Lighthouse

I'm assuming you didn't do geography at school?

Me too. Phone went off in the Northam today, though it might have been a goal alert and there was a 30 second delay on the game I was watching. 21st Century world of streaming I guess.

If there’s anywhere we’re due a win it’s Goodison. Sadly Everton have picked up a bit recently.

Just too add, Hojbjerg’s tackle in injury time to earn a booking, absolutely brilliant Reminded me of Massing’s tackle on Cannigia.

I think you may have missed the point of my post. Anyway, it’s hardly surprising Leicester played like that today. Don’t forget they sold Vardy and Mahrez in summer and have had a European campaign and a cup final to deal with.

2012 - Centre half scores 8th of the season. 2018 - Long, Gabbi and Carrillo - 6 goals combined.

NK's economy has never been functional to begin with. Perhaps the Chinese are putting pressure on (either financially or politically) to stop being such a bunch of nutters. Trump, loathsome though he is, does have a knack for schmoozing and pulling off a business deal. Perhaps he rubbed up Xi just the right way to get what he wanted in NK. Whatever the reason, I doubt life for the average North Korean will be improving any time soon.

Probably because they'd be getting a similar amount of money much quicker, although probably not up front. I would also be happy with the criteria you mentioned, plus seeing at least some of that money being pumped back into grass roots.

I could never understand how Prutton got a longer ban for pushing the ref (the kind of push that wouldn’t get a booking if it was against another player) than Barton got for his rampage against Man City (8 on top of his original 4) or Roy Keane got for a premeditated assault when he deliberately tried to end someone’s career. A 3 match ban would have sufficed for that Arsenal incident. As for the miss at West Brom, Shane Long has made a career out of that and gets regular praise for ‘always giving 100%’ even though the onus is far more on him to score goals than Prutton.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that public statements saying, "we are behind the manager 100%," are always entirely sincere and backed by every member of the squad. Just like when players say they love the club and won’t be going anywhere, or when chairmen say a player won’t be sold in summer.

I've watched enough Hentai to figure out the gist of it.

If you made me chose an 11, I'd go with something like this (based purely on their form that season, hence no Beattie, Tadic etc.) Niemi Telfer - Yoshida - Hoedt - Bertrand Prutton - Romeu - Hojbjerg Svensson Crouch - Phillips I'd say our current team is worse. In 04/05 we actually beat Pompey (twice) and Liverpool, whereas this lot haven't had an impressive result all season. They were hopeless but seemed to be trying more than our current shower of sh*te.

He is neither outraged nor attacking. That said I would be interested in reading the book, personally.

I see our former loan striker, Peter Madsen, is in a spot of bother.

That'll have them sh*tting a few bricks.

Most Chinese fans supported Man Utd, until Chelsea became better of course. Now they support Man City. Why anyone thinks they'd care about a team in the bottom half of the Championship I have no idea.

He has no managerial experience whatsoever and, to be brutally honest, hardly comes across as the brightest spark.

Because he is a useless showpony with a sh*t attitude who’s only contribution is fancy skills and running at people. Once a season or so a hilarious defender like Nyom will get involved, tackle his own team mate and Sofie-Anne will score a worldy. The rest of the season he just goes missing and throws a diva strop.

Lard has a bizarre contempt for anything Adkins achieved whilst he was here, repeatedly banging on about how we didn’t win the League, even though we did during his tenure in League 1 and missed out to Reading by less than a point (if you include our GD being 11 better) in the Championship. He no doubt thinks 4-0 wins are the minimum Hull should be achieving with their superior squad.

Pied was just Puel's Martina/Telfer/Jermaine Wright. He will be first out the door when his contract expires.

He'll be 34, severely lacking in match fitness and won't have any particular motivation other than money. No thanks.

Sunderland and West Ham were absolutely hopeless in both those games. It's like using this season's Everton game in defence of Pellegrino. I don't think we were organised, we just sat back. Inevitably that helped us concede fewer goals, at the expense of being hopeless up front. An organised team would grind out a few decent results against top teams. Aside from the cup semi against a sub standard Liverpool, we just sat back and accepted defeat against pretty much anyone decent. Without looking, I'm guessing all those questions are something about 8th, a cup final and not having Mané and Pelle, which has already been explained to death on here.

This bunch of useless bottle jobs lose at home to teams like Palace and Leicester. Never in a million years will they get past Chelsea and United. Chelsea will be much more up for it tomorrow than last week and win comfortably.

Have a crack at answering this one question: Did you enjoy watching us play last season?

A very promising player being poorly managed IMO. Remember how bad Schneiderlin and Lallana when we got relegated to League 1? Along came Pardew, Adkins and some quality team mates and they were decent players. Him and Romeu should be a rock solid midfield duo but it just hasn't happened. Yet.
