He's 16 and has 1 less G/A contribution in the league than Mavididdy despite playing nearly 3x times less than him. 

 

He's obviously very talented

Says more about how shite Mavididi has been to be honest! 

Every player will have a different view.

Easier to break into a League 1 team, than say a bottom half Premier League team. 
 

Would you rather train at Seagrave, or Stoke? 
 

Do you like coaches? Coaching quality? 
 

Education quality? 
 

Does the academy have better players in the system, which block your path to the first team? 
 

Will I be loaned out? 
 

Youth turnover? 
 

Welfare support? 
 

Injury and wellbeing support? 
 

Nutrition and health support and education? 
 

Communication and growth? 
 

Travel / rest of family impact? 
 

Jokes aside, he’s done okay for Burton numbers wise. More composed than Daka, which isn’t difficult. 

If they don’t start releasing tickets for general sale, the stadium could be really empty next season. 

He’s basically devalued himself further (if possible) by doing this hasn’t he? 

Stealing a big wage, as we hand them out like sweets!

That West Ham v Arsenal is almost a cup final, West Ham win it'll drag them out bottom three and dent in Arsenal's title race. win for Arsenal that's pretty much the title race decided and possibly Tottenham's chance to pull away leaving West Ham behind. Draw more of bad result for West Ham than Arsenal, especially with that West Ham goal difference.

Arsenal will see them off quite easily I’d imagine, as they will do Burnley. 
 

Crystal Palace might give them a game, however they should see this out to secure the title quite convincingly now really.

Four of the most punchable faces in the league.

The whole playing Thomas Partey thing when he’d be accused of certain misdemeanours was bonkers. The only thing that topped it was him being charged the minute his contract expired. 

I dislike Arsenal and Liverpool. For no other reason than the fans to be honest. 

In fact, I dislike both of them more than Coventry, Derby, Forest etc

I know more supporters of these team, than I do of our Midlands rivals. 
 

It would be lovely to see Bayern and Kane in particular take Arsenal apart. 

Jamie Vardy Documentary is the 12th May. 

This Manchester City team are so fragile. 

They are now! 
 

Everton have been great to watch in this half. 

How are Everton not winning this

Everton play like a gang of thugs. After watching our bunch of pussies all season it's quite refreshing to see 

The aggressive press is lovely to watch. 

Fuji has got away with one ….

Ndiaye should be burying that. 

That fact Donnaruma has held it is bonkers

Out of contract at the end of the season, would you have him back?

No, we need to move forward. 

Ricardo at his peak, was maybe the best right back in the Premier League the season, contest with Trent and Wan-Bisakka. 
 

However injuries ruin players. 
 

He wouldn’t have stayed with us if he hadn’t got injured.

This seems like it should be illegal but I don’t know why? It’s like a low key form of manipulation/coercion?

 

 

I’ve just looked at this and it feel so wrong. 
 

This is straight out of the Trump playbook! 
 

When will this form of politics crash and burn, so we can go back to sensible people attempting to run the world. 

I actually saw a living badger in my front garden this morning. I think they’ve set up a set in the large pond opposite our house. 
 

We’ve had otters, foxes, swans etc, however I’ve never had a badger! Until today.

I’d be going straight into that castle with the theory that one of Rob, Romesh or James is a traitor. I’d be surprised if none are. Money is probably on Romesh.

Or is that the double bluff … ?

Boat crossings down 42% this year on the same period last year. 
 

Weather be a factor in that but the Times article reporting a number of other reasons too 

Another reason is they’ve realised that it’s no longer worth it! 

Has Trump honestly said they’ll take Cuba on the way back from Iran?!? 

I wonder if we have him contracted to the 30th June, or he’s now finished? 
 

Either way, I hope we have already stated work on next season. 

I’ve got a better first touch than he has.
