There’s no chance we’ll finish lower than 17th.

I think there’s as many positives as negatives, so it probably evens itself out in the end. Going to Dean court without fans will be a bit easier imo. Our home form was so woeful I thought a break from the fans may give us an opportunity to re set our home performances. Now I’m not so sure.

As Roy Keane once said of Arsenal, we’re a team of son in laws. Seem like a nice bunch of lads, a credit to their families and model pros. Unfortunately, they’re also mentally weak. The senior pros OR, Armstrong & Bertrand seem the quiet type as is our keeper and our big Viking centre half. It’s not about going around kicking people, but organising people, digging them out when standards slip. I know you can’t go round chinning your own players anymore but somebody needs to upset a few and install some standards amongst the players. It’s ok when the goings good, but when it’s not you need a couple of pirates to bang some heads together.

Spot on. Bednarek has been poor the last couple of weeks, I’m surprised nobody has blamed spending a few games next to Stephens for that. There’s not rating players and then there’s the bizarre ritual of twisting what actually happened in the game to suit your agenda. If you read the comments on here you’d think Redmond was out of his depth today, yet he did ok. You even had people claiming Adams would bury chances that Redmond missed, although they probably regret posting that when Adams missed a simple header from a great Redmond cross. He was not as good as Armstrong, but nowhere near as poor as some of the others. Vesty can get skinned inside the box, turning like the QE2 and yet the goal is the keepers fault. Ward-Prowse and OR were distinctly average second half, and Bertrand looked like he was running on sand second half. The new bloke did fuck all, with Djneppo doing even less than that.

It’s laughable the way Forster being talked up by some. All of a sudden he’s better with his feet, organises the defenders and makes saves. All this whist sat on the bench. The fact is he was complete pony before being dropped and is only at the club because nobody else wants him or thinks he earns his monster wage. We’ve got beat by 9 twice and he still can’t get a game, not because Ralph has a vendetta or because he’s clueless, he doesn’t play league games because he’s pony. As Bill Shankly once said to a reserve after witnessing a poor defeat “how bad must you be to not get in this side”. McCarthy’s detractors need to ask the same question, how bad must he be to be behind McCarthy.

We’ll win at least 3 games the rest of the season. No bother.

Anyone who thinks we can get a better manager than we’ve got is deluded. Like Claude before him, he’s doing a good job with average, mentally weak players.

We also overplay our best players.

Oh you’re a referee, it all makes sense now.

Bertrand you dopey women

You’re writing pony. Where he was stood, to the left of him was near post, to the right far post. Had it gone to the left of him, would you have said he was beaten on his far post? Of course you wouldn’t. You’re embarrassing yourself, give it up.

You’re so obsessed with digging out McCarthy you’re trying to rewrite football jargon. He wasn’t beaten at his near post. The goal was a combination of 2 mistakes from Bednarek & 1 from Vesty. I guess because Stephens isn’t playing McCarthy gets blamed for goals. It’s pathetic.

I thought the same, but Bednarek was too deep and played him on. Stephens fault probably.

It wasn’t near post.

You’ve even got people convincing themselves it was near post. They’re so obsessed with scapegoating McCarthy they’re seeing things that didn’t happen. The centre halves have been poor second half, but as one of them is not Stephens, they’re absolved of any blame.

It was Vestys fault, never should get beaten that easy. But he’s a forum hero, so can’t be his fault

Unbelievable that one of England’s greatest ever strikers, who has been on TV for years, gets to analyse one of his former teams. Baffling.

I blame Stephens for Remond

God that Carney gets everywhere. She must have some agent.

Adams scores, lol. Have you watched him lately. You’re not being a hater, just a twat.

To win the next election The Republican candidate is going to need to keep Trumps MAGA supporters but also win back mainstream Republicans & some Democrat voters, this makes it easier imo (thou still a hard ask). The Democrats are clearly trying to tar the Republicans as Trump apologists, hoping it’ll stick. I’m not so sure it will, a good political operator can attack the process & the politicalisation of 2 impeachment’s without directly defending Trump. He can play into the “they’re out to get you/ they’re out of touch” mindset of the MAGA lot, whilst building a coalition of Reagan like voters. The tories struggled to attack Blair as a leftie, because middle England didn’t see him as one, & lefties still voted for him. As sure as night follows day, the next election is going to involve democrats portraying the republican candidate as Trump mk2. If the Republicans get someone middle America doesn’t believe is Trumpesque, this ridiculous impeachment may enable him to keep the MAGA vote whilst distancing himself from trump. Of course that all goes out the window if it is trump himself. But I can’t believe The Republicans would be that stupid.

Do you really believe the pony you write?

All 3 should be VAR’s now. Linos don’t referee top flight games because it’s a different skill set. Referees should referee & ex referees should VAR, it takes away the clique and will lead to independent thought.

Waving his hands around well though.

Fuck me, my snap dragon can’t even work the tv remote. Provided they understand the rules and can stay awake for 90 mins I don’t see why a pregnant bird can’t be VAR. There’s no physicality involved and a lack of football ability shouldn’t come into it. Some birds would be quite good at it, although it would probably be Karen Carney or Alex Scott as they turn up every fucking where.
