I'd say he has the opposite problem. He plays too often carrying injuries

That's fair, although I would still say that working for the Leader of the Opposition was still a role in Parliament, but happy to concede the point

Just out of interest, which appointments haven't been based on competence? Other than the dreadful Peter Drury on Sky. I'm not talking about your or my opinion of competence either, I'm talking about the actual process that got these people jobs?

To all intents and purposes, she appears to have been extremely well thought of in government (Tory and Labour, alike) until the Sue Gray report, at which point certain circles turned against her (can't see why). So it's a shame that the UK government loses access to a high performing civil...

Nice use of "my wife" to pretend you're not just typing your own thoughts.

"You can't keep a good man daaaaaaaaaan"

Would you say that Hungary and Bosnia are better than Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal? Games in which he played very well in and wasn't particularly troubled pace-wise? [Edit: As @schmunk and @Coldwaltham Seagull put it before I did]

Is the "O'Reilly" you mentioned different to the "O'Reily" I mentioned and the O'Riley it should have been?

Welbeck and O'Reily both have shown that attitude, application and mindset are massive in injury rehabilitation. I genuinely believe that fitness driven as much by a player's mindset as well as their physical prowess.

World class presenter, I suspect some won't appreciate this fact until he's replaced

From the Grauniad's 10 talking points piece: Baleba brilliance the key cog for Brighton João Pedro and Matt O’Riley were the scoring heroes in Brighton’s memorable comeback against Manchester City, but it was the performance of Carlos Baleba in the second half that had home supporters purring...

Why? It's a gossip column. 90% of it is nonsense, I just thought it was relevant nonsense

"Tottenham are keen on a move for Argentine midfielder Facundo Buonanotte, 19, but will have to compete with Leicester, where he is currently on loan from Brighton" From the BBC Gossip column. Not sure Spurs or Leicester can afford him

I find it hilarious that Baleba (signed at 19 for €27m) and João Pedro (signed at 21 for £30m) could easily be seen as bargains at those prices. It's a real sign that our transfer strategy hasn't changed. We're still signing value, just maybe at different levels

I suspect they may need to perform like this for more than 40 minutes to reach that level but, agree, they were superb

I think the simplest solution for the Mings one it to go back to the old way of taking goal kicks, i.e. from the corner of the 6-yard box. I think it's totally understandable that Mings may have thought that Martinez was just kicking the ball over to him to take the GK. Either way, that is one...

The Wilf Zaha Talent list of "Almost there", "Never was" and "Could have been"

Luckily for us, I think we're in that zone now of not needing to sell and only selling for silly money. I love Ferguson and Buonanotte, and see huge potential in Minteh, Enciso and Gruda, but if someone comes in for insane money (and for those is would take insane money) I could be ok with it. I...

We haven't won anything with adults either. Something's gotta give! :ROFLMAO:

I came off it a few weeks back and it's given me hours back a week I reckon. I feel a lot less connected to Brighton news though, especially on game day. The live updates were so much more convenient on X/Twitter, but now I really don't miss it. Seeing Musk going slowly insane reminded me that I...
