The government really don't want to shine a light on anything that might further enflame racial tensions but, in trying to avoid doing so, might well end up really fanning the flames. The control and manipulation of 'truth' is also really concerning to see playing out. Spectacular chicanery from a thoroughly disappointing Labour government.

Wants a stern word for taking off James yesterday when he was the only one who seemed interested in the first half. He's working with some shit, for sure, but the question mark is over wether his work is actually any good in spite of that.

Ricardo needs on. Provides attacking support that nobody else on the bench does.

The manager has seen Soumare, watched him in training AND in games, and has judged him the best option.

People said I was being too harsh and not giving him a chance but it was a black mark against Marti that he started off with Soumare. He'll be gone when we have midfielders I was told. He isn't and it calls into question Cifuentes' ability to manage this team. To drop Ramsey and play Soumare tells me we've made a significant mistake in employing him .

Anyone got a stream to dm?

There's no avenue for fighting back anymore. They don't care what's said on here or on other social media platforms. They don't care about the FAB. Our match going fans have been subdued to the point of oppression and any dissent is quickly drummed out. We're lurching towards a Chansiri situation slowly. The second we're really in the cart Aiyawatt will **** off and ignore it. His apologists will trot out some spiel about honour and shame in Thai culture to deflect. I think it might be a case of going to watch Ashby or Coalville for me. Leicester have become something I don't really recognise anymore.

I've always imagined they had the surgery and steadily followed a recovery regimen. What more can there be to it?

I've long pointed out the steady Americanisation of football to derision. "Why are you bothered about calling someone a quarter back or subject verb agreement." And my ire has always been at the slow but inevitable shift towards matches abroad and the regional becoming international. Today is the natural conclusion and the beginning of the end. It might be time to pursue other sports. Football has changed beyond recognition now and will continue to do so.

Performative posting.

This thread isn't about what actually harms us. But it is just performative nonsense.

The stupid wrist kissing, praying, and all the other stupid little symbols and gestures that football players do. They aren't pious. They're not religious. It's all for attention. Some of the ones like Daka and Mane are the worst for it. Not think to pray in the changing rooms, perhaps, given that prayer is silent and personal contemplation? No? Needs to be done in front of thousands and on TV? Attention hungry clowns.

Apparently I'm not wrong.

Footballers are thick as they come. Even money he doesn't know how to pronounce his own name.

Mavididi to be honest. Ayew would offer more in the first sixty at the minute. Then either Monga or Mav as an impact sub.

Does his best work way out wide of the center. Holds up balls in the flanks well. Which is unsurprising since he isn't a striker. Cifuentes needs to realise that and play to his strengths. He's not good enough for what we are asking but might be good enough if we start playing to his actual strengths.

This exactly. He needs to bin Soumare and move Ayew out wide for James/Ramsey and our new dream boat striker.

"I thought Soumare was okay except for being shit and causing loads of problems"

I said when he signed, I said after the first line up, and I'll say it again now. Starting Soumare is a big fat black cloud. At the start the argument was 'who have we got here that's better' but taking off James today is a major problem for me. He needs to get a hold of the fact that Soumare doesn't add anything to the team. He works against it.

That was some of the worst football I've seen. All the sky sports rhetoric about late drama doesn't excuse that this is the same 'late drama' that is equivalent to the late drama of shitting yourself slightly before crawling into bed after a night of drinking crap beer and getting rejected by the uggos.

De Cordova ****ing Reid

This has been a totally abject performance. Nothing at all we can take away as a positive.

Like many I want to love Marti. That in mind, there are many unavoidable mistakes here. We don't need players like Monga on the bench. We don't need to be setting up negatively. We don't need to be building up when we're one nil down. He needs to play to the strengths of these players and not trying to hide the weaknesses.

Fatuwu is he best player on this pitch and there isn't anything to support him. It's like watching Mozart piss about on an electric keyboard with no plug.

We could play for hours and my word. We're not even close to challenging them.
