That’s exactly what’s happening.

No way it was a penalty. Fuck me, some of our supporters need to man up. Red card for Moore, Penalty. Load of old pony, it’s a physical game ffs

My first thought was why didn’t he stay on his feet instead of being such a soft arse.

Our centre halves need to head the fucking ball, or ant least stay strong, and stop flinging themselves to the ground every time Moore challenges them. This isn’t the Premier league, they’re not getting a foul FFS

Was that the same Wigan that beat Man City the previous round?

I was interested in these to maybe help offset the energy costs of our hot tub. , but later heard that the ROI is a lot longer than they claim. The conservative estimate is 8-10 years in a south facing garden, not the 6 some are claiming. I couldn’t believe the savings we’ve made since moving from 2 petrol cars to 2 EV’s, so would be up for anything that reduces the bills, but the timescales are a bit of a push. The final nail in the coffin is the grandchildren kicking a ball round in the garden, as one has the shooting accuracy of Adam Armstrong.

How many plod does it take to police the London marathon anyway. Unless there’s a few instances of misgendering a couple of runners in the birds race, there’s not going to be many arrests. I doubt if there will be anything kicking off.,

Looked like Baz with the goal though

Derby earn a corner from the right and Stoke keeper Gavin Bazunu tentatively parries it out to Patrick Agyemang but the American striker can not capitalise.

AI reckons we’ll be Sat 5.30pm

Knock knock Whose there? Bor Bor who Bor ing,

😂 What a cock. What happened last year then? The only thing which makes the FA Cup such a great tournament and different from pretty much any other is the David V Goliath nature of it. The giant killings, the second division teams wining it. The best thing for the FA cup “brand “ is Southampton or Leeds reaching the final and winning it. Why on earth would they rig it to make it like every other competition in the world. Somd of you embarrassing yourselves and throwing your toys out of the pram because a 25% chance happened. #Nods

We ain’t half got some Noddy fans, it’s not a fix FFS

Fucking sending off 😂😂😂 People need to give their head a wobble….

There’s a decent show on Prime at the moment, it’s about a hitman with early stages dementia (not a great career if you keep forgetting things) . Can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s well worth a viewing.

Looks like it can only be the Tuesday/Weds following Derby I think.

Every single player was magnificent, every one played at the level they are capable of and it was a throughly deserved victory. I can’t remember too many games where you couldn’t look at anyone and say “he was slightly off today”, but today was one of those. The big thing Tonda got right was the mental attitude, Managers talk about concentrating on one game at a time, but rarely do. To me we went into this game with the attitude that this was a one off, rather than “let’s do our best, but we’ve got a big game Tuesday”. Whereas they defo had a one eye on Tuesday vibe. Whilst they all put in great performances, I thought Tom Fellowes deserves a special mention, he’s been off it a bit lately, but he was superb and it can’t be easy to play against such a good side when you’re in a bit of a dip. I’ll tell you who else looks a different player, Wood. He was a disaster waiting to happen week in week out, but he looks a decent player now and he hasn’t had that much game time.

It’s not just the back 4 he’s imposed himself on, it’s the whole team. The corner at the end summed it up for me, he was into their half shouting at us to keep it in the corner, as it genuinely looked like we were going to cross it into the middle. We actually might well have done as the attempt to hold the ball there lasted all of about 3 seconds 😂, but that’s beside the point. Baz would have stood there ghost like, whilst he’s involved with every aspect of the game. Class act…

Why luck? Fair play to SR for identifying his talent, getting him into the club and then promoting him when Still left the club (which 99.99% of the fan base wouldn’t have done). It’s still early days but it’s looking like an inspired choice on a par with Cortese picking Poch to take over from Nigel.

We don’t elect PM’s, so they’re all “unelected”.

Cheers Soggy, I was wondering what Aljazeera would make of this historic event. Thanks for saving me the time of looking it up, well appreciated….

Look at this Nod, fuck me. I’ve seen lots of amateur players of his age playing 5 a side, and they look like older versions of how they played. This bloke must of been absolutely fucking pony in his “prime”. Although he may have lacked a bit of subtlety, at least Boris had a bit of coordination and didn’t run like a constipated duck.

I think not appointing a mate of a nonce as US ambassador would have been one thing I may have wanted by now. Perhaps not having an MP beat up a constituent, isn’t unreasonable. After spending hours criticising the tories for cronyism maybe having a rich donor buy the PM’s Mrs’ clothes and taking truck load of freebies should have been avoided . I think everyone accepts increasing NI on business was a mistake and has driven up unemployment. So from the first budget it’s been obvious Reeves is out of her depth. The economy will take years to turn round, but decisions they made, have made it even longer. You couldn’t make it up, The minister in charge of housing, resigned over property taxes, the anti corruption minister resigned over… corruption. The transport minister resigned over a stolen phone, (another one). Surely, thinking they wouldn’t be as bad as the Tories isn’t unreasonable. When the simple truth is they’ve been just as incompetent, just as sleazy, just as fucking useless. The only difference is The Tories took a few years to get there, these chumps have done it in double quick time. As this is a reform thread, I look forward to you giving Nigel a similar amount of time when he rides into town, to clear up The Uniparty mess

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.
