It's incredible how unprofessional it all is. It feels as though all it needs is some very clear Comms along the lines of:
Ref: Offside check requested. onfield decision is offside no goal.
VAR: Understood: reviewing offside, onfield decision is no goal.
Checking, checking
VAR: penultimate...
Ambassadors/Heads of Mission possibly but not all overseas staff. I work for the Foreign Office and currently overseas (rather not say where here) and didn't go to private school nor did many of my UK based colleagues here with me....
I agree with the craziness of these 2 games not yet being rearranged. Not sure why we couldn’t have played one of these this week the same way the Man Utd Leeds fixture was? We want to get these out the way as should we progress further in the Cup it’s just going to exacerbate the problem.
300 scouts - wow! That's an incredible network to have to keep for confidentiality and buying/securing their loyalty so they don't pass the analysis to anyone else.
I wonder how scouts are paid: a payment per scouting report? Retainer/exclusivity fee? Bonus when a player is signed and even when...
This. He had an incredible game today. Kept Antonio pretty much out the game (I know he scored) but his reading of the game is incredible. My MotM today too
Really interesting interview. Felt as though he had a lot of affection for TB enjoyed working with him and still holds the club very dear. I loved the way he spoke about the players - it came across he really cared for him. He admitted that he had too much of a say over things and it seemed to...
I'm not a frequent poster but a visit often and always enjoyed reading Lord B's contributions to any discussion. His contribution to the pursuit of Falmer was truly significant and we are all grateful for his support efforts.
He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to all who knew him.
Yep current table:
1 Middlesbrough 41 31 82
2 Brighton 42 24 81
3 Burnley 41 31 80
If Burnely lose the next three (including today) and Brighton win Vs QPR and Away at Charlton, we'd be on 87 points with two games left - 7 clear. Unlikely but you never know...
So in the last 11 seasons, only 3 teams have had more points after 19 games. And all those with >40 points have been promoted...
A long way to go but as I saw on Twitter earlier maybe we could be the #invinciguls? (Love who came up with that hashtag)
Wholeheartedly agree. I love that he set up his own goal with the ball out to Van La Parra and the power from that header was superb. Good shift son and another great celebration with the fans.
Well I for one, and it looks like many others, are extremely grateful for your data-holism I find your updates and insights really interesting and make me question how much there is online about me out there...
Why do you think the club has become more secretive? Is it the quality of the...
