Apparently Lincoln didn't actually say that: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/17/remain-silent/ He did say Baz is shit and shouldn't be anywhere near the first team though.

Alex McCarthy looks set to retire. Unconfirmed, just from someone I know. Surprised the full released/retained list hasn’t been done yet.

What was it the left said? Oh yes - “it’s just buildings, they have insurance”

Five years ago they were different players. They could easily have the impacts of Walcott or Romeu on their return.

Abraham Lincoln said that it's better to keep your mouth shut and have people *think* you're a fool than open it and prove it without doubt. Just a thought for you there.

Quatermass and the pit.

I really cant work out how this will play out. Either most of the teams in League 1 will hit it long and have a striker run past RM's troublesome almost non existent defence or they'll get so bloody bored watching pass-pass-pass-pass they'll end up comotose and let a few in at the other end.

Telegraph: As UK youth unemployment soars, Keir Starmer has announced the UK Government will cover visa costs and subsidise companies hiring workers from abroad Never has a prime minister hated his own citizens as much as this wanker

I think you mean people with thinking that warrants criticism.

That's how football works, right ?

By “pussies” do you mean “people that are able to think critically”?

Leicester forums seem to think it's pretty much done on a 3+1 year deal and will be announced this week. Also on a very big wedge, if rumours are to be believed. Leicester board feel they have to word hard to 'attract' him, so they're offering top whack for Championship level, let alone L1. If so, you've got to take your hat off to him really. Given that his seven year career reads one notable success, two unmitigated disasters and a lot of mid-table mediocrity, the man is certainly gifted at talking a rich sucker out of his money.

Another senior Russian general gets his tits blown off in Moscow. How sad.

His philosophy of possession football is all he knows, he is a one trick pony and not a particularly good one. He continually repeats that he'll never change and I think that's because he's a poor coach who has no other methods. From what I've seen he's made a living out of convincing clubs that success will come from his way of playing and it's all a bit of a con. Russboy is not great at coaching possession football and just uses it as a smokescreen to make himself seem credible and talk his way into jobs - to be fair to him his snake oil salesman approach has worked and earned him a lot of money, mainly for being paid off on contracts cut short. It amazes me that he may be about to get another job in football. Fair play to him for continuing the con. Hopefully he'll take Bazunu off our hands.

Obscure

Morocco v Brazil highlights worth a watch. Comedy goalkeeping. Reminds me of a team in the not too distant past.

The opposing team can't shoot if they don't have the ball. Baz is a necessary component in the quest for 100% possession. Shot stopping isn't necessary in a modern football team.

If history has taught us anything it is that the lesson he has learned will be that he should have commited more fully to his philosophy. Or to put it in Martin terms - he wasn't brave enough.

It feels bizarre to me that someone seeking asylum can land in Dublin and literally be able to walk into the UK. But sure, I suspect it happens often.

Is it bizarre? I bet it happens all the time.

Tbh I agree, can’t say I’m greatly looking forward to seeing him back next season but last season he certainly stepped up, and that’s coming from someone who has never been a fan of his.

But one could say the same about Martin’s move to Rangers; he’s taken the dogmatic relegation, maybe he’s had a bit of time to adapt his approach. Nah.

Latin

I'm personally really looking forward to seeing Jack back in the shirt next season. What a great resurgence he had last season. If we keep our defence together this summer, we are going to be tough to score against in the new campaign.

It’s ok, you can come out from under your bed now
