Hah Gibby. He’d put in a transfer request if he was called that and be fully justified. 😆

Sounds like MGW enjoyed his round of golf and is back on Sunday. Yeah, he is likely off pens after missing v Graz. Anderson is a contender, also Igor Jesus took one and scored v Porto.

I expect MGW is fine. Just some air cover to give him a rest for a home game.

Exactly. He probably wasn’t even on the Kremlin payroll yet.

Should be a great trip. Can’t say I’ve been to Utrecht before.

Excellent! I’m just trying to work out if it’s worth staying in Utrecht or being based out of Amsterdam.

While I appreciate alleviating a shortage of driving examiners is not an overnight job, it’s a stretch to paint #2 as a noteworthy achievement.

These are 36 examiners doing one day a week, so the equivalent of ~7 extra full time examiners across the whole of the UK.

On the bright side, cancelling plans to electrify the line now means it can be announced again as exciting new investment into the region in three or four years’ time.

He’s gone up a few levels since Dyche came in.

Has there been an outbreak of foot and mouth?

I’m not sure VAR is necessary given this specific type of error rarely comes up.

However, you can see why Dyche is frustrated. The linesman is on the other side of the pitch and looking through a crowd of players.

What level of confidence is he attaching to his decision? Got to be 50/50.

Finger crossed he gets a ticket.

Our position in the Europa is now relatively healthy. We’re on 4pts from 3 games. Need another 7 from 5 to get to 11, which sent every team through last season.

Our fringe players should have enough to compete with Graz, Malmo and Utrecht, so we can focus on the league for the next 10/12 games.

Ange Postecoglou is available.

I have a feeling it’ll turn out that way whether he intends it or not.

I’m supportive of the Lib Dems on most issues.

However, identity is going digital, just like every other document we have in our lives.

Plus, arguing that costs will spiral and it’ll become a white elephant could be an argument against any initiative and result in grumpy inertia.

Nice article and analysis.

I do have to point out you are wrong to say Forest have favoured three at the back.

Nuno’s default was a four, going to a three with Morato to protect a result later on.

Only in a few games did he start with a three (Brentford away springs to mind).

Generative AI fiction. The em dashes are the tell, and ‘fire’ and ‘heated, fast’ are Americanisms you wouldn’t see over here.
