Watched Oppenheimer. Absolutely loved it. I thought Cillian Murphy was superb and didn't even recognize Robert Downey Jr until half-way through. Only annoyance was Matt 'bloody' Damon who seems to appear in everything. |

Playing sideways and back is very much down to Varane and Field. If you have an entire stadium shouting 'turn' at a player that implies that they don't and keep going backwards.
Looking forward to seeing Morgan, Tuck or Vale in that 8 role this season. |

You can not play progressive front foot football with Field AND Varane in the same team. Last season showed it didn't work. Today, you saw how we could play.
Field and Varane are not our better players, they are destroyers, and good at it. To win games you need to score so we need the ball going forward not sideways and backwards. It will be one or the other. If they both play it will mean it's gone horribly wrong again. |

Agree. I've been pulling my hair out watching Field and Varane together, but you definitely need one in there; they do the horrible stuff to allow Morgan or Tuck to get that ball forward. Vale or Chair at 10.
I'm so happy 😊 we have youngsters playing forward and others with pace. |

Well done!
The one thing I would say is don't beat yourself up if u fancy a beer on a Friday or Saturday night. I've just watched the game against Toulose with a couple of beers, but nothing during the week. They're my little reward.
Also, milk is important. I drink full fat as all the nutrition is in the fat, you need the calcium and vitamins. Soft drinks are loaded with sugar so good on you stopping them.
Keep going! |

He looks class and only 17. They are going to have to look after him as he will play at the highest level.
The amount of teenagers we have pushing through is pretty amazing. |

You've just watched the end of the Field/Varane partnership in midfield.
Morgan will play 8, competing with Tuck, next to either Field or Varane. Exactly the way it should be. Both Morgan and Tuck get the ball forward and anyone who watched the DS against Brentford knew these two would be playing a part in the 1st team.
Only concern is the RB slot if Dunne gets injured. I know we are interested in Alfie Gilchrist, wonder if we might make a move?
Gotta laugh at some of the comments on here after the last game. 🤣 |

The cheese eating surrender monkeys don't like it up 'em.
Good workout. Liking Chair dropping in deep with Morgan slotting in up field.
Be interesting to see what he does with Esquardinha and Alkindini at half time. If they play for 60mins could mean they are starters. |

My son has just passed his CIPS (Chartered institute of Procurement and Suply) Level 3. He's only 20, got really good A level results, but didn't want the Uni debt so did the CIPS.
Anyone in Procurement or Supply Chain who has any jobs then I have 20yo Rs fan desperate to work.
The jobs market, especially for entry level jobs is almost non existent, AI wiping them out. |

Can't believe the criticism the women are receiving, but then that little weasel Barton is one of those throwing insults so I shouldn't be surprised.
Men seem to miss a huge disparity that exists between the men's and womens games. The women today in their mid 20s would have started playing the game 20 years ago. I'm pretty sure there was very little professional coaching, academies or professional teams who took the women's game seriously back then. Key skills are learnt at very young ages, not teenage years.
In 10 years the women representing England will be the first to of experienced a full academy education and the standard will improve.
Until then some need to give them a break. Or don't watch it. |

I used to have a ST front row upper loft when i was a kid. Thanks Dad, luxury. I miss it now as a middle aged bloke, thankfully I'm under 6ft though. |

That was really good. Couple of things that stood out was getting the ball forward, not back, and body shape.
Although a bit worrying having he is having to coach the newly signed right back to get his shape right so as not to get rolled. U12s are coached that! |

He did a decent job for us. I absolutely loved him when he first joined, but by the end something had clearly gone wrong and the football was unwatchable. I'm not sure anyone could, hand on heart, say it wasn't.
I wish him luck, and no doubt in 20 years time he'll be back as a Forever R.
When he makes his first return I'll give him a clap.
I'm just praying that Stephane has a good start as I don't think anyone wants it going toxic. |

Which is why I've got him down to be sacked by Xmas. Those fans are not going to stand for 6 game losing streaks like us lot are.
Lose 6? We just sing your name the entire game! |

Definitely a good technical player, but needs those runners around him. Fingers crossed for this season. |
