A couple of things to add on this discussion. The Premier League clubs themselves agree whatever financial rules apply. Thus, it was the clubs who decided last year to stick with PSR rather than change to a simpler squad cost ratio measure. Further, clubs playing in European competition must comply...

Realise I left the big four Spanish clubs out of my list - probably wishful thinking: Real Madrid, Barca, Athletico and Seville. So any opening league would be rammed with likely members. The whole "will there be a European super league" thing was at a tipping point anyway, and the there a...

Not saying I think it's a good thing. It will be awful - and I'm against it. But I just think it's going to happen. Money talks more than ever.

Yeah, I do think that PSR is going to push clubs with the biggest revenues further towards a super league - even though the rules massively reinforce their financial dominance. There are just too many potential benefits for them now. And they'll use the unrestrained Saudi league as the argument for ...

All the headlines tomorrow will be about Rodgers winning against the side that discarded him - and he did play well, throwing four TDs. But you just know that the Steelers will be forced to be all about Rodgers this season, and that’s if his body holds up. They’ll have no choice, because he becomes ...

That’s the most organised I’ve seen us under a new coach since Rex Ryan back in 2008.

More than any other sports team, the Jets have an extraordinary ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory! But even though we lost 34-32 to a highly experienced Steelers team, we actually looked like an NFL team. Aaron Glenn is a serious coach. New HC, new QB, half a new squad, and a key lin...

Our kicker, 40-year-old Nick Folk, looks like he wandered into the stadium from the Boleyn pub.

Proper ale gut, and a man who should not be wearing Lycra shorts. But he just kicked a 51-yard FG.

This game has started mental. 16-10 Jets and only just into Q2.

If you can find this game, take a peek. It’s old skool smash and grab from both sides at the moment. They can’t keep up this pace.

Seen one quarter and a few plays of Aaron Glenn as Jets HC, and not even winning (10-9 down). But the Jets have a proper head coach here. We look like a team, and not just a bunch of individuals. Came out of the blocks moving the ball. This Steelers defense looks good, though. Going to be a tough ga...

Jets v Steelers Fields v Rodgers  No fucking around between these two sides. Straight into each other. 9-7 Jets after first Q. Jets straight up the middle, running the ball on opening drive for a field goal. Rodgers sacked on his opening play! Then he woke up and started hurling. Got a decent TD. Th...

I really hope I'm somewhere in earshot when you try to get that one going up West Ham!

Last night: one of the weakest England line-ups I’ve ever seen. And I went to watch Graham Taylor’s sides, with people like Andy Sinton (a left winger) playing right back. Don’t care where the England managed is from . What’s important is that they’re a good a manager who wants to get the side on th...

No surprise, or coincidence, that he’s jumped ship with the club now more than £800m in debt due to the stadium and some stunt spending to lure Frank. It is a superb stadium - wasted on those cunts, of course. But it’s going to be a financial millstone for a while. Like Ashburton Gate was for the Co...

Come on mate, you was absolutely scathing about him. Twice relegated, capped by England, none of that really matters. In terms of value, if he keeps up that form, as a free transfer it'll be one of our best. I was pretty scathing, granted. I sort of still am, as I think his reported wages are high ...

Some of them are decent squad fodder: KWP, ageing Wilson (while fit) etc. But they don’t feel like permanent starters (although, as Eerie said, KWP doesn’t need to be).     At least you've upgraded KWP from absolutely useless to decent squad player! Even though I thought he'd be a decent player fro...

Sullivan said judge him and the board at the end of the transfer window. Well, overall, I’d say it was a poor transfer window for us when we needed a strong performance from the back office. Far too much squad fodder to replace ageing squad fodder. Fernandes and Diouf might be the only nailed-on Pre...

Wilson might be a cսnt. But he’s our cսnt now. And he’s hungry and direct in a good way. How many shots did he have compared with Fullkrug?

I didn’t even mind Wilson ruining Jarrod’s greatest goal ever. He screwed it up, sure. But he’s a striker and he’s obviously still hungry for goals. Don’t blame him for wanting to put his laces through it when Jarrod took the ball across him. There hasn’t been enough “shoot first, ask questions late...

Lessons of that game. Pace. Back four. Legs in midfield. More movement upfront (Wilson is our best striker - which is a worry because of his injury record) All the things many fans have called for for months. Finally, Partridge delivers it after 20+ games.Backs against the wall for long periods. But...

Ironically, it has been a Covid-era Moyesie “sit deep then crash, bang, wallop on the break” performance.

What a difference some pace has made!

Summerville accelerated straight through them. Diouf likewise.

Even Wilson (with his dodgy hamstrings) being a bit quicker than Fullkrug has made a difference. There’s just more movement and space.

Get in!

Jarrod!

Top-class finish, that.

I do feel a bit for Fullkrug, the service is largely shit and he’s often isolated. I get wanting to keep it tight, but the balance feels a bit off. the Midfield are playing 3 yard passes to each other, we could sacrifice one of them or push Paqueta further forward.     He isn’t helping himself, tho...
