Whatever has happened at Wigan, its extremely unlikely he'll play for us again. Indeed, if he did, it'd be a worry. Not sure how long he's got on his contract with us, but hopefully from our perspective: not beyond this season!
Now when we signed him, he was hailed as a prospect and as I recall, he joined up for England training or something. To what extent his lack of progress is down to us is what needs addressing so that we tighten up on development of players.
Anyway good luvk to him as he's clearly at a crossroads in his career.
I've lived in countries where my employer has advised I have a bug-out bag ready and we've had emergency plans in place, and the government does public advisories on what to do, if! What Streeting should have said, in a downplay manner: always wise to have a few days supply on hand, just in case.
As pandemics go, Covid was a low-level one. If it were anything as virulant and had the morbidity rate of the Spanish flu pandemic, we would have been f....d! Thankfully it didn't, and we got through with delivery drivers, Zoom, and Netflix, and that's because many people were able to keep things moving. And yet, it wasn't as if we got through by use of common sense as opposed to luck in my view, and we've not come out of it better.
Wilkins' assessment above, is bang on! There are too many lazy twunts draining systems who expect their state to fund them at one end of he scale; with too many self-entitled twunts/corporations not paying tax at the other end. The middle who are/want or did work, are squeezed beyond reason.
Instead of raising retirement ages (at a time when AI will take away many jobs) so that those who are working continue to shoulder the burden; we need to approach the fiscal issues by looking at those who won't work (as opposed to those who can't) and those who don't (often through lawful means) have anywhere near their fair share of tax responsibilities.
The system, as is, cannot continue! Throw in the issues of the environment and whatever AI might bring, if we steer the ship through the choppy waters we're heading towards, I'll be amazed as I will be delighted.
Indeed, I've been saying since Covid: if we get past 2030 intact, I'll be happily surprised.
Yet to score a hattrick inside 15 minutes against a team top of the Championship! If I were Kone, I'd be a bit miffed.
That said, when Harry hangs up his boots, England will truly miss him. Humble, honest, and not a hint of sleaze or William large testicles behaviour either. Well done Harry.
If you'd offered QPR the start we've had, when Adamson came on for Kemper and us going one-down at Pompey, you'd have bitten their hand off. And if you didn't, then you'd be the biggest idiot going.
We have been superb, and at times, a joy to watch!
Long may it continue, but we should expect some sticky stuff along the road but for now: enjoy! It's effing good in parts!!
This stat says it all. Every one of United's opponents this season, has run more yards than them in the game. The only team United out-ran, was MancCity...and they were down to 10 men!!
As we know: if you don't put a shift in, you won't win games!
And yet, I cant help being reminded of the words of Kipling: '... If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same...'
Such shenanigans will only work if it doesn't inspire them in the return game, in my humble.
He inherited a mess and a few years in now, he's clearly doing a better job than his predecessors, for which we can go back many, many years. So, credit is due.
Would still like him to come across as a bit more 'fancentric' if you know what I mean. And if by dint of some miracle we got promoted, I'd also hope he wouldn't go all, premiership tourist on us.
But like many who criticised him, his methods, thus far, have yielded football that's exciting to watch despite many hurdles we have to overcome to achieve it. Well done young man!
A dozen games in, and the Nehru jacket remains in the wardrobe. He is just toying with the Championship.
Certainly some of the best footy since the Don Howe/ Gerry Francis era. Think Neil played some great stuff, but we were a class apart in the league that season and I doubt his team would have been as dominant in this league, right now.
Christ alive, Jools' has got Mben dawg, Tariq, Nico, Chair, and Buzz all out injured as well!
It's a joy to watch at times and I tell you what: I think Jools knows a player when he sees one!
