Talk about swings and roundabouts: Haaland out (hurrah!), but Foden in (boo!). Hey ho, let’s hope we rediscover a bit of the old RDZ-fuelled oomph, turn Citeh over big time, and kick start our glorious charge up the table. Yeah, I know. But a man can dream.

Conside me derailed! Partly it’s about the pubs and bars which serve it, I think. Well-kept Harvey’s is surely god’s own beer, unsurpassed in its delicious goodness, a perfect, slightly floral session bitter. Less than well-kept, however, and it can be a thin, vinegary pint of murky, satanic...

f*** me - not just us!

Oh, FFS.

So that’s what causes landslides. f***ing mustelids.

Yes… them. Can’t quite put my finger on the name, just now - something about Alice, was it? Malice? I have a mental image of some random player sitting on the grass whining because he really, really wanted a penalty, and a really baffled old geezer looking on bemused. And some rather spoilt...

Once again, Occam’s razor provides us with the answer. The real difference is alphabetical. In Western cultures such as our own the alphabet is universally conceptualised as progressive and linear (think of idioms such as “from A to Z” to express an entire process from initiation to...

I still don’t understand, though: how could one be expected to know that birds, especially relatively small ones such as swifts, are flying high? It’s in precisely these circumstances that they become hard to see. And - night? That seems unrealistic to me, unless the speaker had access to...

Yeah, but he's a buzzing dynamo of energy; Potter, on the other hand... (sucks teeth, strokes beard, thinks about taking the positives from it all)

I'm good with a draw tonight and an 8-0 thrashing of that lot up the road. Enhanced by an unexpected meteor streaking in fiery splendour across the Sussex sky - and landing smack on their hoodie-clad, banner-crayoning primary school outing as they form a crocodile holding hands to walk to the...

My (uninformed) take is that RDZ will quite likely want to move on after this season anyway; we have a similar manager recruitment strategy to player recruitment, after all, and I doubt he sees us as a long-term commitment. If the Liverpool job is offered him I should imagine he’d be delighted...

Parus major, I presume?

No global following? Kind of a bleak outlook. Ide be careful what you wish for.

Absolutely f***ing inevitable.

That's the thing, isn't it - he's actually in a bit of a win-win here, so long as he trots out what the fans want to hear. Stay up and he's a hero who stood up against [insert name here], go down and he's a hero who was stabbed in the back by [insert name here]. As to Everton, I believe they...
