I'd hesitate to call a comment silly. Clearly revolution saint has just confused the detaching head of the Japanese Nukekubi demon, with the detaching head of the French Ligue 1 Coach. I was going to say that Will is not called Head Coach for nothing, based on the demonology. But I know where everyone's mind goes here, so I won't bother. 🙂

And England left Maguire behind! Perfect to cause havoc at set pieces. Tuchel out 🙂

With Downes, BBD, Archer and Larin, we have filled the usual forward places. Not to mention any youth players deemed good enough. Exciting times ahead!

Disappointing to see any of a side doing so well leave. The rotation with Larin was good for everyone. Frustrating, because an additional cost of Spygate is now what we have to spend on a new striker. Unless we go with what we have. A few mixed emotions. Ralph's side needed help. SR smugly dismissed concerns, got played, and got us relegated. Had they sense, Stewart would never have been here. Stewart was injured when we got him, and already a risk. We then spent the next few seasons knowing we couldn't rely on his fitness, while the club relied on his fitness. He was just taking up a spot in the squad. SR brought in Downs, who was so poor that Still played Ross 3 times in 8 days, breaking him again. It's only this last spell that's reminded us of his effectiveness. Had it been more injuries, then we'd have let him go, looking back on it as a poor risk taken. Like employees on secondment, or at risk, leaving decisions can cost you those people. We were offering Ross no security on getting promotion. Had we got promotion, the club may have let him go. When his team have seen a loophole, they have used that. Both sides looking out for themselves. With his injury record, I don't begrudge Ross looking for as much as he can. The highest sum, with the most security is his priority. It may be over very quickly.

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
Holmes_and_Watson replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
I think I read that Starmer has lost 7 ministers in a month or so. Could it be that Starmer's new broom is too good? That it just can't stop sweeping? Will a tearful Starmer appear in front of No 10 to tell us the broom is out of control, like an animated Disney broom? I know I joked that the new broom was now our only weapon in the defence review. But Starmer can't unleash an endlessly sweeping broom on the world. It doesn't know foe from friend! Certainly not shadow minister from minister. -
There's the likes of Ramsdale, Sanda, Rento and of course Downs and BBD to take into account. @Over land and sea's first post in the thread is always good. It's where I learned that Sesay had been playing at left back, possibly giving us another option there.

Labour's defence review is expected to say that all kit must be biodegradable, so that decomposes along with the bodies of our losing army. -
Bloomin' Tonda. Putting pressure on Vogts like that. 🙂

Just imagine the @Matthew Le God pedantry involved in that game. His true calling as a researcher.

Having one broom to use as a weapon between all the armed forces possibly forced the Defence Secretary's hand, when he saw that as the defence plan. He clearly wasn't swayed by Starmer telling him it was, at least, a new broom. -
Does that mean we have to start calling it The Great SMO?

I look forward to Corinthian FC being crowned PL champions, following the retroactive punishments imposed across the history of football.
