Social media is lost, yanks reporting that on Intagram today if you search #democrats you get no results, if you search #republican you get shitloads.

The problem is that now, the right (far right) own the information space, lies are the new truth, look at the pitiful coverage of Musk's "weird hand gesture". We're fucked.

I wouldn't be so sure, poultry and dairy industry over there is aflame with bird flu, with the growing madness for raw milk anything could happen. Already been two fatalities in farm workers, if it mutates to human to human transmission..................

The Independent called it a "strange salute" the fucking cowards.

He is like. Apartheid supporting 100% Afrikaner nazi. He's also the rest of your sentence too.

Erm......WTF https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lg74qw7q5x2n

Read something last week where he (Murphy) had asked to go out on loan, he'll probably have a recall clause.

Was it an all nighter or just a quick glory hole ?? Self Reported ✅

No-one did particularly.

Good, he needs proper game time.

If it's £15 million or thereabouts aye, I'd be ok, it was when folks were clamouring to get rid for £6-£10 mill I had severe reservations. I certainly don't agree with the second sentence, we need pace at CB way more than we need a new RW at this moment in time IMO. We do need a better/electric RW option but in summer would be fine for that. We only have one CB who is starting quality for the foreseeable future, all the others could be ready for the glue factory in 12 months.

If we got an offer around £15 mill, I'd be ok with it IF that was reinvested at RCB (with pace) because that's a major need, now and into the future, but it does leave us relying on Burn next season as Botman back up and god forbid he has to be Hall's back up too, he's already slow. We also need a viable RB back up, that could possibly be Krafth if he's extended. Our fullbacks are incredibly young, and talented, and we're hopefully set for the next decade, so getting someone to come and be a back-up who will (hopefully) rarely play is not going to be easy, and I can't realistically see anyone beating Hall/Tino out. That's the thing with Kelly that makes me hesitant, we need viable back-ups going forward and he could be that for 2 positions, our current back-ups are getting very old in footballer terms, Kelly's not.

Aye, you disrupt the right side of your defence because the left side is in trouble, no, you play Kelly.

My point is about beyond this season though.

Tino FFS, he's first choice RB, who plays there ?? (Tripps will be away next season, if not this window)

Our #1 need (alongside RW) is someone to push Schar down the pecking order not a youngster to push him, a youngster to usurp him is what we need. I'm saying flogging Kelly now is stupid from a squad depth perspective, not for today but going forward, we're fucking ancient at CB. We're creating another hole to fill when we have other holes WAY more important.

There are 2 centre back positions that require depth, Left and Right CB, Kelly is a left sided defender and currently 3rd choice LCB, behind Burn and Botman, we are terribly exposed at RCB. Kelly is also 3rd choice LB (IF Targett is fit, 2nd if not). Schar will never be in the conversation to play LCB. Krafth would get the nod at RCB as he's right footed, Kelly would likewise get the nod on the left. Next season Targett will likely be gone so Kelly will likely be 2nd choice LB - he should also be ahead of Burn as he'll be another year older and even slower. It's quite simple really - Sell him and we'll have to replace him in the summer to avoid all getting old together.

Big Joe went RW and Willock went central I thought 🤷‍♂️

The way we were playing (or not playing if you prefer) he'd never have got on the ball even if he was available.

He's surely fair dinkum fucked now

First 5 minutes, Hall looked like vintage Mark Stimson, was just a portent of what was to come.

Every one of them, bar Tonali in patches, was completely "off it", using all five subs and changing it up wouldn't have lifted the rest of them, especially as we haven't got like for like quality on the bench. You can change it up or tactically tweak it if one or two are off the boil, but you can't cater for, or fix it, for eleven of the fuckers. Was a bad day, we'll get over it.

I didn't bring it up, I was responding to a post that criticised Dubravka and which also mentioned Pope 🤣
