We spend less in public money per capita than the US, Switzerland, Norway, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada, France, IReland, Australia, Japan, Finland and Iceland. We need more hospitals, community services, diagnostic services and staff.

This is a widespread problem. Not just in football but all walks of life. There's data, and metadata, and meta-analysis of metadata, and there's an expectation that you will conform to the statistical norm. There's a drive towards standardisation. The outcome is that the average shifts in a good way, but there is wildly diminished room for individuality and brilliance. If we're not careful society will lose the exceptional. The other issue is that people are losing the ability to see the wood for the trees. They're so intent on looking for data and trends that they can't see what is in front of them and cannot act without the security of data. My recent experience of managers is that they won't do anything without numbers and won't interact with their employees. They've lost the ability to draw conclusions and challenge data based on their experience.

I do. We've skirted FFP real close and the PL clearly aren't ****ing about with it anymore.

Couldn't watch today but the highlights suggest we were atrocious first half and clinical in the second. Isn't a Vardy goal from an Albrighton cross a wonderful thing to see? Looks onside for his second to me. He's still got quality, Vardy, we don't always use him right but if we do he will still score. Dire Birmingham defending mind.

I don’t think we have the squad depth for a tilt at the FA Cup, playing the reserves is the right decision and if we get knocked out so be it.

Yep, cause of FFP.

A few weeks ago and I'd have been tempted as it's clear we can't sign anyone without selling players, even if we go up. Now is appalling timing though.

Most chemical sleep aids aren’t going to help you in such a short space of time. They’re more likely to add to a sense of grogginess. Sleep aids are really only effective at helping to restore a healthy sleep pattern over an intermediate term. There is some evidence for melatonin for jet lag but it’s more about reducing the duration of symptoms and I think your trip is too short for you to have positive benefit. Avoid salty and fatty food, alcohol and caffeine. Keep well hydrated. If you don’t have to do work on the day you arrive, get a little fresh air then rest and try to go to bed at what would be a sensible early bedtime for the time zone, then try to get yourself awake at an appropriate local time as well. You’ll probably be more jet lagged on the return leg, flying east is usually worse.

He could, and probably ought to, do jail time here.

The sob story is less compelling when you've signed up to another club's forum and typed it all out when no-one asked.

Been coming for ages, we just can’t see games out.

Why are we so open at the back when creating so little?

Cannon is a sublime finisher.

I imagine we did pay something for Casadei so we've probably had a partial refund and he's off the wage bill. Probably helps balance things.

Replaceable I think. Wish him well.

I see individuals make jokes and then fail to take responsibility for them on a regular basis.

Guessing someone found a few boxes they''d forgotten in the warehouse.

Let them, it means very little in the grand scheme of things.

Call them by the given name?

Ah well. This game changes nothing about our season.

When on earth did Enzo get his two other yellows?

Where were all these shitnugget Coventry fans when they were in League One and on the verge of going bust?

I'm content Fatawu's is a red as well.

Inclined to agree with this. Think Fatawu's is a little harsh but it's hard and fast with studs up. Think reckless is a fair interpretation.

Wrong, dangerous play is dangerous play.
