Theregulars

I don’t think anybody gives him credit when he’s correct or sticks their neck out to say good or I agree. Mildly antagonistic but quite a useful source of information.

I think the most useful thing I can say is that we fundamentally disagree on the meaning of the word “desperation”. To me this is just an unfortunate and irksome reality.

There are so many repeat explanations in these various threads re: how it’s come to this. It’s not desperation to be selling squad players / unknown quantity players to make money. Desperation would be being forced to sell multiple big name starters in order to survive or to avoid a big points deduction. At worst this is frustrating and bemusing.

Well it’s not necessarily irrelevant given that he closely covers the club, has relationships at the club and is briefed by the club.

The silence when he says something we like is always really telling IMO.

Elanga’s chant to rhythm is a dancer in the strawberry corner would also make this worthwhile

Minteh for Elanga i would do quickly if we genuinely have to sell.

😂

That’s a fine deal and an intelligent way round the seeming issues. I think if you squint hard enough you can see a great player in Anderson but it’s not too much of a hit.

I’ll always have time for Jonjo.

N-O in having cake while eating it too shocker.

Or “you will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.”

I choose to believe he made that himself over a painstaking afternoon of emo-craft.

Not one journalist or analyst prepared to ask the obvious question: “why doesn’t this pass the naked eye test?”

Of all the countries to bank on 0-0 and penalties

Where football meets Xanax

Dat middle management

I’d rather Slovenia score now, it’s what Southgate and the players deserve. This is contemptuous

England genuinely don’t try to score goals. I don’t understand.

I think it’s a nice lifestyle if you’re happy with your family and in a domestic bubble

I reckon it’s another opportunistic move - they’re obviously in an unenviable state and don’t have loads of sellable talent. I’ve no idea what represents value anymore in football so can’t comment on fees, but I repeat earlier comments made about the difficulty of finding a good striker happy to play second fiddle in a predominantly 1 striker team. Anyone we talk to knows Isak is The Guy.

Of course they can see things you can’t

They’re playing as the country feels.

The passing is unprofessional

Broadly this is great news - he's not serious. We're a much better run club.
