  1. Don't talk rubbish. It's not as easy as you think. The man in the street would be a gibbering wreck . Zero credibility, you only have to hear radio phone in to know that. Why on earth would anyone want to listen to Fred the plumber or Andy the lorry drivers opinion on a game? There's some really thoughtful pundits about, Stewart Robson the best imo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Must be the first time for 3 or 4 seasons Liverpool away isn't a TV game Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Presumably the person the message was sent to in error has kept it. Puts us very much in the driving seat regarding Liverpool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I quite like long, but selling one of him or Austin makes sense ( provided we replace). Both are reaching the end of their usefulness, with Charlie's injury record & Longs age. I can we'll see a situation next summer where it hasn't worked out for Gallagher ,Charlie's been in & out the side & Long is Long but a year older. We could need to replace all 3 in one window. Add into the mix the possibility that Gabbi scores 20 goals and becomes our next transfer saga . To swap the oldest for a younger model this summer makes sense imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  6. Im going through a similar thing with my old man at the moment, watching that did make me laugh. The way he avoids answering. It was funny when the memory doctor asked him what day if was and Glen replied " I'm Glen Campbell why do I need to know what day it is". That last concert during the film was a real heart in mouth moment, could he get through it without breaking down , heartbreaking really, and incredibly brave of the family to film it. His daughter was amazing, but even with a fuzzy brain, he played as sweet as ever. Played Wichita lineman twice in a row by mistake, but can't see the audience complaining about that.

  7. No transfer list nowadays. Agent will just be told that we're open to offers, given a ball park figure & the agent touts him around Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. He's one of the greatest guitarists ever, & had a great voice. A lot of people don't realise what a top session musician he was. Check out "The Wrecking crew" documentary on Netflix. The amount of famous records he played on was unbelievable. I'm not an emotional man at all, but his final tour film, when he was fighting dementia reduced me to tears. Sometimes he couldn't remember his kids names, the day it was,lost his rag plenty of times and needed his daughter to help him around the stage, but when he played his guitar, man it was amazing still. "I'll be me" , people should check it out. Nobody played guitar like Glenn. Here there are some seriously great musicians watching him, Willie Nelson, Chet Atkins, Waylon Jennings amongst them and the respect is evident in their faces . RIP Glen.

  9. Sad news tonight, the death of Glen Campbell. He was an absolutely fantastic musician, with a great voice. Suffered from an horrendous disease, nobody can watch the documentary about his battle without shedding a tear . RIP Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. He's really not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. "A few", that's a bit of an exaggeration isn't it. Two , at a push 3. He's done nothing to deserve a place under Puel or Koeman Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. He's a decent defender if you're compact & don't push the full backs on, but not sure he'd fit our system . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  14. Don't understand why people are getting their knickers in a twist over others saying we're a selling club, we are. As is 86/87 of the 92 clubs in England. It's just that we get more focus because of the depth of talent we've unearthed. It's not an insult, it's a fact. If VvD played for WBA they'd be in the same boat. West Ham had to sell their star man. It's just a fact of life, whether we like it or not is irrelevant. Funny enough I'm reading a book about Shanks at the moment. There's a bit about scouting players. Evidently, he went to watch one & after 20 mins the player got kicked & made a right meal of it., rolling around & moaning at the ref. "C'mon we're off, I've seen enough " said Shanks to his buddy with him. They didn't sign the player. How I wish managers had that attitude now. That they would be put off by players antics, that Klopp would say he's not interested in VvD now because of his selfish unprofessional behaviour. Unfortunately he won't, any more than we would. We'd have signed Berihino & ignored the shiete he put WBA through. It's not just players & agents that stink, it's managers & clubs as well. I hope reports of us sticking him in the stands for a season are true, it'll do a great service to the game. However, are we supporters prepared to accept Yoshida & Stephens whilst he does so, or will we expect Kat to put her hand in her pocket & get a replacement in before receiving VvD money. The cold reality of it that the manger will want a replacement, the supporters will want a replacement & the money men will take the emotion out of it , and pay for that replacement by selling VvD.

  15. Pony Contrast his behaviour with Courtino's. There's a way of leaving a football club and this ain't it. I don't want the **** playing for our first team ever again, I don't feel "lucky" to have him. You're acting like a sap whose fit wife has just ****ged your mate, but because she's fit you feel "lucky". Even though she can't stand you & ****s about, "lucky"? **** off. I'd rather stick with Yoshida, even if he is a 6 pinter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. My point was that it's not really the place to start when discussing cricket the past 60 years. A load of women playing a shiete standard. And to say that Lords hadn't seen an atmosphere like it before, is just laughable. If the BBC did a program celebrating British music since 1960, they wouldn't start with Freddie & the Dreamers or claim that the pivotal song that changed everything was Tiger Feet by Mud. It had absolutely no place in any programme about cricket, unless the programme was 98 hours long. It certainly didn't merit the prime spot they gave it. It was supposed to be about TMS, Arlott, Trevor Bailey, Fred , Blowers etc etc. Has there even been a bird in the TMS commentary team (knowing the BBC there probably has been). TMS is a programme about MEN'S cricket, the tribute should have reflected that. If they wanted chicks on it, they should have done a chick podcast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. It's not just football that the BBC have lost all perspective when it comes to birds sport. I downloaded the TMS cricket podcast celebrating 60 years of the programme. Blowers, Aggers & Jim Maxwell in discussion. "This will be good " I thought . So what was their starting point, John Arlott, Ashes series, Or maybe Compton or Boycotts 100 100. No "we'll start pretty much at the end" the bird hosting it said, "England's World Cup win against India last week" . What? Have I missed something, was I in a coma? What World Cup win? They went to a correspondent who gushed on about the Women team winning the World Cup. Is that really where anyone would start a review of cricket the past 60 years. To compound it, the correspondent then claimed " an unbelievable atmosphere that day, the noise was incredible" before adding (****ing get this) " Lords has never heard anything like it". All the great matches, stories, centuries , bowling feats, one day finals , but according to this dopey bint , the home of cricket hasn't seen an atmosphere like that before. FFS, I'm sure the BBC is trying to troll us. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. **** me, Monday afternoon & you're tanked up already. Barclay looks like a typical West Ham signing to me. If I was him I'd lower my demands and try & get into Spurs. There seemed to be a little bit of interest there. Telling that absolutely nobody gets seriously linked with JWP isn't it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Cable should really avoid accusing people of "shafting the young". Of course it wasn't just the young he wanted to shaft. Had we followed his advise & joined the Euro everyone would have been shafted. Here's hoping that Cable keeps up the good work. Insulting the majority voters isn't really a great tactic to change opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Surely the willingness to be personally poorer for your beliefs is a good thing. If your principles are more important than money & wealth is that not noble. Only wanting an independent Scotland if it meant no sacrifice, or loss of wealth, is hardly Braveheart. What if Donald Trump offered to pay all income tax, VAT, & pay for the NHS. In return we'd have to become the 51st state of the union, but would undoubtedly be richer. Which way would you vote, to be poorer & remain the UK or to be richer & become part of the US. Some things are more important than money & people should be lauded for that, not abused. * Not that I accept the notion we'll be poorer. In the long run I think we'll be richer.

  21. Lol, it's not a "lie" . If you accept the premise that the more you spend on education the better results you get, then surely it's not a "lie" to then suggest that had we ploughed the money we sent to the EU into education, our standards would be higher. What's the lie; That we've sent billions to the EU That more funding means better education standards You need to learn the difference between a lie ( or even a venomous lie) & an opinion.

  22. Instead of sending millions to the EU we will be able to plough some of it into our education system, or our 9 poorest areas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Exactly. But the goon squad will go out of their way to devise criteria showing MP will be better. Me, I'll stick to league position & cup runs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. That's what 45 years of EU membership has done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
