    Depends on the opposition. Ramsey, Nakamba and McGinn were superb against Leeds, but madness that same midfield 3 started against a completely different opposition with an entirely different way of playing.

    I don't think anyone has said any differently. Comparing a player negatively affecting his own teams result to a neutral affecting a teams result is so completely bizarre.

    Players and referees definitely don't do the same job. But I couldn't really disagree with you any more so a pretty pointless debate between us when we see it so different.

    Yep, desperate need for a number 10 this summer. We go behind and just struggle to break teams down, this goes for when Jack is playing too. Another good player in that kind of area would take pressure off him a bit and hopefully give is a few more cutting passes.

    Deano's had a mare today. Terrible team selection that didn't work for the opposition and it showed. Probably his worst "performance" as Villa boss so far.

    Protecting to the point where nobody can talk to them, nobody can talk about them, nobody can question them... that's overprotected and part of the reason why the standard of officiating is so awful. Referees make mistakes which cost teams points. Costing team points costs league position. Costing league position costs millions (per position).

    A bit late to the party, but have been watching Fargo the last week or so and it's incredible. Probably one of my all-time favourites already.

    The BWT sponsor still being involved is a big concern. Could end up with a monstrosity like #4. .

    I found BvS a bad, mildly entertaining, film. I thought Justice League committed the worst film crime in being boring as well as awful. I would rather watch BvS 100 times before I watch Justice League once more. I'm sure the Snyder version can't be any worse than the theatrical release, it's probably not possible, but I have no desire to hunt it down.

    The top of the engine cover area on the Merc just looks like they've borrowed part of a Haas. All look good so far. Hopefully Aston Martin and Williams don't let the grid down!

    Paul Scholes wouldn't really know what it's lie to look this good without being surrounded by World class players, so not fussed what he has to say.

    I think so too. They get too much abuse, but I also think they act like Representatives for Wellingborough on the pitch. The complete refusal to talk to any players or explain a decision half the time is shocking, and it's no wonder players feel like they're being completely cheated. Plenty of people in the World do difficult jobs, and you know what? They're held accountable for their mistakes. Premier League referees cost clubs millions and millions, but aren't held accountable by anyone. Nobody can talk about it or they get a fine. They're way over protected.

    At least we have a Leeds fan who admits Kalvin Phillips isn't good enough for the PL, let alone England.
  14. kurtsimonw
    This is something oft ignored by Leeds fans. Whenever it's mentioned that we're above them, having games in hand, etc. the common retort is "We're newly promoted, we're doing better than you in your first season". As if it's somehow our fault they bottled promotion in Bielsa's first year and Deano didn't.

    Thanks mate. That's great to hear, particularly as I am with Nationwide.

    My initial mortgage interest rate was for 2 years (ends July this year). Seeing as I'm unemployed, does that mean that 1) I can't get a better mortgage rate elsewhere, 2) My current one will just roll over at a default, higher, rate or 3) I'm **** and won't get one from my current lender or elsewhere?

    No doubt because they're "Southern softies"

    Someone suggested it's the "continental thing" on twitter, as if it's only the foreigners. The Kalvin Phillips dive is the worst one!
  20. kurtsimonw
    Yes, Neto is class. Definitely the Wolves player I would take.
  21. kurtsimonw
    He was going to be my post. Dreadful striker, easily one of the worst in the league. They really would be where we are if they had any bang average striker up front.
  22. kurtsimonw
    This, he's actually effective. When was the last time Traore scored, or even got an assist, in the PL?
  23. kurtsimonw
    It's fine now when you caveat everything doing with "...a new promoted team". But next season, and the season after, when it's still the same old stuff I don't imagine we'll see as much praise - especially if money is being spent. He's a bit different, but his record since coming to Europe shows he's just not very good. His time at Leeds is more the exception to the rule than anything else, and he'll revert to type.

    I think for the most part the team defense has been 'okay', it's definitely improved and we have KD to come back. I think it's already proven that it can work, we've beaten up some of the leagues better teams, all without KD and for all his critics Kyrie has been completely unselfish (as has Harden). I don't know if we have enough to win it all due to lack of interior defense, which will be a problem against Philly/Lakers potentially, but at the same time - do you bet on a team outscoring us 4 times in 7 games? I'm not sure you do.

    Watching Mazipin drive around a track in Saudi is a going to be the lowest of the low for F1.
