  1. Jack Cork forum favourite not in Swansea starting line up.
  2. My fav TV character , absolutely brilliant show . I always thought it was better than " only fools".
  3. ****ing up selling the gold pales into insignificance when compared to ****ing up the pensions . Nice one Gordon .
  4. Ken, he is not our best passer of the ball
  5. I can't see him kicking on , but happy to be proved wrong . I just don't think he does anything particularly well , he's a " nearly" player IMO. He seems quite tactically aware , so there's a chance he'll improve . If he bulks up and starts winning tackles he could have a chance, look at Henderson , but he's too airy fairy at the moment. Tadic & lallana get away with it because of their exceptional technique and ability , he's not at that level yet , so without tackling or speed he'll struggle to impose himself . I'm not convinced by him in the number 10 role ,or as a creative midfielder . With his tactical nous and his apparent long range passing ability , he maybe able to convert himself into a DM but needs to strengthen up . Morgan didn't seem to tackle too much at a young age , but he managed it .
  6. Spot on. The comparisons with tennis is so wide of the mark , it's untrue . The Williams sisters and chicks like that would easily beat non pro males from the local tennis club , just as that bird Ennis with the nice arse would outrun most blokes . However , chick footballers are useless . The very best wouldn't even get in a Sunday league side . Women's tennis , athletics , swimming & golf are elite sports , football isn't , despite the bbc lefties trying to tell us it is .
  7. I'm in Malaga area at the moment and have been speaking to a few locals about the guy . From expats that go to watch them ( the season tickets are dirt cheap evidently ) to taxi drivers & waiters ect . All , without exception , rave about him . The only doubts I've heard are about his size & strength to play in PL . They really do rate him though , looks like he could be a little gem . An English guy said he could be like juninho was at boro
  8. It's shocking and doesn't deserve any coverage . I'd rather watch a Wessex League game , but the bbc would never cover that . It's the same with the chicks " ashes" , bigged up by the bbc to a level completely unjustified .
  9. I thought I read a tweet from David Gold saying that said sending off ban would apply to premier league games
  10. Do you understand the difference between respecting the guy and wanting him to play for us . Terry Paine is a legend but I wouldn't want him in the side on Thursday .
  11. Teddy signed by Brian Clough & sir Alex , won the champions league , FA cup , league titles and played in the top flight most of his career , winning over 50 caps , is on a par with a bloke who played in the lower leagues nearly all his life & won **** all and a handful of caps . I hope you don't embarrass yourself in front of neutrals with your theory .
  12. Just having a noggin or 2 in a bar on holiday & get talking to 2 guys from Swansea . They reckon he was different class for them , couldn't praise him highly enough . They reckon he's a perfect match for us
  13. Anyone who thinks lambert is in the same class as sheringham is deluded .
  14. Although he never really had pace , your legs can still " go" without it . His spring and sharpness can go and his legs have a lot of mileage in them . Personally , I think the stop start nature of his Liverpool career is what'll do for him . He needs to play week in week out to maintain his sharpness and it doubt he'll get that at WBA either . Comparisons with Teddy S are wide of the Mark IMO . Teddy was a class above and played most if his career in the top flight , the years of slog will catch up with Rickie . For all his legend status he's played what 50 top flight games and one season in second tier , other than that he's played lower league season in season out .
  15. I was watching a dodgy picture from a bar near Malaga , but I thought we were pretty good. First half excellent , second a bit so -so but the result is everything . Mane looked class but I thought classie ( spelling) struggled . I'm a bit polluted so won't try and spell his name , but the locals I spoke to here reckon the little spainiah fella is class , and the set up for long was special . Let's hope we've got a diamond on our hands .
  16. After an intensive interview process I've now settled on the spainish bar I'll be watching this in. A few scousers in here, moaning about lovren when they saw my polo shirt . 3-0 for me .
  17. Film would be "The last waltz " , the greatest rock film ever made . My book would also have a rock theme" Bill Graham presents " . The auto biography Bill was working on at the time of his death , finished off by someone else using interviews and stuff from the likes of Garcia & Jagger . Amazing story , from escaping the nazis as a German Jew to becoming rocks greatest impresario . Great stuff .
  18. I presume you mean that vunerable 2 year olds with half bakes as parent or parents have their lives enhanced by the environment . Would you say that normal , everyday kids need this at 2 . Personally I kept all my 4 at home till they started school . Two are at grammar school and the older 2 have decent jobs . It obviously helped that they had siblings , but staying at home did them no harm . IF , and it's obviously a big if , everybody was " normal" would it make that much difference ?
  19. No , I go to get away from the snap dragon and her nagging .
  20. We subsidise their child care so they can go to work, pay tax and that tax can be used to subsidise child card .
  21. It wants to subsidise child care because it thinks it needs to run our lives . It tries to drive behaviours it approves of. . On the whole the unintended consequences of government interference ****s things up . I personally don't believe government should subsidise child care and I have 4 kids myself . It seems very strange that this so called Tory government tell the poor that they need to consider the financial implications of having more children , and try and re-enforce that message by limiting their welfare to the first 2 , but then subsidise child care. Surely the two are inconsistent . I respect your views but mine is that if the government got the hell out of our lives , things would be cheaper including child care .
  22. I've always rated Chester . Ok , so he's not the finished article , but he's a decent age for a centre half . Couple of seasons with Jose and I think he could be a real decent player .
  23. I couldn't disagree more . What's a free market party doing interfering with the free market . Child care costs won't come down whilst government is subsidising them , so they keep going up attracting more and more tax payer money . What's the incentive for a nursery to be competitive ? Nothing . Smaller government would mean less tax , the market would bring down child care costs rather than artificially keeping them high . It's not up to the government to look after people's brats until they go to school .
