The straw man in your first sentence is painful, but worth demolishing anyway. It’s not box ticking, it’s literally done to appoint people on merit. Only morons or the wilfully unpleasant don’t get this - take your fckin pick.

Wolves 2 - 2 Brighton

Someone who works in the industry will doubtless put me in my place, but it just seems bonkers. Surely it’s the train operators squeezing the last possible drops out of the customer before they lose the farcical franchises? Same must go for the heavy handed way they are threatening court action...

Pricing for trains in this country are shocking. Even though I am a long way to the east of Wolverhampton (‘actually’!!) I have an hourly train which would work perfectly well, make the journey better for everyone and take a polluting car off the road. Just check the ticket prices for a family...

I’m more confident than last summer that we have a team management structure better placed to inform this process. However, that’s barely a bar let alone a low one, and experience should teach me not to be so optimistic. I do agree that our prospects are more fragile than plenty of people feel...

Just doesn’t seem like any other game of elite football. It’s crackers.

Rough for me, especially the first one. Just dislike VAR revisionism on fractions. Some like it, the video game era I guess. I’ve got to say it’s for no sympathy to Barca.

I look for the Barca score every time they play, but only in the hope they’ve lost as I can’t stand them. They’ve hardly had the rub of the green with decisions this evening though. Pretty rough to overturn their pen, and only in the VAR era was the Inter one a pen. And I don’t like the VAR era...

Hadn’t spotted that. Cheers. Not sure what the Spanish did to you. Came over here and took all the management jobs?

There’s only two.

Catalan.

That’s how you’re meant to do it

Nuno did it two years running before so why not again? The trick is not to appoint Bruno Lage when you get bored of being really quite good and then play play six up front in response to going behind.

I find this a bit bizarre. We’ve played 35 games and they’re sixth, so they’re sixth best. There’s no luck about it. Maybe they finish seventh, at which point they’ll be a top 7 side - IMO. Hardly an undeserved position, pretty sure their manager has a track record of doing the same thing with...

It’s astonishing isn’t it? I mean, it should be impossible to get it wrong, but they do. It’s not building a fuckin rocket, just count properly.
