    Totally. And Wagner couldn't wait to tell journalists either.

    Lol. Because no football club owner has ever given public support to their manager, have they? 

    Come on guys. Stop trying to stir up **** when it's not justified. There's plenty to properly criticise the club over. You don't need to make up straw grabbing **** like this.

    No Norwich City fan throughout its existence will ever do anything more classless than hounding Delia in word and deed. 

    It's deplorable and crass. She deserves to be allowed to  make her own exit in her own time which, in her 83rd year, she knows is upon her. It's not like leaving a building, she's stepping away in a process that needs to be right and meticulous, and cannot be rushed. Show some respect and decency.

    I agree with this. Although I think it doesn't exempt her from criticism which her very recent comments rightly have earnt her.

    England got x4 games without being challenged then a qtr against spain or italy.

    Nonsense. Denmark are one of the best teams in the Euros. Serbia are underestimated at our peril too. 

    I think both Belgium and Germany have better groups than England.

    Loving the tone but just a guesstimate that at data science team of say 8 paying avg 50k a year costs 400k before pensions etc… Then a team to do the grunt work to collect the data say 20 people of 30k that is 600k. So that is 1 million in staff costs to maintain it. That is before the project to set it up, cloud storage costs and software license for a modern cloud data platform like snowflake or databricks.

    Crucially that is if what is discussed is collected, processing and analysing the data ourselves. 

    Yes, but what is your background to give these as "guesstimates"? I've no idea how much any of this costs, or even as a comparison to what is already spent on data to say this would cost "millions" to set up and maintain.

    I'm not trying to entirely take the **** here; this data side of football is something new to me and I'm keen to know more, particularly given our impending steer towards it as a mode of building a squad.

    So the plan is that we can compile stats better than say the DAZN group who have revenues of over 2 billion pounds. Just setting this up etc.. will cost millions and running millions more. Yes get the data use the data as part of the decision making process but come on let’s be realistic.

    And people think Soccerbot was a waste of money.

    On what basis do you make that estimate of cost? What history, experience or qualification do you have to make that sort of statement?

    ... he recommended the removal of Wagner but the Board blocked it. To me, this seems quite likely with Zoe, Delia and Michael ganging up against him.

    Easy for me to say he should, of course, because it wouldn't be me who faced legal action and financial consequences and an early career scuppered because of a reputation for being 'difficult'.

    I suspect he already wishes he had never applied for the job.

    What is all this based on beyond a desire to wish or assume the very worst of our club at the moment? Honestly, it's well over the top.

    Every real fan has a dislike for that horrible person. She's old and appears to be losing her mind by the state of her drunken appearance tonight 

    Every real person should have a dislike of your ageist, discriminatory post. Disgusting.

    Really, really riles you when somebody posts something positive doesn't it?

    I'll carry on keeping a level head about our club mate, you just carry on with your remorseless campaign of grinding negativity. 

    He's a wind up merchant. Probably because there's nothing else to do in the Midlands. Ignore.

    Because at 2 up, I still felt like we were going to lose. If I'm thinking that - can't imagine that fragility was not going through the minds of players as well. 

    I can't see how we change it. We've got a Sporting Director seemingly paralysed by being new to the situation and role. A board whose inaction and own indecision and uncertainty and incompetence has allowed this situation to fester to a point where we seem like a team totally out of control. A head coach who has shown time and time and time again that he's just not up to turning this ship around and is making the most bizarre decisions (what the **** were those substitutions today?!) and saying some of the most bizarre things in interviews I've ever heard (a squad unanimously affected by a seemingly minor injury to one player?!). A squad of players so unbalanced, lacking in toughness and mental aptitude that we just don't believe they will be able to see a game through even two up. 

    I don't normally like singling individuals out; but how George Long has ended up here when we have young lads like Dan Barden and Archie Mair who I'm sure would have done better than he has tonight? And then there's players like Fassnacht, Giannoulis, Onel and Idah - all of whom I thought had absolutely shocking games tonight. What does Sainz have to do to get a start when these players seemingly stealing a living is no body's clue. 

    Even Gabby Sara who is maybe our only light in this very bleak season, is really quite frustrating at times. 

    Absolutely ridiculous and if Wagner remains at the club for Bristol City on Sunday, Knapper really does need his head wobbling.

    I don't know what his team mates think of Hwang's rather pervy antics. They must get a bit nervous if he gets his phone out in the changing room.

    I suspect there could be a reluctance to pass to him as he does make a lot of decent runs. I've noticed the same when he plays for Korea.

    What a load of ****.

    I went on an overnight boat trip paddling down the Dordogne last night. I had a sleeping bag, but even so it was cold, so I got some wood from the bank and started a small fire. It warmed me up nicely, but some sparks flew out and set light to my kayak. I jumped out quickly and swam to the bank.

    Soaking wet on the bank, I looked at the burning wreck regretfully, reflecting that you can't have your kayak and heat it.

    This is very good 😂

    Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says, "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence; then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says, "OK, now what?"

    There's also no obvious candidate to replace Harry Kane.

    It should've been Mason Greenwood. He's the most natural finisher I've seen since Fowler and the most powerful since Shearer.

    No chance of that now.

    Not for me, Jeff. Greenwood lacked the work rate that would have seen him become anything close to Kane. 

    Suspect Ollie Watkins is the next best option. Maybe see how Ivan Toney is after his suspension too.

    The problem is, behind the hype, this is no more than a fad, which will inevitably settle back to what it was a decade or so back.

    At the moment a few teams benefit immensely by the association with a well known PL club, and I suspect those attending these games come through via the mens games. How many would a team based in Essex called the Basildon Birds attract ?  And how much revenue would they generate ?

    The admission at the top game might surprise many - Chelsea, Adult £9, kids £1. Realitively cheap for a couple of hours of entertainment. What percentage of the games are watched by kids ?  There is just not the demand for this stuff. Kids will play football as nowadays it means dressing up and being part of a group. Though as much like scouts and guides, interest drops off at around age 12, especially for girls. Charge the same as the mens games and see then what the attendance figures are.

    To talk of Arsenal v Chelsea is to actually back this point, rather than what I suspect the poster imagines. Olympic games will attract sell out stadiums, but is what is on offer anything that much better or different to, say, a European athletics meeting at Crystal Palace ?I doubt. It is about attending something special, as with the Queen Mums funeral that is the attraction. Much as with a final at Wembley, it is the occasion that attracts rather than the football itself.

    admission

    What an absolute load of nonsense. And "Basildon Birds" is sexist.
