Maybe they have been screwed over because of the socialist policies of the current cretinous chancellor who with her boss is more interested in saving their own skins rather than putting the country first.
We relaid the pitch in the summer of 24, invested in new drainage system.10% of the grass is artificial so there is only one reason why the pitch is failing to pieces…… a marauding Mbengue after half time!
If possible use the A3 to get down. I’ve been sharing my time between MK and the Fareham area for much of the last couple of years now and the motorways have been a real nightmare. First there was M3 widening from the A34 junction to the M27 junction on the M3. Once this was completed they decided to overlay the existing concrete surface between junctions 5 and 7 on the M27 which is now near completion and now thus is finished they are rebuilding the A34/M3 junction.
Last home game of the 2000/01 season against Stockport. We were down and all but seven players were out of contract. Peter Crouch won every award going and it was obvious that nobody wanted to play in that match other than Crouchy. Lost 3-0 and we were lucky to get nil that day. That was the day for me that the club had hit rock bottom.
Left on 90 minutes when two down at home against Brentford a few years back. Was walking ain’t Blomfontein when I heard Pigbag strike up and a couple walked passed me saying ‘well that’s one at least!’ I looked at my phone to see who scored and couldn’t believe that was in fact the equaliser! I can only imagine that the guy in charge of pressing the Pigbag button couldn’t be arsèd after the first goal.
Best thing though is that Liverpool are starting to implode. After spending nigh on half a billion obscene pounds on a few players and unsettling Isak to the extent that he all but went on strike it is a pleasure to watch them lose or struggle to beat promoted teams.
Just had a look on the BBC website for top scorers in the Championship. Currently Burrell is tied fourth but what really is impressive is his shot conversion rate at 32% (2nd) and his shot accuracy at 64% (1st).
We were sold Bazball on the basis that we would win back the Ashes. First 18 months it was fun but then other teams started to suss us out. No plan B. Batsmen looking foolish getting out with awful shots (Brook the master of stupidity there). Bowlers encouraged to continually bowl short which I suspect adds to their injury woes. We have a master bowling in this test pitching the ball up and although aided by more awful shot choices is hoovering up wickets for fun. And yet we still bang the ball in short. In the last couple of years we have lost series away to Pakistan and India, it looks like we will be hammered here. We failed to win our home series against Oz and India and even lost a home test against Sri Lanka who themselves were undercooked in the first test. McCullum has failed miserably and should fall on his sword at the end of this series. And whoever is responsible for the preparation for this series should go as well. I get that the England team didn’t fancy playing second XI state sides but to be fair, any amount of cricket in their legs is better than none. Alternatively they could have organised a short provincial tour of South Africa where pitches are similar to Australia. Instead they just rock up after a short one day tour of NZ where some of that team weren’t even part of the Ashes squad. Sheer arrogance.
Wonder if such a stat existed whether it includes second balls, such as our second goal on Saturday. This is an issue that boils my pîss. Keep two fast players on the half way line, defo the shorter players like Saito or Dembele, the opposition would invariable then keep three back instead of one. And in all likeliness will be defenders who tend to be taller than other players. That’s four players less for a keeper to contend with which means he has more chance of either catching or punching the ball clear, and with the players left upfield less chance of the ball being recycled.
Another factor that needs to be taken into account is the amount of miles between each away game in a three game week. It does seem to me that we consistently get the short straw, Swansea away then Derby, now Blackburn away and then Norwich. Although the EFL did miss a trick last season when they could have scheduled Plymouth away on a Wednesday night followed by a midday kick off at Sunderland!
The issue with the non-dom tax system was a political football kicked at Sunak by the then opposition Labour Party, Sunak himself, born and educated in the UK, a son of a chemist married the daughter of the owner of the Infosys. Mrs Sunak, chose to adopt a non-dom status meaning that she wasn’t liable to UK tax on overseas earnings. Fine by me. But not for the Labour Party. This has seen an exodus of very wealthy people leave the UK, increasing since the election due to the changes in the non-dom tax rules. Now you can certainly say, good riddance etc to them, but the UK economy now loses their tax payments to the UK. The top 10% of income earners in the UK paid 60% of l income tax in 23-24 whilst the top 1% contributed 29% of all income tax. So making tax unattractive to them means eventually a greater tax burden on the rest of us great unwashed. So the choice becomes, a smaller state, slashing welfare spending or much higher taxes for all of us. Trouble with a Labour is that they want none of this. With all the u-turns Starmer has made in the last 18 months, well worth remembering what he said before the election. He would always put the country first before the party. Yeah right.
I’ll usually try and ignore the inane rubbish you put out but on this occasion I won’t. To remember those brave men and women of all creeds and colour throughout the empire/commonwealth with the dignity of being silent for just one minute is not too much to ask. After all without their bravery and for many their ultimate sacrifice to allow generations after to enjoy the simplicity of free speech and free opinions I’m sure that YOU should be thankful. They are the generations that were proud to serve and protect their country and their fellow countrymen which I suspect would not be so much the case today with the current generation. So maybe you should show your respect rather than turning this thread into a mouthpiece for your own agenda.
It may look like he is slowing the game down but if the players around him aren’t showing or making some movement then what options does he have? I suspect that in a better and more mobile side he would be an even better player.
