I'm open to being wrong – what did you see in those 70 minutes?
Because I saw 1 in 3 passes misplaced, lost possession multiple times, and two shots over the bar. The goals WERE clinical and excellent finishes. But I'm distinguishing between taking your chances well and playing well overall. Happy to hear what I'm missing from your view of the match. |

He had an awful game up until that point. Passes astray and poor touches. Pleased for his goals which he took well but don't confuse two moments of brilliance with 70 minutes of underperforming. |

I'd also consider having Hayden do the same. When we stood off André, the friendly ghost at Pompey, he sprayed the ball around like Tom Brady on any given Sunday. Get in his face, hit him hard, early, and consistently and we'll win well. |

I went past the Arsenal youth centre last night, and they had UV lamps with purple lights on them on their pitches, as well as the usual sunlight lamps. |

Derby didn't let him play on Saturday; he had the fewest touches of a starting outfield player for Pompey. Derby played 3412 and Joe Ward covered back from midfield. |

Yep, turned 16 in July. Turned out for England U19 7 times – going to be an absolute star. |

I think we saw today just how one dimensional he is. 4 down and no subs?
No tactical changes through the half allowing us to play around them, through them, over them.
No pressure of note, just Ayew chasing like a headless chicken and no changes. When you've a talent like Monga - he's only 16- you have to give him a chance and push the opposition back. |

I get the frustration. It shows up in loads of places: supermarkets, banking, travel, even healthcare. Most people are fine with self-serve and digital because it’s faster, familiar and cheaper to run.
The pandemic accelerated it. People who never touched digital before suddenly had to. Mobile ownership went through the roof and the cost barrier dropped. For most organisations, the numbers now make the decision for them – the demand for physical processes just isn’t there at scale.
Choice matters, and I agree you should still be able to buy a paper ticket or pay cash if that’s what you want. But if the wider system - and society - has shifted, that choice comes at a real cost. Someone has to run a slower, more expensive infrastructure for a shrinking group of users.
What we’re debating isn’t whether choice is good. It’s who pays for it when society has largely moved on. |

I had this conversation with someone recently. A generation ago, people banked over the counter. Then they used the ATMs, then telephone banking, and now it's contactless. The reason is the cost savings – a bank transaction over the counter costs c.£25 for the bank to process, an ATM transaction is about 10p, a phone transaction a few pennies and an online transaction a fraction of a penny.
I used to be the assistant manager of a bank branch with 7 tills. It was reduced to 3 over time when I left The branch is now a fruit and veg shop - the customers who wanted over thjje counter service simply died off, and the demand wasn't there to justify it.
If you want the personal, face-to-face, analogue service, you have to pay for it. |

October to December 2002.
League One games against Cheltenham, Bristol City, Oldham, Wigan, Port Vale, Northampton, Luton, Cardiff, Notts Co, and Brentford. Zero wins.
Oh, and we got knocked out to Vauxhall Motors in the FA Cup too.
Truly, TRULY the worst I ever saw us play. |
