I don't see anyone within the Tory ranks who could possibly replace Badenoch and overtake Reform in the polls. Firstly, if they boot her out this year it will be yet another leadership change, so Boris > Truss > Sunak > Badenoch > Newcomer. That will be 5 leaders in 3 years, the sort of...

Unarguably, the most appropriately-named manager in football history:

350 up, still 25 balls left. Bethell on the charge.

Sarmiento had 6 goal involvements with Ipswich in just over 700 minutes in the Championship. I think there is talent there. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. I think his time in England is up. A club like USG would be a good fit.

And there was me thinking £3m for Tariq was a bargain...

It's disappointing that with Tony's hook-ups there's no away friendlies vs USG or Hearts.

A closer look at his stats showed his Prem goal return against the Top Seven was 4 in 13, of which 3 were vs Villa and 1 vs Chelsea. Nothing against top 3 Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City in 6 games, nothing against Forest or Newcastle. With Chelsea dearth of strikers he's likely to have to play...

In a Premier League takeover, a shareholding of 25% or more in a club is considered control, according to Premier League and EFL regulations. US businessman John Textor's Eagle Football Group owns 45% of Crystal Palace and a controlling stake in Olympique Lyonnais. So, Palace will be scrambling...

Goofed up? We already had our 12 Prem goal kid prodigy in Evan Ferguson. Nobody could have foreseen his form falling off a cliff.

A horny old Scot from Loch Leven Popped in a strip club at eleven One sight of a knicker And boom went his ticker By twelve he was in Seventh Heaven

The piper's calling you to join him. It makes you wonder.

Just beat me to it!

Much as I respect him as a player and for all he has achieved, if he is in the squad then someone very talented will miss out. We'll be lucky to get 10 games out of him. I don't see any difference between where he is now and where Lallana was a year ago. Leeds is calling.

Once the season is over I always consider who is the "deadwood" that I'd like to be cut from the squad. This maybe the first time I'm struggling to see any deadwood. There's no doubt in my mind it is the best squad of players we've ever had. This means it is going to be even tougher for those...

It's easier to let it go when you average 2 Wembley trophy matches a season, rather than once in a generation event that is has been for Albion fans.

I think you do Southampton a slight disservice. In amongst the sales in the 2010s and the 3 players you mentioned they also sold Mane for £34m, Luke Shaw for £30m, Morgan Schneiderlin for £30m, Lovren for £21.6m. Then there was Chambers, Clyne, Pelle, Wanyama, Tadic, Jay Rodriguez who all for...

Another stat is over the last 3 seasons - according to Wikipedia - we've only been outside the Top 10 in 4 rounds out of 114, so that's Top 10 for 96.5% of the time for 3 years. And in 2 of those 3 seasons we were in the top half throughout the season. The only teams with a better record than...

It's good to see the posh mother finally doing some work in her hitherto indolent life - better late the never. The old fellas are quite entertaining, although in the back of my mind I think they're capable of going 'full Brexit' at any moment. The two sisters are awfully dull. As for the...

Di?

There is certainly much to be enouraged about, not least of all the contributions of the new players at the business end of the season. Wieffer, Hinsh, Gomez, MOR, Ayari, Rutter, Gruda, Minteh all improving fast. Then there are the experienced pros like Welbeck who had his highest goalscoring...
