Ricardo Fuller, Kenwyne Jones, Jason Ewell, Jermaine Wright, Nathan Dyer, BWP, Darren Powell and Guly in the early days regularly got it.

The chances were so good and memorable that you can remember exactly none of them

The threshold to qualify as a chance is pretty low. As such, you have to use your eyes and judgment to distinguish between high and low quality chances. You might be right pal but in order to prove your point, you have to remind us of the four chances JWP created and we can assess them from there.

Only once?

Excellent first half but perhaps as a result we looked leggy in the second half and lacked composure on the ball. Too many sloppy passes and rash clearances - Vestergaard being a repeat offender. Felt we needed another option in midfield as their three were too mobile for Romeu and Hoj and they kept bringing on fresh legs there. While Long provided a very good outlet in the first half, he disappeared after halftime and they were comfortably able to isolate Redmond whos been our most dangerous player. JWP didnt offer much going forward despite playing off Long and got dragged deeper perhaps because he saw our midfield was struggling. Liverpool were nothing special. Their goals were soft as ****. Apart from Mané getting behind Valery a few times in the second half (though Robertson in support conspired to do his best impression of Cedric), most of their play was in front of us or speculative balls to test the pace of Bednarek and Verstergaard. It’s a matter of time before their luck runs out.

Some aggro in the boxes in Itchen Blocks 1-3, though not as bad as in previous years. The stewards are a joke - jumping to the defense of Liverpool fans, claiming they spent lots of money, ignoring the fact that they’re effectively in the home end and many of us have been ST holders for years. Speaks volumes about the priorities of the club.

Looks like May has bottled it. Having extended the olive branch to Corbyn, she's subsequently retracted it with Tory MPs threatening a full-scale rebellion. With her unwillingness to compromise on her red lines, things are one step closer to kicking off.

Good lad.

Here’s one for LD https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/politics/peterborough-mp-fiona-onasanya-backs-further-brexit-extension-as-bill-passes-by-one-vote-1-8877051 An exquisite masterclass in trolling

Bloody antifa at it again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-44798649

This may account for Les' silence. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6877857/Police-investigate-two-devices-planted-railway-lines-network-sabotage-bid-related-Brexit.html

No they haven't. At least on the UK's economic performance, Brexiter forecasters -Minford's Liverpool Research Group being the most influential- have singularly the worst record among economists.

And yet mainstream expert 'remain' predictions -ones without a political axe to grind- have proven pretty accurate. I suspect you won't be listening to them in the future despite being on the money. https://www.ft.com/content/534e108a-4651-11e9-b168-96a37d002cd3

I was bang on the money. The Trump admistration is decidedly more protectionist. I wonder if you exist on here just to make me look good pal

Nice try John. Alas you’re known as the forum antinostradamus for good reason. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that the UK would want to negotiate a FTA with the world’s largest economy (maybe its a revelation to you mind). Rather the question has always been about the scope of a UK-US FTA which will be constrained by the UK’s future trade relationship with the EU and domestic political preferences and how much stock to put in your sentimental, Disneyfied view of the special relationship (your understanding of the US is almost as bad as your knowledge of GATT Article XXIV). Thankfully it appears that Trump, Bolton and useful idiots like you are losing the argument

Nick Boles quitting the Conservative Party live on-air.

Pro-referendum MPs voting against a CU and Common Market 2.0 because while they find the options preferable to no deal or May’s WA, they fall short of their preferred people’s vote. Ditto Common Market 2.0 supporters opposing the CU option. The inability to compromise is rife on all sides.

A clean sweep of no’s again. A permanent CU lost by 3 votes. What a s**tshow.

So the Conservative Chief Whip bluntly admitting the 2017 GE was a rejection of a hard Brexit and required the party to craft a softer compromise. Things went off the rails as soon as the government and jihadists failed or refused to understand the consequences of this stark parliamentary arithmetic. Les et al. had numerous meltdowns on here whenever this fact was brought to their attention. Poor buggers must be going through hell right now

Long way to go yet but wonder if you started thinking about charities for Les to donate to...

However good Giroud is, Ralph wants movement up top, not statues.

Morning John. You should probably lay off the charts and the big words without understanding what they mean pal. Then again knowing again your diverse knowledge and interests (bedroom chemistry and bankruptcy law apart), for all I know you could mastermind it on synthetic control methods. In other news, UK manufacturing PMI has shot up because factories are stockpiling at record levels because of the feared carnage of a no-deal exit.

Where did I say I rated Gallagher, you utter clown? Perhaps Ralph could run the rule over Carrillo when we are relying on options like Gallagher and he’s got more out of our players than previous managers. Of course, it remains a pretty damning assessment of our transfer record and squad depth that I’m even saying this as I’ve always maintained Carrillo’s shown very little and to date goes down as one of our worst signings ever. Needless to say, you’re likely too dim to understand that there’s no contradiction between the two statements.

Whatever formation we played, I thought we struggled with a back four. The fullbacks didn’t give us the width they usually do and were repeatedly caught out of position. Bednarek’s limitations on the ball were exposed while Yoshida had shaky first-half.
