I think he's got selections wrong (witness Burn asked to cope with Leicester down the flanks) - and the amount of chopping & changing which left the team unsettled, but I agree with the OP on his coaching abilities. Under Potter, the whole squad seem to have developed their games, and we've...
Whilst I agree with the synopsis, truth is that we've not been short of chances against any of those sides (Burnley, Palace, Sheff Utd, WBA etc) - we just haven't had the clinicality to take them. I'm hopeful that with the team gelling so much better, and building in confidence up front and in...
Personally I don’t have a problem with Ashworth at all. Since he’s come in, the general quality of our signings has significantly increased and his contacts have helped us sign players such as Lamptey, Lallana and Welbeck.
I felt at the start of the season, and still do, that we finally had...
All of the franchises are effectively on life-support right now - the DfT is covering their running costs and not much more. Government will seize the opportunity to change the whole system once the pandemic's over, but I would be very surprised if this is the end of private sector involvement.

For sheer misery, I remember us losing heavily to Colchester on a weekday night in League 3 in the dark old days, early on in the season (1997ish?). It all became...
Or how about, as a less inflammatory alternative, the EU are asserting their rights, as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement (agreed and signed by a certain Mr A B deP Johnson), through the dispute mechanism agreed and set out in said agreement?
The Chamberlain reference does make sense...
Good geopolitical knowledge bro! Granit Xhaka (current Swiss captain) also comes from a Kosovan family - the Swiss took in around 200,000 during the post-Yugoslavian conflict.
UK coal mines have always been more expensive than overseas equivalents - they are typically deeper, more fractured, more difficult to mine, and people cost more. That said, the main reason for them in the first place wasn't for lovely home fires, but to power industry and electricity...
This 100% (other than the kids football bit which I can't comment on).
Dale deserves a fantastic place in our history - a great club man, always did what was asked of him (took the abuse undeservedly imo), first-choice midfielder under five Brighton managers, and made the step-up to the Prem...
