The longer this goes on the more it seems they're waiting for Southgate. I'm glad the decision hasn't been made while we don't have a CEO in place, cos it would mean Ratcliffe getting too involved. But it is starting to seem like they're waiting for Southgate. He worked in partnership with Ashworth...

Hi bman. Flew into Dublin, picked up a hire car and headed west. Kerry initially, including the Ring of Kerry, and then headed gradually north along the coastline. Portlaoise was fun - lots of pubs, live music and really friendly folk. Headed across to Portmagee - picturesque but not much going on....

Where'd you go? What were the highlights for you? My in-laws are making a trip to Ireland in the summer, I need suggestions for them.

Thoughts on Onana? I think he's been very good in the last few months. He's come out to claim crosses and corners and he's been instrumental in our outfield gameplay. He plays a lot of dangerous long balls. Oh and his saves have been alright. Hope the first few months were a blip. He cost us 2-3 ga...

But City will be in transition as all of these changes happen. And even though money solves problems, there'll still be some disruption. We're in the ascendency, City will be wobbling at the top trying to stabilise. So there's an opportunity for United to jump into their place, to compete for the t...

The INEOS crew are making all the right noises. 'We're putting football back at the heart of everything we do', underperforming players won't be allowed to linger for years, look for value instead of names in the market. But fuck me when you think, these are basic principles. And they've been so la...

I suppose the best thing ETH could do to improve results in the short term is to go back to counter attacking football in the mould of Ole and Jose. But we don’t have as many quick players up front as we used to (though Hojlund seems quick). And he could end up getting the sack quicker that way if ...

I don’t have a good way of regularly watching the games this season, so I haven’t been posting here much. And obviously my tactical observations aren’t worth shit at the moment. But looking at the stats, it seems to me that what the team is missing most is a goalscorer. If we had a forward who was r...

Pretty much precisely where I fall on Ratcliffe. He’s clearly a wanker (there aren’t many in his position that are squeaky clean). Especially on the Brexit thing like Bman said. Not arsed that he was for Brexit, but to then fuck off with his capital to somewhere much more economically favourable. S...
