  1. I'm not usually bothered if we lose, but the 3-2 game on boxing day made me absolutely furious. Which was a shame because it was my wife's birthday and I beat the shit out of her.. bloody United. We seem to raise our game when completely necessary, so I'll go a definite 3-0 loss.
  2. Whenever Moreno or Cash got the ball, they seemed to have a 4 on 2, and we didn't have a pass on into midfield. It's like midfield were absolutely smothered and we didn't know how to deal with that. We also struggled to get any passes from CB into midfield and we didn't have any options (or much pace) to go long. They did a number on us and deserved it.
  3. What did they do? - One of them sustained a knee injury against Oxford - Another injured his shoulder in the same fixture - Tom McIntyre had his red card rescinded, but fractured his ankle. Jesus man, do you not read?! It says right there..
  4. Best do a lumbar puncture just in case.
  5. My companies bonus scheme seems relatively simple. It's up to 14% of your salary, split 2 ways between group and your set objectives (7% obviously). We're set 5-6 objectives per year. I had 5 as I started in July and completed 4 out of that 5. The group (from heresay) has performed well, so I reckon I'll get 10-12% bonus next month. I've also said I'd split my bonus 50-50 with my pension, so I don't get buzzed too much by tax.. I think that feels fairly sensible.. I dunno, any thoughts?
  6. He did get his comeuppance in Jason and the Argonauts 2: The guy who sent Jason off on his voyage in: Jason and the Argonauts. You must have missed this 2021 masterpiece, featuring the same actors.
  7. I live 8 miles away and I can't hear VP when we score, but people in my locality can hear me when we score, which is why I'm known as "Shut the **** up" to many people in Halesowen.
  8. And presumably we offered to change the sheets?
  9. McKenzie is from New Zealand, ya idiot. Do you even watch it?! Mackenzie | Bluey Wiki | Fandom
  10. I agree with this. When he leaves he'll be held in the same esteem as McGrath. He's so important to everything we do. He has the players trust and he constantly backs himself up with saves no other keeper makes. How he ended up at Villa, I'll never know.
  11. Matt Cash is fine. Yea he's a bit frustrating with how safe he generally plays, but even if he passes square or backwards, at least he's not giving the ball away. I understand it's annoying when moves seem to break down because of him, but there are lots of examples of that being the case with the rest of the team. I'd argue we waste more time with the ball at Emi Martinez's feet, waiting for a low block team to press him, than Matt Cash does passing the way he does.
  12. It might be worth putting a tenner on anytime they play an ex villa forward/midfielder. They always seem to score against them
  13. Hard to imagine he could hear all 12 of the away fans, but these are finely tuned athletes I guess.
  14. He was absolutely brilliant last night and Youri should have played him in for what would have been a relatively simple finish from 15 yards. That said, was noone else really **** off that he didn't take his chipped shot against the post (that mcginn finished) AROUND the keeper? The keeper was 15 yards off his line and Ollie should have just had a touch and finish. Very critical I know, but that's the kind of thing that gets you 20 goals
  15. It's his passing through the defensive lines which hurt teams. He could be our KDB, albeit without quite as much mobility. But the way he can hit a ball and know the weight of pass required is his skill set. Also full of little flicks around corners and nutmegs as we saw last night. If we use him correctly, he's an extremely good asset for us.
  16. A great selection for the game "do you know what the definition of "slack" is?". Not quite as bad as slicing your nut sack on a razor blade and being put in a vat of lemonade, but still.. Uncomfortable.
  17. Much like his trumpet playing, he's late to join in (I imagine this is super insulting to a person who plays in a band or whatever, I dunno, I don't play anything other than my own skin flute)
  18. He was a frustrating player for me! He's got obvious talent and a touch many would die for, but his decision making would drive me up the wall if I played with him I suppose that's what makes him who he is though, and his mini-highlights reel is a corker! It was fun watching him though, not many dull moments and Villarreal seems like a good club for him, might meet them in Europe soon
  19. The word removed was 1 when I joined this forum. Nah nah, something is wrong here, I'm not old!
  20. Season 3, episode 47; Cricket- makes me well-up bad ways. (My son's in Worcs Academy and I see a lot of him in it).
  21. Was thinking of buying the car park where the Führerbunker was and rebuilding it from scratch. Might conquer those pussies in France and Poland whilst I'm at it. At least I'll know @StefanAVFC can't get anywhere away from his house quickly too, what with the pickle he's in with his road. Muahaha.
  22. I wonder if he knows Bluey?
  23. I think we need to learn that teams know if they press us, we can use our pivot to bypass their midfield, but if they lose a low block, we're not cute enough with our movement to break teams down. We seem a bit pedestrian when we have the ball, which leads to frustration because we're thinking "have a go then". I knew it would be a hard game tonight, but the set pieces is something I didn't suspect. I imagine the set piece man will be looking at that.
  24. That guy sounds funny.. who was it again? I'll have to look him up.
