Paninistickers

Oof. Not impressed with that.

They were at the start. I think it was @st albans fox made the excellent point earlier that Enzo inherited a set of players desperate for leadership and eager to buy into anything. Towards the end of the season, that wasn't the case. Vardy was public about the players' meeting and I'm sure it was Coady in a radio interview over the summer hinted that the dressing room needed to sort out a way over the line. John Percy also tweeted that a portion of players weren't disappointed to see him go (tho in fairness that was probs those who'd been excluded, such as Coady and Souttar) Edit; the crowd also contributed to wins v Norwich and West Brom, when the players responded to essentially binning off his tactics

Enzo got away with murder with us. Everything that could've gone right went right. We/he got the desperately needed good start courtesy of fortunate wins v Cov, Huddersfield, Cardiff and Rotherham. All to be honest would've been fairer as draws. Then we got some fear factor in that October period and certain games - stoke, preston - spring to mind the opposition had convinced themselves they were beat before a ball was kicked. I thought from Sheff Weds and West Brom onwards cracks started to appear....we were conceding late goals every game and having to hang on in games we shouldve destroyed the oppo In the end, the players were just too good and had enough to see us over the line. We were promoted in spite of Enzo, not because of him

Yup, sure. Good job that, unlike teachers, all shop workers did live in isolation. All NHS staff fortunately didn't have the communal housing that teachers had. Amazon workers, TV presenters, Lorry drivers too, all of them lived in solitary. The basics were that it wasn't harmful to anyone under 60 odd unless they were very very unwell or very very very unlucky.

Absolutely. Not only that, when Arsenal bring on Nelson to 'chase a game', it's a drop dead giveaway that they aren't good enough. Soon as he's is on, it's game over. He's nowhere near their level. And I'd be surprised if someone so far off Thier level has an impact at the wrong end of the table Funnily enough, I'd rip your arm off for Smith Rowe tho.

True, but in friendlies so far we are playing the back up (ward) to the back up's (Stolarcyk) back up (Iversen) Below that level, you are talking willy Cabellero or Stowell playing....and many people (me included) would choose them two above Ward.

I agree Iversen isn't quite there but as a back up, he's there or there abouts. We can't realistically employ another keeper, back up upon back up. As for Ward, had Iversen have played all season we'd have been at least 4 or 5 points better off - and stayed up

If the money was right, I'd sell. Play Iversen for the next six months til Stolarcyk is ready. Write off the fact that we'll then lose Iversen for free end of season (rather than accept Derby's bid of two dairyleas and a pack of ham) Iversen gets PL football for at least half a season

You can imagine the chat with Adidas. Can you spray some gold to tribute Top please?

That was known more or less from the get go. I presume the Govt were more worried about teaching unions kicking off about the safety of their staff than the kids, who who at almost zero threat from the infection (and certainly way way less endangered from it than they would be meningitis, measles, chick pox, TB even etc)

She didn't even realise that she'd cracked an amusing line, won a polite laugh....but then stunned the audience when it became clear it wasn't a funny line. I don't ever think I've ever seen a worse politician

I disagree.. My guess (stress guess) There was a fear that the NHS could collapse under sheer weight of covid admissions, risking potential social disorder. In the end,.the NHS quietly tamd.discreetly made decisions to choose who lived and died. .

I largely agree..I'm no conspiracy nutter that thinks COVID didn't exist or that the vaccine was so Bill Gates could make us buy computers But COVID itself knocked out the weakest of the weak and, in some unfortunate cases,.the unluckiest of the unlucky. Lockdown itself condemned thousands of cancer (and other illnesses) patients to an early grave,.who might otherwise have had years.of useful life ahead of them

Not even post mortem. It was tested positive at any time in the previous 30 days to death counted as a COVID death. If we applied that same 30 day formula to the common cold, I'd estimate an easy half of the 700k deaths a year would be down to a.runny nose

I've generally found them lacking in customer service skills.. But I've found that they generally respond well to customer indifference and generally being a bit offhand .... and subsequently lighten up a bit.

True. Fair point. Maybe they didn't count car accidents and heart attacks and strokes and cancer as COVID though,.like we did.

I enjoyed it. So did the kids. And all the people I saw out at the same time were enjoying it too. And, much as I despised the concept of a forced, mass house arrest....personally, I absolutely enjoyed being paid 20 grand a year to chill.

So that's got nothing to do with the appalling health, physique, lifestyle and diet many people in the UK have compared with other European countries?

Nice clearing header defending a corner. A feature of our game not seen since Huth and Wes.

Good day for the club. A win. No supporters allowed to watch. No social media communication, until it's all been sanctioned that it's Thai influencer friendly. Matchday goals for Whelan.

Yeah, defo. Any compo have to come off a traveller's own insurance. This will go down as a force majeure

Absolutely 100%

Or go full Italian, loan him, agree to a 50m fee next summer,.then send him back and offer 4m

Sadly the boring truth is that Percy is correct and previous reported bids are wrong. But, in many ways, wouldn't we all love it if Rudkin has just bid less 😂.... something he's probably learned from Asian businessmen in Leicester, who routinely.pull that stunt

The batters havent all clicked this season together. Tonight would be handy!
