I think we are probably much better at it / much more scientific than previously tbh. You can’t completely negate the risk. The lack of cover means taking a calculated risk / reward gamble too with CL football being at stake.

Lascelles has only played 45 mins of football in an u23 game so suspect he is nowhere near sharp enough to play.

You maybe could do something but the only outcome of any note would be a (probably lengthy) custodial sentence. Because the social media, peaceful protest route and so on is just screaming into the void. I’m completely checking out for the most part. It doesn’t make be feel particularly proud of myself but what are you going to do? And by that I mean subjecting yourself to the (frankly horrific) reality is just bad for you. The holier than thou social commentators constantly banging on about are basically just making a living off it too. What actual fucking good do they do for anyone except themselves?

Burn and Schar are both 33 now and we really don't have anyone else in the way of options in the centre of defence so I'd be extremely concerned if we lost Sven. I'm not convinced Barnes is going to be happy dropping back behind Gordon, even with the prospect of European football next season (there were noises about him wanting to be away in January anyway) so he's much more dispensable imo. Of course if we thought Botman will have ongoing injury problems then it might be more acceptable to move him on but it would certainly cause us problems.

Aye it's got to be the lad that has barely played all season.

If PSG were going to give us megabucks for Botman I’d probably go for that. I think he’s class but he’s been injured a fair bit. I realise we’d then really need to be looking at bringing in two CBs this summer if that happened. I also realise it’s probably bollocks

Botman sadly

+1

Barnes shirley?

Aye I thought that's why wee got this James Bunce bloke in.

There's literally nothing you can do. You can be the most vocal activist in the country and it won't change a damn thing. The only two actors who can stop this are Israel and the US. Not to go all Gemmill but sometimes burying your head in the sand is the best thing to do.

I can't think of much worse for your mental state than watching stuff like that. The people that need to see stuff like that are the people that could do something about it, but aren't. It's on nobody else to put themselves through it. All the "don't look away" stuff on social media - please fuck off, it's absolutely horrendous but I don't need to be walking around with that on my hard drive. It serves no purpose.

There you go buddy, you can stick that one in the wank bank.

Just stop doing it. It's not your fault, you can't practically help. It's horrible, but don't let it consume you., no good can come of it.

I happened to listen to PMQs yesterday and Starmer was still banging on about the two state solution. Think than one had gone now Keir tbh Palestinians have been ethnically cleansed from Gaza. Lots of the loudest and most unapologetic pro Israel voices in this country celebrating this. They also tend to be the loudest and most anti Moslem immigration voices too. I wonder what will happen next?

Thanks for the explainer I honestly don't get why the offside decision has been dragged into this then, any number of random events could have spared him this outcome. But hey ho, at least I understand now. Lot more physics involved than I imagined based on your post.

If we were going to lose one of those, who's out the door for you?

The number of absolutely harrowing videos I see every day on reddit now about Israeli atrocities is starting to make me think I'm genuinely a bad person for doing nothing about it.

Trippier might be back for this one, which leaves us fine. Lascelles was on the bench the other day too. Hopefully Botman just takes the summer and comes back looking tremendous next season.

No no no no. You don't understand. We have plenty of cover at the back. Its RW that we need to concentrate on.

You would think we'd have learned by now that chucking him into starting games straight after an injury just results in another injury for him. This leaves us light at the back against Arsenal. Krafth RB, Tino LB, Burn/Schar CB ?

I wanted the moon rotated clockwise a bit and the fairy sat right on the edge with her arse actually connected rather than levitated. fucking useless website couldn't seem to grasp that. do your stuff.......
