The Kraken

Great save from Fraser to give us what we deserved. 4 points from the past two games when I full expected none. Ralph has got them so well drilled.

Hojberg couldn’t even get in the team before he left, JWP and Romeu kept him out on form alone, they were brilliant in the post lockdown games.

Not for me, like quite a few others I’d been saying that Forster is the better option of the two. He’s not been flawless by any stretch but in general I think the defence as a whole has looked more secure with him behind. To be honest though, neither should be seen as our first choice option going forwards so hopefully it gets addressed in the summer.

Pretty sure all of the commentators on BT (Franny and Crouch) then on MOTD (Dublin and Richards) all said that it was silly that a foul wasn’t given here. Think it was maybe Crouch (who was very pro Spurs) said that for him no way the goal should be given as that incident was absolutely key to the whole move, without that there was no move. But yeah, that’s the rules.

He commentated on Spurs v Saints. He was distraught by the end of it.

Ian Pompey Fan Darke and Glenn Hoddle were distraught at the end of their commentary, they were wishing one in. Crouch also playing the Spurs fan. Thankfully Franny was there to give it some balance. Ralph you little beauty.

Heard that one before……

George Best was nowhere near his peak when he finished playing football. Cantona is about the best example there is though. He has said himself that he quit too early.

Of course there will be. In fact there are soon going to be so many Brexit benefits that the haunted pencil JRM has been appointed Brexit benefit minister to take on the burden of sharing all the wonderful news with us.

Perhaps a condition of sale that she reverts to a shareholder rather than director?

Yeah I get that, it was definitely his thinking pre game as he alluded he was going to do it in his press conference in the lead up to the game. I was a bit surprised and a little disappointed he did it, Ralph has often before prioritised cups and not put out such a changed side. We got a bit of a scare and got away with it.

You seem to be saying that Ralph shouldn’t take blame for picking the side he did, despite also saying that Ralph realised he made a mistake with the team he picked then changed it quickly?

Some of those were absolutely hilarious 🤣 Cracking burgers in there, and absolutely massive. Haven’t been since before covid hit though.

Clifford had some useful ideas but, my god, the man was a helmet.

We’re not second, we’re joint third 🙄

Don’t think it needs a winky emoji. I’d be surprised and disappointed if Ralph put out anything other than our strongest team.

There’s always the possibility it’s both.

Dorries is utterly thick as shit. She only got where she is by being Johnson’s lickspittle and she’s forever ostracised to back benches when he’s gone. So she takes the only option she has, entrench that tongue of hers firmly up Boris’ sizeable arse and breathe it all in. Despicable human being and the very embodiment of what is wrong with politics, party over country every time for these wankers.

Kier Starmer’s admonishing of him was very well delivered. I’m still not fully convinced on Starmer but him and his party are a million times more attractive that the sorry sack of shit on the benches opposite them. Ian Blackford was brilliant 🤣 so glad he didn’t back down and retract on calling Johnson a liar, which he so clearly is. And hats off Teresa May. Such a succinct accusation and question she made that the fat liar simply had no answer to, so he ducked it. That was fun to watch!

The Sue Gray update is out. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/investigation-into-alleged-gatherings-on-government-premises-during-covid-restrictions-update Considering she’s not been allowed to report on anything at all of the interesting bits, it’s pretty obvious what the content of the full report will be and it’s not a good look for No. 10. Whether the full report will ever see the light of day is doubtful, mind.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to you. The parameters of the Gray inquiry were always that, if events were uncovered that might be criminal in nature, they would be forwarded on to the police. The inquiry’ terms of reference are here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1039751/Terms_of_Reference_-_Cabinet_Secretary_Investigations_-_December_2021.docx.pdf

Why have you got a picture of MLG as your avatar?

It wasn’t all we had though. We had our own eyes, on what he did for Saints. I think that’s where your your statistical analysis fell down, maybe.

That’s a very poor statistical base to draw from in this particular case. I think you’ve realised your mistake, sort of, so we’ll move on.
