Aghehowa is the option I'd like to see us pursue. I also do rate Ramos, despite his lean spell (exacerbated by limited playing time, of course). Watkins is a non starter and Jackson's temperament means he isn't an Eddie player.

If Forest win and Villa draw, a draw is good enough for us. We'd finish above Villa and Chelsea

Surely means doubt over Trippier's ability to see out 90 minutes or would likely to have reverted to 4-3-3. Krafth not on the bench is surprising

Very poor is a harsh judgement I'd say. Wilson poor and Gordon poor off the ball, but apart from that, we played well and with heart

The pace of our full backs and wingers will hopefully put Chelsea's wingers into reverse. A lot hinges on untired relationships between Tino/Gordon and Murphy/Barnes. Maybe Gordon will start on the right for this reason.

Those complaining about lack of rotation would have been the first to complain if we'd changed a winning line up and lost

Saw the keeper off his line. Meant it.

Now Reading Marnie's All The Pretty Ones, with Mandy's Just Another Liar next on my list. Thanks too to MW Craven for advice and practical help. His latest novel, The Mercy Chair, is one I highly recommend.

Recently completed a crime writing course offered by @newwritingnorth.bsky.social and learned a huge amount, in no small part due to thoughtful feedback and encouragement received from @marnieriches.bsky.social and @mandybyattauthor.bsky.social

For sure, the process has already begun. I know many who used to attend for decades who can no longer afford to. The atmosphere is generally poor now during games. Work Flags have done well to encourage pre match atmosphere, but it's not as it used to be, for certain

Traditional fans being priced out. The atmosphere will disappear soon. What makes us special will be lost. Success may come, but for me, at too great a cost. Gain trophies. Lose your soul.
