I look closer to home if I was you, looks like you’ve taken your eye off the ball. . She defo needs a bit of retraining to get back on track.

Another vote for the Arsenal last game one for me. Iconic, summed the man up. Was clearly not really fit, from memory hadn’t scored many that season, sent on as a romantic gesture, just saw a glimmer of an opportunity to write his own headline, and smashed in an absolute belter. Genius summed up, it’s not just about ability, it’s about producing it at the most dramatic moment.

Peretz for Baz is clearly one of the biggest upgrades I can remember. The only one that comes close in the last few years was Ramsdale for Baz…

I find a lot of the new stuff a right load of old pony. Even stuff you think looks promising ends up being so exaggerated it gets ridiculous or the characters become parodies of themselves. Tommy Shelby was one, that Mobland was another. They also have contrived endings which leaves open a second season. Look at the end of Long Good Friday (I know it’s a film), but a modern series ending would have Bob Hoskins miraculously fighting off 4 men and escaping from the car for season 2. That boxing one was another right old load of pony after a promising start, although it ticked a lot of boxes including an upper class black bird hanging around with royalty, and a bird leading a ruthless gang of birds. One that did just about stay the right side of the line was Steal, which I found flicking through Prime. Ok, the white copper was a bad un, & the reason for the theft was leftie pony, but it just about got away with it. It was quite enjoyable…

After yesterday, I assumed they did.

Peretz saves at least one of them, probably both. If you think Baz couldn’t have done any better you’re deluded. Why are you still defending the bloke, when it’s been proven he was sub standard and a better keeper has got us up the league.

Just a routine win against an incredibly poor side. 2 early goals just killed the game and their game plan stone dead. Just managed the game after that, and apart from one moment, never looked in any doubt. Had we needed 4 or 5 goals, we’d have got them, as it was, the priority was just getting through the game with the least amount of effort with no injuries or stupid red cards. All achieved, a run out for Ross & a little bit of rebuilding Archers confidence by giving him a start. Apart from other results around us, a good day all round. “Player” of the match, a hard one to pick, but I’ll probably go for Manning.

Makes sense, there’s probably zero chance he’ll want to play in the championship next season. The way he’s playing for us, he’ll get a starting gig in one of Europe’s top leagues, even if it’s one of the weaker leagues like France ,or Holland. It will be interesting what we do if promoted because we’ll need to either shift Ramsdale or not take up his option. Alfie House has consistently said Newcastle won’t take up their option on Ramsdale, but maybe that will change the more he plays and the further nick pope declines. Personally, I’d prefer DP on a new 4 year deal, than Ramsdale for 2. I think he’s mentally stronger & better with his feet, without being particularly worse as a shot stopper. Remember, as well as Ramsdale played in our relegation season, he didn’t impose his mentality on the team the way DP has.

Went on too long…Became boring in the end.

You made yourself look a right cock….

You’re right in a way, he wasn’t shite every game. Shite was him in form, most of the time he was worse.

So fucking what. It’s not like you’ll get chucked into jail for not paying for it, or have to pay for it to watch another channel.,If you don’t like it, don’t fucking watch it…

That’s a good result. I thought Norwich were a good side, they found some lovely pockets of space around our box, and played some nice angled balls into them. They had a bit of dog about them as well, very physical. Kenny McLean was the best outfield player in the pitch, imo, really made them tick. So to get out of there with a win, was a fantastic achievement and really showed how our mentality has come on in leaps and bounds. Big big statement, just need to dispatch Oxford Sat now.

We’d have gone up automatically last time if we had a decent keeper, as it was we only made it through the play offs because Baz got injured. There’s not many times when football arguments are settled conclusively, but this is one which has been. The people defending Baz were totally and utterly wrong, he was as bad as some of us thought, and we have a lot more points because he’s gone.

What are you on about. It’s a man’s game, there was hardly a bad challenge all night. Man up.

Wolves fans are probably thinking what we were when he smashed one in on his debut at Everton. Once they get used to his Warwick Davies like heading ability, missed chances galore, and lack of ball control, they’ll soon get over it.

You’re fucking kidding me. I thought he was an arrogant cock, but this is taking it to ridiculous levels.

They’ve more chance of winning the champions league than the premier league, less games to win 🤣

Personally, I think this is pony. We have to beat the best side in the country, then maybe the second, third or 4th.

Baz like keeping there…

I find him so frustrating, he plays some beautiful passes, drifts into space, plays on the half turn and can have a brilliant touch. But he gives the ball away a lot, and unlike Le Tiss or Tadic, he doesn’t give it away by trying something difficult or high risk, he gives it away doing simple stuff. One minute he picks a great pass, the next he’s got a really easy pass and he doesn’t make it. One minute he takes a good touch in a difficult situation, the next it bounces off him when he’s under no particular pressure. I guess if he didn’t have these flaws he wouldn’t be playing for us, but fuck me it’s infuriating.

Is this what qualifies for analysis nowadays, peak fucking Nod. What with Clinton fucking Morrison & the dopey birds, a dedicated sports broadcaster, dumbing down sports broadcasting.

I don’t take back anything . He was awful for a long spell this season, his attitude stunk and he didn’t appear to want to be here. He was too negative and his constant sideways and backwards ball recycling was damaging the team and reminding me of Lego ball. I would also question his commitment on occasions. Whether it’s down to him, the new manager, or better health & mental wellbeing, or a combination of all three, but he’s a completely different player now. I would have fucked him off in Jan, but luckily more qualified people than me make those decisions. Personally , I didn’t think he would come good, and I was wrong about that. However, as well as he’s playing now, it still doesn’t alter the fact he was fucking abysmal earlier in the season.

You gotta laugh. Every time we lose, there’s complaints about the opposition, or referee or some other conspiracy against us. Yet as soon as other supporters do exactly the same, they’re “entitled twats” 😂. Just imagine those 2 challenges being on Azaz & Leo in the Wrexham game, the nods would be going nuts. On the whole Coventry are a decent bunch, one eyed like 99% of supporters, but they deserve this success more than most in this league. As for the incidents THB was embarrassing, I thought Downes was trying to protect the ball, so give him the benefit of the doubt. The other one I’m not so sure, from memory, Matsuki does have a history of clumsy challenges. Their one, again probably give the bloke benefit of the doubt. Penalty, defo, Charles needs to look at himself a bit there. Needed to be careful and focused in that moment, bit too causal for me. East one to give at 2-0, might have thought twice if 1-0….

With Lego head thinking we could outplay the league we were. Tonda says he wanted experienced players in Jan, players who had played in various other leagues, he wanted Bree involved. What happened, he got them. Why didn’t lego, the bloke who praised Archer, said if he didn’t have Baz would want to sign him, do similar. The manger isn’t some innocent bystander, he’s an integral part of recruitment. Do people really believe SR suddenly decided to loan Baz out, get an experienced big man up top in, and not send Bree back to Charlton, without any prompting from Tonda, that it would of happened regardless of who was manager. The “domed before we started” line of thought has been discredited by Leeds, Sunderland & Burnley, 2 of whom may well go down. But they’ll go down fighting, not being a total embarrassment. Let’s not forget, Tonda has beaten as many Premier league teams as Lego already.
