  1. looks like we have had our 20 mins of pluky spirit be nice to test their keeper
  2. we have clearly made a point of attacking down our left so far
  3. more intent in 3 mins than against liverpool for 90+
  4. Heard Pied is going to start
  5. let me get this right, you would not be too upset seeing one of the best LBs in the country being sold....taking into account the obvious changes inbound with the rest of the back 4......
  6. I remember being told on here that the money we got for mane was fantastic and the best we could hope for etc
  7. do we not get extra points for our 'net spend' efforts? also, if we get 8th, will there be a party on the common or even a open top bus parade? exciting times
  8. what does restructuring leadership look like when the position that Rodgers held is part of that 'restruture'?

    I reckon being exhausted beyond anything we would know, totally under-manned, under-equipped, under massive pressure to stay alive having seen their dismembered mates hanging from trees/lamp posts........probably shifted his moral compass at the time of kill or be killed

    im saying there are an incredible amount of grey areas.... In Afghanistan our troops were not fighting conventional troops, representative of government, bound by convention - One thread of logic that is not always quite as logic as some would have us believe is the mindset; "Ah yes, we're British and we abide by the rules of warfare. It's what sets us apart and makes us better". You can almost hear General Melchett saying those words whilst stood in front of a sod of turf, a 1:1 scale diorama of captured territory in the Somme. When people are killing each other on the battlefield, it's difficult to accept that anyone feels better about themselves or gains anything because, in amongst the carnage, we use a particular restrained etiquette worthy of Debrett's whilst those we fight do not. It is simply bizarre. We actually are talking about killing each other then applying rules on how it should be done. It's a bit like duelling with someone you know will turn and fire before you count out your paces and turn yourself. You'll not feel better because you were doing it "correctly", nor would it make your killer regard you in anything other than derision and disdain. Apparently this is still murder for some, despite what those in possession of the fuller facts have determined. But, on the other hand, in the same conflict it's OK to indiscriminately decimate a wedding party by using a drone 'piloted' hundreds of miles away, without recourse. How? Logic simply doesn't always come to the fore in combat as easily as it seemingly does to those elsewhere.
  11. what i find annoying about his play is that he never ever attempts to win an aerial dual...never....certainly seemed that way on sunday anyway
  12. also the explosion of NHS staff from places such as the Philippines when Blair was ruling the roost. Looked good on paper on how brilliantly the NHS was staffed...was only a sticking plaster at the time and only ever going to push the problem down the line. But then, that was a labour fault and they are the saviours of the great NHS
  13. all attacking players are back. Only VvD is out (and obviously a big miss) arsenal will go for the win and not the best at the back. The last couple of years we have taken the game to arsenal at home and generally come away with points/wins surely, with the attacking players we have, Austin on the bench etc....we will go for them?
  14. part of the reason why Junior Doctors have been *****ing. They new deal to them impacted their opportunities on getting on the Agency gig as much as they did and take incredible hourly rates

    how can insurgents/terrorists expect us to keep a sane mind and not break the convention when they clearly do not?
  16. So, the whole point of the club is the playing side. He was not the cleaner or the tea lady

    Puel out

    Did. You used to post under the name of St Will before Bournemouth saint? He was a helmet
  19. I remember when the manager said he was not going to everton....he then went to everton Until Virgil comes out and tells us all he is not going anywhere, the attention is going to grow a heck of a lot
  20. gumtree.....if you live in/near London
  21. Gone by July 1st then
  22. claude on the arsenal game...... claude talking up rotation again as it improved our players this season....... we achieved a clean sheet against a great opponent at the weekend we want to show our qualities against Arsenal it is very important to finish as high as possible we aimed this season to give more time to young players we have played good football this season we were good in the last game and it is important to have good possibilities against arsenal we must keep possession better next season we now do not play for relegation or europe we must try to keep a good attitude and compete there is a good possibility to keep a good motivation we have improved this season compared to last year as we have given more young players a chance the squad is in a better place, many have improved. Redmond and JwP for example
  23. when the season is not in progress, maybe?
  24. Claude says he will revert back to the rotation policy for the last couple of games, starting with the Arsenal game you watch, our two most expensive signing sat on the bench, Boufal and Gabby assuming we will 'rotate' here is my team.. Forster Cedric Caraces Stephens Bertrand Rom Hoj JwP Boufal Redmond Gabby reckon Austin will make the bench and Pied will get 15 mins or so also reckon Arsenal will win quite comfortably and we will celebrate having 2 shots on target as some sort of progress
