  1. Well Damon Albarn lost the battle but won the war, decades of cutting edge music while the Oasis lot just churned out the same old melodies year after year.

    Villa v Sunderland, Lowton gave the best performance I have seen from a villa fullback, probably down to a poor Sunderland team but he was unstoppable. His time at villa was overshadowed by the club been in turmoil, same as few other players that found their form once they had left us. Cash is under the world cup cloud, think a few premier League players are , Man City , Chelsea and Liverpool have all suffered.
  3. It would be very interesting to find out how his @villakram has formed his opinion on this war, his news sources or perhaps a YouTube channel or whatever. For him to believe what he does means Russia's media machine is successfully selling their version of events.
  4. The USA is providing a huge share of help to the Ukrainians, more than the rest of the world combined. Europe is the most baffling of all, France and Germany, the leaders of it, are sitting on the fence, fiddling while Rome burns. Without the USA the Russians would have pushed through the Ukraine as soon as the supplies ran out and Germany would have got it's gas supply back.
  5. I used to drive a pink Rolls Royce for a lady.

    You either love or hate a watch like that, if it holds its value and you like it then what's to lose?
  7. Unless we get another striker in then it's an extremely risky football decision.
  8. Rolls Royce workers had a 10% pay rise and JLR had 12. Join a union.

    Hopefully they have seen something I haven't, looks like he will be straight in the first team squad so hopefully he will show us all what he's got

    No one has written anyone off, it just seems like a shot in dark from us based on the evidence we have. What do you see in him that makes you think he is worth the gamble, his age , his pace, his heading ability all look good but the sample size is so small it seems like a long odds gamble. His international career , even at youth level is unremarkable. Fair enough taking a punt but this seems like the longest odds one we have ever taken. Unless i have missed something?

    This is where the issue is for me, is he any better than Davies? His highlights over the last 12 months or so, compared to Davies shows no clear winner , is the MLS as strong as the championship? I don't think it is. We have had plenty of punts like this recently and I haven't got much confidence in our transfers so far, bar some isolated successes, Kamara and Ollie. This screams of Jordan Bowery to me, I hope I'm wrong.
  13. Russia have won a war of manipulating social media and other internet based platforms into its own interests, it has backed Trump which has led to political turmoil and a whole army of followers that are being manipulated. I also believe it played a large hand in promoting Brexit and benefitting Boris and his cronies. It's using these skills to help muddy the water over its invasion of the Ukraine. They are a rogue nation, murdering their enemies around the world like a cartel. Most people severely underestimate their vulnerability to being manipulated into doing what advertisers and marketing companies want them to do and this physiological science has been turned into weapon against certain countries and their political systems, add AI into the mix and you have an extremely powerful weapon, one that's in it's infancy but is growing exponentially. It's no surprise that China strictly control foreign influences over their social media platforms, they are the ones pulling the strings there.
  14. And me , remember his performance against man city for Swindon, he was good, very good. My guess is Emery or his scouts will have looked at all our loan players and highlighted who we could use now and Kesler is one of them. With Cash injured and Young needing to rest he could get his chance sooner than we all think.

    Be interested to know whos scouted him, seems a big gamble on the face of it. The videos of him look promising but K Davies in the MLS would be the star player, jury's out on this one for me, we have a longish list of players who have come from nowhere and been failures. Just hope I'm wrong.
  16. £600 for 40m of 150mm facia , uPVC white. https://www.plasticshub.com Scaffold maybe £1000 but once that's up should take more than 3 days for two workers, £600 a day thats £1800, I would get a couple more quotes from companies that specialise in facias ..
  17. Roofer......You don't need a roofer for that job there's companies that specialise in just the facias and soffits, it's a lot less skilled than roofing. Tbh that sounds very expensive, get a few more quotes.
  18. Just finished the series We Own this city, great TV, if you liked the Wire then this is a must see. Great TV ..
  19. Hopefully the logistics and knowledge to commission these type of weapons is beyond the figures behind these private armies but we wouldn't know that. If Putin was to lose power would we even know, he may have already been compromised? All these super yachts make sense, the first sign of any real trouble and he/they will make a run for one of them that's in international waters / Russian control. It's going to be an interesting couple of months. Thanks @bickster , great insight into the power struggles that will bring the downfall of Putin.
  20. I went to a few Oasis concerts ,Knebworth being one but tbh for my friends and me the music wasnt why we went , it was as you say boring. The music of the ,90's was house and garage. Underground clubs built around the influx and influence of Ibiza , Oasis was like Harry Styles is now.
  21. Leeds goal, for the pass out of defense to Neville's 'next pele' Bamford was 2 yards offside, I know we have first and second phases of play when it suits but the whole offside confusion is still an issue. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxVLDiEP1hetIoMygSuVUoEVzzQQqMU1gJ
  22. I noticed this as well, they seem to be getting it. They are also quicker to decide where it's going. The issue is the pass into midfield, Kamara was the only real option which led to long balls which we couldn't hold onto, or turning back across the defence. We need more movement into space in the midfield. Martinez is unbelievable, just having him on the pitch is a boost for us all, a world cup winner. His saves will grab the headlines, two of them, but his presence in the box (on the edge of it) is superb. He looks like a world class player , he looks like the best keeper in the Premier League.
  23. His assist for the first goal was top notch , 50 yard run, dummied their defender and passed the ball through two of their players for Bailey. Our goal of the season so far.
