The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
pingpong replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
There will never be a u-ier U-turn than the previous govt u-ey u-turn in COVID, when they insisted on kids going back to school in January, only to change their minds after ONE day, this ensuring not only a damaging lockdown, but also that it went on longer because everyone had a day to sneeze and snot on each others kids before sending them home to their parents. Lethal consequences for some too. So it's going to take something more than adjusting a limit on some tax before they get close to u-iest. -
He'd be in the same position, watching from the bench and getting 15mins every other game. He doesn't have the work ethic to stake a claim for the rwb role.

Is GK the worst position in this clubs history?
pingpong replied to SaintsRoyalty's topic in The Saints
We have two international goalkeepers on the books, capped by england and Ireland. Who was our last first team GK who didn't have caps to his name? -
Just now - bazunu just got penalised for fouling the Coventry keeper.

This. We'd be losing this game with McCarthy, baz coming into the team has really made the difference in turning our season round.

Sainsbury Taste the Difference apple and pork cocktail sausages
pingpong replied to benjii's topic in The Lounge
I don't know if I like the idea of a pork and apple cocktail. Meat in any cocktail is a red flag to be honest. -
Just not true. Its in portswood Sainsbury's right now.

Lol you idiots pontificating about diets and mental health - science is done with, it's been established that it is all caused by pregnant people taking paracetamol. Do you not follow the news at all?

Still too high. By 12 you are in secondary school and would have surpassed trumps reading age already. My 7 yr old nephew might say something like he did when he is having an episode, so I'd say he writes like a 7yr old having a tantrum. Correction: I've looked it up. Trumps reading age is 9-10yrs old, so maybe the answer is between the two of us. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/s/WjZJ9NGFZq

That is clearly tactical, and part of our 3cb strategy. We want to restrict opponents to crossing it in, and we rely on 3 tall CBS to clear it, baz clearly has instructions to stay back.

Fire the graphics guy, showing a red bar at about 10 percent full for a stat of 60 percent is criminal. Also why no distribution stats for Johansson? Suspicious data presentation all round. And why are we comparing with Johansson? Is he the benchmark for a 8th placed championship team, and who decides that? In our promotion season he had very comparable stats to ederson at man city, why not do that comparison? You have to look at quality of chances too - if we give oppo strikers 5 seconds to set themselves, have a fag and a poo before firing their shot, they have a better chance of scoring than a team that gives up fewer clear chances by actually defending their box effectively.

We're over reliant on bazunu, this must be 9 to 12 points he has got us this season - too many, at some point he will stop saving us and we need all the points we can get if we want to get second. I don't know what the solution is because we can't afford to change fellows the way he is playing. No arguments with the way downes and jander are playing either, but we seem to be missing the extra man a little bit too often. Will be interesting to see what happens when Charles is back.

This is fairly standard nowadays, since about 5 years ago, I believe it is related to the medical facilities and tech that is available pitch side nowadays, whereas in the past the afflicted would just have to be carted out for medical attention away from the stands, nowadays they are treated in-situ, defibs etc. Abandonment would suggest that after the incident, there were not enough medical staff available to cover further incidents and so call off will be safety related.

I'd argue that Uruguay, ivory coast and Italy would be harder, which is also possible. Other teams in our group could be Croatia, Uruguay, Norway, Morocco, Senegal, Australia, Ghana, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Turkiye. All of which I'd argue are better than Jordan or Panama.

Usually I'm blinkered about our players, while they are here, and blindly optimistic. As an example, I still think downs needs minutes. I like Stephens. I thought Mara was ok. I wanted Carrillo to have more of a chance. I thought dia showed flashes of skill. Baz is in my top eight all time saints keepers. Even I can see aribo has been hopeless. What is his top speed? I don't think we know, because his acceleration is so slow that he never gets there. He needs a hundred yards to gather momentum and as such, just lopes around and watches players run past and away from him. I always consider it game over when he comes on. He's like the antichrist. Or the Antiscienza.
