Wolves 1 - 3 Palace

What a great weekend to be a trout angler, perfect conditions for once. Some nice fish in the last hour of light at Rutland on Saturday night but an hour and a half on my tiny beck yesterday afternoon was the real highlight. 4 wild brown trout, the biggest about 1.5lb which is a bit of a beauty...

He could fall down a golf one. It’s to my eternal shame I’ve got a photo of me standing next to him (I could leave it at that) FOR WORK PURPOSES ONLY I STRESS in which he looks the same height as me. I’ll give him this, he’s a crafty bugger as we were in a field and before I could do likewise...

I doubt it. Listen to Micah Richards. TBH I’ve changed my mind, I no longer think it’s the officials when it comes to VAR, it is the system. The officials manage to be appalling with or without technology.

If Rish! is down a hole and there is some shovelling to do I suspect she’d very much like to fill it in.

They’re just shit. The whole blokey refereeing culture is structured for failure. If we wanted to raise the standards we should bring in better officials from overseas, shake up the chumocracy, and bin VAR other than for the objective basics. What great news that would be as I look to next...

Spurs and Newcastle please

I think it’s a good point that we’ve looked flakey when Dawson has played too. Suggests it’s coaching - though perhaps an allowance should be made for age / injury. I’m worried that we have too much to do in the market to both upgrade / replace and make additions. Both needed, even one seems...

That’ll fox them.

Weird isn’t it? This time he even mentioned playing them from the start if they are ready. Why bother? It’s going to make rock all difference to the opposition and only mildly annoy your own fans.

So… is that a back four then?

Haven’t seen the GON being talked down bit on here but would agree with you if so. On the other hand though, he very much was some kind of saviour as he literally saved us, and if it ad that easy people would be doing it every year. They’re not.

You’ve given me the ‘Mr Chinos’ on the Loper thread, so is it not Baron VON Greenback to you sir?!

I know I’m pretty much alone in thinking I’d rather he was still our manager, think he did a great job that’s dismissed way too easily (come on now!), and sniff a bit too much sour grapes in assessments of him when what he basically got the arse about with the owners, we all get the arse about...

City please
