I still think Bret’s 1997 is one of the best years a performer has ever had. From match quality to character work, that stretch from his return at the end of 96 to Montreal in Nov 97 was some of the best work there is, was and ever will be

History doesn’t shine well on him, as everywhere he left has gone on to do better things without him. Even Gary O’Neil got a tune out of the same Bournemouth squad he had. He may prove to be a good manager, but so far he’s only shown he can lead a strong championship team to an expected promotion

The difference is, Forest have a plan of attack. Get the ball wide and deliver for Wood or to MGW to carry the team up the pitch at pace. If you look at speed of attack, it was non-existent in Parker’s Fulham. Painstakingly so.

Mitrovic who set a championship record the season prior, and hit double figures in a relegated Prem team before that? Watching Parker’s FFC it was clear, even in the ch’ship that they had no plan of attack. Organised off the ball and hope a talented player would win the game with a magic moment

Unlucky? We scored 9 goals at home all season while he jettisoned Mitrovic in favour of Ivan Cavaleiro and then Josh Maja.

Here's a thing for you to read...

It's about time you started having opinions about things.

You could be right. Ultimately she signed a deal she’s happy with. Otherwise I’m sure she had other options and chose the one she wanted to pursue. Money might not be her prime motivator

WWE contracts often carry some incentives. Work a few extra dates, headline some shows, move some merch. She probably ends up making more overall in the long run, just not part of the guaranteed deal.

Two-tweet thread, saying what Musk did "probably wasn't a Nazi salute" and posting a Jewish Chronicle piece supporting the claim

In forthcoming years, it will become increasingly important to seek out people with the courage and clarity of mind to simply report what is directly in front of them.

But I think they do understand the effect. They just don’t care. Which is even more depressing

He is. I’d forgotten about that. Could still attempt to press high. Lukic could probably do it, but would be a departure from the more disciplined role he has played for us. He has played higher for Torino and Serbia though, and is a capable ball winner. Again, Southampton may abandon high risk B-U
