Pathetic, the little tin pot dictator can’t get his act together for footballing matters but all of a sudden he can intervene for this.

They’ve fouled so much

Fatawu is brilliant. Every time he gets the ball it looks like something will happen

Holly Bush and DPI are so so good. Had a spitfire lager in the Princess of Prussia in the city pre-gig yesterday, what a pub that is by the way

Empire of the Sun were fantastic, proper show and the Old Naval College is cracking gig venue.

Good riddance, over-earnest blustering bin liner of a player. The shit he was coming out with last season about “this is the best dressing room I’ve ever been a part of”. So full of shit and no mythical “leadership” quality is worth having to accommodate with a formation change. £7m and whatever he’s leached in wages (£6-7m?), what a waste.

Great keeper but Schmeichel came across as too arrogant to me. I like him but I’m not as fond of him as some are.

Always thought Chilwell was a bit of a fanny when he played for us. Compounded by leaving and saying he’d rather beat us in the cup final than win the Champions League - ****ing dolt

Difficult to judge players that you haven't watched. Banks Pereira Elliott Fofana Fuchs Cambiasso Kante Barnes Izzet Mahrez Vardy

I have a spare for Empire of the Sun in London tomorrow, ticket will be way below face value if anybody wants it

Food and the staff are great at the monk, absolutely nails the basics which most places don’t. You’re right, The White Hart is a good pub though besides the boohoo man JM10 interior. The tea room/cafe is worth having breakfast or lunch in at Stonehurst and it’s pretty reasonably priced.

£50ish for lunch I should add. Evening menu is pricier but it’s 7 courses iirc.

John’s House, if you can get in, best food I’ve ever eaten and it was just the lunch menu. Comes out to ~£50ish per head but it’s far better value than say 3 courses at somewhere a rung or two down like the Knight & Garter The Monk in Quorn is reliably very good, can’t go wrong with the Griffin in Swithland either.

I'm a 10/10 KP hater but I'm fairly excited because the academy grads and it's hard to know where we'll finish up. In 23-24 it felt like we should blitz it but I don't know where we'll stack up, so there's more intrigue

Hope Wednesday fans actually go into all out protest mode now, they’ve not really gone for it yet and Chansiri has been terrible for years.

No idea

Bednarek on £70k according to Capology, although you do have to take those numbers with a pinch of salt. The reality is Rudkin is shit at everything so why we wouldn't he bad at selling players too? Even an average DoF would do a better job.

Top is the most agency-less man in the world, he owns a football club and the biggest impact he has is 'we maybe want to try and play like Man City' and we've recently appointed Steve Cooper because that's who his arsehole lodger fell on. It's insane we have this dictatorial, top-down culture behind the scenes and he's also a complete wet lettuce at the same time.

BEK averages 0.25 xA per 90 in his career, he could pretty easily add 0.10 adjusting for the drop in quality for the championship. Plus players usually outperform their xA so I could see him with 20+ quite easily, especially if he's on set pieces. He's at 0.10 xG per game, KDH was at similar or even worse in his league campaigns but he cruelly had the ability to score more as evidenced by his Blackpool loan and his limited minutes in European campaigns. If he stays he'll score more than he has obviously - but I don't think he has the timing of KDH but he's probably a better ball striker. I'd guess something like 10-12 goals and 18-20 assists. Leif Davies set up 18 in 23-24.

Prefer Spice Cube to Gurkha New Delhi but they’re both good.

Someone has to want these players

He has no clue about the nuances between Rohl and Cifuentes styles, let's be honest

Imagine if we'd started on -6 last season. We wouldn't have made double figures
