    Aw, you're just being stubborn because he's making you eat a bit of humble pie. <laugh>

    I’ve said multiple times that he’s decent enough at this level but lacks physicality to be a top Champ full back or a PL one.

    As we are currently playing I’d have Roerslev, Jelert, Fellows and even Fraser ahead of him as a wing back. In a flat back four I’d have him third behind Roerslev and Jelert. Jelert a question mark but I’d say that his performance against Liverpool is a level up on anything I’ve ever seen Bree do in a Saints shirt

    Jones clearly knows how to get the best out of him so fair play, he’s not good enough in any system I’ve seen him play in at Saints. Don’t dislike the guy or anything like that, just not much good when playing under anyone but Nathan Jones

    Sheffield Wednesday have been handed a winding up petition by HMRC. Chansiri is such a ****.

    Hopefully it might force him to sell. He owns the ground so them going pop wouldn't benefit him.

    Sad news for all Wednesday fans and for football in general but I do expect them to be saved and continue on, maybe not too dissimilar to ourselves 16 years ago. As the BBC put at the end of their article ...

    "What the future holds is unclear and no fan will rejoice at the words "liquidation" being brought up. But it could mean the opportunity for a fresh start.
    Short-term pain for long-term gain, that must be the hope."

    Boro Ipswich tonight.

    Should be a decent game, Boro are winless in 3 after a brilliant start and Ipswich seem to have found their feet after a tough start.

    So how many of you like me, have no interest in international football anymore?

    In some ways I think international football is better than club football. I find the qualifiers dull from an England perspective though as it's such a formality these days.

    Actually prefer following results of smaller nations outside of tournaments.

    I’m the same, I enjoyed watching the Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland qualifiers over the last week. I barely watched any of the England ones
