Because this current system is getting us the best of the best?

Anyway it's a criminal offence and ignorance of the law isn't a defense, she should go.

I grew up with the advent of the Premier League so I have to ask; was there really more patience before football became a 24/7 thing? Were fans really willing to go months without a win? No wins in 7 (or longer) would put managers under enormous pressure in most leagues around Europe.

When I lived in Yorkshire there were people setting them off in the local park almost all year round, arseholes each and every one of them

In the same way teams that had Ronaldo and Messi in their latter years were effectively defending with 10 men, that's where we are with Salah and his goal threat isn't compensating it anymore.

Just as worrying is Slot's gone back to last year's midfield and we're still full of holes.

That last press conference showed he might be a little unhinged too

Marinakis isn't someone you'd think of as sentimental, but if it wasn't for the Greek connection would he have even considered Postecoglou? He clearly hadn't got over his Tottenham sacking, that last press conference was as bad as his ones at the end of last season.

The character was killed off too soon. Never liked how it was written either. He believed Dexter had a secret addiction problem because of the AA meetings, and then simply didn't because Deb said he was a boyscout? It would have been a secret from her too.

I don't agree with her politics, but I don't like feminists labelling her an honorary man either. Some of us have evolved since cavemen roamed the earth.

It'll soon be too hot to hold Summer tournaments in Europe anyway 🤷🏽 just stop staging them in autocratic countries you money grabbing git.

It's been on the cards since Brexit. People are not just openly racist IRL but you could see mainstream news becoming desensitized to it. Successive governments have let services go to rot and blamed immigration as the problem.

A lot of journalists/podcasters have been acting more like PR officers and influencers since Johnson was PM. Maybe that's the price of access but it's totally put me off all of them.

Gerrard should stay away if he wants to repair his reputation. Just one massive hospital pass. Take a job in the football league.

Hope you're right. There's a really good team somewhere in that group of players, just need to find it before we give ourselves too much to do.

Wouldn't be against any of your changes, but I don't think it's just the defenders making mistakes. The midfield is just too open and the defence almost have no protection. I'd play Endo with Gravenberch/Mac Allister and one of Wirtz/Szoboszlai ahead just to be solid while we sort ourselves out.

Apple did the same thing in Hong Kong; blocking police tracking apps that were there to stop them assaulting pro-democracy protesters. Apple only cares about human rights if it doesn't harm their profits.
