pingpong

Not that horrific, all the matches were competitive and no-one got injured, it was hardly the Somme. It was also not a mixed event, despite what any harry potter author may tell you. I think and hope that one day there will be some mixed sport events, eg in chess, or darts, where women can play safely against men without fear.

You cant answer the question by quoting match results, as its not about a whole team of women, just one. If you look at being a striker in our games last season, all they need to do is run around a bit, and they'll touch the ball 3 or 4 times. kelly could have done the same job with the ball as archer or onuachu last season, and if we let her take corners, would have contributed as much as any of our front line did. Lauren james would definitely walk into last years team, she has an eye for a pass that noone in the team had. The risk is that they get their bones broken by the opposition, but just don't go in to tackles, we had plenty of bottle jobs in the team already anyway.

Bank Holiday if we win the world cup I think, not for euros. Not comparable to the men's game, this one was actually fun to watch and we won. Watching England men is like watching saints, just self punishment and a continual let down.

Baz is better than people here think, and gets over scrutinised for every move he makes. His stats were very similar to ederson and only slightly below Allison during the promotion season, it was partly the fault of our system of play, which focussed on giving opponent strikers the ball in the most dangerous positions on the pitch. He's looked good preseason, I'm not worried if ramsdale goes. For some reason from day one ramsdale got a pass for minor errors, whereas baz gets pilloried for the same things. If fans can get over that, he'll be fine.

If any co-commentator used that phrase to describe agyemang, they'd be sacked, no question. It’s clearly racist and sexist, it's derailing the thread, can we all just accept this Turkish character is a WUM and get back to the football? They're not going to suddenly become a nicer person because we're calling them out. Maybe shift this chain out into a separate lounge thread where the antiwoke brigade can post their memes and be cunts in a corner somewhere else? You could call it "can't say anything these days" and have one place to move all of these types of conversations into it, and keep the rest of the forum a more inclusive and modern space to discuss, I dunno, football and stuff?

Why are estate agents all so nasty? Surely there should be a gap in the market for a trustworthy estate agency, but it seems it's not profitable.

Another opportunity to get your assumptions in early, but be quick, before the evidence or facts come in...

Surprised aribo is in after his game against West ham, where he looked off script. But he needs games to shake off the lego, so hopefully will improve.

If youre interested, and can make it through the first paragraphs, some insight here on how often liverpool players train, and their attitude to it (about 1 day a week rest, but 3 a month is fine...) https://www.redbull.com/mea-en/how-trent-alexander-arnold-trains

I do agree he could be benched, but I would definitely play someone else in his place, we need 11 players on the pitch.

That's because pressing is a team endeavour. Arma often initiates the press because he is relatively quick and runs for days. The reason it looks futile is that he hasn't been getting the backup. Sulemana gave some second half in the week, but usually, the other forwards just watch. That will change now, and think arma will look good again with more support.

I think at least some people on here need to admit they have prejudice, because they have literally pre-judged. Feel free to justify why you are prejudiced, but I don't think you can realistically claim you are not prejudiced if you posted early on this topic and made a (pre) judgement. These days, it's as likely to be a jealous incel or a wronged asylum seeker as it is to be an islamist terrorist, so you do have to wait to know. Jumping in with assumptions implies you are more interested in furthering your own prejudices than with what has actually happened.
