I’m into Hoka at the moment. I tend to wear gore Tex trainers as it’s always wet somewhere. They are stupid money new. But there’s always some dude who’s bought a pair, worn them once or twice and then puts them on eBay or Vinted. <ok>

I got some Nike waterproof trainers for £60 a couple of months ago, they’re not hoka quality but they’ve done me alright for walking the dog in wet fields etc

Managers like Ten Hag, who are tactically decent tend to have these good first seasons because the players don't need motivation. They're motivated by their desire to work for their new manager.

Now he's settled in and it's all routine, they need motivation again.

What strikes me about Ten Hag is his sheer lack of any charisma. Howe is boring too, but he is pleasant, Ten Hag is boring but seems to be unpleasant. Just a miserable overworked PE teacher.

Why would you ever go and want to play for a manager like that?

Because your paid circa £5m a year?
 
I honestly think M'Bappe could flop once he moves. The fact he's mentioned in the same sort of breath as Ronaldo and Messi and Neymar is bonkers.

On his day he’s brilliant but the Spanish league is probably the most technical in Europe and a massive step up from the French league, I think he will score lots of goals for Madrid but whether he becomes the main man and best in the world, I’m not sure

You wouldn't and they don't. Ronaldo was the warning signs of what was to come, as he said at the time, I've no respect for him, because he don't show me any.

Oh @Libby we got a new maanger btw, the guy that use to be at Cambridge, Mark Bonner.

Can't say I'm overwhelmed, but the fans seem happy and that's a good thing, he's had a promotion from L2, so will know what it's all about.
 
Don’t forget Eric Dier too

I think Madrid go through tomorrow but would love to see Kane win it

I hope Kane can do it, he's long overdue a bit of silverware, and Bellingham has **** loads of time. I think if Kane could win it, it would have made his whole move worth while, the guy just needs it to top off a great career.
