Didn’t quite realise how much Ipswich had spent. They’ll be in trouble if they don’t stay up.

Whoever it is whether Ruud or another manager, it can’t be a stop gap O’Neil/Cooper/Parker type, it has to be someone who will given time to build something because that’s the only way of sustained success. Aka Maresca, Rohl, the lad from Arsenal, even a Tom Cleverly type.

I think Enzo always rated them as people, but didn’t like the structure (as it’s not where it needs to be for a club in 2024) which I think is a fair assessment.

The Greizeman one was a bad decision at the worst time but it was not an absolute howler compared to some of the others mentioned on here

Has anyone ever been to Galway/Connemara? What are the highlights?

Was going to recommend Peschiera! Verona is gorgeous.

Saw a similar one in the cricket the other week where he landed awkwardly and basically ripped the nerves in his neck like whiplash.

Not saying, I don’t want to be partey to any legal proceedings.

I’d imagine the unnamed premier league player from a north London team who wear red, whose about to be charged with rape, will have a very public trial, will get found not guilty on a lack of evidence and it’ll be a complete mess

He basically wants the same as Putin, he wants USA, Russia and China to have spheres of interest. Which is proper 19th century imperialist stuff. The problem is that while Putin is up for that and you could end up in an iron curtain situation with Russia, China absolutely doesn’t want that and it’s going to cause a lot of issues.

We lost £151m in 2022/23?? Sorry but that’s terrifying. £312m over three years is also completely crazy and unsustainable. The board are not fit for purpose.

These were all ‘low risk’ signings and didn’t put the future of the club in jeapordy.

If trump wanted to invade Britain, occupy it and install a MAGA type government, could we defend it and would we even defend it?

They’ve won six in a row as well. All logic suggests that they’ll be dropping points in the next few games because teams simply don’t win 8-9-10 games in a row (apart from peak Man City).

One absolute battering from Liverpool in a week and threads like this will thankfully stop. Newcastle and Man City will be within 2 and 3 of them then too.

Think they’re expecting 21k according to the Mercury

Who’ll get a bigger crowd Saturday, city or tigers?

I guess autism is on a spectrum so we all have autistic ‘traits’ and your son will be at the higher end of that. I’m at the lower end but profound enough that it’s impacted the way I interact with others. It’s also just entered our language hasn’t it, everything is a bit autistic or adhd these days as if it’s a adjective when it’s actually debilitating for those who meet criteria for a diagnosis. Also big up, raising a child with autism is hard but with loving parents I can’t imagine anything more rewarding.

As somebody actually slightly autistic, Trump absolutely isn’t, he’s just a narcissistic weirdo. Musk has more of an argument, his social adaptation is appalling.

The problem was, and where I have a little sympathy, is that you had everyone in the media saying that he should take the arsenal and Tottenham job, I distinctly remember 606 after the Everton 94th minute winner home game and Savage saying that those teams should pay whatever for Rodgers. A week later he signed a massive contract.

It’s more the pissing it away that annoys people. If there was an ounce of competence and we had rotten luck then people would be less angry. Yes we’re in the upper % of teams that have ‘overachieved’ but generally I don’t believe in that in this current age. The best clubs are also the most sustainable

You literally have Bournemouth floating in the top half of the Prem. By size alone they’re League One/Two. But nobody overachieves at this level, you’re as good as the system you create. We had a system and we dismantled it all, for what? To stroke Brendan Rodgers ego?

Their breach was minor and certainly not in the spirit of screw the rules. If they did go hell for leather they’d have gotten a much bigger deduction.

Forest are 8th in the home table for a reason, because they have to dictate the play.

He’s not the finished deal but he’s clearly a talent based on his stats and will become a top player. And we’re letting him go, like that
