Yeah, but the point is you need to seek it out. The slop that’s published in these papers is picked up and bellowed into people’s homes, workplaces and social feeds.

I think there's an element of risk associated with taking over a team in the relegation zone. Long term plans are probably a luxury to any manager willing to do that.

Absolutely this. Don’t really bother with the cinema anymore because everything’s the thick end of three hours long. I’m not paying to miss a chunk of the film.

Don’t think any of it’s working at the moment. We’re not defending well, not attacking well and we seem to be waiting to lose when we play away. I like the guy but I’ve come to the conclusion that someone else might as well have a go.

I’ve started being more social than I ended up being on the other place. There the lack of interaction and the constant rage-bait rendered it unusable in the end.

Justin looks quite capable but I’ve got no idea what Bornauw’s like. One of my bugbears with Farke is that he never rotates and never gives players some minutes. Means when injuries do come the back up players are woefully short of match practice.
