If thats the metric then what chance should anyone score from?

Other players have also missed massive chances.

The best finisher in the squad had an open goal and didn't score.

Gallagher confirmed on Ref watch, if Cody had scored, under the LOTG it's a goal. None of us know why, but the irrefutable fact is that Taylor has outright fucking cheated us out of 2 pts there.

News and Current Affairs / Re: MPs back smoking ban for those born after 2009

« Last post by Barneylfc∗ on Today at 12:17:20 pm »

My eldest is in year 5 and a few months ago he came home telling me all about tar in lungs.  It seems they had been shown something graphic that illustrated the impacts on the lungs of smoking.  I remember something similar when I was at secondary school and it inspired one of my mates to pack in smoking.

That said, I've not seen a young person smoking a cigarette for years and years.  It's far more common where I live - but still relatively uncommon - to see someone of that age smoking weed.  The amount of school aged kids that vape though is insane.

It's because of the flavours and design of the vapes. They're directly targeted at young people.
They should ban all non tobacco flavoured (maybe allow a menthol) vapes and have them in one ugly colour like they did with cigarette packets.

If he wants to get a move like that, he'll need to have a great season next season. Which can only be good news.

Is Tosin Adarabioyo on Edwards radar or is his agent looking for Chelsea or Spurs to get him on silly wages?

No, but lets be honest, he will be 6 months off being under serious pressure. Thats the job.

That's fair, but it's a bit different to saying top 4 is the minimum. Having such dichotomous measures of success is just unnecessary and removes the opportunity for nuance or intangibles. If he comes in, seems to get the club, starts building the team in his image, and gets us making progress, that's enough really. Hopefully that also results in something like a top 3 or 4 finish, but that's a secondary measure in the first season really.

He will not be wanted by those clubs by that age.

How old was Lewandoski when he moved to Barca?

Really good article in the Athletic from Adam Crafton, who spend a day meeting Slot and others at Feyenoord last summer. Tons of insight into Slot's managerial approach, how he works with the recruitment team etc.

Interestingly, says he tried and failed to bring a former assistant - Marino Pusic - with him to Anfield. That's because he joined Shakhtar as head coach in October and wants to stay there.

Incredibly in-depth piece that shows why he was so high up  in Edwards and Hughes' thinking. A lot of parallels with how we already operate. I'd like to think the buy-in for his approach is a lot easier at an elite PL club rather than teams like Leeds and Crystal Palace that he turned down

That's fair enough so you're not really expecting Top 4 then.

May I remind everyone we are spending next to peanuts for years now...expecting Top 4 is batshit crazy.

Our only chance is finding a massive overachiever and if Slot is that guy likelihood is he's gonna need some time.

Run contract down and then off to Barca or PSG I reckon.

He will not be wanted by those clubs by that age.
