It's just such a brilliant format. I reckon loads of them are probably on it simply because they're fans of the show.

It's the best game show format ever devised.

Weird line up this.
Lots of them are really pretty famous to be doing this kind of thing. And then there's three or four who I've literally never heard of.

Hahaha! It's a bit lairy for breakfast (but then again, you've been known to listen to the Hunches at breakfast, haven't you?)

This is a *really* strange thing for the leader of the Conservative party to say.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Yeah, agree. We've scored six goals in our last three games, and missed plenty of chances too. And two of those games were against teams I'd expect to finish comfortably top half.
So it's not as if we're not creating.

Phil Harrison @mrpmharrison.bsky.social · 18h

Yeah, he's very flawed but Beren's piece makes a good case for his defensive value. There's a case for solidity above all else this season and if you're doing that, you arguably pick BA.

Phil Harrison @mrpmharrison.bsky.social · 18h

Oh yeah, it's got to be tailored. But I think Aaronson is perfectly justifiable in quite a lot of games. And actually, we've not looked terrible going forward recently, even with BA in the team.
But yeah; if he's fit, I'd start Gnonto v West Ham for example.

1 2

Phil Harrison @mrpmharrison.bsky.social · 18h

Yep. Longstaff starts for the time being. But, for example, when West Ham come to ER, I'd think in terms of Gnonto for Aaronson.
In terms of what we're trying to do this season, though, I totally see the logic of BA for 70 mins then James or Gnonto with 20 to go if the game is still there to be won.

Phil Harrison @mrpmharrison.bsky.social · 18h

Yeah, but his price tag isn't his fault. I agree we overpaid for him but he is what he is. Farke is simply working with that - and he's right to.

Modern Conservatism is intensely joyless, proudly anti-intellectual, profoundly incurious, scornful of beauty and completely divorced from the richness of the human experience.

As with most of our players (see also DCL, Piroe, Tanaka for a variety of reasons), if he was the full package, he'd be playing for someone else!
We've got what we've got in terms of personnel. This season is a bit of a bodge job. There's a place for BA within that but I hope DF stays flexible.

I love the idea of Crumpsall as its own microcosmic two-state solution. I feel similarly about Stamford Hill, up the road from me.

I have a nasty feeling that, good communicator that he is, Polanski makes this kind of thing less likely not more.
But hopefully the threat of an actual far right govt will concentrate everyone's minds once we get nearer the time. Very much include Labour in that btw.
