It was also a poor free kick to give away, he didn’t really need to foul the bloke. When you keep conceding from set pieces you really need to stop giving away preventable corners and free kicks

You can’t use a semi final as a “trial”.

Their keeper would have saved it….

The first goal is always important , particularly today when it’s two pretty pony teams. Personally, I don’t think we lose if that’s given.

He wasn’t awful. He was awful against Forest, he was ok today.

Just got in, SW Railways are as bad as SF fucking C. Swap the keepers over & we win that. From where I’m sat, their keeper saves that. Var atrocious. When they show a reply everyone, apart from the totally one eyed, should say “fair enough that’s a foul” for the decision to be overturned. If that’s not re refereeing the match I don’t know what is. Fucking horrendous decision that changed the game. I’m not saying we deserved to win, but we may well have done with that to hold onto. Fine fine margins because Jonesy had just made 3 changes with KWP switching flanks, within 2 minutes he’d created the “goal” from that very flank. Lyanco decent again, keeper pony, Adams looked a bit sharper to me (but still horrendous when he gets near goal), and Armstrong worked and harried well. KWP our best player imo. We’re pretty fucking pony and will need a decent amount of luck to stay up. We didn’t get any today, another day that’s a goal….

If my kids and grand children are anything to go by, they’ll be listening to the same stuff we are. I never tried to ram my music down their throats as I thought it important they found their own likes (my old man tried to get me into modern jazz, unsuccessfully). My son started watching the Peter Jackson Get Back and is into the Beatles big time, my Grand daughters (from a different son) got into them after watching that “yesterday” film, and Rumours is my daughters current favourite album she’s playing all the time and she’s starting to take an interest in The Band. The great thing about Spotify/Apple music type apps is they can experiment, search and find stuff without wasting a fortune on shite. The great stuff comes to them without necessarily being on the radio, they’re very lucky in that respect.

They’ve now lost Ken. Watch the new chump lose as many listeners as Ball has. The bloke on in the afternoon is even worse than Steve Wright, which I thought was pretty much impossible. How to fuck up a decent radio station.

The Byrds are really under appreciated in this country, really talented band. WhIlst CSN & CSNY relied on Stephen Still’s brilliance with Young adding the much needed grit to the mix, Croz’s vocal and harmonies were an important part of the mix. The first CSN album & Déjà Vu are still played regularly in the Duck house. A summers day, the first few bars of Suite Judy Blue Eyes or Carry on kick in, fantastic…. Iconic figure, really lived the lifestyle as well as singing about it. He’s also been humble and entertaining on Twitter the past few years. Surprised he made it to 60, let alone 80….RIP

The BoE does operate autonomously. It sets rates which influence government policy, not vice versa. The Monetary Policy Committee sets interest rates based on the remit letter sent by the chancellor . Monetary policy is set by the bank (owned by the Government) in direct response to a remit set by the Government. If the Government changed the remit, interest rates would change.

They have decent mixed systems in many European countries. Why on Earth are we incapable of doing so in England? BoE is owned by the Government. The Government appoint all its senior policymakers & Parliament sets its goals and responsibilities. It what way has the BoE been taken out of politics? It’s like trying to claim the US Supreme Court is apolitical.

The only way you’ll get politics out of the NHS is to privatise it. if there’s tax payers money involved, there’s politics in it. Thinking the opposition won’t blame the government for poor service or governments take the credit for great service, is for the birds. There’s also the accountability question, who is a accountable for poor service, an unelected quango? If you don’t like the way the NHS is being run, vote the Government out. Don’t like the service your private company offers, move to another one. How do the public show their displeasure at the unelected independent quango’s running of the NHS. I presume they’ll pressure the Government to remove/change them. Hey presto, politics is back in it. The only way it’ll work is mixture of private and public provision. The NHS offers a basic service, with people paying for additional services. We should encourage more people to go private.

He’s got a bit of class about him, nice little player. But we’ve got enough of those, I rate him but we need some meat not mince.

Anyone who wants to put more money in the NHS without fundamental reform needs to give their head a wobble.

Tamesaint. The public want other people to pay more tax for better services.

WTF is this pony? Wanking material for Billy Beane wannabes. Fuck me, we made do with the tennis bird scratching her arse.

Dear God. “Non ballers”, what sort of pony is that. It’s goals like this being disallowed that led to the rule changes.

No he didn’t, which is the exact point I was making. Had he stated the season as he played the last 2 games, he probably would have done seeing as Southgate doesn’t appear to rate Madison As for people trying to make out he’d have played the same position for Ralph given the same player’s available, I’m calling pony. He never played as far forward even when everyone was fit. Hence the title of this thread. Looks like dear old Ralph missed a trick and the cult are rewriting their bible.

He’s got tremendous ability but Klopp ain’t great for him. He needed drilling over and over, he needed coaching as a full back, ironing out his weaknesses. If he couldn’t be taught he then needed turning into a midfielder, coached and encouraged in that role. It’s called management & coaching, as opposed to accepting his weakness to concentrate on his strengths. It’s probably too late now because he’s behaviours are imbedded. I’d bet my life if the Jose of a decade ago got hold of him, he’d be able to defend ok.

Slow down? You need to start putting it about mate… https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11438493/Having-SEX-help-ease-agony-gout-say-experts.html

If Jones had come in earlier he’d probably have made the World Cup squad.

He has had some absolute stinkers the past year, so that’s pony for a start.

Anyone who doesn’t think he’s been pony prior to the World Cup is a moron who doesn’t know anything about football. We’re not “lucky” to have him, anymore than we were lucky to have OR, Steve Davis or Danny Ings. It’s such a noddy attitude, He’s played a couple of good games under Jonsey & all of a sudden he’s up there with Matt. There’s a reason Lallana, Mane, Morgan, Big Vic, Shaw, VvD moved on and he didn’t, and it’s nothing to do with loyalty. At the moment he wouldn’t get in our best side of the past 10 years, let alone the past 40. Talk about getting carried away. He needs to maintain this level a bit longer than 3 games before objective people will start gushing over him.

Fuck me, some of you falling off the wagon & I’m climbing aboard. Unfortunately I’m facing a spell on the sidelines, Doc has prescribed blood thinners for 6 weeks to clear a blood clot. Says 2 units max a day and no heavy sessions. Might have to try out some of the 0% shite recommend on here……
