They should atleast consider merging WC and European qualifications. If you qualify for one you qualify for the other. It would mean one or other qualification was 3 years out of date. And effectively can half the international football program outside of Finals tournaments. I just don't think this would fly. Exactly, look at Italy. Won the Euro's then didn't qualify for the World Cup.

I've started to take a bit of interest in WWE again this year but I just can't get fully in to it. The production is just too glitzy. The ring posts, boards etc all filled with shiny LED light displays. Sometimes less is more and when you look back to the Attitude era & ruthless aggression era, this was genuinely the case. I'm also pissed off they didn't bring Rikishi back to sort out the Bloodline/Jey vs Jimmy storyline out. A good old fashioned banging of the heads together by their legend father would've been brilliant. Looking forward to Cody gaining the title although will be sad to see Seth lose it as seems is possible due to his struggles with injury. I'm not convinced LA Knight will get a title run and if he does it won't last long. Seths back is a work, surely? Haha anyways, Cody is beating Roman at Wrestlemania 40. I've read somewhere that it's both, think there's been talk about him eventually having to work a reduced schedule. Could be bullshit and I hope it is because he's class.

The route I get is fine. The trains between Stoke and Crewe and then Crewe to Sandbach are generally on time and it works fine. I’m Stoke to Crewe and back every day. My point stands I used to do Longton/Blythe to Warrington (via Crewe) and it was a fucking shambles. The train from Warrington to Crewe that comes down from Scotland was never on time, could be 2 mins, 5 mins or 20 mins but it was never on time. When you're out the house at 7am and not getting in til 8pm if everything runs smoothly, the day was long enough without delays meaning missed connections! Had some nightmare days at times doing that commute. Am I right in thinking the Derby > Crewe line axed that first train post covid? so now the first train from Longton would be 8.30ish instead of 7.30ish?

Junho actually works hard and gets stuck in, probably more than DJ.
Hopefully he's just easing him in gently and will soon be one of the first names on the teamsheet. I genuinely believe he can be the difference that takes us from mid table mediocrity to pushing for the play offs.
He has a serious look of the Bojans about him always playing on the half turn and looking to make things happen.

The key to us this season, will be when he finally lets the shackles off and play Haks or Junho as a 10 behind Mmaee, with Vidigal on the left and Campbell/Leris on the right.
If he ever has the balls to do it, we shall see.

To be fair, everyone was within their right to call him shit because frankly up until that point he had been.
Credit where credit is due, he’s stepped in and has looked a lot more dependable and hopefully this new confidence carries on until Jan without any major hiccups.
This doesn’t mean he’s a genuine no.1 but he’s covering as well as a no.2 should do currently.
I do fear that a return to previous form is only one duff shot away but keep up the good work Jack and not many will be able to complain.

Absolutely ridiculous that you have to have no fit keepers to sign an emergency loan. Instead we’ve had to call back an 18 year old who is nowhere near ready for first team action here.
After Bournemouth blatantly lied about the severity of their situation, it wouldn’t surprise me if Jack comes down with an “injury” after tomorrow, allowing us to sign an emergency loan.

I think he's made only made 4 sub appearances, apart from a cup game v lower league opposition where he played on the left. It looks like when he's been brought it was to replace their left winger. I thought he was an out and out forward player? He plays on the left of a front 3. That's where he scored all his goals for Blackburn.

You don’t cheer or clap after the last post like some of our fans do every year. The last post is followed by silence until the referees whistle, just a heads up as it gets on my nerves every year! It’s things like this that make me think we live in a simulation. How else would we manage to get it wrong every single season? It’s like people have no memories whatsoever. Unless people really are thick as mince.

But 15 fouls against us and 5 for us again.
In a game like todays.
It’s absolutely ridiculous.

Not sure I'm a fan of how AN has worded that, not exactly backing him wholeheartedly there. What's wrong with simply stating "Jack Bonham was excellent on Saturday and is our current number one" That’s a bit of a misleading sound byte which I often find is the case with Knot’s tweets. The sentinel article has the quotes in full and he goes on about how well Jack played and that gives everyone confidence

A front 3 of Haksabanovic - Leris - Vidigal would be interesting all mobile enough to do the high press and Leris ability in the air would be a threat Yeah I’d Mmaee isn’t fit this is the front 3 id start with and Junho behind. Would be a joy to watch that front 4

The more I think about it, the more I’d like to Junho given the nod as a 10 on Saturday.
DJ has been better the last three games and he’s been instrumental on the press but Saturday we’re going to have the ball for large spells. I feel Junho may be the one that could unlock a well organised Cardiff, playing in between the lines line he does picking the ball up on the half turn creating space and opportunities for the front 3

They average 37% possession away from home and that worries me. All 3 of last weeks wins came with us having less than 50%. This is the exact game AN highlighted in his post season review so hopefully he’s now got the tools to overcome it. So what you’re saying is that Alex Neil, as the manager has to figure out a way to negate their approach? He gets paid handsomely for doing just that. Otherwise what’s the point in having a manager? A tough test for sure against a side who are doing better than expected but after beating 3 promotion contenders it shouldn’t be a worry really. Probably the biggest game of the season so far for me Just that these are the types of games we’ve been notoriously bad in since relegation but hopefully with the players at our disposal now, we’ve got the tools to overcome them. I think we may see the vidigal show on sat. He’s due a goal or two.

I thing the bigger concern should be if Bonham gets injured. Then we really are in trouble as we’re left with Fielding - Isn’t he more a coach Blondy - Who by all accounts is terrible We simply have to get someone in. We’d be allowed to sign an emergency loan. Blondy hasn’t been named in the 25. It’s actually the ideal scenario imho

This football club is beyond a fucking joke. How many incompetent arse holes can we employ in a short period of time? It’s nothing to do with Stoke It's not no but it's on us that our back ups are Bonham and Fielding.

Whoever sanctioned this deal with a break clause mid season needs sacking. Not even joking, absolute incompetence. Arguably, most important position in the team and we’re left with a shit Bonham and Fielding who hasn’t played in about 7 years. Absolute shit Stoke. It's nothing to do with the loan deal. It's an FA Rule they've had to apply for.

Parent clubs can recall a keeper from a loan with 24 hours notice if they don't have 2 fit keepers in their squad. So if Randolph is injured, they can recall Travers. Which is shite because we can't sign a replacement til Jan. Premiership loan rules are different I think If this bloke is only injured for a few weeks it’s hardly a need to recall anyway Only quoting what I've been told earlier.

Last two games the foul stats: Sunderland. 17 against, 9 for. Leeds. 16 against, 11 for. I genuinely think this is evidence of a clear agenda against us as neither game reflected that. There was definitely cases again last night of fouls given against us that weren't given for us.
