As he's here I'll support him but I don't think he's the right fit.
Maybe he'll get the youngsters playing some nice, confident stuff.
I'm expecting a number of gaffes as we aim to play it out from the back alongside the odd game where we put six or seven past a team.
I'm going anywhere in the top half by the end of next season (if he stays).

The only upside is that he has to rebuild his career as much as the club has to rebuild its reputation.
I hope he's finally learned that results matter more than aesthetics. That can come later if and when we're actually good.
Currently I don't think he's the right man. But of course I sincerely hope he succeeds here.

Regarding the energy demands of AI, how feasible is it really that data centres could be put in space?
Is the energy needed to put them there less than that required if they were situated on the Earth instead, bearing in mind that they may need to be repaired and/or upgraded periodically?
Also what about ever-increasing space pollution and the increasing likelihood of debris in space becoming a danger for other satellites?
I'd genuinely like to read about the pros and cons, understanding that once the data centres are up there, they're powered by limitless solar energy.

Happy with Japan 🗾 🇯🇵

We didn't play to our wingers' strengths last season.
We allowed teams to double up on them.
Under Maresca, as it was for De Zerbi's Brighton, it was about finding your wide forwards at the point of maximum opportunity. That's half the reason for playing around in what looks like boring possession for possession's sake.
It's no coincidence that under Maresca, both wingers shone. Granted, we had KDH and Ndidi supporting them, which helps. But under Cooper, RVN, Cifuentes and Rowett, we essentially just gave the ball to whatever wingers were playing and asked them to do something magical.
Fatawu has the materials to be a very good player. In a good team under a competent coach, he'll fly.

The problem with Martin, realistically, I think, is that for Southampton promotion was the target and, yes, he achieved that but they were at times very inflexible, naive defensively and got battered a few times, not least by us.
Once in the Premier League, he oversaw an almost record breakingly bad season.
Then he woefully underachieved at Rangers and, before Southampton, he was a bit meh at MK Dons and Swansea in terms of results.
So the signs are that he isn't quite as good as he thinks and it's the controlling, possession-based football, which many fans have turned and are turning against, that is getting him decent jobs.
At some clubs, it might work. But the signs are that he's less able to implement it effectively than he thinks.
Because of all that, a huge proportion of our fans won't want him here. And sometimes that gets whipped up into exaggerated hatred and piss taking about him personally.

I'd back him the moment he puts on a Leicester shirt, but just magine if we sign Lyndon Dykes and Sheffield Wednesday sign Jamie Vardy.
It would be absolute bedlam on here.

I've noticed people are getting worse and worse on roundabouts.
If it's not people refusing to indicate at all coming off them, I've noticed so many people indicating at the complete wrong moment.
So many indicating off early where it looks like they're coming off a junction before, or just indicating the wrong way as they come off, it's mad.
1 hour ago, Parafox said:Had exactly this earlier today, twice. Waiting to join a roundabout waiting for cars to pass. I started to move when I thought there was a gap as the car from the right was indicating to exit to the junction before mine, only to continue past it and then exit to my left. The car immediately behind did exactly the same thing.
Both were taxis btw. They drive for a living. How can they be so universally bad at it.
Then there are those that just decide to enter a roundabout when they feel like it cutting across traffic that's already on the roundabout. Feel like this has become much more common in the last few years.

Shame about Onanaye, thought he looked really tidy at the start of the season.
Good about Wilson-Brown, Cartwright and Neale. Be good to see what Neale can do on loan with the other two maybe being brought into the first-team fold.
Hope Ali, King and Briggs sign especially.

Think it's a little bit sad if English sides hoovering up the European trophies becomes a consistent thing.
Can't knock Villa as an individual club, they've gambled and it's paying off for them. One European trophy and a couple of seasons in the CL over the last few years.
Palace having a good chance of winning the ECL, West Ham winning it, Spurs nabbing the Europa League last season. Individually, obviously they're going to want to win it.
But surely it's less exciting when you can say at the start of the season that an English team should win the trophy and then one does.

Didn't Vardy say precisely that he didn't want to play for a club in the same division as Leicester? I guess Sheffield Wednesday is a different kettle of fish, though, especially as his chances to go back there are fast running out.
It'd be horrible to see him lining up against us but he deserves to do whatever he likes.
Genuinely, the club need to build the statue already. Name a stand after him. Name the stadium after him. Do something.

Always have to bear in mind with Alves and Braybrooke that they both suffered the kind of injuries that have ended careers in decades past.
Getting back to the level they were at while developing the kind of in-game knowhow in men's football is always going to take time when coming back from setbacks like that.
The fact that we're probably going to be at Braybrooke's level next season is one of the biggest unintended upsides of our whole disastrous fall from grace. He could come of age as we restart our rise, same with Alves if he can stay fit, and then we have Cartwright coming back who's had a season in a tough league, Monga and Page still here (for now), Aluko hopefully being the first-choice RB, Otchere, Hutchinson, Briggs, Carr, Neale, Gray, Ali plus probably a few more begging for game time/a loan move to test them, I think we could - if we're lucky and smart - build something phoenix-like from the ashes of this ruinous period in our history.
I'm sceptical, based on the people making the decisions, but I'm always hopeful.

Must get boring in scotland when the same two from the same city win it every single year. Sadly doubt we will see another club like hearts come close like this for a while.
I'd hope with Tony Bloom's input they'll at least make it a three-horse race most seasons and win at least one in the next few seasons. They have the backing and the knowhow to achieve more with fewer resources, and if they continue to challenge their ability to spend money will increase and therefore give them a better chance of winning it. I think they're set up to win it sooner rather than later.

Absolute sickener this. After their woes earlier in the season under Rodgers and Nancy, it's horrible that they're able to come back and win it.
More competition will strengthen that league, but obviously Celtic fans won't care.

It is a bit ironic how the club insisted on going with adidas (I think Puma's tender even offered more money? Could be misremembering) because they saw adidas as a "prestige brand", only to end up with two ultra-dodgy (to say the least) front-of-shirt sponsors from ultra-dodgy industries
I'd be well up for us going with a less prestige brand just for a bit more variety and, I would presume, a more club-specific design.
Joma, Errea, Hummel, Reebok, Kappa, Diadora, someone like that.

Needs a proper run doesn't he. If he gets a good pre-season, heavy involvement in a sequence of games and no managerial upheaval, I think he'll fly.

I'm ready for the redemption arc. Really ready for it. We need something. Two promotions in minimum three seasons please.
We need to get out of this division. Do that and I think we're in a position to compete at the top end of the Championship again.
The jury is well and truly out. But this club does extraordinary stories and pulling things out of the fire just when you think all is lost.
I'll forever be an optimist, despite my current misgivings about this manager.
