    Not too worried about any of the home games - maybe with the exception of Chelsea who are shite but you know they'll raise it for us. The cup may distract them though. The away games though...

    I get they're not as close together but seem odd to list all that and leave out the last two games

    Everton at home on 19 May - last game of the season

    and CL final 1st June

    That said I don't think we will make the CL final anyway

    Well yes the point was to illustrate that should we make the semi final we’d be playing twice a week for a six week period

    Really disappointing to see Rice putting more pressure on White in this article, he should just be backing him whatever his decision, not saying he wants to change his mind

    Why?

    Trying to persuade someone to change their mind, is not a sign of disrespect for their decision

    In Rice’s case it’s a sign of respect for White that he thinks England is missing out by not having him to call on

    No, he's implying White's wrong to make himself unavailable, it leaves him more isolated, he should STFU and just back him

    Maybe he knows White better than you do. And maybe he thinks he wants to play for England but feels he’s being held back and wants to act as a mediator. Nothing about that demonstrates a lack of respect for what White is doing.

    If White is determined to stick with his position, Rice I’m sure won’t push the matter. But if you’re friends with someone and you think they might benefit from changing their mind there’s no harm in trying to talk them round….if they are resolved and won’t change their mind…then you step back.

    A friend of mine recently has been involved in a rather distressing dispute with people close to her (or were once close to her) and the police had originally handled it badly and she wanted to drop the case. I tried my best without being pushy to persuade her to wait a bit not because I knew she would have regretted it if she had just dropped it out of a sense of panic and mistrust. Would I have pushed too far if she was intent on dropping the case…no of course not…if someone is determined you respect their decision…and she did ultimately continue with the case…something she’s stated to me she feels so glad that she did now.

    Having someone trying to persuade you is not an act of undermining unless you’re a narcissist like Trump who thinks you can never be wrong about anything. For all you know, White might be the kind of person who is open minded enough to take on a different perspective or way of thinking about the situation.
