Respectfully disagree. His subs worked today and he deserves credit for that. But I don't consider his job fantastic. Adequate maybe But am pleased we are stringing wins together, it was necessary I’m slightly surprised at you Cjay. To me, there is no doubt that he has barely put a foot wrong so fa...

And I won't get caught up in the emotion of the moment when we go down a goal or two. Hopefully that won’t happen again this season Paul. I think we are are developing nicely and just finding our feet in this division, we are clearly one of the better teams in this league, perhaps, in due course, w...

From what I saw, 2nd half only, Norwich pressed, and hounded us as much as they could but had no answer when we got free, we were dynamite. Witness our winner - a simple goal in many ways but stealing the ball deep in our own half, one perfect pass from Rutter and Summerville’s away and unstoppable ...

I missed the 1st half so, fortunately, missed their 2 goals, managed a half decent stream 2nd half so saw our 3 goals. By all accounts, no way should we have been 2 down at half time, and so justice prevailed in the end, for once. Summerville is quietly becoming one of our most important players - w...

Another tough game today. There aren’t many easy games of course, apart from say Sheffield Weds at home and that one didn’t go according to plan did it? But we are better now than we were then and should make a decent fist of it, unless we have another off day like we did at Southampton. Come on Lee...

If the banks had reeled in liverpool as well as us, that would have been two massive clubs on the brink, they didn't , national institution was what they called the scousers and kept them afloat. The Football establishment and the London/Manchester based media took a disliking to Don Revie and his ...

As you say Elland, Sky have had plenty of time to schedule fixtures, so why don’t they do it with a couple of months in advance? When games get more and more relevant towards the back end of a season, then, perhaps, there is an excuse for leaving it to the last minute (and sod the inconvenience for ...

You have to wonder why Covid caused so much havoc for Everton but apparently doesn’t seem to have caused many/any other clubs any significant problems. Of course we all know that is just a convenient excuse for Everton’s serious mismanagement and stupidity. Being £10m or £20m over the ffp threshold ...

I would prefer us not to be firm favourites for football matches, therein lies unwanted pressure and potential ignominy. And, in any case, an away game against a team only 2 points below you in the table makes the firm description a nonsense, surely! As Ian says, it is a tough set of games coming up...

Very true, we always piss the qualifiers as one would expect when your group is say : Albania, Morocco, Scotland, Gibralter, Wales, even a poor Italy last night. It's the technical sides we struggle against, but, I'd still rather qualify than not, and I'm sure the other England hating nations would...

A solid, measured performance from England. A bit suspect defensively but didn’t panic when they went one down because they knew they were, man for man, the better team and so it played out. Some lovely individual skill from Bellingham and Foden, and great finishing from Kane and Rashford and Englan...

Power rankings are typically based on performance and statistics rather than fixed ballots. Rankings can vary depending on the criteria and data used by different organizations. It's best to review their methodology in collecting data and analysing it... just what were the parameters used to acheiv...

That is a lot of players allowed to leave on a free - does not make any financial sense. If we go up what are we going to replace them all with ? By the next summer window the available finance situation will be becoming clearer. Some of the rats will be sold to their loan clubs, the others will al...

If it’s true that Liam Cooper turned down a 2 year £4m contract then that was a big call from him. Of course money would not have been his only consideration, he’ll have his wife and young children (?) to consider and the upheaval of spending 2 years in Saudi Arabia would not have appealed I think. ...

A good win for our second eleven football team against a decent Australian team who got into the round of 16 at the last World Cup, and a gruelling, but determined victory for our rugby team against a Fiji team who had already beaten Australia earlier in the tournament - just a shame our cricket tea...

No excuse! England reserve team should be doing better than a boring 1-0 win against a tin-pot football nation. Is this the level English football is at nowadays? The answer is yes to be perfectly honest. As a kid & a young man, I used to love watching England & the home nations, not any mo...

Not the greatest spectacle, but another victory for England and effectively an England second eleven at that. I’m always happy when Leeds United win and when England win.

Forbidden corner is one of the best corners I know, check it out!

A captain needs to be on the field of play and not be missing too much with injuries or losses of form, they also need to be popular but command respect, lead by example and be vocal when needs be. Whether Struijk fits that bill i’m not sure. He’s suffered injuries in the past but he’s played every ...

Rutter is coming on beautifully, players like him make watching football more enjoyable. He’ll make mistakes once in a while, fluff easy chances from time to time, lose the ball occasionally, but he mustn’t be made to be afraid to try things because when he gets it right it can be fantastic. I’m so ...
