As OP says, we’ve signed a lot of young talent. De Zerbi wanted us to sign more established players. This next bit is completely speculation by me: I suspect Bloom went into his meeting with RDZ wanting to hear how he was gonna evolve the tactics to account for the weaknesses we showed last...

I really don't want Buonanotte to leave. He's got so much potential, and I think being thrown in at the deep end last season (i.e., being used more than he would have been had so many other players not been injured) will prove to have been the making of him. I think he's gonna tear up whichever...

I don't think that's been announced, has it? But it's safe to assume that we drove a hard bargain, given that this has rumbled on for a while. We obviously didn't accept whatever their first offer was. So I'm guessing it'll be at the top end of the mooted numbers. I think I saw €9 million said...

It's a really well-pitched farewell letter, that. But I imagine Potter will be thinking "was it something I said?" when he reaches this bit!

We've had his peak years, and it was an absolute privilege to see him in the stripes. Still feel sad about this though, despite the fact it's probably the best thing for everyone at this stage.

I'm guessing Ritalin, as this is exactly how I find Ritalin works for me.

This is a story I don't share very often, but one of the big reasons* I lost my Catholic faith as a child was that the story of the Tower of Babel really rankled with me. I still remember the RE class in which we were taught it. Why would God be angry that everyone could communicate? Surely...

I've just flippantly described our tactics to a colleague as "everyone's a winner winger, baby" and I'm feeling quite pleased with myself. That is all. Well except for this:

Lol this is EXACTLY how it's gonna go with me, I know it. But I've never tried any kind of diet really, and I'm quite curious to see what it would do to my symptoms. I'll give it a go after my holidays in a couple of weeks.

Incidentally, does anyone here have any experience with getting an overseas private diagnosis recognised by the NHS? I was diagnosed privately here in the Czech Republic. My session with the psychiatrist lasted three and a half hours and cost me the equivalent of about 250 quid. I'm aware that...

Ah that's interesting about diet, I've heard people say it helps but I haven't looked too far into it. From my own experience, one thing that helped me massively pre-diagnosis was working out. But in typical style, I arguably got too into it - at one point I was doing a three-hour workout four...

I'm rather similar to you, @BadFish. I was diagnosed last year at the age of 44, and a part of me feels angry that it wasn't "caught" earlier because it seems so damn obvious in hindsight. To be fair, though, my "hyper focus" is so strong when it kicks in, that I think it made me hard to catch...

Yep, he looks the business. Showed a ruthlessness that was lacking in the squad for the second half of last season.

I get why people are knocking the opposition here, but I'm not sure that's fair. This is Japan's most successful club. They've looked genuinely dangerous on the break a few times, especially in the first half. I think our boys are just making them look bad by being so good.

Ah wonderful, thanks. That's the thing about being naturally pessimistic -- you get pleasant surprises more often than disappointments :)

Forgive my ignorance here, I don't usually have much need for the club's own video services because I get a full Premier League streaming package via Canal+ here in the Czech Republic (and it works out as insanely good value compared with the UK's legit options, but that's another story). I'm...

If we're sharing reminiscences, I remember it being a really big deal in the media when Forest signed Andrea Silenzi. He was the first Italian to play in the Premier League and it was seen as significant that he was choosing to play in England rather than in Serie A, which was then considered...

This girl was clicking randomly on Google Earth until she found an ugly place in England. It took her longer than I thought it would, but when she found her ugly place, boy was it ugly. Grotesque, in fact. I'm all shaken up. I hope to never see such hideousness again.

Hm, good for him. I hope he's successful because he was great for us; but on the other hand, I can't really bring myself to hope for any part of the Boehlyverse to do well.
