When people post “Corruption from top officials seems to be less widespread and obvious.” I tend to stop reading because it’s biased in the extreme. How many ministers have resigned, how many freebies have they had, how many phones have been “stolen”. The NHS is no better round here, it’s still impossible to see a Dr and it’s still 8 hours + in A&E, the police are still laughable absent. Youth unemployment is only heading one way, and that is a direct result of a labour policy. Illegal immigration is still out of control . If there were signs of improvement, the public would give him a chance and Labour MP’s wont ditch him. We’ll see what the public make of the “improvements” in May. When he’s ditched, you’ll all change your tune and make out he was the problem, when the reality is, it’s the high tax, high spend, lefty policies from them (and the Tory party) which are the issue. We’ve reached the stage where Government spending is just one big Ponzi scheme, where the next 2 generations will pay for our soft arsed leftie Governments.

It’s been a complete shit show, you’re comparing 14 years of Tory rule with 14 months of these chumps. I’m no fan of Cameron & Clegg, but 14 months into their term was immeasurably more competent and less sleazy. God help us if we have 14 years of this. People keep banging on about liz Truss, but they ditched her pretty damn quick and Hunt reversed her budget measures in double quick time. To be this unpopular, to have this many scandals, this many cock ups, less than 2 years after a landslide is unbelievable. The British people are fair minded, that’s why they gave Johnny Major his own mandate, if they genuinely thought Starmer was a decent honest bloke doing a great job turning round a difficult situation, hed have better poll ratings. He wouldn’t be pushed around by his back benchers and they wouldn’t be facing wipeout in Scotland, Wales and the locals. This isn’t some “far right” narrative, isn’t some media driven storm. People think he’s incompetent, think he’s a sleazy bullshitter, and unlike Boris, they don’t like him. If Nigel Farage led a Government which had exactly the same scandals as this one some posters on here would need sectioning for their mental wellbeing. I don’t believe there’s one Starmer supporter on here who ever thought he’d be this bad, not one.

Documentary of the great man in the decade after The Beatles split is on prime at the moment. Watched it last night. Have read Tom Doyle’s book of the same title, which covers the same period & it’s a bit more of a friendlier portrayal than the book. Covers the period from split to Jail & John’s death . Goes a bit easier on the arguments with Lennon & the others, but still a decent showcase of his talent. Far & away the best period of his solo career, when he was despised by a lot of the music press, but actually did some interesting stuff (alongside some pony)

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.
