  1. Isn’t he supposed to be sh*t, according to Brazilian fans? I’d add Stewart to the loan list, if someone in the Championship willing to give him a go. I’d imagine we’d still be paying most of his wages.
  2. I don’t think trying to pass it out wide, ten yards from the halfway line can be counted in any way as ‘messing around at the back’. If anything we were left exposed at the back by everyone running forwards trying to catch Arsenal quickly on the counter, leaving big spaces for them to run into. That goal was pretty much the antithesis of what Russ is usually accused of.
  3. Plus Trump being the man who pulled the plug on the Iranian nuclear treaty last time and sabre rattling to the point that a Ukrainian airline got shot down is hardly going to placate Tehran.
  4. I find it amazing that freedom loving Americans can cheer so loudly for a man who so brazenly tried to overthrow democracy itself four years ago and take the Capitol by force. Left or right, it’s mental that people will even go to the polls for a man like that and makes you realise how good we have it, relatively speaking, in the U.K.
  5. TBH I wasn’t even going to mention that bit, I’m just trying to make the point; he’s thirty years old and has done nothing, anywhere, under any manager outside of Denmark (Elyounoussi is awesome), Belgium (Steve De Ridder is awesome) and a brief loan in Turkey (Cenk Tosun is awesome). Nobody - not one of the 19 other PL managers who play fast paced, direct, attacking, goal scoring, get it forward football - seems to be interested in signing him either.
  6. Maybe. Then again you could say that about Rasiak and any number of other target man strikers. All we know for certain is that he’s thirty and apart from us, nobody outside of the Belgian and Danish leagues has ever bothered to sign him.
  7. I’m fairly sure that more than half of all Canadians live South of Seattle.
  8. He did nothing under the man who actually wanted him when he signed, has been unable to displace some pretty mediocre strikers under Selles and Martin and apparently nobody is particularly interested in signing him. He’s done nothing under any manager to make me think he’s actually good.
  9. Mine is actually pi, accurate to five decimal places.
  10. I asked the woman in WH Smith’s if they had the new self help book for men with small willies. She said, "I’m sorry, I’m not sure it’s in yet." I said, "yes, that’s the one."
  11. No but I did once take a girl home, only to find out that she was in fact two midgets in a trench coat.
  12. Chris Wood has consistently been a 10-12 goal a season PL player throughout his career. Paul Onuachu has never scored in England.
  13. I believe you are referring to ‘The Carrillo Paradox’. Armstrong, yesterday not withstanding, is not a PL quality player.
  14. First two England wickets for Turner today as they beat the Windies.
  15. How and why have you decided which bits of our play are 'the way he wants us to play' and which bits aren't? You do realise that the whole, "obsessed with possession, I don't care if we lose as long as it's over 70%, only allowed to pass backwards and sideways," thing is only an internet meme? We play a largely passing game but we've scored plenty of goals direct and/or on the counter. On Tuesday we played it long down the right for Armstrong to run onto several times and put some long balls in to TP, everyone just pretended it never happened.
  16. We didn’t ‘deserve’ nothing from how we played at Newcastle, Utd, Leicester, Arsenal and City but that’s exactly what we got. That’s football, I’ll take a less than glorious 1-0 win any day.
  17. Great to get that monkey off our back. Hopefully we can build a little bit of momentum and belief from back to back wins and get a result at Wolves.
  18. I guess we can’t expect Dibling to start every game. Oh well, COYS.
  19. Why are you making a nonsense comparison between the engine in an ICE and the battery in an EV? I might as well point out that the tyres in an ICE need replacing more often than the seat covers in an EV. Petrol must be replaced every week. 120k miles at 50mpg average is 2,400 gallons of petrol over the life of that car.
  20. You say all that whilst completely ignoring how often you have to replace the petrol in your car and all the associated impacts of mining crude oil. Nobody said lithium is clean and easy to mine, that’s why we’re trying to move away from it, but it’s nowhere near as bad as petrol/diesel.
  21. Apparently egg is, as are a fair few other people.
  22. Still a heck of a lot better though, isn’t it. If they can crack salt water battery technology, which is being researched furiously around the world you won’t really have a leg to stand on, the ICE will just disappear.
  23. How often do you have to replace the battery in an electric car compared to say, replacing the crude oil that powers a petrol/diesel car?
  24. You should try looking into what tiny, insignificant China is actually doing with renewable energy and electric cars. They’re going to absolutely leave the west behind over the next couple of decades.
  25. Watching Luton and West Brom, I still can’t understand why the game needs to stop because of a medical incident in the stands.
