Was it next to the locker room?

Can’t help feeling that Austrian bloke elapsed trademark nonsense was part of this … telling the Broccolis to move aside or lose the rights

Keep telling you, it’s the locker room now…

The Times has a good article on the grind of games and how injuries are blighting the product. No coincidence that most of the sides up top are those that play intense, pressing games. Add into the mix the team that does it with 18 year olds……

Surely if he loses anything, it will be the locker room? Great bounce back last night and I thought his post match interview was excellent. Always thought we would need some patience this season … luckily we have an owner with plenty of it. UTA!

I also know someone v close to Billy. If there had been a commitment towards him from the manager, it would have been a much more difficult decision. As it was, there wasn’t….

Playing Gruda was clearly a tactical move by Hurzeler to nullify Ndiaye’s threat - playing a more defensive right winger, who then slotted back into a wide right back position when we lost possession, with Veltman moving inside as a third centre-half. Presume he rates Gruda’s defensive...

Totally right, except that the result of the foul is so asymmetrical… can’t help thinking it would just encourage every attacking team to engage in all the holding nonsense even more, in the hope of the defending team being penalised. Conceding a goal kick would be well-worth risking.

Cucurella - fast becoming the second best shithouser in the prem (after Joel…)

We don’t even win the South Coast battle on that front - the ‘Portsmouth’ tune that Pompey run out to dates to the 1700s apparently. (Only know because Colin Murray was talking about it on 5Live this morning!)

It was the comment around letting them all go bust that I was referring to. That would result in major pension fund write-offs and probably make the whole UK’s infrastructure market uninvestable. There is no doubt that Thames’s equity is now worthless - there will need to be a restructuring...

Those institutions are mainly yours and my pension funds. For example, the biggest write offs in Thames Water (equity valued at £0 now) have been in the books of USS (university employee pension schemes), Omers (Ontario municipal workers pensions) and BT Hermes (BT pensioners). These aren’t...

We can also carry the profits forward from last year … there’s no question Tony and Paul know what they are doing here. Pushing their financial advantage when others in the league are under the cosh

I agree. Just wait until injuries and suspensions kick in, we will be pleased to have him then.

Funny, Watford fans said the same about Joao…
