    Good Week/Bad Week

    Gareth Bale is/will become a Left Back. That is his best position, it's what all the tools in his box are sharpened for. He just needs more time and good direction using them. All in good time. He will never, ever play the role he appears to be trying to play effectively. He is not Rafa, he is...

    Time for Bale to take Centre Stage

    In 10 years' time, when Bale's career is summarised, his pre-eminence will be as a world-class, overlapping, offensive Left Back. He has the potentially to be right up there with the best there's ever been. Like a leftie Dani Alves on speed. Full Backs are fundamental to modern tactics (i.e. not...

    Hi PT Any chance you could please explain the reasoning behind my infraction? I am still mightily confused. There is some extremely antagonistic and distasteful vitriol on this site, but never from me. Why the infraction? Do I have a right of reply, and an explanation, not least so that if there...

    From Fratton Park to N17, Project Harry.

    Thank you, Juan Rebelde, perfectly put. As I said, a midget, standing on the shoulders of giants. To equate where Bill Nick took us, to what Harry was given is manifestly nonsense.

    Can you please explain why I have an infraction? Why? I used no abusive language. The only swear word was a copy of the previous poster who had abused me in the first place? I used no bad language, no strong insult. Extraordinary - I would be the last person ever to do so. So, why have I got an...

    Tactically Utterly Inept

    A big headline. So, let me state my credentials. I have coached youth football for 4 years, from U7 up to U10. I am an FA qualified coach. Impressive huh? Hmmmm. On top of that, I've been watching football - no, studying football - avidly, everywhere and anywhere, for 37 years. From the Stoke...

    Ssshhhhhh

    Has anyone else seen the article below before? I was prompted to look after Saturday's "entertainment" v. Reading. After their first goal, we went as quiet as I've known, which I think is just a reflection of this strange season we're having, and the nervousness felt by us all at our flaky...
