Spends press conferences trying to make the players better rather than spouting shite. As tedious and insight-less as it is to watch, he was straight into praising, say, Dan Burn after Wolves. Positive/grounded psychology all the way rather than, say, previous managers calling players inept...

Kane, Fernandes and Gundogan are the only top Premier League scorers with more than him since Boxing Day in the league. Scored more than Zlatan, Morata etc. 1,421 minutes without a booking - miles ahead of any recent England centre-back. Trippier is the only England defender who can rival that...

There was a game last year when they asked Evra about us and he just mumbled something and then, after trailing off, murmured that he'd forgotten what he was talking about. They just laughed. I kind of get why it doesn't matter to execs because the proportion of people watching who aren't Man...

Can't stand Sky. Hardly in a position to throw stones here but how no-one has told Alan Smith how much his voice grates...and Tyler is constantly looking for a soundbite a la "and it's live". Adds **** all. But most national commentators in this country are like that. Bundesliga/La Liga coverage...

Aye. Probably what I've missed most apart from EFL. Been to Arbroath and Alloa, loved both. Amazing grounds, good entertainment. The whole culture around it is good too, from the train in to getting given spare tickets, talking shite, going round pubs after. Daniel Grey, of WSC, is very good on...

Very sorry to read that, what a thing to have to go through. I guess that would depend on whether your dad did it because of circumstances or an inherited condition? There are strong links in a number of decent studies and I know from my own and others' experiences that susceptibility, at...

Enjoyed this and very much like the concept of conducting Zoom broadcasts in a waistcoat and tie

I feel sure we have a vastly higher proportion than most clubs of players whose career immediately plummets when they leave our magic power-giving payroll. Got to be better to stick around. You'd have to put up with our fans but then you could get that back after you retire by doing a Wardy...

Vaguely remember seeing him on Hove seafront on what, in my head, was the Sunday morning before he left with a large entourage of what I assumed was advisors/family. In an uncharacteristic show of courage (almost undoubtedly driven by a catastrophic hangover), I asked him if he was plotting his...

Oh yeah, that was a book I meant to mention (sorry to wang on in this otherwise admirable thread.) Van der Kolk's The Body Keeps the Score. Can't imagine there are many who haven't heard of it by now, but worth repeating...

I (disclaimer: an idiot) would do one session at the speed and distance and one quicker session a week at half the distance at max-ish effort. One 10-miler, aiming to finish in 85ish. One five-miler split anyway you like. Maybe: 0.5k warm-up; 2k (two-minute rest); 3x1k (90-second rest in...

Nice one. That's mint about your sons. If any use... Four Direction: https://mankindprojectuki.org/calendar/four-directions-menscircle-j9wne-jykjy GIve us a Shout (bit of a hidden gem in my ****wit opinion): https://giveusashout.org/get-help/ Magnificent Man...

That's the thing, in't it? There are a few incontinently compulsive psychopaths (Leon Knight, Joey Barton) who can't help it. Not sure he's one of those. Tabloids pay people to monitor this sort of thing for stories and we have a million hysterical fans on Twitter. Surprised he can be bothered...

Mega respect. Especially for reducing citalopram dose, which is like putting yer balls in a blender. Chuffed you got through it

Apologies if this isn't directly related, but Magnificent Men are running a discussion and live q&a on the importance of men's groups today at 3pm. It's here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MagnificentManProject The group is really worth joining anyway, in my imbecillic opinion. Sharing and...

These are brilliant, thanks. New Maxïmo Park album out this week. On course to make number one ahead of Alice Cooper. Thinking of singing the chorus to this to my missus each time she asks me why I can't act like a functional human being/excommunicate myself from NSC/Albion...

Wonder if there's going to be more reluctance from governments to bid and plan for major events, given environmental breakdown and the probability of further crises like pandemics...

First-year students are definitely the most non-at-risk people I've felt sorry for. Loved halls but they're a glorified meeting point. Spend longer than a few hours in there with people and it essentially becomes the Big Brother house. Anyone who didn't get forcibly told to take a year out...

Anyone who knows anything about emotional intelligence - I, a buffoon, have read half a book on it, because I thought it was vaguely interesting - will know that a man qualified in it is not going to come out and blow his lid. It's about managing your emotions rather than being swayed like a...

Good plan m8. Lots of hype but can't do it when it counts on a mild Friday afternoon at Lancing. I'm gonna write to Barber
