Fucking hell, Warwick Davies would have jumped higher than Baz for that second goal. Weak as piss, AM would have come and punched that, no bother. I can’t believe anyone thinks he’s not put us under more pressure than was necessary tonight. It’s every fucking week, first one, debatable, second one 100% on that fucking useless clown…

To be fair, it was written by the 4th best songwriter in the group .

That’s the correct approach. It’s indisputable that they’re the biggest & most influential group regardless of whether you personally like the music. It wasn’t always the case, in the 70’s The Stones, Who & Kinks were in the same bag. If you said “I think The Who are the greatest ever band”, it was a legitimate debate. Now, you can say “the who are my favourite band”, but you can’t say anyone other than The Beatles are the number one. Their music has aged so much better than other great acts and so many of the songs are still part of the culture. My grandson’s school choir sing “come together “ FFS. That’s the difference imo. The Stones had some great singles, Gimmie Shelter & Jumping jack flash areas good as anything Lennon & McCartney wrote, personally I think John Sebastian & Robbie Robertson wrote a couple up with them, McCartney himself has said “God only knows” is as good as anything he wrote. But it’s the number of tunes pretty much everybody knows that’s the difference, and the fact so many were just album tracks. I doubt many people can name non singles the who or Stones wrote, but that’s not the case with The Beatles. The aforementioned “Come together “ was just an album track, as was Yesterday, I saw her standing there, Back in the USSR, In my life, here comes the sun, there’s dozens of them. There’s also so many covers and young musicians are still covering them in bars and clubs now, 55 years after they split. The most remarkable thing is the timescale & age they were. 8 years was all the recording time was. The oldest, Ringo, was 29 & George was 26 when they split. It’s remarkable that so many years have passed and they’re still as popular as they are. People like what they like, but must acknowledge their achievements are way ahead of everyone else’s, by any measure other than personal preference.

Late on parade again Soggy, jokes been done.

The blokes travelled a couple of yards inside as well. I’m also sure there must be scouting reports stating that when he comes inside he has a pop (we’ve seen Leo do it 3 or 4 times now, you can’t tell me keepers aren’t expecting it). If the blokes gives him the eyes, twists his foot at point of impact and it flies into the other corner (although looking at it an effort like that will hit a defender), then fair play. But that takes a great ability, not many can manage. From that still pic, I’d want my keeper a couple of yards over, and his body weight moving to lift off his left foot. He doesn’t look set to me.

It’s hardly “hype”.

Fucking hell, I did wonder what sort of halfwit watches this complete & utter pony. Hearing the results on Virgin this morning I do think the word celebrity is doing a lot of heavy lifting .

Correct. And he showed absolutely zero anticipation. Once the bloke cut in on his right foot it was blindingly obvious what he was going to do. Whip it into the right hand corner, his whole body shape indicated it, and I’m sure he’s done it before (as Leo keeps doing). Baz should have anticipated that, and if the guys then good enough to whip it into the other corner, then fair play, but not many at this level can. I’d expect my keeper to shift to the left slightly and set himself to dive that way as soon as the striker checks onto his right foot. Not after he’s hit it, only reacting once he’s taken the shot.

I don’t think Sir Geoffrey is a fan “England are irresponsible, rubbish and too far up their backsides to care.” Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum think they, and only they, know the secret to modern Test cricket, but we should stop listening to them.”

Fair play to the bloke, he’s done better than any of us thought he would. It also shows how completely out of his depth Still was, forget Lego, Jones or even Seles in hindsight his appointment was SR’s biggest fuck up, and with their record that’s saying something. The transfer window is looking better and better now the new signings are being managed properly, and we’re building some momentum. Clearly we don’t know if he’ll be decent long term, but it’s a short term business and we’re now looking at the right end of the table.

Enjoy him this season, because I’ll be amazed if he’s with us next one…

Correct. We’re looking well capable of climbing up the league and making the play offs, but he will absolutely let us down in a big moment this season and cost us. Pointing that out isn’t being negative or “hating” him. It’s a fact that to go up this season we’ll need AM back in or a new keeper. People need to wake up and smell the coffee….

According to McCullum they actually over prepared. Clearly not enough golf and too much practise…

Here we go again. Baz beaten by an absolute un saveable shot. He truly is the unlikeliest keeper to ever don the gloves.

Another Baz special. Should he have done better, all I know is their keeper saved 2 pretty much identical efforts. No doubt they were stoppable & Baz was unlucky again.

Just fucking chucking it away again. What was Stokes going on about, has beens…. They need to ditch this brainless Bollocks baz ball and play proper cricket…

U2 Queen Yes UB40 Kiss The Smiths

You’ve had more jobs than Mr Fucking Benn. Im calling pony on this one…

To be fair to Pingpong, he has got a point. Jones is 58, so it is debatable whether he’s better than Baz. Personally, I think he is, but can understand people who think Baz’s distribution may just give him the edge.

Amended for you..

I doubt if they would either, their number 2 been playing since Aug as Charles is injured.

She’s probably applied for PIP and wants a Motability car…

The first one probably goes in 6 out of 10 times, regardless who is in goal. The question is, when does Baz ever make one of the 4 which are saved. Any half decent shot & it’s a goal. The third is bad organisation, not imposing himself on the situation & poor reactions. A proper keeper is in control of that area & we come away with a point. No matter what his defenders say, we will not get promoted with him in goal.

First goal, a Baz special “could he have done better”. Obviously, they’ll be claims that the unluckiest goal keeper to ever put gloves on was beaten by an unstoppable Lorimer like effort, but I’d like to see the ghost save one of those once in a while. Third one, defo down to him, he’s so fucking passive, a decent keeper fucks manning out the way earlier or saves it with his feet. All I’m all typical Baz performance, question marks on one goal, a few routine saves hailed as Banks like by his apologists, and one goal a half decent keeper saves… No chance we’re promoted if he’s still in nets come may.

No big deal, she’s basically spun things to justify tax increases, making out she had no choice. They all do it, but I guess as this is a “new broom” thread, it’s a relevant point. She claimed she had to freeze thresholds because the OBR downgraded productivity and therefore she’d have missed her fiscal rules. The reality is, due to higher inflation than they factored in, tax receipts were higher than the OBR expected so she was £4 billion better off. The tax freeze was a choice but she tried to spin it as a necessity. This indicates to me that she doesn’t really believe it’s the right thing to do.
