Much closer to the side that should’ve played against Fulham. Hopefully Ferguson gets his second of the season for us.

A splurge is defined as the act of spending money freely or extravagantly. For all your posturing, you’ve picked a strange part of my post to single out. Whether you appreciate it or not, a £200m spend by one club is absolutely huge, and by far and away our biggest ever outlay. If that doesn’t...

I assume you didn’t read the posts that led to that post. If you had, you’d have seen that I questioned the poster who said that Weir was an upgrade on Ashworth. Given that, the point isn’t that I lack patience with Weir, rather that based on what I’ve seen so far, the splurge of £200m by Weir...

He got the role at the FA on account of doing the same job he did for us, but for WBA. Being pedantic about his job title doesn’t prove your point particularly. The fact is he was very well known prior to joining us. He was the coup for us at the time, not the other way around, no matter what...

What would you call spending £200m and not really upgrading your first team?

I’m not sure I agree with that. I think he was a really well known, established name before he joined us. He did a good job for us, and that always helps, but we didn’t turn him into one of the most sought after SDs… he was already there. We were just another name on his CV, and offered...

I’d say, based on what we’ve seen from the summer splurge on players, it’s a bit jump to suggest Weir’s an upgrade.

Ashworth had a very good reputation prior to joining us through his work with WBA and England. It was seen as a real coup for us to get him at the time, not the other way around.

I think that’s a big statement. Based on what?

But he’s good with the kids. Or something. Experience, bladdy blah.

I’ve read this a few times. What do you find unbelievable about her?

Whilst on the face of it I agree, I think you’re trying to make a grey issue into a black and white one, and forgetting the nuance. It’s pretty much common knowledge the kid had glandular fever last year. Anyone who knows anyone that’s had it knows that that’s a year of being at 50% at best...

I think it’s so hard to judge anyone who’s had so few minutes over the past 12 months. Something’s clearly not been right, but I think the instincts are still there. It’s just a case of playing regularly enough to get those instincts fine tuned. Given our options, I suspect that’ll happen...

It’s a good measure of how much certain people in society hold over our media.

Something we can agree on 👌

It doesn’t help that it takes him 5 minutes to make each of those passes, and he struggles most to make them when under any pressure. Honestly, I hope he improves. But people are kidding themselves if they think last night was some fantastic turning point. He was, at best, bang average...

All 3 of the main midfield players were poor. But only one of the scored the equaliser.

That isn’t the issue is it. The issue is that he’s had such representation for years, despite only becoming an MP for the first time this year.

He’s clearly not the least of our worries based on his start here. Last night was his best performance, but he was still well below the required level. Time and time again they eased through our midfield like they weren’t there, often with Baleba being the only one trying to stop them. Again...

How?
