    Lack of trust + insatiable need for speed = disaster

    Looking at many of the stories currently reverberating around our planet, it has struck me that the way public trust in communities such as science and law enforcement has been eroded (and the way in which agitators continue to widen the chasms) is actually terrifying if you ponder it for too...

    What point have I missed? Yours? Oh, apologies, I was unclear there was only one point to be made... ...what proof do you actually have that covid was 100% a lab leak? You speak of it as though it is proven. Look, I might well have missed that proof somewhere, so if I have, please, educate me...

    It was (as I remember it at the time) because after his injury Poch said he was overweight and Toby disagreed. I know the fact he wouldn't sign a new contract was one reason Poch wanted him sold, ditto Eriksen.

    I think that's a really fair appraisal.

    Now you say it you're right, Mourinho did sniff...Dier soon after that? Or was that before?

    I believe Toby was overrated (not world class) and instead prospered from a very smart partner and robust system/manager who played people to the best of their abilities. I don't recall Barca, RM or even Man U coming in for him. I DO recall Poch denying Dier a move to Man U who were prepared to...

    You are absolutely right re: me and Ange TBH...I think the scars of Frank made Ange seem a lot longer ago, so yup, well-called. So many factors affect a player's success, especially foreign players. Sonny was not only a decent fit but a prodigiously hard worker with quite possibly the best...

    Tell me, when was the last time a side won the title without a great manager (Leicester are the outlier)? And who is saying we are 'stacked' with world class players? The only complaint I ever have in these situations are the managers who consistently fudge up their careers/career management...

    And equally, there are some who like to dump on anything which might sparkle at the club ;) Interesting reading here...https://instinctive.substack.com/p/scouting-mathys-tel They got it wrong re: Frank obviously. And here...

    Absolutely. There are players who don't have much to start with and for whom stability is a magnifying glass. Now I suppose you'll want me to name a couple :cool:

    Fair enough my friend, the beauty of football lies in our differing opinions...well, some of the beauty!!!!!

    Glenn Hoddle (genius)

    Absolutely this all day. It was the direct comparison at the time wasn't it. I'll tell you what's funny to me...looking back, he was actually a lot tougher and industrious than his long legs, tight shorts and gorgeous feet suggested. I come back to that crunching tackle on Waddock in the 82 CF...

    Luca Williams-Barnett

    So help me I am!!! He's won me over for sure...albeit I suppose I can be easily won LOL????

    Glenn Hoddle (genius)

    My point was not who supplanted Glenn, more the types of player we seemed to value more.

    Yes. Scary. As I understand it, the far grerater issue are the amount of BSL - 3 labs around the place (I read it was in the thousands). I am well aware. The thing I find disconcerting here is that there is clearly aim at only one person in this whole issue. It is a witch hunt from where I'm...
