He must spend ours a day searching the internet for things that backhim up. Im always amused by the opinion pieces he tries to pass off as fact.

Perhaps or could also highlight how far out of your depth you are as you never get a kick. Technique, match intelligence, skill can all be taught and learnt IMO. It has to start when their young though, Arsne Wenger ones said if you get to 14 and you have no technical ability forget it you will never play at a good level. It also does come down to practice and reps. Kids dont want to practice technique, they want to be playing matches and shooting, a lot of them get bored with the futsal program we do because it's lots and lots of reps, they do it for a year improve loads then quit the very thing that got them better in the first place because they and sometimes their parents cant see what good it's doing for them and think it's boring. Some of the girls are technically better than the boys at the ages we're at and it's no coincidence that the best technical player in our group is a girl and she practises every night. Her dad told me he had to put a light on the driveway during winter as whatever the weather shes out there, her dad isn't interested in football at all he's a rugby man. Some of the critics of the Futsal scheme we do use the "you'd never do that in a match" line no you wouldn't but if you can control a ball 50 times in a row with the outside of your weaker foot doing keep ups, then you'll be able to do it 2-3 times you need during a match and give you that advantage over the other players who cant do it, not mention what it's doing for muscle memory, balance, co-ordination and so on. it's a fact that if you're born in the first quarter of a school year your chances of being picked up by a team are significantly higher than if you're born later in the year. I assume because at the ages of 6,7 and 8 when kids are being picked up these days 6 months is a big difference at that age. Then you're given better coaching, more development than kids who might only be a few months younger. Connections is a big factor too. My son is friends with a current premier league players youngest brother, no surprises he's been scouted despite not really standing out right now. Hes also at school with two kids who are twins, their grandad is an ex-pro Premier league player and Scotland international and they're now at in the academies of clubs he played at, different ones too which must be a logistical nightmare for the parents. One of them is outstanding, if you were going to put your money on anyone making it it'll be him, the other one whilst decent again doesn't really stand out at the moment but i guess clubs are prepared to take the risk on him rather than a complete unknown. Then there is two other issues, parents and size and IMO the two go hand in hand. Big kids who aren't as good still get the nod over smaller kids at the moment and parents who dont really understand what's going on and wonder why their kid who is physically an early bloomer so often twice the size of other kids, but not a good footballer just dont see it. They dont realise they might look great now because they 11 but look 15 and can bully their way through match because they're currently bigger, stronger and faster but come the time they're 15 and everyone else is the same size they'll be miles behind because they still cant kick a ball properly.

Whilst we're talking about players who are limited technically it's also worth remember that everyone of these has technique that most of us can only dream of. As some as you will know i am involved in youth football, my son has attended a futsal training sessions since he was 8 where all the focus is on technique, some of the kids even at at 11,12, can do stuff with a ball which you're amazed at skills and touches with all parts of the foot, laces, inside, outside, control it dead with their first touch at the sky every time and these kids aren't even in academies. They have a program they work through with individual challenges and when they finish the highest level it the head coach says they will have a world class first touch and technique. The critics say it's all just doing keep ups but as the coaches will tell you a bricklayers becomes a good bricklayer because they spend 5 years learning the trade laying bricks everyday. Same with football, you get good at it by getting meaning full reps in over and over again, the boring stuff some dont want to do after a while separates the good from the very good. The coaches have all completed it and are brilliant technical players but "only" playing at a good non league standard (conference north level) there are some current professionals playing in all 4 leagues that have completed it too but that just shows how good these technically poor players actually are.

In a month?

doesn't stay long anywhere does he.

I'd disagree with that. He was a good footballer but not a good finisher. His touch, control, strength were very good, he could certainly striker a ball too but the problem was his finishes wasn't great. Long and Ormerod on the other were quick, hard working but pretty limited footballers.

It wasnt just VVD and Fonte too, in the summer he lost Mane and Pelle who were our two leading scorers, and Wanyama who at the time was one of the best CDMs in the league. The spine of Koemans team was gone and replaced with Boufal, Austin, Stephens, Yoshida, Redmond and Hojbjerg. Huge downgrades. Plus he also had the Europa league campaign the contend with meaning 6 more games in the first half of the season. This myth that he played for 0-0s is something that's been created on here by people who had been spoilt by the years before him.

By the way and im sure no one really cares but for the only time I will put right his lie about why i "got myself banned" from TUI which he has repeated over and over again for years Many years ago (during covid times) There was an issue with another poster on there who had multiple logins and generally was a massive bellend. He caused an absolute shit storm for reasons only he will know as to why he did it but i wont go into details as to all the ins and outs as its no one elses business but lets just say it went way beyond forum banter. Anyway, it was agreed with the admin that we would delete my user name (and a few other peoples too) and i'd come back on a week later or so later with a new login. I left it a couple of weeks and decided not to bother going back as didn't need the hassle given it's only a football forum with about 20 regular posters. It was a shame as at its height TUI was brilliant with some stuff that had me in tears with laughter and it's dull as fuck now, so the guy got what we wanted and ruined the forum. As i say im sure no one gives a shit, it was 5 years ago and i wont mention it again but he keeps peddling this lie over and over again for years when he has no idea what happened but keeps making out he does and that it's some sort of power over me (interestingly another trait of a narcissist!)

This thread is a classic example. He initially used it as some sort of evidence that I’m an Andrew Tate supporter, completing missing this thread is taking the piss out of Andrew Tate. After making himself look incredibly stupid there he then bumps it 3 weeks later to continue his accusations of narcissism against me. Then again after I’ve ignored him for a week or so bumps it again now playing the victim. Poor old Sog, just wants to be left alone. Along with the lies he continues to spout it’s Classic attention seeking behaviour that he’s displayed over and over again, either to thick or too arrogant to see the irony of it all that his displaying the exact characteristics of what he accuses others of all the time.

worrying that the first thought of the GP was to prescribe anti depressants. Sadly though this is something that appears to be happening more and more. Look at diabetes too costs the NHS billions but very little advice on fixing the root cause, instead they'll give pills to fix the symptoms.

It’s a doctor I follow on Instagram who posts a lot of stuff around health and diet I’ll try and find some more details

I think it might be the other way round pal 😂😂

Okay pal

I doubt we are run by dictators who tell you what to do. It isn’t the days when cortese employed you as a grass

maybe Back to the Future 2 was more accurate than we thought, Biff is incredibly like Trump

he's worked for the club for years so probably a long time. That dry cleaning isn't going to collect itself.

Forest somehow beat Man City with only 30% possession on saturday, They also won at Anfield with only 30% possession. Forest fans must be fucking hating it.

He also failed to beat Ipswich in 3 attempts whilst Juric has won every single game against them. This picking one off result is a piece of piss hun.

Mark Zuckerberg says Meta was ‘pressured’ by Biden administration to censor Covid-related content in 2021 | CNN Business Zuckerberg also said he was pressured to sensor Covid content too, maybe there was something in it?

One of the most amusing times was when he did that and mine was the top post of the broken thread, Sad Old Fascist went into a rant about me being a narcissist again and starting a new self important thread, look at me etc, too dense to realise Lighthouse had started the new thread. 😂
