Not at all. We are the only club with multiple players out with a virus. Players used to be able to play with a flu, not at our club.

OH SURPRISE SURPRISE, WAS HE ILL REALLY?

The (former) Shadow Minister for Ozempic has done excellent work and his service to the good people of Shamelesston and Weaselby stands out in particular.

Apart from being a wickedly satirical magazine its investigative journalism puts most of the other media to shame. The Post Office Scandal ( first exposed by Computer Weekly in 2009) and the infected blood scandal were both subjects extensively investigated by the magazine.

Oh, back on subject, Estavio looks quality but frustrated too !

It spans the generations too: as a kid I loved the juvenile humour in the back (which gave a child a general sense of what was going on and the perceptions of each politican were), as an adult I love the insider knowledge, the proper reporting, and particularly the snide anti-corruption persistence.

And for only £2.99 a fortnight!

I’m a Byline Times man myself. Their investigative journalism is up there with anything else I’ve read in this country.

Estevao to score 2 tomorrow.

WILL THE SD’s SELECT HIM, or will he have another cold?

Ridiculous that he's not playing every week - who's taking his place: neto, garnacho, gittens, pedro, fernandez, delap ???

Even if he's not in his best position - we'd be more of a threat with him just being on the pitch.

And why haven't we tried to build the team around him and Palmer... crazy to me.

Hope we get rid of Enzo - does nothing for me up front - yes scores the occasional goal but who else wouldn't in that position?

Should be starting more games. Needs time to learn the league and gain experience. They are throttling his minutes and hard to see why other than burning out young players (but even then feel he has more mins to give than what we see). Hes also good enough to start for Brazil, but not Chelsea - bizarre to me.

Wait till you find out they intend to build the team around Enzo.

“I love Enzo, because he's world class in all of the roles you've just mentioned. You can play him as a deep line six, who can get on the ball and make 100 passes a game. You could play him as an eight, as a box to box, and he can ride in the box and score goals, but also defend his own box. And you can play him as a 10 because he can connect. He can create assists and score goals. He's just a magnificent footballer. He gives me tactical flexibility for each game against different opposition. My job is to find what functions around him the best, so that the team functions with him in the very best way."

We are doomed if they think he is world class at any role. Never heard anyone mention him as a top PL midfielder.

I read Byline Times too. It's much more navel-gazy hand-wringing contemplative than Private Eye, but I agree, some of the reporting is excellent.

There'll be two pages of Peter Oborne saying "as my egg breakfast congeals, I reflect upon how fortunate I've been from the living room in my five-bedroom suburban home..." then, bang, a stunning insider report about the political culture at the BBC or (more often) Reform PLC's outrageous finances.
