That's how I see it. There has been a slight shift change in young players coming through at big clubs, where more of them seem committed to finding a move that gets them game time, over merely ensuring they are at teh biggest club possible. Lamptey has already come here over staying at...

He's currently our 3rd choice striker, so until we get at least one other striker in, he's going nowhere. personally, I'd rather we brought in 2 before he's allowed a loan spell, because just 3 strikers worried me throughout last season. We got so lucky with injuries.

Absolutely. UEFA should call their bluff as the European Super League is a shit idea, that would be hugely boring in no time. Honestly, just picture it. 16 teams in one division. Because they've had to resign from their National Leagues, you couldn't have any promotion or relegation because...

Not "unacceptable", merely that we expect them to put the preparation of their bodies and minds at the forefront of how they live their life. It's not black and white, where you either follow the strictest of lifestyles of you don't and that means you eat burgers, chocolate and drink beer. But...

The aging demographic of the football crowds. Under 15s getting taken to games with their Dad, but as they get older, into their 20s, have their own bills to pay, and Dad is certainly not taking them to football every week, the majority drift away. One day, football will wake up and see the...

We are at a level now, where I think we can expect a better level of professionalism from our players than to see such antics and dismiss it as "young lads letting off steam." These guys are being paid eye-watering sums of money, for their physical abilities, and as such they should be treating...

I would imagine that Potter sees him as someone who could full in at full back for the last half hour after we take off whoever started there.

Ah-ha, that does make more sense. Thanks.

Not heard it as "in the bin" but have certainly heard "in the pump". As said elsewhere, I think it's very much down to the type of establishment and how busy it is. Quiet pint in your local, absolutely. Busy night in town, it's just not going to happen. If they are having to keep up who's...

What a very strange comment. Just trying to understand a modern term that I don't use because I, possibly mistakenly, believe is just an acceptable insult that can be thrown at someone, anyone who disagrees with you. If that is "over-analysing" then so be it, just trying to educate myself. :shrug:

Do you suppose they are the same people merely because you like neither? Sorry to put a fly in the ointment, but Mrs Brown's Boys is not something I enjoy, but as stated already, I did find Barrymore funny.

D'oh! that's me all confused again. The previous definition was so much clearer. So it's Tory, Brexit, foreigners, "PC gone mad", and uppity women getting above their station. Not quite sure what that last one is, but we do seem to be broadening this a bit now. Can a Labour or a leaver be a...

Dave Allen was superb, you'll get no argument with me there. Not saying Barrymore was my favourite or anywhere close, others have listed people they prefer, and I could do likewise, quite a long list actually. My point being that very few people seem to say "yeah, I thought he was quite funny"...

Every day's a school day. I hadn't noticed that "gammon" was such a precise definition. I will watch for it's usage and see if it fits with the above. Gut feel tells me it won't, but I will certainly watch out for it. Genuine question. Are you telling me that a "gammon" can only be a Tory...

Is it merely one of the latest words used against someone who has a different opinion. If I think the sky is blue today, and you say it's grey, then we can throw terms like gammon, woke, snowflake, boomer at each other until we tire of it. I'm deliberately picking something placid like the sky...

Sadly it relies almost entirely on physical evidence, which must be long gone now - would love to be wrong - as it always appeared that Barrymore himself was in such a mess with drink and drugs, that he could very well have no idea what happened that night. If those were the circles he was...

No saying this is the case with the OP, but there does seem to have been a lot of re-writing of opinions when it comes to Barrymore. He was huge, incredibly popular, and yet since the awful night that played out at his house, and the tragic death/murder of Stuart Lubbock(?) almost everyone seems...

Are you suggesting we should be worried about a Chinese rogue abusing an opportunity to enter us through our back door?

The only "security risk" appears to really be a Trump trade war with China, so if the concerns are reliant on Donald providing accurate information, and erm, not just lying, then they are not concerns that will lose me any sleep.

Minor op, to have a blood clot removed. Shouldn't keep him out for long, so those of us hoping to see a more solid defensive partnership, and more clean sheets, need not be upset for long. Selection policy permitting of course.
