I read that and went "surely we'll be able to get better than top 10 in the Championship," before I realised the level of optimism there. 🙂

According to the stats, we had some efforts, if not on target, then at their goal. 9 I think I saw go up. Of those, Perraud forced a reasonable save. The only delivery of note to Big Paul, and he hit the bar. Beyond that, we did our best, as the match went on, to play safe predictable stuff. A team, so used to having no strikers, just passes around without purpose. There were some little glimpses from Sulemana, Alcaraz and Lavia. Big Paul's touch got worse the deeper he was. But clearly he wants to be on the end of things. But there's no really drive in there. That's long been drilled out of them. Risk averse until the last kick. Another narrow scoreline defeat. So we continue not to get cuffed, which Selles was brought in as a coach to stop. But that's no longer enough.

Decent levels of possession, if from fairly deep. KWP and Stu looking like something might happen. Their fans starting to get a little nervous. No cutting edge, but doing okay. All undone by a soft goal, from a position we've conceded before from, in equally soft positions. They have Ings and Bowen waiting to pounce, as we'll have to have a go. We've got...um...I guess we're hoping for a couple of pens.

I trust the glue they were planning to use wasn't made from horses.

I dropped down dead... ... I got better, but it shows MLT was completely right. 🙂

Oh come on. He has a good heart, and you know how hard they are to find these days. 🙂

Saving

Scientists reveal that they can now protect a foetus from armed attack, by implanting a small hand gun into the womb. The bio gun, grows with the child, allowing it to be prepared to defend itself at any stage of the pregnancy. Mrs Loon View, one of the first mother's to under go the procedure to have a little viewing port added to allow the foetus to open fire, stated "After 36 weeks, their response time and marksmanship really improve. I've never felt safer going to antenatal classes."

Really ticks all the boxes. An international keeper, with Man City pedigree who has spent some time in a lower division getting first team matches and experience. 🙂

Contact the police to report this clear creepy stalking. Then look for support groups, so you don't feel tainted by this connection.

Yeah. Just a little uncomfortable speculating (even with educated guesses) so close to it. I'd not heard of trans day of vengeance. Colossally stupid extremists. And like all extremists, setting the rights of others back tremendously.

More pin stripes ? But careful, it's not... At least for the first team kit. Would add a high fashion option to the club shop...

I was going to comment on the reporting on the trans aspect of this, and say "side issue" so as not to draw attention away from the tragedy. However, we don't know what triggered the assailant here, or any details. Nothing that could justify such actions. I note the Beeb considers the gender issue important enough to be high up in it's report. 'There has been some confusion about Hale's gender identity - with police initially describing the attacker as a woman, and later saying that Hale identified as transgender. A police spokesperson told Washington Post that Hale "is a biological woman who, on a social media profile, used male pronouns".' I've sat through any number of reports on other issues, waiting for them to give me a name. Not with this, as it's "Hale" in place of all pronouns. After all, in the middle of gun shot fatalities, it wouldn't do to get a gender identifier wrong. Meanwhile, I can just imagine trans people cringe as that becomes prominently linked at the top of such reports. Just what they need is to watch national news feel it has to comment on possible pronoun misuse, drawing attention to it, in the wake of a horrible event like this.

I thought this year's home kit was okay. Then someone added the red side panel, and it was much better. Between logos falling off, delays and suppliers going bust, that dept has looked a bit rubbish in recent times, not always of their own doing.

Carlton suffers a "small heart attack". Wishing him all the best. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65091438

Doesn't look like it. His team briefed against Forbes while keeping him well away from any tricky questions. Even then he had to change from being the continuity candidate to the progressive one, as details on the bin fire of his party made continuity toxic. Also some suggestions he may back track on challenging the block to their gender bill. Edit: forgot to also add from the Beeb: But Mr Yousaf has also faced questions over his failure to take part in the final vote on gay marriage in 2014, which he said was due to having a vital meeting about a Scot who was being held on death row in Pakistan on blasphemy charges. Alex Salmond, who was first minister at the time, told Sky News that Mr Yousaf had missed the vote because of religious pressure from a Glasgow mosque - an allegation Mr Yousaf has strongly denied.

The sooner pre school children are given supervised gun lessons and armed with brightly coloured kill-lite weapons, the more prepared they will be to stop rogue armed children, when everyone is armed in elementary school. Protecting kids and society. This post was sponsored by the NRA.

Also, they are wanting to show that at least they show some teeth (at the very early stages) against any incoming regulator.
