LOLs, but in the Euros, our keeper did get the Dutch to the semis literally single-handedly - the hand with which he made that reflex save against Turkey.
I’ve been convinced since watching their win against Palace that they’re in a false position. It was one of the lowest quality Premier League games I’ve seen.
Of course, combination of rail strikes and national mourning meant rearrangement of those 2. Quite convenient really given that we would've likely been managerless for both.
Not sure you’ve got 22/23 right there. 11 game that season was, coincidentally, the loss at Man City, and if my source is correct we were only on 15 points (in 8th position).
11 games in is a bit of an arbitrary measure, but coming into the international break it’s worth noting that this is our best start in the PL. Given the injuries we’ve had to importabt players and the difficulty of our opening 11 fixtures (we’ve played all of the current top 5 and only 4...
It’s amazing what being given a consistent run of games does for a young keeper’s confidence and sharpness, isn’t it?
The way RDZ rotated Steel and Verbruggen for most of last season did neither keeper any favours. If Massive kept rotating Beadle in and out of their starting 11 we’d recall him...
You are aware that skinny-fit jeans are well on their way out now though? The kidz appear to be reverting back to baggy.
As someone with a big knob, I’m quite pleased that fashion is trending back this way.
Coming from behind to beat the world champions for the first time in a properly competitive Premier League fixture whilst that lot lose 0-2 at home to a mid-table team is certainly up there with the best.
It's easy to give an air of class when you win every week and accumlate 90-100 points a season, but he's a bad loser, no doubt. That time when he lost his shit about Potter having the temerity to celebrate coming back from 0-2 to win showed us all that, and that was in an end-of-season dead rubber.
He gets similar lenient treatment as Harry Kane. I remember him chucking Webster to the floor to win a through ball (and score) when we played there in 22-23.
He had a chance for a late equaliser last week, which was saved at point-blank range, where he’d been vigorously wrestling the defender to win the ball in the first place. Academic, but I bet VAR wouldn’t have disallowed it coz it was him.
I certainly miss the team of the 22-23 season, where we had two of the best centre mids in the Premier League and could go from losing 1-4 at home to a team in a relegation battle to winning 3-0 away at a team challenging for the title. I don't miss the second part of the subsequent season...
Yes, 90 MPs out of 650. Not really going to make much of a difference, in the governence of the country is it? Besides, why would you deny the 14-15% their representation?
There's a tipping point in FPTP where you start to win a disproportionate number of seats. Would you feel so happy about...
Trump’s term will have finished 5-6 months before the U.K. goes to the polls in 2029. You’d also imagine that Labour will get their tough budgets out of the way in the first 2-3 years, then have a couple of give-away budgets to make everyone feel a bit better by the time they’re trying to get...
It's a bit like Brexit and Reform party: simple policies for simple people. The fact that such policies can't actually be implemented without significant cost is a mere detail that gets lost in the cult-like following that such parties establish.
