I’ll be moving over to an EV in the near month or so. I think I’ll have less than a dozen journeys per year where I’d worry about range as I’ll be getting a home charger and do mostly local journeys. This thread has confirmed my belief that it’s the right decision for me but I can see why these...

I’m not sure they need to attack livestock. In fact, most cases of big cats attacking humans or their livestock in areas such as Africa are often attributed to desperation or starvation on the part of the feline. In the wild, these creatures eat a lot of deer. But the non-native Rabbit is very...

I was convinced I saw this stalking alongside Neville Recreation ground in Lewes around 2008 as I drove past on a very dark and foggy night: https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/8453347.beast-of-bevendean-stalks-again/ There were no people about, the beast was exactly as you say, Labrador size and...

Verbruggen - 5 : He can’t get much more than that with such a bad capitulation against Maddison. Even if Dunk was blocking his view of the Spud when he shot. Other than that; he was fine. Veltman - 6 : Bad first half, decent second. Kadıoğlu - 5 : Wrong tactics from Hürzeler and it made him...

Exactly. I just feel for his family and friends as he has had to undergo this intrusive surgery. It’s only when those we love most experience the most profound medical procedures that we get a perspective of the fragility and value of human life. They must have been to hell and back worrying...

The defensive formation in the 1st half looked like this for me. ————————-Verbruggen————————- ———Veltman—-—-Dunk——-Igor——————- Minteh———Baleba——Hinshelwood—-Kadıoğlu Veltman was tucked in close to Dunk leaving the right back area to Minteh and Baleba to defend. It was hopeless as Maddison and...

Wieffer would currently make a better EPL centre back than any of our youth team players or first team fullbacks, midfielders or forwards (except for Veltman of course who has played more games at centre back in his career than he has at full back). Big. Strong. Good tackler. Supreme in the air.

I can’t…..unless you want to see this of course:

Beating Spurs in an iconic comeback is all the better without using any of these players: ———————-Ferguson——————— Adingra————Pedro—————-March ———-Milner—————O’Riley———— ———————Van Hecke——————-

There is a conversation about the likes of Peter Ward, Bobby Zamora and Glenn Murray. It’s fast becoming apparent that Danny Welbeck needs to start getting a mention.

No. But I think you are right. Potentially March & Groß in the dressing room at halftime might have helped changed the narrative.

On March of the Day 2 explaining how we turned this match around and reduced Ange to an apologetic wreck it would seem.

Look. I’m going to dispute that you’re a Professor but not the other bit. Time for some schooling…… “I didn’t notice radically different 'formations and tactics' in the second half.” In the 2nd half we shifted to a flat back 4 with Veltman-Dunk-Igor-Estupiñán. The back 3 in the 1st half was...

Again, I’d be surprised to see an Albion player who covered more ground today. Locadia, he is not.

We were absolutely on our knees and being smashed by Spurs. Veltman is out of ideas and reaches into his catalogue of dark arts to try and get Maddison off. Look, it’s bollocks and it’s cheating but his backwards fall after some handbags with the darts thrower actually made me cry with laughter...

I think Hürzeler LOVES and inverted left back. The opposite function to what Cancelo was doing so effectively for Pep. However, despite favouring Hinshelwood and now Kadīoglu at left back, Pervis has made his point. I don’t think he’ll get dropped for the foreseeable. A left footed LB is the...

No judging Gruda today. He appears a lot bigger than I had him down for in my head but the adjustment to Premier League football will probably take at least as long as it’s taking Minteh to get his head around. It might take him until next year to start looking quality but with the likes of...

Hürzeler came out with new formations and tactics in the 2nd half and Ange could not cope. His 2nd half changes were absolute bollocks and the Australian could not change the dial, no matter how likeable some posters think he is. He got schooled by someone a lot younger on taking victory for...

Agreed. The Spurs wingers had a free pass in the 1st half as I think Veltman was tucked into a back 3 with Kadıoğlu taking up the positions Mitoma normally does. Hürzeler just got it very wrong. There is only two ways to go after that, try and fix it or stick with your initial wrong formation...

You were totally. And I’m convinced that you are just as happy as me about it!
