I had a quick scan after you said that, and he's only completed 90 mins once in his entire 80-game career (including international, PL2, FA CUP, Championship loans, League Cup etc). I don't know if it's injury related though. In his first two PL seasons, he had 35+ games out with knee and...

Fallout: New Vegas is up there with one of my absolute favourite games of all time.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Watching Brighton 1 -2 Everton and decrying the whole sport is like watching Burnley 1 - 1 Brighton and saying men's football is crap. The fact is, the two teams on display aren't very good teams. It's really as simple as that. If you happened to watch any of...

If there's one word I don't associate with top "top clubs", it's "passion". City being a prime example. Also, I think that the relationship between a club and it's fans becomes cooler the less the club needs it's fans. The top 6 are independently wealthy (as are a huge volume of the PL) and as...

Although I agree, what's been weird about us is that we've had complete positions wiped out. Full back, for instance, we had Veltman, Estupinan, Lamptey, Milner and Igor ALL out as the same time and were forced to play central midfielders at RB and LB for a number of games. Wingers too. There...

I haven't trawled through this whole thread but, if it hasn't been mentioned, the Maradona documentary is an astounding watch. The guy was swamped every day of his professional life by fans, hangers on, chancers and mobsters. It's a miracle he managed to be the player he was with all the noise...

I caught some of her interview on the Newscast pod this morning and one thing is crystal clear, the women has bullet-proof, iron-clad confidence in a) herself and b) her believe that she is 100% blame-free for the fiasco that was her tenure as PM. It was actually a remarkable example of a...

This in spades. All this "De Zerbi doesn't know if his ambitions will be matched" is complete tosh. Nothing that has happened since he arrived is a surprise to anyone who's listened to Tony or PBOBE, even Caicedo and Mac Allister leaving in the same window. We ALL knew they were going from...

In the main, I agree although I actually thought Fati and Buonanotte looked pretty decent today, I'm not really sure what Buonanotte has done to be dropped from the staring eleven either. He's only started 2 of the last 6

The difference is that he has something to play for and the rest are drifting towards the summer break in their beach gear

That was essentially a Verbruggen O.G with a Baleba assist. Not directed at these two specifically, but today's performance smacked of a team that's on the beach. You'd never guess that one team was still in with a shot for Europe and the other fighting to stay up. The whole game was a tepid...

Agree. We needs a specialist RB and LB to come in this summer IMO

I may be misreading it, but simply typing into Google "Starmer" and "ceasefire" immediately brings up his repeated comments on a ceasefire being necessary, and there's a statement on the Labour website that clearly a) condemns the violence and b) again calls for a ceasefire.

Why? He's 19, hasn't played in Europe, doesn't speak the language yet, only actually has 25 career appearances under his belt at club level. Compared to Enciso and Buonanotte, who took 6 months to get a proper run in the team after a bedding in period. I'm not saying he's not ready as such...

I keep being told that he's "unpopular" but it doesn't appear to be the case in any measurable way. Is he perfect? No. Am I in favour of all of his policy decisions? No. On balance am I in agreement with his views on things? Yes. Is he a safe pair of hands? Probably. Is he better that any of...

Couldn't agree more. This series already seems better on account of it not being simply one long drive from one side of Canada to the other

Oh yes, because "the media" in this county is SO pro-Labour currently....

Do we have to quote ourselves every time someone else posts a similar comment now? Is that why your post count is so high?

As a slight change to the topic, there's a new Death in Paradise spin-off being set in Australia in production with a female lead. The Daily Mail's headline is the hilariously misleading "Death in Paradise confirms show's FIRST ever lead female detective - following Ralph Little's emotional...

Couldn't agree more. So often video game adaptations are genuinely awful, sometimes "okay", usually divisive and very, very occasionally good. This is SO good. What I love about the games is that they have such a distinct feel about them, from the 50s-style tech, to the music, to the wasteland...
