I was squarely in the Farke Out camp after that run from Burnley to Forest, but he's shown flexibility and tactical sense, plus the performances have been better than results in games we've lost (Bournemouth, Spurs, Fulham). I'm back to Farke In, as he deserves the credit for turning this around.

They frame it as asylum seekers living high on the hog, but you click through and it turns out the people in question got arbitrarily moved to the other side of the country and the home office didn’t update their GP so they had to drive back. Layers & layers of cruelty and incompetence
This is just revolting cruelty, done to pander to racists who won't give it the time of day. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Government to ban asylum seekers from using taxis

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

Did I hear this right @thesquareball.net ?
Commentator in this game said that Kieran Trippier was thinking of reversing his England retirement. But that 'Thomas Tuchel might prefer to look at the younger ones.'

Those curses I left in invisible ink around Anfield last Saturday seem to have worked their magic. Sadly, I forgot it was a match against one of our relegation rivals.
