What on earth do people expect? Ale with Cask Marque accreditation, served by buxom wenches in a friendly atmosphere where everybody knows your name. Anybody who queues and then pays just short of a £5 for that **** isn’t a proper drinker anyway. As for the ones that miss some of the game to drink it, words are beyond me.

Of course, no Redmond thread can be complete without the obligatory New Henry mention. I despair at a handful of the planks near me moaning about him today. He hits one poor pass straight out of play and they’re on his back , Lamina did the same earlier and not a peep out of them. Had he been a new signing and played like he did today everyone would be wetting themselves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We’ve just got some ****ing idiot supporters who now have their new campaign, abandon 3 at the back (previously it was The Diamond). 4 at the back was a ****ing disaster last season, we’d have gone down had we kept it. Koeman preferred 4 at the back, but switched to 3 centre half’s occasionally. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Hughes doing the same (only in reverse). Of course our forum experts are now demanding 4-4-2 because we played better TODAY when deploying that, mainly because Ings played between the lines. Had Ings started in a 3-4-1-2 we may have played better, who knows. In my opinion the issue with the system today was giving the ball away too much, getting pushed back into a back 5 and not having an out ball because Charlie hasn’t got the legs. Blaming the system is too easy, the players were poor, I think they’d have been poor in a 4-4-2 as well. It took Ings coming on & maybe Burnley tiring to fire us up. Having been at Newcastle & West Ham I’m not convinced Cedric is ideal in a 4. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

People also need to remember why we switched to 3 centre half’s , and how poor our full backs were defensively in a 4. Have those issues been fixed with the signing of the big fella & Bertrand playing like the Bertrand of old? Maybe, but I’m not entirely convinced. They’ll be games I’m more comfortable with 3 centre half’s and other games when a switch would work better. Cedric worries me in a 4 as he gets beat at the far post or in the gap between the centre half too often. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Excellent today. Looked class, sharp, clever and made himself time on the ball. Only a cameo, but exactly what we’ve been missing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

First 20 minutes we hardly got a kick and were very poor, slightly better the rest of the first half but still a bit lucky to be level at HT. Started second half the same way as the first, poor. But last half an hour we were far and away the better side. Really promising. Manager willing to change stuff early enough. Armstrong-good Redmond-excellent. I despair of the half a dozen planks in the Kingsland still moaning about him. Ings- Class above, his signing thread will make interesting re reading as the season goes on. Keeper- Good saves, but a bit casual with a couple of bits of distribution. Elyounoussi- Promising Bertrand, Lemina, Both did ok. Stephens showed good versatility and did well at FB All in all, encouraging. All the new guys slotted in well & look like they’re buying into Hughes methods. The only downside was probably the lack of a threat whilst Austin’s up there alone. He was tidy a couple of times, but got no service at all. Ings & Gabbi looks like a good partnership to me.

It’s interesting how Brexit is changing and dividing the political landscape. I’ve always considered Boris a pinko, he’s certainly way to the liberal side of the party than May, particularly over immigration. In fact Boris, politically, has got more in common with Soubry , Clarke & Grieve than he has with Redwood, Cash or IDS. He couldn’t have won London twice, without being from that wing of the party. Yet Brexit has redfined everything, he’s lazily lumped into the “right” category rather than the pinko wing. Walking my dog today I listened to Dellingpoles latest podcast where his guest was Tim Martin. He’d spent a lot of his early like in NI and claimed the Brexit divide here is now exactly the same as the religious divide in NI. Unionists can have policies that chime more with the republican parties on economics, law and order, everything apart from separation but they’ll never vote for them, they’ll always vote along religious lines. Brexit is starting to have that effect. Look at someone like Gove, there’s a ciggie paper between him and Cameron, but when that ciggie paper is Brexit, it becomes a massive unbreachable gap. Gove & Boris are basically new labour on everything bar Brexit,so they’re perceived as miles away from Kendall, Chucka, Clegg and other soft arsed pinkos. Don’t get me wrong I’d rather they led the country than this idiot, but if Brexit wasn’t happening I wouldn’t want another John Major /Tony Blair type Government . Which is exactly what they’d be.

So how are they blowing us away then. If you don’t know how good they are, how can you decide they’re blowing us away, they could be useless. That would be like saying we blew our rivals away when we signed Carrillo. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So they’re blowing us away with average signings are they? You can’t have it both ways, they’re either blowing us away and getting top players in, or blowing us away by paying over the odds, which one is it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

God you really are a plank. You’ve absolutely no idea of whether we were the slightest bit interested in any of their players, so how are they “blowing us away”. These crack signings have yet to kick a ball, yet you’re hailing their business. Give it a ****ing rest. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Unless Arsenal could shift him out permanently, a loan would make sense all round. “ Not our style”, wasn’t Bertrand a loan first. Only thing with a loan is it’ll probably bring other clubs into play. Can’t see it happening myself, but fingers crossed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Complete and utter pony. This narrative that he’s somehow pandering and appealing to the extremists is pure horse Shiite . Had he been doing so would have called for its banning, rather than specifically criticise Denmark for doing so. Brixitittis has affected so many of the political pygmies in our elite that they’re losing the plot. They’re criticising a bloke who respects the fact women can wear the burka, but totally ignores France, Austria, Belgium Denmark that ban it. I wonder why, oh yeah, they’re in the wonderful EU. Thornbury can say she doesn’t want people wearing it in front of her kids, and calls for women wearing it to work in back offices rather than in front of the public, Clarke calls it a “bag” and sourbry calls it a peculiar concept , yet nothing , why is that? Because they’re on the right side of the Brexit divide. This is not some sort of principled criticism, it’s a calculated political move by soft arsed remainers trying to shore up May. The useful idiots on the labour side have jumped in to deflect attention away from Corbyns anti semitism. But like anything the pinkos in the Tory party do, they ****ed it up. Boris is actually pretty liberal when it comes to immigration, he’s on “their” side of that debate, yet they’ve managed to brush all that aside & defuse one issue that could have been a problem for him with the grassroots. When Grieve says he’ll leave the party & Yasmin Alibhai-Brown says she’ll leave the country the day after he becomes prime minister, what do you think that does to the average conservative member deciding on a leader? Personally if I was running his leadership campaign, I’d put that on the side of a ****ing bus. He’d win with a landslide. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don’t think I’ve ever had a conversation or heard anyone in the ground moaning that JWP should be playing more. People around me are always calling for Boufal or Austin etc to come on and change the game, but never JWP. There’s never really many posts arguing that he should play more and I doubt he’s in many peoples starting 11’s. If he’s not starting does anyone actually say “ I can’t believe JWP has been left out”. He hasn’t started regularly under 5 different managers and there’s never really been any interest from other clubs or press speculation regarding interest in him. That’s either because he’s distinctly average or only a select few posters have the foresight to see how good he is. I know which one I think it is.

If the international recognised definition of Islamophobia includes not wanting to ban the burka, but ripping the **** out of women who do, than Boris is guilty. What would you say if the tories refused to accept the recognised definition purely to let Boris off the hook. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It’s about what he’s worth. I realise people want him to do well, hell im one myself. But people need to face facts, he’s a bit part player in an average squad.

Who can? 5 managers haven’t. Neither can every other premier league manager, as nobody appears to have made a serious attempt to sign him. Why’s that? Great son in law, poor premier league player. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
