Or a fried one, followed by the pan.

Things potentially have happened like that though? Any club that employed DJ Campbell runs that risk 😅

I think the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience shows that AI has a way to go before it can overtake actual creativity.

Have you ever worked for a manager?

That’s still all better than THIS.

Sounds like the Brian Clough school of thinking. Play to your strengths and work hard, and you’ll play better. If you play better, you’ll enjoy it. If you enjoy it, you gain confidence. If you gain confidence, you stand a better chance of winning.

It counted for the crucial Hyam penalty though.

Ok he missed it (keeper knocked it onto the post) but it was a proper captain who takes the last penalty.

Nothing but pride. Fantastic match from the lads. Pot luck now boys.

Whatever the result tonight, this has been a terrific game in no small part thanks to US!

Bugger me. What a chance.

What. A. Block.

Heard that Robin Windsor died last week. One of the best dancers Britain has produced, and (along with his dance Partner Kristina Rhianoff) had the privilege of teaching me and Mrs E how to dance just after he left Strictly. A kind and generous teacher, and a big personality gone from the world of Ballroom and Latin.

The Liverpool mention had me thinking, and Adam plays like a lanky Lancy Xabi Alonso.

If you get on Richard Branson’s bad side, do you call him ‘The Virgin’?

Agreed, just an idea I’d seen that I know I’d pop for but it should stay in the past

I loved an idea (although I hope it remains only an idea) that Rock’s demands to HHH to ‘fix it’ grow their feud further. Come WM Night One, Rock gets in the ring and calls out HHH. ‘You didn’t fix it. You disrespected me as a board member, you disrespected the Bloodline, you disrespected my family. I could fire your candyass right now but why don’t you step in this ring so I can whup it instead!’ HHH: ‘Rock, as much as I’d love to step in the ring, you know I can’t. My heart issues haven’t gone away. But I figured you’ve been getting angrier as the weeks have built to this amazing event. I figured you’d call me out. I know you want a fight, but you won’t get it from me… *Glass shatters*

He’s Dickov, but without the aggression. If he can add the aggression (and I don’t mean petulance), he’ll be a bloody menace.

I think it’s half-right. I believe the club (via Broughton) have known a while that Eustace would be their man to replace JDT. Having made the decision to sell Adam Wharton (this could’ve been the night of the Wrexham game, judging by Adam’s comments), JDT may have decided to leave and the club therefore consulted Eustace. I believe (as GB has harped on about contingency planning) GB may have consulted and obtained approval from both men for the signings of Fadz, Fleck, and McGuire. The failure to sign McGuire will have annoyed both men, but without employment, Eustace was still keen on the job. Not the truth, just how I believe it has happened.

Luton with Edwards? Burnley with Dyche? Bolton and West Ham with Allardyce? Stoke with Pulis? Wigan with Jewell?

‘Like a dog with a balloon’ is perfect.

As usual, we win when we protest. It NEVER affects the players, but if it does we tend to win.

But that’s how you do succession planning. Ensuring you get a candidate of appropriate quality in quickly.

Why not? The last appointment under Waggott didn’t happen for weeks UNTIL GB appointed JDT.

I personally suspect that such a quick appointment may be exactly because of the succession planning regularly discussed by GB. IF (a big one) my suspicion is correct, GB deserves some credit.
