  1. Exactly this. People (usually blosers and 12 year old fans on twitter from other clubs) like to shit on the Conference League and say it's not a proper trophy, but there's some good teams in there. This is a proper competition now.
  2. Sad to see Howell go. There were always a few concerns about his size (only about 1 1/2 Tommy Elphicks), but I do think that he'll go on to be a fairly reliable QB. I think that we're trying to essentially erase all memory of the old guard in Washington. Also I'd say we're pretty much guaranteed to be taking a QB at #2. For the first time in my 12 years as a fan, I actually have faith in the future of this franchise.
  3. It's not that MMA striking is overrated, it's just very different. In MMA, you're worrying about different things. Strikes come from different angles because you're taking into account kicks, takedowns, sweeps etc etc. You look at a top level striker in MMA (someone like Stephen Thompson, for example), and it's pure poetry. But it's not boxing. It's hard to erase a career's-worth of muscle memory. I train in Karate myself, which is predominantly punches & kicks - but the way you throw & set up punches is very different to the way a boxer would. As has been said many times, stick a boxer in a cage with an MMA fighter under MMA rules and I'd be surprised if they get past the first round once they start getting their legs kicked from underneath then. It's two completely different worlds. Not to say one is better than the other, just different.
  4. Mike Tyson will be 58 years old when they fight. Jake Paul should be ashamed of himself. He won't be though, because he's a scumbag.
  5. The new Everything Everything album is a bit bloody good (as usual)....
  6. Very good ball playing....but not in the way you'd think.
  7. Can't believe MOTD didn't pick up on this. The truth is out there...
  8. The Facebook algorithm constantly showing me videos of this **** baked spud bloke for some reason...
  9. Someone must have told us that we need to bring some excitement to the 3pm kickoffs today. No goals in any of the other games.
  10. Still playing Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth at the moment. I absolutely adore this game. Absolutely no doubt in my mind that this'll be my GOTY. There's still things coming out this year that I know I'll love (Rise of the Ronin being the main one), but I don't see anything else being this fun or making me feel the way that his game has.
  11. I have an Ibanez AZ2402 Prestige (made in Japan), which is by far my "best" and most expensive guitar. Phenomenally put together, plays great and sounds amazing. But I got a '68 Reissue Strat (also made in Japan) back in my Uni days for a fraction of the price and it's still by far the nicest playing guitar that I own. Basically, Japanese guitars are brilliant.
  12. I tell you what, Gibsons have never really been my thing, but I do love a goldtop LP.
  13. I feel like I could say this for every game from now until the end of the season (and rightly so), but a win would be huge here. Spurs don't play next weekend (game v Chelsea away postponed, so even then it's not an easy game being a derby and all). Win this and we open up a 5 point gap and put more pressure on them.
  14. Please beat these cheating, whiny clearings in the woods.
  15. If anything, this game has shown that we really don't yet have the squad to compete on all fronts just yet. It was still a strong team that we had out, but we only need 1 or 2 changes to our strongest XI and you start to see the cracks appearing. We dealt with the loss of Mings & Buendia at the start of the season quite well. We then managed to keep the same starting XI for a while and we looked brilliant. I think the loss of Digne gave us a little bit of a wobble, but losing Kamara over Xmas, then Pau and now Konsa...it's going to have an effect. Also, to be honest, only one team looked like they really wanted to progress in this competition last night.
  16. 2 x 3-1 home defeats in a row. Please for the love of god pull something out of the bag on the weekend.
  17. This has been an issue all season actually, even when we're doing well. Playing to the whistle is the most basic of all basics and yet we so often just stop playing because we're expecting the whistle and end up way out of position.
  18. We can't get a happy medium at the minute. It's either mind numbingly slow or we panic, rush the pass and give it straight back to them. Midfield just isn't finding the space, much like it was against Newcastle.
  19. My god we're so **** slow sometimes. We're 2 nil down FFS. A goal before half time would be huge.
  20. I'm sure Amazon are in the top 5 highest grossing companies in the world too (top 10 at the very least). Absolutely not needed.
