My opinions mean nothing mate.   Far more clever people are saying this or puting out the data than me.

Think we found the founder of your fan club Samie, he's member number zero.

Brilliant show. Binged it all yesterday after finding out I didn't have to wait until Thursday for Disney+ to show it 

Wasn't a fan of Cosmo Jarvis at all in the beginning but he grew on me and by the end I thought he was great.

I think Jarvis played it brilliant and more to point his casting...at first I though he looked stiff and awkward but soon released his castings perfectly put in context his ( at first) boorish uncouth character in contrast to the sensibilities of the Japanese culture.

I also liked he was off centre to the whole story, letting the engrossing Japanese drama unfold.

So the PGMOL are refusing to make public the audio from the Forest debacle. Instead they will allow Forest to hear it in private.

If you were being cynical then that means Forest will not get a copy of the audio and so will not be able to have it forensically checked to see if it has been edited.

Brilliant footballer, everything he does looks effortless. Do think the next step is to really show it in the games against the best opposition.

Agreed on that, sublime footballer, think he will be top of the City wish-list next summer.  They'll get him too.

No problem at all with Baldness, just pointing out that the NW may be the spiritual home of bald PL managers soon, 5/5, albeit we will be losing Ten Hag and Kompany (we'd lose Dyche as well if they could afford to sack him)

Mitch McConnell has said he hopes there are no conditions on their use. Let's hope Biden takes up that offer.

I would really like to know the reasoning behind Germany's continued intransigence on providing Taurus missiles though.

There's a theory that they don't want to be the ones to supply the weapon that takes the bridge down, as that will really set Putin off. Too political.

Hoping they can speed up the development of Hrim-2 and increasing the range of the Neptune. then it can be homemade Ukrainian weapons that take it down properly.

That'd be a bit like if you were to ask Celtic fans who their best manager has been over the past 25 years and they would all say big Ange? If we were linked to him, would that have been enough for you as well? At the end of the day, these fans are watching these teams in inferior leagues where the quality of both opposition managers and players are pretty poor.

We'll just have to wait and see how it translate in the premier league when he faces a team with 11 men parked in front of their penalty box and managers with high tactical knowledge.

If you want to see the negative in everything sure, enjoy the echo chamber of doom.

Christ mate it's just a bit of nice context from a Feyenoord fan, no one said it was a deep-dive into his history and an unimpeachable review of his ability of a manager.
