  1. I don't, just legislation to make their priorities the service they provide and then dividends. At the moment they are providing the minimum amount they can to maximise the dividends. With water, a national scandal, they are being allowed to pump sewage into our rivers and onto our shorelines at will, this has to be stopped ASAP.
  2. Got to the byline and crossed with his right foot, first time I have seen him do this in I don't know how long. Good game from him, kept it simple and got the rewards. If he can build on this then he can be a big asset to us.
  3. The traditional top 4, bar man city, are weak. Brighton are a great team but next season we should be finishing ahead of them and a few others, top 4 is available.
  4. The penalty........It's a contentious decision but its not clear either way. Pick a fight your favourite to win. The Bailey offside free kick, taken from a meter into our half, is a clear and obvious error that needs an explanation, there's a linesman and a ref yet it's a basic error that the lowest level of officials should be getting right. The real explanation would be ......Spurs and the other traditional 'big 6' push the barriers of the law. That ref/ linesman should not be officiating games at this level.
  5. None of them are, severe lack of quality on show in this game.

    There is no doubt in my mind that we will challenge the top 4 next season, the only team that's streets ahead is man City. All the others are beatable.
  7. Gerrard's ego is never going to work in the modern game. The way Mings was treated was a clear indication of his crap man management. Plenty of these X players are uneducated, they are picked for stardom at a very early age and their education takes a back foot while their ego takes on huge amounts of hot air. The ones that become pundits are the cream of the crop, that tells you all you need to know.
  8. This was unbelievable, the fa needs to be asked about this , blatantly shit refereeing or unconscious bias.
  9. MacPhee had a thing about the 10 yards not being followed, he spoke to the fa over it. Think the players let the ref set the wall up and then pace 10 yards back themselves to get the distances right, rather than relying on the ref to get it right. Sometimes this means we pull the free kick back a bit to get the 10. Tbh I was surprised Doug scored, can't remember the last time he did, from a free kick.....not a corner .
  10. The free kick was took 2 yards back from the foul, he gave us nothing.
  11. Superb today, can't believe how much he's improved in a season. Well done Tyrone for staying strong when things went against you, less than a year ago, a credit to the club.
  12. Bailey flagged for offside and the free kick took a meter into our half sums the officials up today I'm afraid, hopelessly biased.
  13. Let's not let the penalty decision cloud what was a superb performance from us, we had some moments of uncertainty for their chances, the few they had, that we gave to them. We controlled large sections of the game and another day we could have scored at least another goal if not 2. Mings my motm but Moreno, Konsa and McGinn all had good games, not to mention Ramsey. On the ref........Martinez never got a touch and Kane did, not sure if he was offside but it was a close call, if he was onside then its a penalty. The ref however constantly ignored Spurs fouling us and punished us when we returned the favour, McGinns yellow was bizarre as spurs had just committed a similar foul that went completely unpunished. The linesman was horrendous, he was letting play go on for minutes after clear offsides and then flagging, they wasn't even close decisions. Fantastic result, Emery is the 2nd coming.
  14. Why don't you just use caulk, a quality one?

  16. Let's see how it all plays out, Europe is under threat and its not being helped by divisions between its major players , the UK being one of them.
  17. Russia has changed the game since the last sit down, Eastern European and a few Scandinavian countries are looking to the UK for security outside of the EU. France and Germany have been shown as weak when it comes to Russia. Russian war ships are cruising around a defenceless Ireland. The UK has leverage, its not a subject that would be played out in the open but behind closed doors it will be on the table. https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/british-and-irish-forces-monitor-russian-warship-off-ireland/
  18. The world's changed since brexit, Russia started threatening Eastern Europe ( Russia backing brexit makes sense) The UK has a big part to play in Europe's security and history proves that.
  19. I voted remain, i love Europe and believe its easily the best place in the world to live. The deal we have now is the worst deal we could have had and thats down to a few idiots who overplayed our hand to grab the headlines amd the votes. We can have a better deal than we have now if we get around the table and be sensible. Free trade and movement of people would be a start. The world's changed since brexit, Russia started threatening Eastern Europe ( Russia backing brexit makes sense) The UK has a big part to play in Europe's security and history proves that.
  20. Watching city last night, Grealish hardly ever took the defender on or played a creative pass, behind the defenders. He drew the defenders in then passed the ball. Even for him, who was an excellent creative player, the main priority is to keep possession. This is the way forward for us. Bailey isn't grasping this technique, Mc Ginn is a better at it and maybe we will see him back out there if Kamara is fit enough to play..
  21. Bailey is a limited player, offensively, like Bert, they both want to cut in do their thing and its far to easy to defend against. From a defensive point of view they are both pretty limited in the challenging/tacking department, they will close down but not effectively for 90 minutes. They also don't keep possession well enough or know when to pass and keep possession, they take to many high risks with poor returns for a possession based team. You have to keep possession or have players who can gain possession in the team, ATM we have to many players , Bailey, Bert, Buendia and some others who lose possession far to cheaply, you need some chance takers but ones that have the right balance between risk and reward. Losing possession with 2 or 3 opposition players around you 35 yards from goal is a big liability.
  22. Forest will still go down, gonna be quite a finish to this season
  23. I would imagine Emery has a list of players he wants that he's already identified, there's a strong chance that most of them are not premier league players, Moreno is a good indicator on the sort of signings he will bring in. Personally I think we need a RB and another central midfielder to play alongside Kamara, we have midfielders who are very similar to each other and this needs to change. We may see some first team players leaving as well, in order to accommodate a change in character in the team, we need more aggression.
