This isn't exactly an unbiased source! Give me experts over the Liverpool Echo.
The source is London.football as is clearly stated.
Whether they are unbiased or not might be a different matter though.
@Martyn-B who said it was supposed to be a light hearted response? š
@Killa2309 "I had to give it up in the end." Stopped teaching full time over 6 years ago. Continued part time for a while but not any more.
Agreed. Whilst everyone else is pissing around in their 1st year at Uni, the would-be teachers have a full week every week. I think that's what annoyed me the most tbh, you don't really get much chance to enjoy Uni.
The placements weren't exactly a blast either. Most of them were 60-90min away so when we had those for 3wks/6wks at a time, we had to be up at 6am and we wouldn't be home until almost 12hrs later. Then we had to change the lesson plan for the next day because it never goes exactly how you expected it to. Or you have some marking to do or some research for content/materials etc, and that's just part of it.
After Uni, I taught in a number of schools and, although the travel time was a bit better/shorter, the work we were expected to do just increased year after year. I had to give it up in the end.
Most people in a 'normal' job go in to do their shift and when they finish they don't have to even think about work until they go in for their next shift. They also think that teachers have a gazillion holidays to relax in when the truth is we get a week or so at Christmas and a month (generally unpaid) in the summer. The half terms are full of work, trying to sort some lessons out, making stuff to use in class, catching up with some things you couldn't fit into your typical 12hr day, etc. Easter is pretty much the same.
Teachers easily work 60-70 hours a week and the pay isn't that great for what you do.
I'd much rather work half the hours for about 3/4 the pay in far easier jobs and there are plenty of those out there.
@Lukeroro not really. Just click on Duffy's username and you get to see all the posts he has made. He's not on here regularly, thankfully, so the previous ones about Defoe are easy to find.
@Black-wolf said in How to finish the season???:
I personally watch a lot of Dortmund and havent seen Sancho play in LW that i can recall
Since the end of November he has played more at LW than anywhere else (11 out of 17 games), with Hazard RW. Earlier in the season their roles were reversed.
Last season 25% LW, 75% RW. Season before 85% LW, 15% RW. At Man City, he played LW almost every game.
It just shows he can play either side just as well and I'm surprised you don't remember seeing him play LW at all.
Rashford...is always awful when used as a striker
109 games as a striker with 40 goals and 15 assists. A goal contribution every other game, not bad for someone who is supposedly awful up top. It's only been this season where his record as a LW has been better. Yes, that's important of course as form is everything these days but to say he is always awful as a striker is way off the mark.
I guess we'll have to wait and see where Sancho ends up and we both could be wrong. If he moves, it could be Liverpool instead but I'd bet Man U over Chelsea for sure.

@Black-wolf yes, the three strikers because that's primarily what they are.
As for the Chelsea 5, they have played a combined 140 games between them this season and only one of those 140 was as a striker. Even without Pedro and Willian, you have 35 games at LW and 32 at RW for Pulisic, CHO and Ziyech combined. Willian may stay at Chelsea anyway, meaning even less of a need for Sancho. The delay over a new deal happened because he wanted a new 3yr contract but only a 2yr one was offered. Lampard says he wants him to stay, Willian hasn't said he is leaving.
you listed every wide player for chelsea but only RW players for united
Yes, because they don't have anyone who is primarily a LW (Alexis Sanchez but he's been shit for 2+ years).
And if you read what I wrote, and you will see that I've not edited it, I did cover the LW position:
On the left they have mixed and matched a few players in there, none of whom have been great or actually a winger. Martial the best of them perhaps but played more as a striker anyway.
Their only real option was Alexis Sanchez and they didn't even want him at the club.
As I stated before, Sancho is just as good playing LW as he is RW and in fact has more games on the left than the right in his career to date and been more productive playing LW too. He could easily slot into the LW position at Man U, or he could play RW and move James to LW.
I guess we'll have to disagree on this one.
They extended the free play for a week, until next Wednesday
@Westy It's not like them to make a mistake though, right? šš¤Ŗ
Two for the price of one here. First, Michel's currently being awarded points for an 87yo dying.
Second, Michel's listed here as 56yo?!
@Westy Yup but the Full Terms & Conditions don't say that.
