David Weir looks old for someone who only retired saying 12 years or so ago

I know that trusting the process is used a lot more now in football and not just by Fab but it does sound so depressingly like middle-management business speak.

WTF are the BBC playing at? What sort of order is this to list the team? Cope=ied from the BBC webpage:
home team, Brighton & Hove Albion
Manager: Fabian Hürzeler

Starting lineup
41, J. Hinshelwood
2, T. Lamptey
17, Y. Minteh
22, K. Mitoma
20, C. Baleba
14, G. Rutter
18, D. Welbeck (c), Captain
34, J. Veltman
1, B. Verbruggen
4, A. Webster
29, J. van Hecke

It ain't numerical order, it ain't alphabetical. it isn't in the normal order of GK; RB, CB, CB, LB; RCM, LCM etc. - or even in the new weird habit of listing the left sided players before the right sided ones (that seems to have started this season - who the hell decided to change it, BTW?)

Nothing wrong with that. Jack in goal will do. Bart wasted there and has been up front before. Same Webster. Will take Chelsea by surprise.

So true. I had a customer( BAESystems) whose managers trotted it out continually in meetings. It was all about "the process" and not focussing on "results".

Chelsea don't seem like they are in the mood to just give us back-to-back victories.

Impartial media saying Cucurella very lucky not to have been yellow carded. Should have been. A lucky boy!

Terrible refereeing so far, he’s let several obvious fouls go

Hard to see us getting all three points unless we win this one.

I reckon if we draw this we will end up with a point. If this stays at 0-0 I can’t see past a draw

Thomas Tuchel in attendance. That's far more than Sir Gareth ever managed now.
