  1. Do you really think that going carbon neutral is going to make a significant difference? There's a lot more to it than that.
  2. Do you really thnk tha going carbon neutral is going to make a significant difference?
  3. Whee does democracy come in all this? Or does your view override everybody else in the country?
  4. If he comes out expecting to catch a ball headed back to him and Bednarek just leaves it the who’s at fault? There’s another fundamental rule for a centre back: don’t let the ball bounce.
  5. We were in Washington a couple of weeks ago and wanted to see the White House. You can’t get within nearly half a mile of it because they’ve surrounded it with a perimeter fence. Apparently Trump is afraid of protesters.
  6. “And the winner is...” And they tell you thirty seconds later.
  7. Was responsible for the deflection for Kante’s shot for their third goal. He turned away from it and looked the other way. If he’d kept looking at the ball the deflection wouldn’t have happened.
  8. There’s no movement amongst our players, they all stand there hoping they don’t get given the ball. They need to create their own space, but they don’t even try.
  9. He plays behind a different defence every game. There’s no consistency or defined format. What errors were they? (and I’ve played a lot of Sunday morning football in my time) The calamity against Bournemouth was mainly due to Bednarek letting the ball bounce.
  10. We holiday all over the world and people love the Premier League. When I ask them which team they support or follow it’ Always Liverpool, or Man Utd, or Arsenal... Sky have a lot to answer for. They’ve ruined the competitive structure of our top-flight football.
  11. Too many defensive changes, every game it’s different players in a different formation.
  12. We are still suffering from the bloated squad resulting from the last few managers. Unfortunately we have got rid of the players that were wanted by other clubs and we are left with the ones we couldn’t sell or loan.
  13. We all have our different opinions of course but on the one hand you’re saying that he stays on his line too much yet on the other you are blaming him for the first?
  14. It would probably have made no difference. He came out as far as he could and you might argue that he should have stayed back in goal but then Abrahams could just have slotted it past him. The indecision came because the ball landed on the edge of the penalty area and Abraham’s got lucky with the lob. On balance of probable outcomes he probably made the right decision to come out. All told it was a bit of a fluke. For the second he was horribly exposed and I don’t see what more he could have done. We were comfortably beaten by a team who didn’t have to break into a sweat.
  15. Yep, that’s where we belong. More games and 3 o’clock kickoffs on a Saturday. What’s not to like? Yes, I know there are sometimes odd kickoff times but in general they’re more friendly.
  16. Yep. Starts with the wrong formation. Again. We were never going to beat Chelsea by trying to hold onto the ball and pass it around at the back. No point making substitutions with only ten minutes left.
  17. Gunn wasn’t the reason we lost today. I don’t know what game you were all watching. He had no chance with any of the goals, made one good save with his leg and held on to everything else that was fired at him.
  18. A midfield trio of Romeu, Højbjerg, and JWP is never going to set the world alight. Too ponderous, slow to control the ball and poor passing. No spirit, no ambition, no plan.
  19. My eldest granddaughter has recently graduated and my second-oldest has just started her course and is getting plastered every weekend. I'm not really jealous.
  20. This is not about what happened in the past but about what will happen in the future.
  21. When you’re at a meeting and you realise that you’re the oldest person in the room. This started happening to me some twenty years ago. But you’re not really old until everybody ignores you and you become invisible. Hello? Anybody out there?
  22. We have to balance the failures with the financial successes. Sure, we have signed a lot of players who have not turned out as well as had been hoped but we have also made some profits on sales. Much of the waste can be put down to the high turnover of managers each with their different playing styles and preferences.
  23. Not the same club though, is it.
  24. Mata wouldn’t just have got a cross in. He would have waltzed through the back of the defence and had a much closer opportunity on goal. There was nobody behind Cedric.
  25. They can’t until they take the Oath of Allegiance.
