Something I've wondered for a while now. Is there a maximum age limit on skinny, ripped jeans that come up 4 inches short of your ankles without being some kind of laughing stock? I think I can carry off the ripped bit still and even the skinny part provided it's not too extreme but 4 inches of bare ankle I'd just feel very exposed and more thsn a little awkward ! I think it's somewhere around 22 or 23 maximum ? Trust me Erik looked very stylish. Him and me chatting in Mykonos baggage claim drew quite a few admiring glances not sure though if they were for Erik or me 😀

Credit to her for her no make up, hair simply tied up on top look. Not sure she upstaged myself and Erik in the sartorial stakes though 😀

I like a jean cut Levis 511 slim not skinny style but always allow enough for either a rocker turn up or a slight ankle crumple but never ankle exposed. Yours, Gok Wan. I think you are bang on the money with that analysis !

Pieters is a better left back than Bruno and neither of them are wingbacks. Pieters appears to have had a conversation with Jones about his future, told Pieters that his long term plan was to play a wingback, they shook hands and Pieters moved on. We had no wingbacks and at the time Bruno had made no noises about moving on so he brought back Shawcross and played Bruno at left back. Bruno subsequently announced he wanted to go and Jones immediately dropped him.s It would seem to me Jones has made it clear to all the players where he wants to take the team and is prepared to let go those that either don't fit in with the diamond or who don't want to be here. Neither Pietstem to securrers nor Bruno are in his long term plans for left back. The fact that Pieters is a better (traditional) left back than Bruno is completely irrelevant. Still odd though that Jones very quickly seemed willing to make tactical ‘compromises’ all over the shop in search of a result or two but let Erik go almost instantaneously. There we’re plenty of others who should have been in the ‘Out’ door queue before our only established left back. When Jones first arrived he tried the diamond and the player who clearly didn't fit the system was Eric - who was the first to move on presumably because Jones couldn't guarantee him a future in the side. The diamond didn't work at it was then that Jones messed about with the system to steady the ship - by which time Eric had gone. The rest of the season was used by Jones to assess his options but it was too late to show anyone the door. However by the end of the season it was pretty clear some players - Woods, Fletcher, Charlie, Bojan - had no future at the club. The only difference between Eric and the rest is that he saw the writing on the wall earlier than some others and jumped (with a bit of a shove) earlier than most. I don't get the need for a conspiracy theory here. Jones wants wing backs, Eric isn't a wing back, Eric and Jones shake hands and part company. Does it have to be more complicated than that?

So the club should keep a player who the manager doesn't need just in case they sack him? How the hell could any manager operate in that situation? We really are in X Files territory here.... No they keep him signed but send him out on loan again. Lots of clubs on the continent do that, such as Real Madrid. Real Madrid aren't subject to the FFP in operation in the Championship - and the players they loan out are young, not end of career. And the idea we use Real Madrid as a model for managing our squad is frankly insane,

Or maybe you simply don't understand "lots of clubs on the continent", in which case it really is a question of your overall sanity and intelligence...

If only people realised how daft they look they would bin them!

I don't mind getting rid of Pieters, but let us bring in someone better first! I sort of felt this season was a bit comical when NJ decides to send him out on loan only to play Indi there! Indi didn't do too badly defensively, but attackingwise that really was a shit decision.

I think it's somewhere around 22 or 23 maximum ? Ripped jeans are only for poor ones. But what's worst: bare ankle when you're wearing a suit, which is the new modern standard nowadays in Sweden. I always use regular fit.

In fact I suspect he is a lot better than anyone we might buy too, higher wages, but better too.

His crosses were usually shite, but at least he was overlapping the left midfielder, Indi hardly did that at all.

Jones might want to play wingbacks but he doesn't/didn't have any and turned to Bruno and you've got to be an imbecile to rate him as a better option at left back than Pieters Pieters is a better left back than Bruno and neither of them are wingbacks. Pieters appears to have had a conversation with Jones about his future, told Pieters that his long term plan was to play a wingback, they shook hands and Pieters moved on.

The fact that Pieters is a better (traditional) left back than Bruno is completely relevant until such time as Jones actually buys a wingback if that's what he wants. Anyone who says Pieters is not better attacking than Bruno has clearly gone mad. He's not great but he's miles better than Bruno. I would have also thought with no other option it would have been better if he had stayed and NJ had tried to coach him into something more akin to what he wanted. I doubt there would have been miracles but it would surely have been better than what we had.

Overall we were no worse off for Eric going
