Baz has cost us more points than any other player, no doubt about it. There are other problems, but he’s the biggest.
-
Roy Keane makes a similar point. Don’t judge teams against big clubs, the players have to give 100% other they’ll lose by 7 or 8 and get humiliated. They all try against the best because they’ll be embarrassed otherwise. Judge them in games against sides around them.
-
Are you being ironic? Nearly every week, Baz let’s a soft goal in, and every time you blame somebody else. As pointed out earlier, a decent keeper saves that regardless of poor defending. Other sides have poor defenders, yet their keeper bails them out. If you shoot you, score pretty much every time against Baz.

Of course Unionists won’t vote to join the Republic, the clue is in the name. The direction of travel is clear, they’ll be outnumbered eventually. Catholics outnumbered Protestants at the last census, they’re rapidly heading towards a majority. Add to that immigrants who I presume will vote in a Border poll, and it’s inevitable that eventually a majority of NI will want to be part of a United Ireland in the EU.
-
NI will join the Republic, its just a question of when. The deal pre Brexit didn’t work for the rest of The UK, they wanted to leave the EU. The paramilitaries can’t have a veto over whether we can or can’t leave, so we’re left with 3 options. A proper border, NI remaining in the SM or RUK remaking in SM. The 4th option is a fudge (which is exactly what the GF agreement is),and neither side seems prepared to go down that route at the moment.

It’s simple. Jones’ team were in charge for Brighton, Fulham, Forest, Villa, Brentford , & the second half against Wolves. The “brilliant “ RS the rest of the time. Do try and keep up.

I saw that, it was from their corner. , Sulemana was in a good position to break away. Somebody, I think it was Armstrong, then lost the ball, before it was won back quickly and a ball knocked into channel. I did’t think it was a lack of effort, more the lack of anticipation. He stopped moving once he thought the counter had broken down, so wasn’t ready seconds later when we got it back.
-
Don’t talk pony man. He was only “frozen out” when we lost. City, Palace & Everton he was at the forefront of our tactics, and Wolves he was only “frozen out” at halftime.
-
There should’t be a border because it should be one country. The issue isn’t Brexit, it predates that by decades, the issue is trying to create a artificial divide on the Island. The sooner reunification happens the better.

I don’t agree he hides, he’s one of the ones that doesn’t. He just doesn’t get time & space because of his lack of pace. Passing the ball is a skill. Playing the wrong ball is a lack of intelligence, making the right pass badly is the lack of ability. His touch is good, his passing is ok but he’s limited by having no acceleration or movement when on the ball. He must be easy to play against because you can always get back in, he can never “leave you for dead”. I can see why managers pick him, not that I agree with it, but can see why. It’s the age old struggling managers trait. They know what they’ll get with him, he’ll hold his position defensively & follow instructions to the letter. It’s damning on other more talented players that he gets a game.

What sums up our pathetic attempt at attacking was our first corner (well I think it was, May have missed one first half but can’t remember one). Centre halves up, Prowse comes over and away fans wake up. What happens? Prowse plays it to Diallo (I think it was him, but could have been any of the useless twats), who knocks it back to his fucking left foot !!!! He then plays a left footed loopy nothing cross that is cleared easily. FFS get it in the fucking mixer, put them under pressure, we’re not fucking Barcelona.
-
Doubt it, he doesn’t fucking save anything that’s not routine (and he lets a fair few of them in as well). I can’t recall one save he’s made that he shouldn’t really have got to, not one. Other keepers make mistakes but make up for them by saving ones that should go in. This bloke lets the hard ones in and then a fair portion of easy ones as well. He’s unbelievably lucky to be playing in the Premier league.
-
What makes you so sure. Yesterday was just as bad as Jones and Chelsea was no better than Man C at home. Leeds last won a league game on bonfire night ffs, 10 games ago.
-
He’s an intelligent player, good positional sense and hasn’t got a bad touch. Would be decent in the French league or similar, but lacks the necessary strength & pace to play in England. Without both, You have to be exceptional over here & he’s clearly not.
-
Fantastic coach? Based on what?
-
Yeah it did. Some of the nods near me were constantly trying to get it going. If that was Jones picking that team, making those subs and,playing like that “your football is shit” would have rung out.
-
Sat in services on way home, depressed. That was typical of this bunch of fucking soft arse son in laws. Soft Goalkeeping, Julian Clearly has got stronger wrists than this bloke. Both full backs poor, Moi????. The big lump gets smaller when jumps and the other new lad is the very definition of “flatters to deceive”. Manager poor, the subs made us worse and the “effort” put in after they scored to get back in the game was frankly pathetic.
-
The sea “border” came into being because May agreed that they’d be no “hard” border between NI & Eire at the very start of the withdrawal negotiations. Once this principle was established there were only 2 options, the deal we have now, or RUK staying in the single market. The only way to get the RUK out of The SM was to leave The Micks behind, May & Robbins ensured that.

You can say it as much as you like pet, but even your messiah thinks it’s pony. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/watford-vs-southampton-result-final-score-shane-long-goal-ralph-hasenhuttl-a8883651.html?amp

This is the bottom line for me. Whilst it is too early to judge whether he’s the right man long term, what he has done is steadied the ship and calmed everything down. It looks like he’s bought the board time and ensured they don’t need to rush into a hasty appointment (which appeared the case with the American bloke).

Back in the saddle now after given all clear by Doc, and taken off blood thinners. Must say the alcohol free stuff tasted pretty good. Nanny State & Ghost ship my favourites, but it’s not drinking and you don’t get the buzz. Few Tanglefoots today, and I confidently predict I’m not giving up (unless doc tells me). The buzz just ain’t the same .

People who play fantasy football, that says it all. Load of old pony for geeks.

What you on about?

One even claimed Selles was behind sending him to Villa
