There’s close to zero chance that they outgun Liverpool let alone Arsenal or Man City. Top four is well within their capability though.

Doyle being fit for the Ipswich game would be lovely.

I bet those Birmingham fans loved it too, let's be honest. Proper riled them up.

I actually wonder if it's a bit more about our aging population. The fanbases in stadiums are generally a lot older now. Plus we live in a two-tier have/have not society. The have not's simply can't afford to go to the football, in the 70's, 80's and 90's they would've been there. If you think about society now, it's ripe historical conditions for counter cultures, out of touch government who basically everybody hates, terrible economic conditions etc etc, but there's absolutely nothing. It's very sad.

I wouldn’t rule Boro out v Chelsea, if they can get stuck into them and get an early lead then Chelsea can crumble even over two legs.

Given what they’ve done in Canada and the US recently, nobody should trust the Indian government, especially when the victims are either Sikh or Muslim. If it Russians committing these acts we’d rightly be administering strong sanctions.

Broad did very little in an ashes series that we didn’t even win. Even saw Piers Moron suggest Ronnie O’Sullivan who wasn’t even world champion. Some men just hate to see women do better than them.

The very fact you’ve had to do that is appalling on their part.

He kind of brushed his hand, not an outright refusal but just as pathetic as doing so.

Also stupid getting booked after 10 minutes.

One for @Ric Flair Last Christmas you gave me Tete, But the very next May, they took him away, This year to save me from tears, I'll sing it to Abdul Fatawu.

I reckon that Zaluzhny guy is gonna try and overthrow Zelenskyy, either that or the pre Zelenskyy president will come back with Klitschko.

I think Howe is way closer to the sack than people realise.

Good to see the back of that loser James Wade. I think it's nailed on for a Steve 'Bronzed Adonis' Beaton to make a glorious march to the title.

Yeah but Stoke

Schumacher leaving Plymouth for Stoke seems absolutely stupid to me.

At least we can relegate them next season.

The touches and movement for both goals show that he is a baller. Nobody has come close to scoring that sort of goal against us this season, most usually come from defensive lapses, deflections or hit and hopes, that first goal was genuine top level class. It sounds like he's only just started playing in a more advanced role too.

One of the things about modern football and especially what we're seeing under Enzo is that players aren't playing in traditional positions. Players aren't defenders, midfielders and attackers anymore. Who is the best striker? Probably Vardy. Who based on the evidence of the past 3 games suits Maresca's game plan best, it's looking increasingly like Daka as his pace advantage and quick thinking clearly helps us to transition faster. This is simply a black or white question which doesn't have a black or white answer.

They might improve to begin with but this is no way to run a football club long term. The constant turnover of players followed now by I assume will be a merry go round of managers will eventually drag them down be it this season or next. As we're seeing with Brentford, Villa, Brighton etc, the way to succeed as a PL club in the current era is future investment and to try and build something.

Just to say, we have struggled in every single game against the poorest teams in the league (Rotherham, QPR, Hudds, Sheff Wed) although all have been away. 3 points against Rotherham is the same as 3 points against Ipswich. 1-0 will do me. We should not be arrogant, rotate if we need but not gung ho like some are suggesting.

Yeah the rates are the highest in over a year and for most it’s more and more time since they were vaccinated so you will feel rougher sadly.

Ok so I thought minute 30 through to minute 70 was the best football we’ve played all season. I’m also not too worried about the goals, both tonight’s first and Millwall’s first were incredibly well taken goals, the second was a massive deflection.

if a player is not 100% then they can’t play imo. We have enough depth to carry us. There’s also some nasty flu’s/cold’s/viruses going around atm, I’ve been in bed with one all weekend.

1-0 will do me.
