Selles bailed for a job that had a guaranteed pay-check every month - most of us would have walked out on an employer who missed payday so often long before he did.

Can anyone explain why (other than the referee was a tit) the injured PV player who received extensive treatment on the pitch didn't have to leave the pitch? I couldn't believe that either......Some of the refereeing hit a new low today. It was awful. Blatent pushes not given, and one where a PV pl...

Not quite sure how rule 3.1 (which is what Selles was done under) has to do with kicking the ball away. Was NH behaving improperly towards the officials before kicking the ball away? FA Rule E3.1 states: "A Participant shall at all times act in the best interests of the game and shall not act ...

Fits the Ian Harte mould of a signing, hopefully has the same effect as he definitely has the quality. I was thinking Salako, although I see now he was younger than I remembered when he signed for us. Still, could do a similar role - I valued Salako for his nous and game management as much as for h...

But if O'Mahony is out on international duty, who's going to score the goals?

Really easy to put together a crisis-to-Couhig doco with archive footage, talking heads, and shakey-cam footage of the exec suite, all of which would also be quite cheap to produce. Could easily be day-time filler on a dedicated sports channel like ESPN.

Was watching Liverpool last night and they had Salah marking Burn at times from corners . Must be some weird plan or another that definitely didn’t work today Isn’t that quite normal - the defenders mark the forwards and the forwards mark the defenders. I’m sure I can times when that’s come up on M...

Didn’t Selles say he dropped/changed the full-backs frequently because in the modern game it’s quite a high-intensity, so you need to refresh the players.

If it’s all about having an extra man in the middle and overloading opposition centre-backs, we should revert to the old 2-3-5 formation.

Rewatching the highlights video the club put together when MOM arrived, it was really notable how many of the goals were scored within the six-yard box. He did score a few from the edge of the box though. The last goal in particular (playing for Pompey) he was on the shoulder of the last defender, t...

Couhig said in an interview early he loved fireworks, and he does it to attract kids to the matches. Mate, if they can see the fireworks they’re already at the game, ffs.

<shrug> We live in a world of constant, vacuous hyperbole, in which everything is so exaggerated it becomes meaningless. You can't simply be pleased or happy about something, you must now be "beyond delighted". Every single match on Sky must be marketed as the most exciting match up since ...

Doyle was in the top 25 League One goalscorers last season, and hit double figures, so he’s definitely an attacking threat.

I have assumed after last season they’re being careful with Elliott, trying to bring him up to speed carefully rather than throw him in too soon and risk another long lay-off.

But also eight seasons in the Championship or League One, promoted from League One twice, once as champions. Not a bad pedigree.

And if MLS is League One standard, how would League One defences have looked against the other teams in the CWC?

Thanks. If I've read your summary correctly, Tim Dellor's explanation for the dearth of local football journalism is: "it’s tragic we don’t have that sort of thing any more but that’s the way digital media has gone." .... That was referring to the kind of coverage we used to have in local...

What surprises me the most about Earnshaw is that he is apparently a dedicated correspondent for the Reading area. I thought that Newsquest were like Reach, employing people based in regional offices to write clickbait articles that get pushed across their whole range of titles.

Would Canada being part of the commonwealth be as good as a British passport anyway? That's not the experience I recall from watching ice hockey over here - the Canadians were usually dual-UK/EU (pre-Brexit) nationals. I presume it's not a British passport/citizenship that matters here. Residency f...

Cheltenham away would suit me.
