hypochondriac

Why do people say things like this? Bazunu was awful last year. It is absolutely correct that he is young and has a lot of potential to improve and be really good. It is a fact that he should not have been our first choice last year. No one has difficulty understanding that he may improve to the point that he could be our first choice in the prem. He was just awful last year and it largely wasn't his fault. He should never have been put in that position.

Should all professions match the reality of our society? (if that is what he's saying, I'm not sure that it was.) I think it's a pertinent fact to consider the motivations behind almost every advert having mixed race families in them. At best it's a little odd.

Lots of people get annoyed that historical figures that we know what they looked like are portrayed as a different ethnicity in a show that is at least partially about educating. I'd feel the same way if Newton was black and lmayed by a white actor. Not that I watch doctor who anyway so it largely doesn't matter.

I have never complained about it myself as I don't really watch TV ads, but I believe the line of argument is not that black and brown people exist in TV ads, it's that the number of families containing individuals of mixed races is vastly disproportionate to reality to the extent that all white families are rarely if ever featured in TV adverts. Again, it's not something I particularly care about, but it's worth being accurate.

It's just some pathetic moneymaking scam. If they were truly worried and cared they'd do things very differently. Nice for politicians to have another jolly though.

I would suggest that Harwood Bellis has had the biggest impact. Not sure we will ever know the true extent of the influence of a coach but it's a good problem to be discussing!

Fair play to Eastleigh.

Hopefully get to 50 by the new year.

We certainly had a much more varied attacking group. Attacking signing needed in January for definite.

Yep. Also Mayuka and Tadanari Lee.

Agreed. He's the kind of player in our championship promotion year we would have had to bolster the squad and not to start.

He is a kid in fairness. I think Martin is right to be a bit miffed at his lack of flowing instructions. He's clearly incredibly talented and if he can focus his attributes on helping the team the other day he should tear up the league.

Certainly didn't miss him today. If anything we were better without him.

Is this the most points the top 4 have had at this stage of the season? I bet it is. Almost two points a game and nowhere close to automatic. Dispiriting.

I too would like an answer to this one

I'd love Adams to step up and have a good game today. He owes us a performance.

Absolutely ridiculous that Bree isn't playing. Hasn't really put a foot wrong.

Imagibe going into work and worrying about the ethnicity of the people you work with and for. I've worked with some absolute pricks of all nationalities and some incredible people who are white, black and everything in between. What a sad life it must be to be affected by someone's skin colour to the extent that it makes you unhappy if they aren't the same shade as you.

I laughed more than I should at that nickname. Very good.

We had the pick of the players at this level and with the money we brought in. I don't understand why we would take a gamble. Let's say we just lose out on promotion, this could well have been the difference.

You never want any injuries but if we have to have some then Sulemana and Stewart are two that will have much less impact than other players. We have capable deputies in Edozie and Amo Ameyew and Stewart hasn't done anything this year anyway so won't be missed.

We would get absolutely destroyed in the prem and ship a ton of goals. IMO we would need New GK New CB/ Bednarek replacement New LB Armstrong replacement Striker x2 first 11: New GK KWP THB new CB New LB Downes New DM New RM Sulemana Alcaraz New striker So that's at least six players for the starting 11 and maybe replace Sulemana as well.

Fair enough. Should have signed a non-injured striker then.

Isn't it pretty common for a different muscle injury to occur when recovering from a serious injury? Hopefully just a week or two but either way, it was a silly gamble we didn't need to take.

Just seen that Ipswich has Leeds and Leicester either side of Christmas back to back. If we can keep pace with all of those teams then that period is crucial. Win and we will be making up ground on some of them.
