  1. Nope, I just don't write off 19yr old kids when there are mitigating circumstances to his lack of impact. I dunno if he'll make it, in all likelihood he won't, so few actually do, but his time at Hearts was disrupted by a managerial change, as was his time at Vollendam. Who knows how much those changes stymied his progress?
  2. "Kuol has not done anything wrong at Volendam, now managed by Regillio Simons, and his exit from the starting line-up is down to a change of system, not a decline in his progress. Volendam are now playing with ultra-defensive tactics and that has left Kuol out in the cold and in need of a change in scene next season."
  3. I dunno if he's shit or not. Sounds like the loaning clubs have been in a bit of turmoil and perhaps not the best place for him to grow? I'd much rather he go to a lowel league English club. Toughen up, be the best player in the squad, have to put in a shift.
  4. I think this bit is key, she's a facilitator, a deal broker. She's not the one to execute the running of an ambitious football club. That's why we've appointed people like Eales; someone with recent experience of growing a football club from the hinterlands to becoming a genuine force in their league. It's why we had appointed Ashworth, a man who, it transpires, isn't the recruitment guru. He's more the man to ensure all parts of the operation work together towards a common goal. Staveley and Ghodoussi haven't the capital to keep wup with the kind of investments required to springboard us to the next level. Nor do they have the right experience. They'll ride off into the sunset with, I assume, a very healthy payday, the well wishes of a fan base and raised renown in the field.
  5. It's not even like there aren't sufficiently capable leaders (or penalty takers) in the England squad. It would also be something Spain wouldn't expect. The Door and The Norman would expect a pretty easy day against the cinderblock, but Watkins will, at the very least, make them use some energy.
  6. It would be a brilliant way to end his tenure. He's got England further in competitions than most of the spuds that are foisted upon the English public, but he's absolutely a safety-first manager. Which would be fine if they had a limited squad, but some of the attacking talent at his disposal (and the paucity of defending talent) should mean they play more on the front-foot. Saka, Foden, Watkins, Toney, Palmer, Bellingham, Gordon, should not be hamstrung by favouring an increasingly static Harry Kane. He deserves more credit than he gets, but definitely deserves the criticism he gets.
  7. I don't doubt that a man that has lived in some privilege is in better health than the average 81yr old. But that's not a particularly high bar to clear. It certainly doesn't make a compelling case for him taking the most powerful position in the world. Let him resign for medical reasons, replace him with someone young(er) and virile, use that momentum to sweep all 50 states and return some sanity to the office of the President.
  8. ((15 steps to the fridge from the outdoor sofa + 25 steps to the outdoor privy) X 2) X 187 journeys = 15,000 steps the sub-15k step days are those where he doesn't realise in time and pops a squat onto the cherry tomato plant beside him.
  9. That's really rough mate, but even by just realising you have to stop shows you're not an idiot. Maybe take a break from work for a bit, take a bit of time to find whatever works to take genuine care of yourself?
  10. It's good, but it's no Battle Beyond the Stars
