That whole attack came from Armstrong weakly giving away a ball when under no pressure. Then it’s Garner and AMN being weak. #efc

Bizarrely, Don Goodman has just announced, with 28 minutes of normal time to go, that “there’s still time for one of these two teams to score here”. Why do Sky pay for co commentators when they offer no genuine wisdom? #efc #hcfc

Every goal kick the huge touchlines - create width and space. It’s effective and progressive.

Hull play very direct football, and they should be applauded for this. I wish Everton could see that getting the ball forward as quickly as possible is actually a good thing rather than the laboured slow build ups we keep doing. #efc

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Mistakes layered on mistakes. Awful from #efc

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Everything is SO laboured. Every pass is delayed, every cross comes too late and too many players first thought is to pass backwards and not forwards.

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Would it harm #efc to play a ball or make a pass early rather than taking 4 touches before we pass, cross or shoot?

020

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

And the ref blocks an Everton pass and gives the ball back to Hull? Could the officials just stop making up rules? #efc

020

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

#PremierLeague and #VAR making up new rules to stop #efc scoring. New rule “subjective offside” ??? When was this a rule?

110

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

A Hull player could shoot an #efc player and the co commentator (Don Goodman) would still say he doesn’t think it’s a foul or a yellow card.

You don’t accept my point that green woes reported in the hostile media are self inflicted. Fine. I believe they are. You responded to me. Don’t like my opinions, just block me. Bye.

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I’m not saying they’re crap. I do think he’s a poor leader though (as is Ed Davey) and he gives hostile media all the ammunition they need.

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

But but but . The Greens had momentum before Polanski. I know people who voted Green because they liked their green values, not for them to become Corbyn mark 2. He’s obsessed with his own personality, which is fine for a popular politician. But polls show he’s not popular.

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I agree. The greens have been going around shooting thenselves in the foot and don’t like the press reporting it. Not helped by Polanski making claims (contradicted by others) about his grandparents & then going in to hiding after the conference vote & him refusing to vote. All very self inflicted

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

With so many MPs, I’d hoped after 2024 the lib Dems would make it clear what we stood for and had a coherent policy to get media coverage. Sadly, Davey has provided none of that.

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

No pressure on that cross. Norwich fought for everything first half, second half everyone is standing off. #ncfc

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Commentators only able to see their screen totally unaware of the keeper being injured. The “penny pinching” of #skysports not having commentators actually at the game is ridiculous given that they have a pointless “co commentator” who offers no insight. #ncfc #scfc #Swans

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Bizarre how the #ncfc defence was missing there.

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

That’s awful from Vlad in goal. Pushed it straight out to Idah. #ncfc

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

The problem with #skysports having commentators say commentating on a game in Wales from a sound insulated cupboard in West London (Sky have been doing that for all except their “featured” championship by mes this season) that they miss so much, but it’s so obvious that they’re not there. #ncfc

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Did someone forget to tell the #Swansea fans that there was a game on today? Thousands of empty seats. #ncfc

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The Tories’ friends in the upper echelons of #BBCNews have given FAR more coverage to the Tory conference than any other. Every report is poditive in its “spin” and it looks like the BBC have taken an editorial decision to help the Tories out.

I think it’s normal to wait and be sure. Meanwhile it’s just speculation.

Farukh has a bias against Andy at every turn, he'll be part of the reason we end up with a far right government in the end. He knows this full well that its not a main policy but that's not convenient to his narrative.

#England not playing their best goalkeeper vs the world champions isn’t really the greatest decision a manager can make.

Also, Rangers had spent beyond their means, subsided by a rich owner.

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

English teams were just getting used to football in Europe after a long ban. Your Scottish bias is admirable, but look at how Scottish teams did before that one season. And being the big two teams in a pub league doesn’t make you big.

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I get it - you’re Scottish - but before the premier league existed, Rangers and Celtic were not bigger than the top 5 English teams.

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

You see it at every level these days . It’s everyone playing like Guardiola makes teams play. It’s so dull.

The absolute obsession professional footballers have with turning backwards, playing backwards, when there are perfectly good forward options is again highlighted by #Guehi for #England

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

£75m would be a joke price. The “premium” Everton would expect to sell to them would put an extra £10m on any standard fee.

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Disgusting how the BBC reported RNLI rescuing people in the sea as being “picked up by the RNLI” on the news this morning. The BBC deliberately feeding a right wing “taxi service” narrative about an organisation that voluntarily saves lives.

The BBC has been showcasing the views of oil tycoon Jim Ratcliffe in every news show for the last 24 hours, noting that he's "one of Britain's richest men". Shouldn't this be "one of Monaco's richest men"? How about similar airtime for (say) one of Britain's poorest women?

Norwich simply reverting to the championship “model” of teams passing/arsing around with it in parts of the pitch you DON’T want to be doing that, then wonder why you keep gifting posession away that leads to goals #ncfc .Bolton showed how a more direct style can be progressive, effective & exciting

#ncfc down to ten men with McLean injured. Hard to imagine that this will weaken the team. McLean has been so poor.

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Genuine question. Is McConville colour blind? Twice today under no pressure he’s passed directly to a red shirt and he did this last week vs Boro. #ncfc

020

Nich Starling @nichstarling.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

The difference between a team that goes backwards and sideways compared to a team that lives the ball quickly forwards is shown here in stark contrast. Bolton far more focused on getting it forward and it’s working well. #ncfc obsessed with passing with no aim.
