If I was Chelsea I would possibly think about shipping him out on loan somewhere. Get him out of England and away from the premier league and the media for a few months or a year. Send him to Holland or France, or similar standard league, see if he can find his scoring boots out there.

Stuart Pearce:

"I will attempt to pick a captain who I believe has that sort of respect in the other players' eyes - someone for whom the team mattered a hell of a lot.

"I see that in the James Milners of this world - they are team players. That's the one fundamental that all leaders have."

Surely not Milner?

My observations from the weekend. Average performance but the result is all that counts for liverpool. I never expected cardiff to be so close, but thought liverpool were a bit nervy. I have heard a few people on the radio/internet mocking liverpool for the perfromance, however I think in this incident it was all about getting the win. Man utd have got 2 champions league titles from 4 finals in which they havent played much above average in any. It probably to some degree affects their legacy (particularly overseas) however if your a fan of man utd you dont care how the games were won. Its funny how people talk about peaties being a lottery, I have never seen any stats but I would suspect the better team wins a significant majority.

League results didnt go too well for liverpool with both chelsea and arsenal picking up wins. As I have said before I am no huge Arry fan, I think he is good when plan A is working but when the plan doesnt work Im not sure he has either the players of the tactical nous for a plan b. As for Man Utd, they are still scraping wins but its all about 3 points, amazing at his age that Giggs can still make an impact when really needed.

As for things down the bottom, QPR look no better to me with Hughes instead of Warnock, I thought they would pull away with the spending but players look low on confidence. Have heard a lot of people say Bolton should look for a new manager. I disagree, fact is that they have been living beyond their means for years and the well has run dry. The fact is that Bolton probably cannot maintain a premiership club with their debt and crowds, they have been spoiled by consecutive seasons in the top league, but may have to accept that they will return back to being a yo-yo club. I dont see how sacking coyle will solve the problem, they will just have to waste money paying him off. They may not go down this season, but if a team is in the bottom 6 spenders in the league consistently they will go down sooner, rather than later.

I think your second sentence demonstrates his problem of huge inconsistency. Walcott is mainly remember for goals against croatia for England and other than that has done nothing for England. At Arsenal he has a few great games a season, along with many more terrible ones, a top level player needs more good/very good games in between the great and terrible ones.

      Glastonbury 2027 ticket price predictions

      By nikkic · Posted

      This is my guess too.    2028 festival breaks the £400 barrier.

      Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it.

      Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.

      Films

      A lot of people have said this online but does the Marvel world need new cities to play with? New York seems to be a target of all the villains to the point where you wonder why anyone in that world still lives there. Much as you can accuse me of overthinking it I guess haha.    I do agree that The Void is a compellingly different villain in many respects given the superpower is trapping people in their most traumatic memories. Shame in some respects the film came out in the post-Endgame funk Marvel seems stuck in and a lot of people missed out on it.    Speaking of, I rewatched Infinity War the other day. First time I think I've seen it since seeing it in the cinema on its opening day. Holds up pretty well imo - I have issues sometimes with ensemble casts and jumping between 4/5 storylines but it felt this one got the balance right and also properly explored Thanos. So it was good.
