I think if you gave the 2000 team the 'modern' athleticism, fitness and modern tactical awareness then clearly that team was a cut above. They went on (largely unchanged) to finish 5th in the PL and perhaps should've finished higher.
In fairness to the 2024 team, it really was an exceptional previously League 1 team that hugely overachieved thanks to an incredible modern manager and exceptional team spirit. But it was lacking the quality of e.g. Stewart, Holland, Magilton, Reuser built up over several Div 1 seasons. |

Look, it’s fine for you to have whatever views you want privately. You’re allowed to be incredibly right wing and not give £400 a year to charity if you don’t want to. But don’t try to dress it up as logical common sense that everyone relates to. |

There is just no way that one player can keep us up.
It often feels like there is a missing link, but in reality it usually involves a huge collective improvement from the entire squad, or a major change of direction as is sometimes seen with a new manager bounce (not something I'd suggest btw!!) |

I'm sure goalkeeper.com will con someone else into thinking he has the right data for them... |

Would be an excellent signing as backup for Delap and Hirst. |

You say pedantic, I say a lost decade.
It turns out that exploiting debt fears to engineer cuts in public spending does not work out quite the way small-government advocates had hoped.
Have a think about that next time you're waiting in A&E for 10 hours. |

You mean the world financial crisis...?
I'm not even going to bother debating who is more financially credible when the image of Liz Truss is still burned into my retinas so painfully. |

I think it's fairly well agreed that Cameron + Osborne's policies from 2010 after the financial crisis were essentially and unforced error.
People debate whether it was a macroeconomic error, however more than a decade later, it was clearly a social and political catastrophe. |

Though you can certainly blame the Tories for perusing austerity for 15 years, instead of investing in infrastructure when borrowing was insanely cheap. |

Even if he was only able to play on the left, do we think Jack Clarke has shown enough quality to be a consistent starter to help us stay in the Premier League? I’d suggest if he had, maybe we wouldn’t be going back for Philogene.
In combination with his versatility, huge potential, injuries to Ogbene, possibly Hutchinson and lack of fitness with Broadhead, it’s one of the most sensible and least head scratchable signings so far for me. [Post edited 9 Jan 8:47]

She is absolutely amazing, a total icon and her bravery will hopefully inspire countless generations of women who have to put up with the countless men like these. |

It may end up being a bargain. But he's just not been the same since his bad injury. Hopefully he gets back to his promise though as he was an exciting player to watch. |
