I mean, he might not be the best, but think the 3, could’ve been more, goals we’ve conceded are a bit more of a problem.

It’s not the main issue, but the least you can be is organised. Even a non-league defence wouldn’t have gone to a Prem club and been set up like this.

Even with a shit defence you can still be organised. Absolutely nobody taking responsibility.

It was nearly 10-years-ago. Do you think he’d have sat on the bench for a decade?

Completely agree. Investors will want some return from their investment though so the money going to the counties will end pretty quickly now.

The England Women’s Ashes tour has got to be the worst performance by any England side against Australia - and that is an incredibly low bar.

You’re meant to.

Well the President’s blaming ‘diversity’. Even conspiracy theorists might struggle to top that.

Or

I’ve watched some of the foreign series where I’ve known absolutely none of them and many are still great. S2 of New Zealand is up there with the British ones as one of the best series.

It’s within a mile of the ground. Brentford, Chelsea, Fulham etc is way more than a mile from central London. Newcastle is within a mile of pretty much all the pubs in the city centre.

Woke the wife up laughing at that.

Fair play to any of you going through it again for the second time in an hour!

I tell myself I don’t care anymore. Bed-ridden due to injury, but just jumped out and gone mad. Made the injury worse probably oh but **** it. Fair play to RVN today. I’d not seen anything to make me think he’s a football manager, but he changed things around and worked the game well. Yes Spurs are shite, but bar one moment defended well, and again get the points because we’ve not conceded two.

There’s way more than that mate!

Was getting annoyed with BEK’s lack of end product in the first half but that was incredible.

Gave away a soft goal and no end product in the final third.

Which one??

Already had a good few chances to create something after winning the ball up the pitch, but the passing has been shocking.

It’s not far off the way Cooper lined them up. Basically Ruud too has now realised how shit the defence is and is trying to make us harder to beat, maybe knick something later on with ‘options’ off the bench.

Sky are desperate for this debutant to get sent off.

I don’t know how many clean sheets Everton have, but I’m guessing it’s already double what we’re going to have in the whole season. No way we were going to finish above them.

Saw a great stat today and think it’s correct. Every player Chelsea has played in the Premier League this season so far is at least 10 years younger than Jamie Vardy.

I agree to a certain extent, but if you’ve not really achieved anything in management to back your approach up then it’s not likely to go down well. It’s incredibly similar to the rumours around the fallings out that happened at his only other job where he walked before he was pushed. Pearson was a novice and did it, but it’s easier to do that in League One or the Championship where you have a comparatively decent squad and the Premier League when you have one of the worst.

How can you rate the January transfer business when it’s not over and the one player who has signed most of us have never seen play?
