"Do you think Roberto going "full Poyet" has enhanced or diminished our chances to finish the season strongly?"

Having been in the Alfriston doctor's surgery on Monday, it's clear that there are swathes of people entirely taken in by Tory war-mongering. "I moved down here in the 70s because London has become like a third world country. I haven't been back in years because it's even worse now" was pretty...

You're right, of course, but outside the Premier League sustainability is a massive issue and once you get relegated, the sudden drop in finances can smash a club sideways. I think Paul Barber said it best (paraphrased): "Only in football would people argue about being able to be allowed to lose...

Sorry, just a minor correction. You can't have an injury that doesn't rule you out "for the rest of the season"

Looking at Brighton Bubble, originally they started it doing it so it was easier for Brighton fans to see rumours. I think you're way overcomplicating how much effort they put into this. It may not interest you (or me for that matter), but loads of fans do want a simple place to easily get...

That may be the case, but when you break it down he was at Sassuolo for 3 years, a decent stint, only left Shakhtar because of the war, left Palermo (14 managers in 8 years) because their owner sacks everyone and Benevento go through on average a manager a year too. On paper, 7 clubs in 10...

In fairness, neither have ever said that they're posting these as facts. Both accounts are mainly just centralising rumours in one place. All you need to do is look at the sauce to know if it's serious or not. This one is notorious spam site "Caught Offside", so I'd file this one under "nonsense"

I'm a solid 7, in as much as I have high hopes for next season and the summer (9) but literally only check the scores at the moment to see by how many we lost (5). I'm apathetic with a positive outlook.

I think I'm at the stage where I think why sell a player we only just bought for £25m when Chelsea (or someone else) will pay £75m+ at the end of next season. We paid £25m for potential already. Do I think he's added £30m in value this season? No, however, I do think he's shown glimpses that his...

Excellent work missing the point there. Steele isn't rubbish, Steele's passing was very good, Steele played well last night. The fault was with others.

Last night was the first time in WEEKS that we tried to play the De Zerbi style, small passing triangles to try and break the press, splitting the defence with short passes to midfield etc etc. For all Verbruggen's strengths, Steele is better at that system. You can argue about his shot...

I'm not saying rotate, but we do need a stronger GK back for genuine competition longer term

Looking at the squad, I expect/hope for the following: Out: Fati, Milner, Webster, Dahoud, Alzate, Sima, Veltman (sadly) In: Specialist right back, Specialist midfield (Dewsbury-Hall/Locatelli), Rushworth promoted to compete for no.1 with Bart, perhaps Kozlowski coming in to compete in...

I keep thinking that Baleba is first edition Bissouma. Raw, physically imposing, clearly very talented, but yet to learn the more mature elements of being a top midfielder. As you say, it's using his body better and making the right decisions more regularly. Let's not forget, he's only just...

The two people in the seats I'd like to swap with in WSL. Just give up your tickets chaps. Oh, and everyone on X/Twitter

You think Tony will mutually agree to let a desirable head coach with a rumoured £13m release clause walk away in the summer? Especially when we sold more-or-less our entire midfield over the summer? I'd be surprised...

In this instance, the police are simply a tool being used by the Tory government (again) to pursue a minor misdemeanor (at best). The police don't need to know WHAT they're investigating, the Tories just need people to believe that they ARE investigating. Over the next 6 months, there will be...

I always go into the Citeh games pretty chilled. They are a ridiculous team, so I expect nothing and am pleasantly surprised if/when we do. It's a complete free hit tomorrow so if anything I can enjoy it more. In all, yes, I'll be there

You may be right, however, and this is just my observation, every single person I have interacted with on X that has a St George flag in their bio or name are on the right side of the spectrum. The evidence is simply my experience on that app. What I should have said is that it's something that...

I find that the flag's only purpose nowadays it to identify idiots. Sadly, as a symbol it's been corrupted by the right and far right into a stick with which to beat people rather that a symbol to stand beside with pride. I have no problem being English, saying I'm English, and feeling...
