Rinse and repeat

Crikey. Another Selby last frame grinder. Absolute scenes.

Even if they didn’t like him (pretty sure the majority did), they clearly respected him.

Given we’ve not had a terrible start and the points deduction is gone, the standard of manager we could get if we pull the trigger now rather than in 3 months is better

I was thinking Cox, seems to be the only that can handle any pressure.

It’s economics too in general though. We have slowly squeezed the smoking industry for good reason, but replaced it with the UPF industry getting more and more capital. It’s why the government should invest more in British grown food (and generally European grown but I’m not bringing Brexit into it). The UPF industry at the moment has hegemony and it’s destroying us as people and the environment.

It’s so simple yet so obvious. The Mediterranean diet is the one. At worst, Southern Europeans will eat loads of carbs and drink wine each day yet will be healthier than the average American, and increasingly British. It’s because ultimately that pasta, bread and wine has barely any nasties put into it whereas ours is full of it and their diets are full of fibre and things that are good for the gut and nervous system (olive oil, nuts, leafy greens). Increases in intolerances and allergies are also related to this.

The situation and context are completely different. The frustration then was that we had worked so hard to get where we had, and that Enzo’s stubbornness was going to lead us to blowing it. That was most certainly panic and obviously I don’t think we were ever seriously contemplating sacking him. The players were still doing what Enzo wanted, we were just terribly ineffective. Here, nobody knows what’s happening, the players look fed up, others are being marginalised, amongst the 100’s of other identified issues.

A clean sheet is a clean sheet

Every single member of our squad is a defensive player in Cooper land.

Ward is actually half decent in shooutouts

Duran has just done one of the worst dives I’ve ever seen for Villa

Realistically he’s only going if the fans (and players) make a genuine stand. Because if it’s anything like 2022/23, he’ll be here all season.

Can we stop with the ableism in the comments please. There are plenty of people with disabilities that could make better decisions than Cooper anyway.

Best player according to FlashScores

The run he had that took Forest from bottom of the championship, to battling for automatic promotion was genuinely sensational, and they were playing some good stuff in that period. Clearly they had little to lose and got an incredible amount of momentum. But Billy Davies did that with Derby too.

You’re assuming that the people making those decisions aren’t complete idiots

Albert Adomah nailed on for a goal

I do keto for a week or two every few months. I find it helps me a lot but it’s obviously impossible to do permanently. The ultra processed food is the main one though, get meat from the butcher, veg from the market and try to eat wholewheat grains. Anything with sugar that isn’t fruit or veg is generally terrible for you.

Its confidence end of. Its the belief in what your doing and having the confidence the communicate that vision to your team to help them buy into it. Lord Nige and O’Neill were charismatic, but they had an understanding of what they were doing and were always competent at developing their squad around their vision.

I think he’d actually be quite handy with this group of players and at least he has a clear identity even if he is a massive weapon. Our squad is a lot better than Southamptons.

Decent ending on the cards in Galle. New Zealand need 78 more with 3 wickets in hand. Would be another good win for the Lankans. As for England, what do they expect when these players are playing 16.4 over cricket during the 50 over season ?

Surely Wilder will kill Joshua based on last night evidence? Very limited boxer but insanely powerful hook.

Tyson Fury will fight him now

Fair, I know there’s been hype since the Usyk losses, almost like a second wind. No shame in losing to Usyk, the Ruiz fight was wild, but this seemed like a unanimous drubbing. He should retire.
