    It might be one of my great football pleasures that we managed to get under his skin so much. I mean, the guy has just got BACK into Real Madrid FFS, what MORE does he need in terms of football vindication? Cry some more fella!

    Yes indeed I felt he'd be good for us, however DZ seems to have other priorities and (well) I back the manager!

    I agree. Most people want the same basic things. And yes...don't get me going on SM. I think the university issue is really interesting, as it throws up the sub-discussion about society's ability to handle rigorous debate and discussion. Assumption has become a greater 'force' than ever (driven...

    Sadly, I think those general issues outlined in your last paragraph can be applied to pretty much every discussion. We are smack bang in the middle of an era where there is no middle ground. There are chaos agents who excel in grinding the gears of division via polarization, the hijackers if you...

    On a planet with billions of people, I'd say that the concern is (to put it mildly) grossly inflated. It is a potential issue which has (IMO) been magnified to perpetuate (and add to) a sense of 'fear'.

    Does Wharton's injury record concern anyone? It feels like if we want Fernandes we can get it done more easily.

    As the case may be, I was just pointing out that you said - "If the response to disagreement is to label, shame, or shout people down, it's less "marketplace of ideas" and more "Mean Girls with a postgraduate degree" I just thought it was quite funny because, well, you engaged in a bit of...

    I mean, speaking from the outside, it seemed they were just very honest about what they thought of you and your opinion. If anything, it lacked any political correctness and was hammer-blunt. At least you know where you stand with them, and don't have to pfaff about. The irony of this...

    I will speak for myself. I have heard of the game but never gone close to it in my life. I use my own eyes and my own personal judgement with players, couldn't begin to tell you about FM or FIFA or any of that gonads. Besides watching it, the only other football games I participate in involve...

    Yes. All of them are upgradable. The question I was answering was which young players I'd be prepared to keep. Considering at this point we have other option on the left who is fit, I would absolutely keep Tel for the squad. If we get Savinho, I would still keep Tel and once Odobert is fit, then...

    Indeed. I think it is fair to say RDZ was in a very different situation and did not feel he could use youth to bail us out (I'd say he was right). Why is it so hard for Frankanistas to accept he was not everything it said on the tin and also handled some stuff very badly, especially when...

    Riz Ahmed's BAIT is brilliant. A real eye-opener. He is a great writer as well as actor, and the stories he tells here are exceptionally insightful as to what it is to be a Pakistani muslim in 2026 for those of us who are not. A brave, entertaining, funny and also sad piece of work.

    I see that the 'friendly communicator' showed another side with this huge talent. And for being a great player developer, rather than guide him and nuture his natural skillset, he shoehorned him into that godawful 'style' he was trying to 'perfect'. Damage done!

    Sorry? The question doesn't make sense to me. I do have a choice. Yes. I can either sit here and grumble about something which doesn't check all my boxes, or take the overview that overall, RDZ is showing an enormous amount of ambition and being backed. I would be OK with all except Gray and...

    Are you suggesting that we should just stay away from any player represented by Mendes? I think that is unrealistic.
