We played four at the back throughout our good run when Dunk was injured and Burn started. People seemed to like our formation then.

Fair enough then, I like big Dan but if you think that he was the key to our entire play, attacking and defensive, then I can't argue with you. Clearly he must have been sold over Potters head, worrying times

I find this point of view weird. So Burn plays today, you think we'd have got a 0-0? Not sure what he'd have done about Cash's goal, can't see it myself. If he plays against Burnley we don't concede three and get a 0-0? Ok, if you say so. We're one point better off and in the same place in the...

Its never looked a bad decision and isn't. We've taken a short term hit, but it's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things

Is there going to be a level of atrocities where we do get involved militarily - maybe in the air - public opinion is really strong in support of Ukraine right now, it wouldn't be an unpopular move, at least in Europe.

I thought the WC qualifiers were run by the continental associations, ie UEFA, who decide which teams quaich for the WC. Or am I wrong and its under the auspices of FIFA?

The 'install a puppet government' end game has seemed clear for a while. But I'm starting to wonder how it can work? Ukraine seems so gripped on patriotic fervour now, one can't imagine the current army or police protecting them. How do they rule? When the Russians go home, what stops all the...

Thanks, I must read up on the Sino Soviet split in cold war, not something I was aware of

Do you know why it is that China and Russia always seem to be uneasy of each other. On the face of it they should be strong allies, Communist countries each of which didn't like the US. And yet they are rarely close to each other.

Interestingly, despite being in the top half, 9 of our last 13 games are against teams above us in the table. Or maybe that's why we're top half. Either way, plenty of tough and hopefully competitive games to look forward to over the rest of the season.

I assume a lot of their players play in Ukraine - there's no flights or any ease of movement - I'm sure they'll try but jeez

How are Ukraine going to be able to play their playoff? Their country is currently under invasion for fecks sake

The likely outcome here is regime change in Ukraine which turns it into a Belarus-type lackey of Moscow. This will of course embolden Putin which could easily lead to something similar occurring in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - which as NATO members would be a whole different ball game and...

If those two are Cheney and Kinzinger then they very much don't represent the rank and file Republicans these days

I think it works at a certain level, lower half premier league and down, but at the very highest level it takes a special all round player, like Lewandowski, Kane or Haaland, or even Jimenez and Bamford, and there are very few of those. City play without a proper striker, so do Liverpool...

No. If you replaced the Republic of Ireland with Scotland in your sentence, then you'd have a point, and then we'd be back to discussing the issue of Cuba in the 60s which we discussed on here before. There is a valid argument to consider there but circumstances are different. Personally I don't...

This is always a TV game. South Coast derby innit?!

I'm sure it's most of his calculation. Isn't Putin's biggest fear being Ceaucescu'ed through the streets?
