Lord Duckhunter

You’d hope he realised something was up when the centre half was taking goal kicks.

Who is this fucking annoying women on motd?

Pony. He played well today.

Positional wise he was excellent, look like he stuck to his role in the game plan 100%. But, he just lacks a bit of spark, bit of acceleration or something different. A couple of times he could have broken between the lines or got us up the pitch, he would have done in his prime. Unfortunately, he looks like a good pro way over the hill.

Agreed. Protects the ball, when the ball sticks up front it makes the midfield better. Some of his hold up play was superb today, especially from a nipper. Looked like an old pro out there.,

Debate over…. He needs to play every fucking game. Head and shoulders above our other “strikers”.

Broja is a proper centre forward. Holds the ball up, upsets their centre halves, puts himself about, good in the air, quick feet and no slouch. My motm today by a mile. We look so much better with him up top. Nice to see a bit of gamesmanship from Forster, upsetting their muppets with his time wasting. Unexpected bonus, at 1-1 I thought “here we fucking go again”. Walcott, WTF, but other than that Ralph did ok today. But ffs Ralph, Broja ahead of Armstrong & Adams all day long. Please !!!!

I see Ralph has started whinging about the fixture list over Xmas now.

Probably embarrassed. According to this he signed.

You can get a fine for going to work, but can go to the pub. Some Taff was on the radio saying he was going to work remotely in the pub, wondering what plod would do.

They’re pretty much all fucking Lib Dems. She’s taking the classic Major route, pretending she’s Euro sceptical to win the party over. The only bloke with integrity amongst pinkos was Ken Clarke, he’d have pissed the leadership had he rowed back his love of the EU, but unlike Corbyn and countless Tories, refused to ditch his life long principles.

Kinda glad you don’t referee. The handball rules have changed this season, that one was the correct decision.

Heard on the radio 1/3 of Londoners haven’t had any jabs yet. I wonder how that’s breaks down ethnically. Seeing as the bod talking about it said that we need to reach out to community leaders, I don’t think we’re talking middle aged white twats.

Clear pen. The keeper clearly took the bloke out. Whether the full back had control of the ball or not is irrelevant. The keeper taking the bloke out allowed the full back to clear the ball easily under no pressure. If Adam Armstrong was running towards the keeper following a back pass, and the centre half tripped him up to stop him doing so, it’d be a foul. It’s so blatant I don’t understand how it wasn’t given. Outside the box, that’s a foul 100 times out of 100.

It’s more likely to be a member of the BAME community, but you couldn’t possibly write that.

So what do you want to do, ban them from giving their views, ban people from broadcasting them? That’s a slippery slope to go down. If people are so uneducated that they get their medical advise from a footballer, actor or musician, then I’d have a look at the Woke schools that have clearly failed. However, it’s not really about him not being a doctor, or professional, it’s about the opinion he holds. You’d have no problem with him speaking out if he shared yours.

This. Whether it’s John Lennon being asked about the Vietnam war or Charlton Heston discussing poverty, famous people have always discussed stuff not connected to their skills. The difference nowadays is the snowflakes get upset about it, nobody shouted “oi Lennon, what do you know about it, stick to writing songs” , when he was sat in a bag with his weird Mrs. It’s not really about Matt giving his opinion, it’s that he’s giving the wrong opinion. If he sat there saying “get your booster jab, social distance & wear a mask” the people moaning about him wouldn’t say “what the fuck does he know, he’s just a footballer”. He’s not dangerous, or thick, or any other bits of pony I’ve read on here. He’s just a bloke who has a different opinion than most (me included).

He’s always been a pinko, there’s a cigarette paper between him, Gove and Cameron. The only difference was they came down on the Brexit side. It’s absolutely no surprise to anyone whose followed his career where he’s positioned the party on non Brexit issues. At least Cameron & Osborne were competent pinkos, since Dom’s gone he seems to have become pussy whipped. I voted for him for one reason, to get Brexit. I’ll always be grateful for him sorting that mess & the great joy of seeing Soubry, Wollaston & the rest of the chumps chucked out of the party & humiliated by the voters. But maybe it’s time for him to depart the stage.

No, even Ralph isn’t “impressed” with the job Rafa’s doing at Everton.

Seeing as we keep running out of them second half, i reckon you’re on to something.

Theo Walcott Stop digging

Course they could afford one, It’s about priorities. Personally, I’d have used the Walcott wages to get a keeper in for this season. If I couldn’t find one, I’d have sold Golden Bollocks and got someone decent in nets with the money. The club set a budget, I don’t believe for one minute Ralph couldn’t have insisted on certain positions being strengthened within that budget. He has more control over the club than most managers, yet has to put up with sub standard goalkeepers. Here’s the thing, I’ve seen nothing to suggest that Ralph even thinks McCarthy is substandard. Plays him regularly tick. Signed a new contract tick. The idea that Ralph sits meekly by whilst having to play a goalkeeper he doesn’t rate is just pure pony, put out there by people that won’t accept Teflon ain’t that good a manager.

He’s been in charge for a decent length of time, the goalkeeper situation is down to him. Either he hasn’t got the balls to take on his bosses over it, or he’s happy with muddling by. The fact McCarthy has signed a new contract, the fact he keeps playing him, leads me to believe Ralph thinks he is good enough. The day he walked into the club it was obvious the keeper situation was dire, the fact it still is now, is a reflection on the bloke in charge. The buck stops with the manager.

God, do you really believe the pony you write. This “tactical analyst “ persona is wearing a bit thin. Seeing things others can’t, doesn’t make you Arsene Wenger, more David Icke I’d say. McCarthy played because Ralph picked him, the players played poorly second half because Ralph can’t motivate them to play 90 mins, Norwich won despite being a horrendous side because of failings with our first team, a first team that Ralph has been running for a longer period than most modern managers. The buck stops with him. The blame lies with him. Stop digging

It’s ok. Ralph has spoken, he’s worked out that we need to work on scoring more goals. That’s why these guys get paid mega bucks, they see things layman just can’t. Working on scoring goals, didn’t think of that one.
