The Kraken

I also liked “the British public don’t want to hear about this, they want to see us getting on with COVID”. As if doing one precludes doing the other. Sadly, there are plenty out there who will defend the shaggy haired fat cunt all the way on this. There are plenty who are saying “it was a year ago and we all broke rules”.

The deflection campaign begins. Now talk of a work from home instruction coming out and vaccine passports being implemented.

It’s already in progress, they’re talk of a ‘Boris a Johnson press conference today’ plus adjustments to COVID restrictions. PMQs should be an opportunity for labour but it’ll just be reduced to the usual defence and deflect from the Tories, keep denying it was a party and say that all regulations were followed, and then sum it up all with a healthy dose of ‘but Labour’. And on we go. This whole affair should have heads rolling but not a chance here, Tories are in too deep now so lying about it and circling the wagons around no regulations broken is their only option.

No I don’t think I will.

Yes, today they have a stadium that is 20% bigger than ours and they have plans underway to drastically improve it. The quality of the stadium doesn’t make much difference at all. Parts of Anfield are utterly shocking but one would be an idiot to suggest they’re anything other than one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Just checking, is this the Leeds that is going through planning applications for a 55,000 stadium? Because comparing their size to us given any sort of stadium metric is deeply flawed.

You said emergency loan earlier. Is he one one those?

He’s got a proper set of balls on him.

I hope he gives the side some decent penetration when needed. Most importantly he’s as solid as a rock when it really matters.

Hopefully Swansea don’t scupper our team’s hotel booking this time round.

Nice edit there 🤣 I guess calling it an emergency loan option was a typo….

Foreign away trip

never mind, already done!

Pretty sure it’s called unsporting behaviour these days 🙍‍♂️🙎‍♀️

As above, emergency loan seems a perfectly fine option.

Is it a requirement to have a registered keeper on the bench? If so, we may have a lifeline?

Not sure I agree. JWP in particular is pretty ‘good’ at slowing the game down when we make a foul, we get away with kicking the ball away more often than we likely should when we’ve turned over possession with a foul. I just think the team is mentally weak and know that unless they’re a few up, they’re going to give something away.

Good summary, it’s where I’m at.

Tell Keith Granger to dig out his gloves.

This for me too. Utter weaklings in spirit.

Don’t blame you. It’s the hope that kills you, every time. Start games high tempo, fail to capitalise on a dominant performance, then just utterly melt into the second half. Time and time again. You just know what’s coming every time. It gets old very quickly.

Ralph’s comments on AMc are a little scathing. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/19762818.ralph-hasenhuttl-slams-goalkeeper-alex-mccarthy-injury/ Fucking terrible time for Forster to get injured ffs.

Ralph sounds pretty pissed off that McCarthy didn’t own up to his injury. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/19762818.ralph-hasenhuttl-slams-goalkeeper-alex-mccarthy-injury/

Classic small man syndrome.
