  1. Football is brutal, chin up Brad you have what it takes we just haven't got the time to develop it.
  2. He's standing on the edge of greatness, some doubted his ability but he never did and thats what matters. He's always going to try and improve or change/ develop to get where he needs to go, that's the mark of a great player. I so hope he stays with us to achieve his goals but even if he goes I know , given a fair chance, he will. With Emery in charge he would be very foolish to jump ship....... even if he does I'm confident we will succeed. Sign the contract Ollie.
  3. Lost a stone in weight and had no defence against a south paw, bad coaching. Feel for him, it was a painfull fight to watch as a Joyce fan.
  4. Will it be tanks? My guess is it will be hand held equipment or anti tank mines that are the main threats to Challenger tanks, or maybe drones/missiles.
  5. It's a woman so I doubt she would. I think she's wrong and so does her partner, who's English. My point is she has formed her opinion using Russian media in the UK. I have laboured this point time and time again but doing your own research using Google etc doesn't work. Google shows you results that are biased on articles you have read before and what it thinks you want to read. This algorithm entrenches points of view, even extreme views, maybe its part of the reason we get home grown terrorism.
  6. I know a Russian who's in the UK and they follow the Russian media and are pro Putin, blame the war on the west. People's opinions are based upon the information they are fed, everyone thinks they have formed it themselves but in reality they haven't.
  7. Vital we start quickly, on our toes from the first seconds, if we can do this then we stand a chance of building on our progress. This goes for all the players, despite the press attention we need the business like mentality to win again and fight for that win, Ollie has to be ready for an early chance, they will press us with intensity and numbers from the off and try and unsettle us. This will leave space at the back for Ollie. Brentford will have something to prove against the new golden Boys, us, it's vital we don't get ahead of ourselves and fight for every ball. It's our final.
  8. The way to control a country is to install leaders and use the media to get the population to accept them and their politics.
  9. Car rammed and 50 year old bloke stabbed to death by me, in broad daylight, bet they won't even arrest anyone.
  10. He created our first goal against the 'mighty Newcastle' with arguably the best headed assist I can remember.
  11. Any chance of the lottery numbers for this Saturday?
  12. I would say so, imagine the work involved in the door surrounds , skirting , stairs? It would be very expensive and time consuming, probably be easier to go back to the brick and start again.......I would strip and repair.
  13. There not misleading, when your measuring how affective a player is you have to take all factors in and that includes injuries. If Benteke was here now we would have to have 2 strikers for when he got injured. Bentekes best season for us was his first , he scored 19, 10 the next and 13 the in the last.
  14. You have a very nostalgic view over Benteke, he scored 43 over 3 seasons, including penalties, Ollies scored 39 over 3 seasons (no penalties) and still has some games to go for his 3rd season. Ollie plays a high press game , Benteke was a good striker but he never added that to his game, he would not get in this team even in his prime. Ollie is a better forward player and I watched Benteke from the very beginning.
  15. Benteke picked up injuries and took time to get back to form once he was fit. He also had a questionable attitude, trying to force moves. Only at the top of his game for 2 seasons as well and then faded away on big money. Watkins every time for me, not even close.
  16. He definitely favours Spurs and they have skin in our game, especially if Newcastle do em.
  17. Hopefully their fans start to pressure them to high press, be interesting to see how it plays out. They do have Toney, give him a chance to shine and he will snatch it, you can bet on that.
  18. We ain't never getting top 6 with decisions like this happening weekly. How anyone can attempt to explain it away is ridiculous and shows a complete disregard to fair play, regardless of who it affects directly, Forest, Leeds , Brighton or us. The officials are crooked.
  19. Its was a guilt edged penalty, have the refs explained wtf happened and why it wasn't given? Arsenal had one against West Ham ,saka missed it, that was the same type of thing. These types of decisions are going to destroy the game we all love unless something is done about them, it's happening every week and it's benefitting the same teams.
  20. I have a feeling Brentford will sit back and try and hit us on the break, if they press us they risk us getting behind them and running rampant. We tend to struggle with teams that do this.
  21. His shooting was great....... best thing he did for me was the header back to Ramsey for the first goal, unbelievable assist.
  22. They badly miss a forward and Davies would have been useful from what I saw of them against Manure.
  23. Think it gets the fans behind the team from the off, first few attacks and Holte on its feet and shouting encouragement at the players. The rest of the ground follows. The noise second half was immense, watched the replay today and the commentary was struggling to be heard. Keep playing like this and the ground could double in size and still fill it.
