How often do we score early in games? The earlier you score the more time your opposition have to reply. A game last 90 plus minutes, it doesn’t matter when you score so long as you have the most goals when the final whistle blows.

Why would we sell JWP? He has not long signed a long contract and, apparently, we no longer need to seek to buy.

It doesn’t make him some kind of footballing genius. The very person your moniker mocks was lauded as ahead of his time by some further up the food chain and brought in Woodwood to much derision. You don’t seem to rate Ralph very highly. Would you rather have Fat Sam?

He doesn’t have any politics. He just does what he needs to to get what he wants. But then that is a Tory philosophy for you. Look after no 1 and screw everybody else. -

Little surprise that you voted for Johnson Duckie. You two are clearly cut from the same cloth. For someone who continued to slag off Butch Wilkins after he passed away for drink driving, your constant support for a congenital liar and your Daily Mail attempts to smear a man who at least has a backbone and a moral compass do you no credit. What happened to your own moral compass? Or is it a case of the further right your politics, the more you turn a blind eye to those you voted in? -
You are right. The Italians and many South Americans used to be masters of the dark arts. Remember Alf Ramsey calling the Argentinian’s “animals” in 1966. Diving and other shithousery entered our game when we started to see more foreign imports. Before that teams here just used to kick lumps out of each other but get up, brush themselves down and get on with the game .

Sorry to read about your mother in that earlier post RB. It must be especially sickening for you and all those who have suffered under the lock down. My situation isn’t so bad but I haven’t seen my 3 kids for 2 years. Maybe soon. Anyway, I am sure about a week or so ago when this all kicked off he said he would take full responsibility if there was any wrong doing. Apparently no 10 are now saying that Johnson believes that HE didn’t break any rules. Rules were clearly broken both in his residence and in Whitehall. He is the PM and as such, these people’s boss. The buck stops with him 100%. Why did he not put a stop to it? It happened on his watch. It is his responsibility, but just just watch as he throws others under the bus to save his own flabby arse. The process has already started. -
You’d like to think that there was no intention to injure in any attempt to win the ball 😉. There is a difference in deliberately trying to hurt someone and being reckless though. Not that it proves anything but Keith Hackett thought it was a red. It may not be a stitch but if you enlarge the picture it looks like one. Perhaps I need new glasses? I wonder if we would be so forgiving of that tackle if it had been on JWP?
-
I’m glad that I never played in any of your games then Whitey! I used to get stuck in but rarely came off the pitch like that. If you look closely at the larger cut it looks like he has had a stitch. Not sure that qualifies as only a scrape?
-
It didn’t look worse watching it on tv and I thought yellow was a fair call until I saw the state of Laporte’s thigh. I don’t think it was intentional but when you look at the gash Stuey left it is hard to argue that it wasn’t reckless and he is lucky not to have got a red after the review.

We live in a technological age. Without access to the internet you cannot claim Universal Credit. Many jobs can only be accessed online. Online banking is becoming the normal. We get more and more information from our smart phones. Many people cannot get to work without a car. Thanks to the national transport system now cars are the only options for many people to get around. As you say, throw in the ridiculous cost of housing and more and more people are struggling to afford the things that we all need to live our lives in the 21st century. -
Apart from Redmond’s assist and defensive work?

Yes we do. Get vaccinated against covid. 😩

What is strange Brett is you pretending that you have met me or that you are not Delldays and Batman. That is very, very, very strange. What is also very strange is the fact that you single me out when there are plenty of others here who dislike this government and frequently comment on it. Where you are wrong here is in saying no matter what they do. If they did anything worth commending I would commend them for it. Sadly the decent Tories have all been marginalised and we have a bunch of useless incompetents in the cabinet since Johnson was given the top job. -

I agree. I would like to see some kind of Labour/LibDem/Green coalition. It will take a while for the mess of the last decade plus to be overturned but the first thing to do is get this lot out. If it means Johnson staying in power for a while longer in order for more votes to be lost it will be well worth it in the long run. Johnson is clearly an embarrassment and is and has always been a self serving incompetent, but when he goes there are still the likes of Patel, Raab, Rees-Mogg, Hancock, Truss, Gove etc lurking around. Johnson is just one part of the problem -

Two pathological liars. Which one to believe ? 🙄 Perhaps we should think about the fact that the man who made the rules probably didn’t need someone to explain them to him. Still, I am sure it amused you Brett. -
My brother is a Fulham supporter and was afraid that a Prem club was going to take him last summer. He really rates him.

Not sure what that has to do with it? He was the PM’s main advisor wasn't he, employed by him? Brilliant rant by the way. It’s good to hear someone say on the radio what most normal people are thinking. -

Do you ever stop to read what you have written? I used to think you were just a WUM and posted this stuff to amuse yourself, but I am beginning to think you are really serious. -

I love the story about using a suitcase to collect the booze in rather than plastic bags as it cuts down on the ‘clinking’. Proper hardcore! -
Defender sent off early on. Sound familiar?

cUnacceptable inconsistency and appalling standard of referees

Different circumstances. Valery prevented a player going through on goal which is pretty much a nailed on yellow if not a red. -
Hi Brett, tell me, what do you think is more valuable to our society? A newspaper publisher that has been fighting for social equality for 201 years or some bloke who constantly gets himself banned from an internet football forum and reappears in another guise, swearing blind that he is not who we all know he is? It’s a shame they don’t give knighthoods to those who serve fry ups to our brave submariners isn’t it or you would have a decent come back. Still, carry on fighting the good fight against Johnny Foreigner and anyone or any thing remotely liberal.

Meaning? Between them I spent 30 years of my working life between The Guardian and the CPS and am immensely proud of having worked for both of these organisations.
