Given the players fully fit that we had available, the fact that we went a goal down & created little, think a draw is fair. One game too many in a demanding week.

If our players could stop needlessly getting booked, that would be great.

With the players we have on the pitch, I can’t see us winning this.

We have been pretty awful. Unsurprising given absences but Merino & Eze have been passengers all too easily bypassed or caught dawdling on the ball. 3/4 defenders on a yellow when looking nervous feels like a recipe for disaster.

I’ll never cease to be amazed at the indifference & lack of teeth shown by football’s governing bodies in the face of such despicable behaviour.
Atletico Madrid have received a €30,000 fine and a ticket ban after the club’s fans were found to have made monkey gestures and noises, as well as Nazi salutes during a game against Arsenal in October.
Atletico Madrid fined €30,000 for racist behaviour by supporters during Arsenal game
The incidents occurred during Atleti's 4-0 defeat in north London in the Champions League on October 21.

That was a budget from a leadership paralysed by a lack of strategic vision. They can’t even communicate the wins because of the briefings & counter-briefings. Government by polling & focus groups is for the weak & that is what they are… Depressing.

COP30 in Brazil was billed as the “implementation summit”, when hot air turned to action. But Edelman, the PR firm that won the contract to promote the climate summit, was pulling in two directions.

I watched zero minutes of the last WC & I can see it being the same again… FIFA is run by men who only have one interest & that is lining their pockets. Greed will be the death of the beautiful game.

Cristiano Ronaldo has magically had his ban reduced so he can start the World Cup. There is no precedent...but then he met the President. How depressing...
