It's you that went off on a Wood and Romeu tangent. It was a strange point which completely overlooked that Baz has been crap throughout most of his time here. I commented on what you said, so I'm not sure why you're banging on to me about crisp packet wrists etc. The 2 years ago Vs Kelvin in 2012 comparison is desperate. He's shit. I don't understand the unwillingness to just accept that and move on, but each to their own.

Yep. What makes it even better is Charles waiting for the bobble to go out of the pass. He'd have hit it earlier if not. Phenomenal goal.

So Baz would have been brilliant if Wood and Romeu weren't in the team? Right you are. I know football fans will never agree on everything, but it should be universally acknowledged that Baz was a disaster and has finally been upgraded.

I love these Aussie takes. Always bang on: 'Thank You For Your Attention to This Matter: A Senile Man Declares Economic War on Planet Earth Let me get this straight because I'm about to book a trip to a different gene pool. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. Oil is $108 a barrel. Gas in the US has jumped 93 cents a gallon in 3 weeks. The global economy is bleeding from every artery. And this senile fucking game show host just posted on Truth Social, at 7:44pm on a Saturday night from his golf resort, that he's going to blow up Iran's power plants. All of them. Starting with the biggest one first. "Thank you for your attention to this matter." Like it's a fucking strata notice about bins. Let's talk about what this drooling strategist apparently doesn't understand. Iran has roughly 400 power plants. You know what runs on power? Refineries. Pumping stations. Pipeline infrastructure. The entire oil and gas production chain that produces around 3 million barrels a day for the global market. You want the Strait open so oil flows again? Fantastic. So your plan is to destroy the infrastructure that PRODUCES the oil that flows through the Strait? That's like burning down the brewery because the pub's closed. Even if Iran surrenders tomorrow. Even if they open Hormuz by Monday morning and wave through every tanker with a little flag and a complimentary baklava. You've just told the world you're going to flatten the energy grid of OPEC's third largest producer. Rebuilding a power plant takes 3 to 5 years minimum. Refineries without power don't refine. Wells without power don't pump. You're not just talking about a temporary disruption. You're talking about removing millions of barrels of production capacity from the global market for the better part of a decade. Oil won't go back to $70. It won't go back to $90. You've just baked in $100+ oil for years. Maybe permanently. And that's before we talk about the retaliation Iran just promised. They've already said if their energy infrastructure gets hit, every US-linked energy asset, desalination plant and IT system in the Gulf gets targeted. Saudi Aramco. Qatari LNG terminals. UAE refineries. The entire energy architecture of the Middle East, up in smoke. This isn't a military strategy. This is a 79 year old man with a phone and a Diet Coke threatening to set the global economy on fire because nobody will do what he says. Winston Churchill studied maps. He agonised over Gallipoli for the rest of his life because he understood what it meant to get it wrong. Truman dropped the bomb and then couldn't sleep. MacArthur, for all his ego, understood supply lines, logistics, the difference between destroying an enemy and destroying yourself in the process. This bloke can't find Iran on a map. He thinks "strategic" is a brand of vodka. Friday he said the war was winding down. Friday night. "Getting very close to meeting our objectives." Twenty four hours later he's threatening to plunge 90 million civilians into darkness and crash the global energy market for a generation. And the sign off. The fucking sign off. "Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP." Mate. You're threatening to commit what most of the planet would consider a war crime against civilian infrastructure, and you've formatted it like a letter from your accountant. The man who said "we don't even use the Strait" is now threatening to blow up the entire energy grid of a sovereign nation because the Strait isn't open. The man who promised cheap gas is presiding over the fastest fuel price spike in American history. The man who said the war was won is now issuing 48 hour ultimatums from a beach club in Palm Beach. This isn't 4D chess. This isn't even checkers. This is a toddler flipping the board because he's losing and screaming that he won. Meanwhile, back in the real world, Australia has about 50 seconds of fuel reserves left. We refine almost nothing domestically. Our entire economy runs on imported diesel. And the bloke with his finger on the button just threatened to make the global oil crisis permanent. But sure. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We're all paying fucking attention now.'

I don't think it'll be that close, but the Charlton and West Brom draws will make a difference one way or another.

And Morgan and Meghoma in the under 20's.

It's not happening. The FA cup run, as great as it is, means we'll be playing catch up with game on top of game. I'd have laughed if someone told me 6th was a possibility when Tonda came in, and I'd be delighted with that.

We watched it this evening. Really underwhelmed - too many characters missing, and Duke wasn't strong enough for me. Decent soundtrack though.

Stand

Yep, 8 off with 21 to play off. We may regret a few lost leads come the end of the season.

I think Azaz will play inside left ish in possession, and hold the left side out of possession. A sort of 4132/442

Yep. Looks like an old skool big/small combination to me.

I've given myself 30 lashes mate.

Brilliant until series 4, but 5 was so so, and 6 really tailed off. I'm hoping the film will be good, but got breaking bad movie vibes.
