I always find it a sad watch.

My issue isn't with the fact that it's a Championship club. It's a level that will do him the world of good. It's Burnley, a poorly run club and likely candidates for relegation. There were other, better run clubs capable of providing him with a healthier environment.

I know. The question was rhetorical.

Very good. He's a class above the rest of Burnley's dross. I still can't fathom why he was sent there.

You speak from experience?

Note the word could. Do you believe every bit of click bait internet speculation?

Yes. Eg, Man Utd currently owe other clubs £405m in instalments for bought players, more than half due within 12 months. All clubs are at it, a round robin of Monopoly money ultimately financed by banks and other lenders. As bubbles go it's a corker and we know what inevitably happens to bubbles.

Spare us your private collection.

When aren't they? My blocked list is growing.

Sorry, I have to report this post for being too sensible, an oasis of reason (to mix a metaphor) in an ocean of typical bloody minded negativity.

His book value, which is what matters for accounting purposes, is around 60m.

Western swing. One of the many influences on what was to become rock'n'roll. Bob Wills was massively important until grog overtook him.

It happens to the best of us as the years mount up.

Well, it wouldn't be far from the truth.

It will happen. His absences from the squad say so.

A combination of things. They have obviously had a rethink. They had to. Even they could see the results of the errors of their ways. Enter at the same time a manager who actually has a clue about quality football. A good marriage.

I can't speak to your analogy but Bayern is obviously no real test of a manager's capabilities.

You seem surprised. Keep up.

Third choice behind J.P. and D.W. Essentially the Guiu role.

Chelsea 2 - 1 Arsenal. Rogers 22'.

No. In a word. Never has had and never will have the physicality for the PL. Belongs in the Championship.

Which one?

Change nappies. Good lad.

It is too. I can't rewatch it.

He's not dissimilar to what Mason Mount was. Which isn't what we need.
