Great catch Carse

Marco Rose Ruben Amorim Paulo Fonseca They were three I wanted in the immediate* aftermath. And that's the calibre we should have been after, and could have got. *As in like three days as it became very quickly apparent that Trigger was a done deal

Again it's two different things. I wouldn't have agreed but you can make the point that we'd gone stale by 2021, we were very one note, even in zero stakes games Nuno was showing little aptitude to switch things up. You've got a base there and maybe you need another man to take it on another...

Not quite true on Marco Silva, we offered him the job before we sacked Crazy Walt. His if he wanted it and he could spend whatever he wanted (if you look through this nice J Mendes catalogue above all else). He said no.

I think you're falling into the trap I sometimes fall into of thinking it's still 2001. I can get lunch from Pret for free if I'm in the office. Just order online and bill it to the company, gets delivered, no fuss. I did it on Wednesday - £6.99 for a chicken and bacon caesar baguette. Don't...

Anyone with any ounce of humility would properly take it on board. I'm sure we've all made a judgement call in the past, seen how it's gone horribly wrong and thought "crikey, I won't do that again". Not Jeff though.

It's going to be unwieldy to eat, especially in a ground with hundreds of people directly around you. I'd also be concerned that the hefty loaf would absorb the gravy quickly and you'd end up with a claggy mess as it cooled.

I suppose the difference is that if you're stupid enough to stand on a roof (where you obviously shouldn't be) and you fall through it then realistically, you carry a fair share of the blame. If you're sat in Row C at St Andrews innocently watching the silky skills of Mo Camara and a massive...

I suspect you are in the same boat as me. I fucking HATE quirky keepers. Oh isn't he random, isn't it amusing, isn't it worth it when he inexplicably pulls out a game where he's unbeatable, that makes up for all the abysmal nonsense, doesn't it? Got to be mad to be a keeper, eh? No. No it does...

It hasn't made any difference really. If we don't get a decent points haul out of the next three games then we are screwed. Forget anyone else.

Antonio involved in a road accident today, no further news as yet.

Meanwhile Russell Martin strokes his hair, stares into the middle distance and muses on how right he is.

Our mid-season managerial changes have rarely gone particularly well, Lopetegui and Colin Lee are the big outliers: 1994: Pre-Taylor: P36 W13 D14 L9; Under Taylor: P10 W4 D3 L3 1995: Pre-McGhee: P21 W5 D7 L9; Under McGhee: P25 W8 D9 L8 1998: Pre-Lee: P16 W6 D4 L6; Under Lee: P30 W13 D12 L5...

Allardyce is about as relevant as Joe Royle. He's 70 years old, hasn't managed a full season anywhere since 2014/15, and failed in his last two "firefighting" missions. He wouldn't be on anyone's list unless they'd been in a coma for a decade.

Benfica decided three months ago that Bruno Lage was better than Roger Schmidt. If that doesn't set alarm bells ringing then nothing will.

Didn't realise @Kenny had popped over for the match

I'd be getting more McLeish to Villa or Redknapp to Southampton vibes than anything else. I'd take him over Mutant Cooper but it's not much of an endorsement.

The rules are stupid though. The over rates in Adelaide were slower and nothing happened to India or Australia. Plus if you get a result miles before the scheduled close of day 5, does it really matter? That's without getting into the ridiculous nature of the table where some teams have played...
