The Football looks rusty to me but very little fast interplaying on show apart from in Newcastle vs Villa. Even Man City looked a bit ponderous. Burnley played some decent stuff at times, as did Villa. Brentford vs Spurs was awful and Liverpool and Chelsea are both relying on long balls and...
Watched him in the first leg of the play-off draw vs Coventry. He played well, closing attackers down and tackling well when possible. He moves into good positions all the time, plays others in on the overlap and passes very well, usually first time. Ryan looks like a wing-back to me, Takes good...
Two of the three goals Chelsea scored were in added-on time and the one just before the break was after time added-on had elapsed, as another thread deals with.
I'm not disputing that Chelsea were by far the better team, but we knew that before the match. My point is that switching off...
What has gone wrong with his development? He seemed so well spoken of when he featured briefly for the first team. He featured a bit on loan but is not playing for the under-23s or training with the first team squad, it seems.
bombing out of Swansea after some incident about an emoji which enraged fans and manager. Registered with Bayern but could be loaned out again. Portugal starlet at the last international tournament, showing so much ability. Could Nuno and his team be the ones to bring him back to his best? An...
An interesting article here:
How hunter-gatherers maintained their egalitarian ways - Peter Gray
Suggests that cooperation has been practiced by human beings for tens of thousands of years, a lot longer than the capitalist competitiveness which is often taken to reflect human nature.
my eldest boy leaves tomorrow. Has anyone else had the fruit of their loins go so far away with a fair chance they'll end up emigrating to the other side of the world? How do you cope? AND his flight takes him over Syria to Doha, sharing air space with Russian war planes!
Just watching Tory Conference. Hammond, the second richest MP with over £8m net personal wealth, mostly drawn from his company Castlemead, which took advantage of Thatcher's Health Privatisation to start building Doctor's surgeries within Housing Developments in the early 1990s, provided more...
The German Election results actually show the combined far left (die Grunen & die Linke) got 17% of the vote compared to the far right AfD's 13%, but Aunty's news is all about the rise of the Far Right in Germany. Scroll back to the last but one EU EU election, unspoilt by national election...
One of the best articles ever on this - by an ex-police officer, who puts the whole thing in historical context: a continued use of the laws and regulations passed nearly 30 years ago in error, probably deliberate rater than inadvertent error, and in defiance of what we now know to be the facts...
After yet another cracking goal from him for the under-23s, I would like to know the views of those who've watched the under-23s this pre-season and last season on whether or not he has progressed to the point where he should train with the first team and be in contention? He is a big unit, has...
