Well that’s a bit narrow and recent!

All time best 11 from each region (born/raised) anyone? 1) North East 2) North West 3) Midlands 4) Greater London 5) South West 6) South East 7) East of England 8) Yorkshire 9) Scotland 10) Wales 11) Northern Ireland Who would have the best side?

Some areas/regions have many more options than others!

Sorry might have missed some context, but ‘it will make t he game even more defensive’ and ‘more like basketball’ are opposite statements. Are you saying more defensive and more boring OR higher scoring and more exciting and eitherway it is a no form you?

Here is a different place now though.

What a great reward for talent and hard work. We might have tanked our season, but he has still shone.

With a dazzling (ahem…) 1.36 pts per game over his 56 games in charge.

Find all this talk of Howe not being up to it disappointing and bizarre. He is our second best performing PL manager. This takes into account disappointments (and glorious bits) of this season. Don’t know why I am bothered, as there were also people moaning about Keegan and Robson’s ineptitudes. Look what we have all endured since. Guess I just wish people could cope with disappointment better and, to steal a quote, still overestimate the power of logic and (wrongly) assume intelligent men are rational.

Cruel to omit Kuol.

Went stay, as 65k seems reasonable. Not averse to a move though dependent what and where. A new Spurs jobby on the Arena site could be amazing.

Think I ‘achieved’ an impressive total of 2 points ? So perhaps not a bad week to miss!

? it has been a lifelong quest. I’ll keep trying ?

Doubt Murphy will go. Having reliable versatile players who are willing to, in the main, be on the bench is really important. Add to this Murphy’s positive role in the squad and he’s the next Matt R.

Didn’t watch the game but here’s the tale of the tape… . Doesn’t read like a game were you were clearly the best side. Looks like a cracking cup though. Even had an underdog victory.

Two great posts. Coaching and tactics, structure and style, if they are fit for purpose, create a solid foundation. If wrong, in general or for the opposition on the day, make a positive outcome harder. What really makes the difference between having a steady season and being an exceptional team, between competing and winning, is having high quality players who can in themselves change a game. Who can do the seemingly impossible at times. We, many of us anyway, have experienced the wonder of this with Keegan’s strengths of building the self-belief and bringing out the best in great players coupled with a ‘go out and chuck a few grenades’ style of coaching. The latter wasn’t a firm foundation for winning.

And we move on. Good.

Cov SF, revenge against Manure in final!

Well there’s the second most remarkable result of the day ?

Get the fuck in!!!

What a bloody shame for Cov. Coulda/shoulda been two up which may have been enough. Still recall that Houchen header in their final win.

He’s been great. Club captain too, I think. Was (one of the few) disappointed we missed our chance to get him.

Talk Sport (I know…) said that the reason Tino wasn’t picked for England (either squad) was due to fitness/injury. So, and let’s face it, it wouldn’t be a surprise this season, if he’s out or not risked from the start then Murphy as wing back would be the call.

Just watched Eddie’s prematch interview. He is such a good leader and man. Does look like he’s feeling the pressure a bit though. Find myself wanting a good performance for him more than for myself. Odd but true ?‍♂️

What the feck is ganning on with the Dolmio, Paully?

Only seen us win away, in person, to them once. ‘Twas unexpected then too and a cup game. That’s it. It’s all I’ve got. https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/9540480/man-city-0-2-newcastle
