....yay, it worked. It even replaced the image on all of my old posts. UTB
greetings @original-fat-bob No reason at all for this entry except to see if I've finally managed to add a photo to my profile. If so, it will a tri...
@plato We don’t agree that often 🙂 but I think that you have a real point here about inflexibility although it does help when you have Kante to bri...
I’ve kept off the blog for a day or so because I was really upset at the Blackpool game. There ‘s nothing worse than staying up until 2 in the morning...
Great song. I’ll hope to hear it when I tune in tonight. I totally agree with your sentiments. We all expend so much mental energy in our support of...
It's always tricky to know which games demand a back three and which a back four. You can argue either way. Playing a back three with a holding player...
@mw-in-darwin By memory, a lot of Tav's passes will have been short distance. I was thinking more of his choices that didn't end up in passes and so...
@original-fat-bob with the number of tackles that he made, it probably wasn’t much of a risk.
...I should add that Dijksteel had a better game. He seems much more comfortable at right back where he doesn't need to get forward and support the at...
@original-fat-bob I wouldn't say that it was a particularly good performance but for me the main positive is that they played as if they didn't real...
@original-fat-bob Nothing wrong with those two signings. utb
I think that the idea of putting Tavernier at left back is an elegant solution that immediately creates a potentially exciting combo with Jones and ma...
What’s happened to McNair?
Hard to pick a formation but with Bola not fit it’s the team that we would all expect and an impressive bench. It doesn’t look like a back four beca...
Great intro @ofb According to the report in the Gazette, Coventry play with wingbacks, two men up front with one behind and a deep-lying Brazilian p...
@original-fat-bob I couldn’t agree more. How can the FA be going after him for something that he posted so long ago when he was just a fourteen year...
@k-p-in-spain you’re probably right but it feels like the same universe.
@ken There’s always the Solheim cup as well this weekend. I have to admit that I get more fun out of watching the top women because they hit it abou...
It’s all very well for the Gazette to put up lists of free agents as if it was some kind of footballer discount supermarket but why should we think th...
@original-fat-bob perfect. so do we actually know what has happened. Has he gone? By the way, I have a good friend who is a fanatical Ipswich su...
I think @deleriad sums it up pretty well. Reading the Gazette's summing up of the window, they do make good point in underlining the clear split betw...
@original-fat-bob totally agree. He is a young player who can fill in various positions at a reasonably low cost. Maybe, like Coulson, Warnock just ...
@original-fat-bob Fingers crossed.
@original-fat-bob just saw this online. Hope that it’s not true “…..the latest in a string of Rennes players set to leave the club according to Ou...
@werdermouth i think that the viewer brings their inbuilt predilection for one position or the other and adapts the facts to fit this. I tend to the...
I hope it’s true 🙂 but on a serious note, I’d like to see MFC have a serious go at building a strong women’s team. They do so much in the community a...
....presumably with a few bottles of champagne. I'm not sure what Teesside has to offer to compare with Reims. UTB
@andy-r you may be right about the release clause but either way it was an excellent piece of business for the club and I remember that there were p...
How much did we pay Villa for Traore? I’ve never seen the figure confirmed only the 14 million release clause. utb
@jarkko Fair point. If he is back healthy and training properly then it is less of a risk. It would be similar to picking up Watmore or Bamba. Maybe...
