Wiggles31

I went last Friday and it was nuts. Never ever felt energy like that in a gig, was buzzing off it all week. Best gig I’ve been to. They sounded great. You can see they are both loving it.

Take an image from Private Eye and stick in on a placard....

Take it on a march for an organisation that is NOT proscribed under the Terrorism Act, and get arrested for a 'terrorist' offence, ( which, although no charges were actually made and all bail conditions removed, leaves a 'record' detailing the fact of an arrest on terrorism charges ).

I thought we lived in a two tier state 🤷‍♂️

In all seriousness it’s totally fucking stupid. What an absolute waste of counter terrorism police time.

Yeah that was random af. He’s 6.7ft. A towering presence.

Josh also had cancer in 2022 - was this before or after that? 

Before that in 2018. 

Someone very close to me had terminal cancer and I contacted Queens of the Stone Age bass guitarist, he invited us back stage and to watch sound check and meet them before the gig. Josh Homme was the sweetest guy and toasted a tequila shot to her battle. I had free dibs on a fridge of Brewdog and he even lent her his cane (he’d had knee surgery) to use if she was tired. The other let us use their caterers which was Mexican food. Awesome night. It was so mind blowing we forgot to take any pictures!

Free Bird or Shine On You Crazy Diamond is going to be my funeral song, just haven't decided which yet...I like the sombre start, but toe tapping last 5 minutes to Free Bird though - everyone would be in a good mood leaving.

Exactly that. I want the vicar to be rocking out. 

Oasis - Champagne Supernova

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird (imagine this as a funeral song 🤘🏻)

David Bowie - Moonage Daydream

Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance

The War on Drugs - An Ocean Inbetween the Waves 

Radiohead - Reckoner 

The Libertines - Can’t Stand Me Now

The Rolling Stones - Moonlight Mile

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

Laura Marling - Daisy 

Someone needs to create a Saintsweb Spotify playlist of all these tracks. I’m in desperate need of some new tunes!

I am stating very very clearly on the Reform thread that it is MADNESS to continue to vote for labour or Tory as neither of them cares a shit about the average person, and serve only their rich masters. If it is thick to vote for change in the face of two others who have a totally 100% proven track record of not giving a shit, then it is also utter madness to carry on with Lab and Con and expect anything different. We must have REAL change or things will remain as they are and I expect, get much worse. 

So your voting for the Greens then?

It’s absolutely horrendous. There needs to be sanctions placed on Israel until this humanitarian crisis is solved. I see dumb old Trump accusing the BBC of misinformation. 

I can see a situation where clubs won’t pay our asking price as they don’t think it’s worth the risk, so Dibling stays for another season. The club needs to stay firm. He should tear up the Championship which would increase his value. Similar situation to Grealish and Gibbs-White. 

I’d go so far as to completely gut the first team, minus only a couple of the younger ones. We need to get the long term vision back of building a team capable of stepping up to the Premier League (strong, athletic and coached to a tee like Thomas Frank at Brentford). Even if that means 2-3 season to get promoted. Otherwise it would be another yoyo scenario. 

From a mate - Rumour is Intoxicated, trying to leave the area, hits a pedestrian, crowd react and attack vehicle, driver goes into (Intoxicated) fight or flight then hits another pedestrian, reacts late and veers into crowd. 

God Sunderland look dreadful. Like Martin’s football earlier this season.

Clearly not all opposers to what Israel are doing are antisemites. However your constant reference to not being antisemitic hold little weight as you have let it slip by your ‘clumsy language’. Still not as if you loosely call people Islamophobes eh?

I would put Wiggles in the same camp if he calls Israel ‘a fucking horrible country’

Committing crimes against humanity in my eyes does make Israel a horrible country. Much like Russia, Sudan, Myanmar, Syria and North Korea. Israel needs to stop crying antisemitism every time it’s criticised. And FYI what happened on 7th October is also despicable. My opinion has no influence on race whatsoever. 

Israel is a disgrace. Absolutely disgusted by their actions, war crimes committed right in front of the whole world who watches. Fucking horrible country. 

Reading more into him I can see why the club are looking at Still. They want a more aggressive style manager and the high press back. You can’t deny he’s been very good at Lens, even drew with PSG and had something like an 17 match unbeaten run. 

People need to check their expectations a tad! 
 

Personally the Premierleague is not the be all end all of football, it’s massively up it’s own arse much like the Super Bowl these days. 
 

I’d much rather the club focus on building a squad of young players, even if that means promotion were to take 2-3 seasons, players who will be able to make the step up in the BPL, well coached, Brentford and Bournemouth being the best examples in recent seasons. 
 

Plain and simply I want to see some damn wins, goals and clean sheets. This season has been horrendous. 

Great to see. Fuck off Pep you boring bald eagle. 

Sakamoto looks a class little player for Coventry. 
 

Christ can we have some exciting wingers back in our side. 

Ah what a chance at the death there for Wright!

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto has been class in that game. Really impressed by Coventry. 

Umbrella.

Ceasefire agreed apparently. Captain Cunt (Trump) obviously made the deal.

I enjoyed that more than the Everton win way back in November. There was pride in that performance and we got over the line (12 points). No one will remember that points total now. Psychologically that is huge for the club and us fans. 
 

Also the fans were fucking brilliant. 
 

Special mention to the ref who was the most corrupt of the season. That’s how they do it, the 50/50 fouls they lean one way. Not obvious but clear as crystal today. Fuck the Premier League. 

Like I say it is great that there is a shift towards recognition and diagnosis, but beyond that NHS support is limited unless you have a co-occurring condition and fall under mental health services. It’ll be interesting to see where things are at in 5 years in relation to NHS providing support to children and adults alike. 
 

Hampshire Autism is a good service and would always recommend that to people with ASD.

We got promoted with reliance on a highly ingrained, intensively coached system based on the side of football where you have the ball.

Despite the success of getting promoted, we were crap off the ball and conceded an embarrassingly high number of goals.

If you want to succeed in PL and don't have the top players, you make your success largely by what you do when you DON'T have the ball. Poch showed us this. And Ralph, before it ground him down. Bournemouth did this season. And Forest. Forest play very basic football in possession.

[I don't mention Koeman, because we had Pelle, Mane and Tadic - three of the best players in Europe at the time.... those were the days.]

You organise and press aggressively, and fight for everything, giving the opponent no time. Or you sit off, pack the defence and focus on rapid counters.

We haven't had a coherent strategy out of possession since Ralph left. It's extremely important at top level, where the other side won't just surrender you the ball or mess up their attacking positions.

Agreed with this. Well coached teams do this in an organised and disciplined manner. They also have more aggressive and athletic players. Systems well drilled like this can make otherwise ordinary players improve tenfold. Chris Wood and Ryan Christie are good examples of this. Put them in our team and they’d be crap.
