“In war the first principle is to disobey orders. Any fool can obey an order." Admiral Sir Jacky Fisher, after the Battle of the Dogger Bank, 1915

A solution in search of a problem.

Wonder if their supporters feel the same way...

Feel a bit bad, actually. St. Pauli is, spiritually I felt, something of a sister club, especially during the Falmer for All era - and we did something of a Chelsea on them. But only a bit bad. They're in 1.Bundesliga now, and we're in the EPL now, and business is business.

Must be foreign. Must have/be flair. Have 'passion'. (i,e, a nutter). (NB may be the same as previous) Come from a big club. Very expensive. Negotiable: Ex-player everyone has heard of. Name with either too many vowels, or too many consonants. (Warren Aspinall Factor)

Apart from the roads. And the aqueducts. And the almost universal peace?

Presumably what they need to hear is "Find the sovereign wealth fund of a petrostate, and sell the club. Or some Yanks. Otherwise we're doomed."

The "Real Club" curse rears its head again... There are only six Real Clubs in the PL, and this divinely-ordered state of affairs cannot long be mucked around with without divine retribution.

It depends. Would being in the Championship stop the whinging?

Not sure how this is an American problem, and not a more universal one. Certainly a Westminster-style system isn't free from the same phenomenon.

If the BBC are right, De Zerbi can't piss off to Barcelona -- they can't afford him.

Got to be better than another Liverpool stalwart of the era - one Sami Hyypiaä.

In Cornwall, with the palm trees no less... Shocking that we've had the plows out here once, for less than 2", and the sanders (or 'gritters') out maybe two more times, and it's the first of December. This in a corner of the world known for its winters.
