Guys

Can’t help but FH said he thought we played well in the first half and controlled the game. Wonder if Wieffer woke up knowing he was going to be right-back. If not, no doubt he was informed of and briefed on his role using the same clear, detailed and highly persuasive communication techniques...

Our fans are embarrassing at the best of times but guys in the north gave him so much abuse at the final whistle that in the end he responded (with a thumbs up). Nothing done even though they were making threatening gestures. He’s 21, in his first Premier League season and playing for a banter...

Exactly it

Without wanting to sound too Limmy, I worked next to him for Joshua-Franklin and it was hilarious. Could have chatted with him for days. A reverential mensch.

This is probably a reflection of my innate hippiness, but I think it would be fair for some tickets to go in a ballot because some people’s circumstances mean they can’t accumulate loads of points no matter how dedicated they are. I have almost no friends or family, a flexible job and...

The “guys” count, which was one every seven seconds in the previous episode, went up to every six seconds for the Bournemouth game (six in 36 seconds) and slowed very slightly at Newcastle (11 in 78 seconds). The former is 600 an hour, 14,400 a day or 72,000 per five-day week. The latter is...

They do

Sorry if this has been covered - I'm not bright enough to work out if there's a search function on threads - but these jabs aren't even viable as a last resort. They cause muscle wastage, which is way riskier down the line and harder to resolve, especially as you get older, than the issues they...

If this isn’t too late, Blue Canal on Via Casale will definitely sort you out. Went to Athens via San Siro last season and unexpectedly had an extremely long and glorious time in there with Dortmund fans. Staff memorably friendly. But as mentioned, if it doesn’t do the trick for you then there...

There would be no intense concern for justice if she was brown or looked like Nosferatu. The Union Jack types banging out the methinkses would be evangelically convinced if the shifts evidence had been a pattern in a vaccine, immigration or local council story.

Five "guys" in 35 seconds. That's one every seven seconds, 514 an hour, 12,343 a day or 61,714 per five-day week.

Agree, but could see us going on another run of draws in this rudderless inertia we seem to be stuck in - and a more gradual end to the experiment might take longer to fix.

A mascot would get a reaction if they said a few buzzwords about intensity and togetherness to a squad containing Baleba and £200m of attackers, picked more than one midfielder and left the rest to the senior pros to sort out. It is probably part of the problem that we have a good enough squad...

Been trying to think where Hinsh on his own in midfield will rank among our most infamous selections/tactical decisions. We almost didn’t leave the pub for the ground when we saw that. Would have been amazing if it had proved a masterstroke. Wasn’t really scrutinising tactics at the Goldstone...
