    Grimes

    The reason Grimes hasn't gone to the Premier League is down to one thing - his lack of pace. This is now a non-negotiable quality. You only have to look at make up the numbers sides like Bournemouth and Palace - they have athletes in all positions. But when it comes to ability to control a game...

    Grimes

    I reckon Grimes' performance yesterday was pretty standard. The difference was the collective performance around him. We were excellent out of possession throughout but we're a bit hit and miss in possession. There was certainly more tempo and intensity in our play, although that came at the...

    You diminish the strength of your arguments by resorting to needless ad hominen attacks. Take the ball not the man.

    Grimes

    Evatt took a Bolton side in administration from near the foot of league two to automatic promotion and has had them achieving play-off places in two consecutive seasons plus the Papa John's trophy. Possession football doesn't guarantee success in any individual game but in the long term the...

    Montenegro v Wales | Monday 7.45pm | Match Thread

    Absolutely. We should be all over this. Clearly still a class act.

    Montenegro v Wales | Monday 7.45pm | Match Thread

    Almost certainly a 4-1-4-1 with Ollie and Wilson behind Moore. Ollie in for his energy in and out of possession. Neco and Koumas out wide.

    Wales vs Turkey 7.45pm Friday

    Better than we were under Giggs. Only let down by some poor finishing and poor final balls second half. The performance was right up there either the very best from Wales. Really looking forward to Monday's game.

    Teams at all levels of the game that dominate possession tend to outperform their competitors. Think Barrow when they won promotion from the National league (dubbed unimaginatively Barrowcelona). Or Williams' Notts County scoring a ridiculous number of goals in winning promotion from the...

    Grimes

    That's revisionism. There's an article out there somewhere that documents our decline possession wise in the Premier League. We managed around 58% odd if my memory serves under Rodgers, and finished 11th, which was an astonishing achievement with the bargain basement squad we had. Then under...

    Grimes

    Although we still build from the back (painfully slowly too often) under Williams we also look to get the ball out wide to the full backs and wingers at the earliest opportunity. This is why Grimes drops between the centre backs, as his distribution is pinpoint accurate. Whilst this works fine...

    Luke Williams ahead of West Brom | Press Conference

    That's exactly what we did against Man City in the FA Cup quarter final, where only the absence of VAR denied us an historic victory. The Celina goal started with Nordfeldt.

    TNS

    TNS were unbeaten and won by 33 points in a 32 game season. Man City won by 2 points and the title was in the balance to the last game. The Cymru Premier is a procession in a way few other leagues are.

    TNS

    Indeed. And now that serious money is available to Cymru Premier sides that progress in Europe it would be unsurprising if other Cymru Premier sides get taken over. The prospect of earning over £3 million a year from the Conference League is going to be mouth watering.

    TNS

    To an extent that's true, but TNSs supremacy is at a different level entirely. It's pretty much guaranteed they will win the league before a ball is kicked. At least Arsenal ran Man City close last season.

    TNS

    TNS getting to the group stages of the Conference League will earn them a minimum of over £3 million in prize money. Although this will be good for the profile of the Cymru Premier it will make an uncompetitive league even more so. However, with that sort of money available for winning a couple...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City vs Cardiff City | The EFL Championship

    Given the correct pronunciation of Eom is "Ohm" not "E-om" perhaps a chant of "Ohm my God" would work?

    General Election ...

    We really need an alternative to Labour in the Senedd. It's simply not good for democracy to have one party in continuous power for 27 years as will be the case come the next election. The problem is that Plaid would have to go in to coalition with the Tories. When Bourne was leader the Tories...

    I thought Toshack would be a good manager for Wales and all subsequent managers would be bad appointments - with all turning out to be qualified successes.

    General Election ...

    1. That tired strong and stable argument applies as well, if not better, to dictatorships. 2. Strong and stable are not the adjectives that spring to mind when I think of the last 14 years of Tory misrule. However, the words chaotic, shambolic and clusterfyc readily come to mind. It depends on...
