I’m enjoying the series, just wish it had more inventive traitors.

My advice is not to think about this too much.

I don’t see how anything resembling this style of football can work at this club for a generation. Even under Enzo, our fan base wasn’t that engaged with it.

I watched him a bit yesterday and he comes across to me as a ball-watcher. He’s not mentally engaged about where or how to best position himself; like one point where there was a long diagonal towards Thomas, he just watched the aerial challenge instead of dropping back into a covering position and adjusting his body shape to react. It was lazy and hesitant. As a result, he’s always having to react to situations instead of reading what opposing attackers are about to do or where the danger is. Admittedly I don’t have the biggest sample size on him, but that’s what I felt.

Sorry, it was a silly joke.

Wasn’t that Game of Thrones?

Saw my first episode of the current series last week. Was underwhelmed. Thought Matt Lucas deserved minus points for his effort at the Two Photos task. I’ve found enjoyment in previous recent series though. Albeit generally with favourite individual contestants like Matt Baynton and Maisie Adam as opposed to the collective.

fixed it. It just had too many words.

So much of that feels half right.

I’m about as pro-BBC as they come but that advert was an awful idea. Cringeworthy and condescending. The fact they’re still hammering it is baffling.

Maybe it should be in Unpopular Opinions because I’m sure it would split the Foxestalk user base, but I hate the smell of cannabis. Absolutely hate it. And it’s everywhere these days. I appreciate it has value for medical reasons and I’m not against that, taken in the right way and form. And I know you don’t make policy based on one person’s opinion but… yeuch. I really hope it’s never legalised but I fear it’s a losing battle.

Bad news: He’s not coming to coach us. Good news: He’s going to be the next England cricket captain instead. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cr475x3wplro

Could’ve been another “loan with an option” deal. Seems to be what everyone’s offering these days.

It looked to me last night like Rowett’s just told him to go Full Huth - no obligation on the ball, play safe, concentrate entirely on defending and clear your lines. It’s probably the best thing for him.

I was keeping an eye on Okoli in the Stoke match. He was rarely in a position to even challenge for a header, let alone win one. He’d go wandering, wrestle a bit with a player in a non danger area and leave the clearing to others. Combine that with Kristiansen ducking out of every aerial challenge too and it’s no wonder we’re getting overloaded. Ideally Nelson should be shouting and organising more, because he’s the only one ever in the right position. But that’s very difficult with inexperience. Particularly, I was concerned that Okoli was hiding against Stoke. Didn’t want the ball, didn’t want to be involved in key moments of defending in case he made a mistake. His confidence must be through the floor. Regardless, he’s got to stand up and get on with it because Lascelles is likely going to be a crock.

I genuinely thought that was going to be a poem from the first four lines.

For those who have been following the saga, is hfaes actually Wout himself pretending to be his own aunt?

Personally, I’m a fan of Union FS. I’m not a member or affiliate, but I appreciate a group who have passion for the club and have clearly dedicated to trying to create an atmosphere, and at a place in the ground where it’s not simply for the sake of antagonising away fans. I also say this as someone who sits in a naturally quieter part of the ground too. I don’t think of them as a problem. Quite the opposite in fact.

I still really like Stolarczyk; having a goalkeeper who is strong in the air is a godsend in a team that’s short like ours. He is making too many mistakes and needs to iron those out. But spending any limited funds we have on a new number 1 would be lunacy to me. We have so many outfield positions to prioritise, while Stolarczyk is good for the Championship and could well have a higher ceiling.

I get the complaints about Thomas, but Kristiansen is the player I most want to see banned from the training ground and told to just leave. He doesn’t want to be here, he doesn’t want to play for us, and he’s nowhere near good enough for the club to put any effort into him.

I’ve been watching weekly, did a double tonight with the last two episodes. Great watch. I had it wrong whodunnit until shortly before the end of Ep 5.

No point doing a DNA test with her because she wouldn’t accept the results anyway. She’s a fantasist.

Under the kind of moderate/anaemic government we’re used to, it is. But my concern is that it’s a gift to a future extreme government. I tend to think: Imagine a government you hate - far left, far right, either, your choice - proposed this. How would you feel then? (For the record, I’m undecided on it.)

His handling wasn’t great tonight, but if a shot goes through the wall then any save is a bonus.

My current gear-grinding advert is the eBay one where the guy’s just bought new speakers. As someone who’s had past troubles with a noisy neighbour, I don’t find it humorously charming and instead I absolutely loathe the fictional c.
