Probably because he's right footed. Surprised by some comments here, I thought he did fine and showed promise of the quality he has. Yes there was that once miscontrol, but then he ran back the length of the pitch and did enough to stop their man getting a decent shot off. Made up for it.

Isn't that what winning the league should be though - fans of the club going on about it, because it actually means something? Even if they are plastics, and it's tiresome for the rest of us. It concerns me more that a club winning the title barely causes a ripple, that's not good for English...

Yep. We would've shoehorned Kane and Haaland playing upfront together and we still wouldn't have won anything.

Really interesting episode with Tony Bloom on this week. Key takeaways for me: Tony is significantly involved in every men's team transfer, and to a degree in every u21 transfer Our spending this summer will not become normal. We've seen an opportunity, both with our profits last year and...

Don't think we can bring Sarmiento on

Really interesting that when Hürzeler spoke to him to try and convince him to join, he was already telling him how to improve as a player.

His distribution yesterday was superb

I don't think anyone on here is writing off Minteh, actually the comments have been quite measured. Just recognition that he wasn't at his best today - which is fine as a 20 year old, he's still learning and will be inconsistent. But as a team aiming for Europe, we need the best option on the...

Minteh should've cut that back rather than firing it into the box. It gave them the counter attack too. Not working for him today, we need to sub him.

Milner playing well so far

JPvH wasn't a youth product of the club, we brought him in at the same age Barco is now. And his trajectory shows we know what we're doing - we told him at the point of signing him that he'd first go out on loan in Holland, then the championship, then spend a year in the PL squad, then aim to be...

Yep, new manager with a different style, and lots of new players to settle in, means I'm not getting too excited yet. I'd be happy with a top 10 finish, with potential shown for more. Having said that, the depth of the squad does make it feel like we're gearing up for European football. And...

Why would the residents of Tamworth "want their hotel back"? Can't imagine many of them stay there too regularly...

The reasonable majority on the Right need to start making the case for reducing immigration in a sensible, democratic way. Remove the emotive side from it and don't demonise any minority groups (which leads to accusations of racism) and tell us what the issues are, and more importantly, what...

That also can't be entirely true. Otherwise, where does the flavour come from when you cook indirect with charcoal, at temperatures that are too low to burn the fat? If that was the only source of flavour then it would be no different to cooking in an oven. There is a noticeable difference in...

Just bought a half-moon cast iron grid for my Kamado, looking forward to trying it with a steak tonight. Reverse seared obviously, smoked with some Mesquite chunks.

We're not making overall pay comparisons though, we're making comparisons in change in pay over a period of time. Would you be happy if your company didn't give you a pay rise this year, and justified it by saying you already get above average pensions contributions? Or that you already get a...

I'm not sure what that's got to do with relative increases/decreases in pay, compared to 2007 and 2019. Unless the government contributions to those pensions has increased to counteract the stagnation in pay? No, didn't think so.

And about time too - it's been a grim 17 years for public sector workers according to this IFS publication: https://ifs.org.uk/publications/recent-trends-public-sector-pay 1. Average pay in the public and private sectors has performed very differently since the election in 2019. Real public...
