I know both clubs have devoted a lot of time and money that way, so it's clearly not easy Managing their playing time by not playing them certainly is a move.

That used to be their model, but Mount, Chaloboah, James, Livramento, Gilmour, RLC and Hudson Odoi are all proper Chelsea youth players. Possibly Lamptey too.

I have just been told that the new collective pronoun for a group of Evertonians is a "suffering". I feel the pain. So with that in mind how much longer do you think before people turn on Rafa (0 wins out of last 7 PL outings)?

CyberPingu posted:He might be sacked if he gets thumped by Liverpool on Wednesday I know my tendency to defend Rafa Benitez borders on parody here, but unless Everton really change the way they are run and somehow sort out their finances, no manager is going to be able to do anything with the squad they have and their inability to recruit well. Benitez was obviously chosen because of his willingness to be the fall guy for a club that wants to get thrifty - or his inability to recognize when a club is setting him up for that position - so I don't think any new manager is going to be drastically better. They need to get through some injury issues in their squad and their form will eventually turn upward again. Benitez really is a lodestone for bad owners. He's one of the most reliable "reverse barometers" in the sport. If he's joining your club, it means bad times are ahead and it's necessarily down to his moves, but he's just got a knack for finding the most frustrating club situations possible and getting stuck right into it. Maybe Everton should have saved themselves the trouble and gone with Nuno, assuming he did not have his heart set on Spurs, but I don't know if Nuno would have done any better from a pure results perspective. Maybe he'd be better at somehow finding bargain transfers?

Offered the guy a ticket to a home game next time he's in London. Cryptic hint that he's staying at spurs or is he going back to Millwall in January

Texas to Burnley fueled by anomie and a love of craft beer, diehard Spurs fan since 2014. Love that Men in Blazers podcast. Just had a moment of sleep deprived clarity as I walked through the endless snow covered row houses outside of turf moor and wondered where it all went wrong. This can't be all there is. Why didn't I just go to a Cowboys game.

Dallas to London is like 10 hours (unless you paid like 30 bucks for your ticket and you're connecting through Portland or something), taking 31 hours to get to Burnley is entirely down to personal choice

It is definitely quicker and probably cheaper to get from Dallas to London than it is to go from London to Burnley
