If everyone stop going, stopped buying shitty kits, and stopped paying Sky overnight and committed to it, things would change. Obviously it needs collaboration for that change to happen in a way that suits fans, but if we don't vote with our feet/money, clubs will continue to exploit us because why wouldn't they? If they do what they want and people moan but all the money keeps coming in, why will they change? Clubs only care when they see something hit their finances.

In the middle half of the pitch I think we've been OK with the ball but at either end it's been poor. No real threat or cutting edge and Chelsea have cut through us so easily. Defending for both of their goals and the Sterling miss were awful. So simple. We're lucky it's only 2 at the moment.

I went to see my sister when she lived in Vancouver in 2016. We drove to Banff and camped there for a few days before heading back - think it was about 10 hours drive each way but we took turns with her mates and it is a pretty drive most of the way. Past half way ish it's as good as any drive in the UK. Wish we'd had more time there, the area surrounding Banff is the most beautiful I've ever been to. There isn't much in Banff itself so depending on how into nature and walks they are a few days around Banff may be enough. Vancouver is up there as one of my favourite cities; beaches, an enormous park/forest, continuous waterfront and everything you want from a modern city, I reckon there's plenty to keep the kids entertained! Can't recommend it enough - any Qs let me know.

I'll say what I said when I first saw this... News: Wind powered boat - who'd have thunk it!

I disagree, I think that is the softest claim of the 3. There's barely any contact at all. Vardy has thrown himself down twice.

Big goal for Arsenal that, thought they'd thrown it away after a really strong first half. Forgot how overly theatrical the PL is - so much moaning and surrounding the ref.

No way were getting close to the record now unfortunately.

Thought the penos were similar, both soft but I don't think either set of fans can really complain about them. What annoyed me was the guy blocking the quick free kick towards the end and the ref trying to insert himself into every situation in stoppage time.

Not our best but saying that was abject or shit is not being objective. We made some silly mistakes and were missing that cutting edge in the final third but Hull seem a decent enough side and we've come back twice. Just a shame we couldn't get that winner.

Feels worse than it did last season at the moment.

There's an absolute boatload of comments in the post match thread saying we need to be better. Also, what are you suggesting fans should be doing to tackle this squad's soft underbelly?

I think half the reason the refs not given that is because of where the ball is. His touch is poor, the ball is too far ahead of him and I think he knows he's fluffed the chance to get a shot away. Contact is minimal and he flies forward. Common to see stuff like that given but that doesn't mean it's right, he's trying to buy a pen.

I go in occasionally. Fresh fruit and veg choice/quality is poor, but they've got the best nut selection of any of the major supermarkets AND they have salt & vinegar hula hoops as well. Worth popping in on that basis alone.

Trying to get nice a little side hustle going eh

On our bench without a League Cup Winners Medal?

Err...

After my second half when I was running regularly I started getting this discomfort in my knee. Felt like it was twisted, was affecting my running and was very noticeable when I was commuting on my bike. Went to the physio and it turned out it was a combination of very tight IT bands and overpronation (ankle rotation inwards) - IT bands pulling my knee out, ankle pulling it in. Essentially I wasn't doing enough warming up/down or strengthening and conditioning work. Can't say I recall having IT band syndrome, but as a general aid I would second the recommendation for a foam roller, it makes a surprisingly big difference. I play field hockey which is very heavy on the quads and hammys and use mine pre-warm up and during the week if I can. It's often noticable immediately afterwards. Outside, just below the knee.

What numbers are those? Were they all complete turd apart from Kroos and the keeper?

Does it say why it was reduced?

I've never understood all the grief Madders got - a lot of it to me always seemed to come from a place of jealousy and anger. His comments about staying up last season will no doubt be well remembered, but for me he always worked hard, was often the only bright spark we had and it seems clear to me he's a good lad.

I find this baffling and I don't think many of our fanbase would describe him as lazy.

The Little Things on Netflix with Denzel, Remi Malek and Jared Leto. Was OK, a little slow which I was OK with but the ending I thought was disappointing. Dialogue too quiet at times also.

I enjoyed this

They would have to be a shower of incompetent, nepotist shits not to be.

The way he speaks is brilliant. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is but he seems to know just the right things to say. The club have deservedly taken a pasting on here over the last couple of years, but one thing they do deserve credit for is appointing Enzo. Surely can't have been anyone better for the job out there. Granted that might make the decision seem obvious, but it's always easy to say that with hindsight.
