The Kraken

Absolutely pathetic. It was a shambles of an opening 15 than that. Fuck off with this.

Jesus, another corner another clearance and Smallbone chasing it back with two attackers up his chuff. Clearly a managerial tactic, it’s fucking dopey.

The forum performing brilliant as usual on match time. Stick another 50p in the meter Ffs. Saints learning no lessons, had a corner cleared and Smallbone last one back almost let them have a 1 v 1. We are just so fucking easy to play through.

Jesus fucking Christ. Hopeless.

Would’ve preferred Charles and Downes at CM but no other real options so the line up makes a bit of sense, Janny B must still be injured. Also I see Edozie as impact sub but Sulemana obviously isn’t in favour.

No, it really isn’t.

And, quite frankly, thank fuck.

You’ve simply got to admire an 11 year old bump.

That’s the one. They decimated us that game. Speed’s goal from 55 seconds.

Yeah surely it’s this. Sean Dyche used to do similar when at Burnley, lived with his family in Northamptonshire but shared a flat locally with Ian Woan that they stayed at during the week.

That’s the players sure, I imagine the manager and coaches are in earlier than that and stay a bit later. Still not a 9-5 of course but jeez, that’s a lot of driving to be doing a few days a week.

Interesting that he lives in Hove, according to google maps it’s 1hr 45m to Marchwood. Fuck that for a commute.

Tbf he’s been consistent in his slating, he started soiling his underwear about RM after our first league game. Which we won, strangely enough.

Dunk was quality tonight. Can only hope Stones gets back soon and that becomes our CB partnership. It won’t though, Southgate is too stubborn for that.

Ffs 🤣🤣 Just fuck off southgate you stubborn cunt.

Thank god Harry Maguire got some game time. I’d have hated to see Colwill or Tomori getting some more England experience.

He definitely is but up to the goals I thought he’d been a bit off it (by his standards). He’s clearly a generational talent, just supreme ability, but I’m not sure yet where’s most effective. I think he suits perfectly an old fashioned number 8 in a 442 where he can get the ball and drive with it; but nobody plays that these days. This 10 role he’s in is the next best I suppose. But yes, 100% better than against Ukraine which was a bit of a bizarre system all round.

Why do they regret having the jab? What reason(s) did they give to you? Interested to understand this better because I’ve never heard anyone say this before myself.

The laws have changed. A number of times. They’ve changed immeasurably over the past 30 years. And even more so, as I have said, since the interpretation of VAR offside has been adapted after it was brought in over the past few years.

He’s not wrong though.

Tbf it’s not down to 1mm any more. This article sums up the modifications they’ve made since it was brought in, including increasing the tolerances and also the camera angles as you mention (also the camber of the pitch). https://www.premierleague.com/news/1488423 I’ll be the first to admit it’s still an imperfect system, especially so as it’s got English officials administering it and they’re amongst the worst in the business. But it’s more accurate than not having it. I absolutely understand the argument that it fragments the game and detracts from celebrations, it absolutely does do that.

But now it can be judged to a much more accurate standard, just like GLT. So it is. Times changes, things move on.

What the fuck is this nonsense doing stinking up the main bored?

This team’s not far off, but I’d prefer to see Maddison and Rice in the centre, Rashford out on the left. Just let Bellingham play in a free role as the 10, he’s utterly ridiculous. Henderson has had his uses in the past but he’s a plodder and you need something more against teams like Ukraine who will set themselves up with two solid banks of defence and midfield.

As of this rugby World Cup I’m adding…….choirs or singers who ruin a national anthem. Last night France’s wonderful La Marseillaise was absolutely butchered by a choir leading it at the Stade de France. Earlier in St Etienne, Italy’s anthem was reduced to a screeching racket by a similar high pitched choir. Get rid of this nonsense, it just needs a brass band and the crowd.
