Listening to a few UK podcasts one of the main accusations levelled at her was she never really sold a vision to the US electorate and her campaign was not bold enough. Tactically it could be argued it was similar to Labours. More aimed at avoiding mistakes and providing policy which could be...

It’s called behaving like an adult and statesmen. Sometimes you have to work with people who you don’t particularly like or respect for the greater good. The Labour government and Starmer in particular will have to swallow their pride and try and get the best outcome possible for the UK...

Half marathon today in 1:28:16 two weeks after completing the Marathon. Like an idiot I drove straight home after the marathon, which was a 2 hour drive, consequently suffered with my IT band ever since. Was ok today until the last 5/6 km so managed to plough on through. Last race next week...

The club also knew they needed another player of that ilk, hence being prepared to pay upwards of 90 million for Declan Rice and then 12 months later they still had not sourced a replacement.

I hoping this is just a blip though. I would never write this group of players off but I think they need a bit of help.

We’ve lost matches before but it does feel different this season. From 2017 - 2023 we lost matches but, bar one or two, we were far and away the better side, but slices of bad luck, poor finishing, mistakes cost us the match. This season we’ve probably deserved to lose more matches than just...

I agree I would not take any of them over Haaland but I would I take a player of a similar skillset/versatility to Jota/Gakpo as a back up striker and as an option across the front three. I think it would make the squad more balanced and versatile and give a viable back up option for Haaland...

Possibly, but it’s a huge ask from a player with so little first team football to fill that void. It might work against lesser sides but if Haaland was injured at the back end of the season and were chasing wins, I would worry we’re a bit light. As an example Arsenal have the options of...

Well I agree that is the plan because there is not another possible option. I question though how confident Pep is on this plan as like I said Haaland, besides against Spurs, has hardly had a break this season and even against the Champs lge cannon fodder the false 9 has not been utilised...

I don’t have any issues with the small squad and fully understand the arguments for it but I think that policy relies very heavily on having versatile players who can fill a number of positions. Personally I am not sure we have struck the balance this year. For example we could arguably field...

Hopefully steps up over the next couple of weeks. I don’t think he looked out of place last year in a poor Sheffield United side so should be able to perform better in a City side with better players and more possession of the ball. This is his chance so really needs to make a case for minutes.

Clearly Pep or he would have played him more, unless Pep never wanted a very good player of course.

I completely agree with you. City were a basket case of a club during Kinkladzes era. The football and physicality, of that era, was not suited to him and he probably needed a bit of tough love, but as a 21 year old, walking into a major European league, technically he is as good as anyone I...

This thread has me genuinely concerned that we are running out of things to moan about.

To make the room livable, based on UK legislation the two main points are how would you be able to get out if a fire happened in the other part of the dwelling. UK Building regs if it’s a habitable room, such as a gym, you either need to direct access out via a suitably sized window or a door or...

Brilliant mate! Well done. Like you said in your later post you felt so much better for it afterwards. Don’t forget that going forward.

Hope you get to Parkrun tomorrow mate. Looks like it’s going to be great weather. tomorrow. Running, like life, just one step after another.

Inzaghi would be my number one choice. Been successful at a huge club like Inter, handled the pressure of managing such a huge club and dealt with a very demanding media. Been successful beyond expectations, proven himself tactically adept and plays attacking football.

What about When the ball hits the goal and it’s tactical that’s Amorim?

I was living in Sydney myself at that time but, from memory, I never even heard about it or definitely would have gone. Must have been focusing on the start of the Ashes series.
