Churchill was into Eugenics (selective breeding not the dodgy 80s electro band) and had more in common with Adolph than is commonly supposed. Also most of his famous speeches weren’t even him but a voice impersonator. In a nutshell he was a cnt. As is the one today and the other one across the pond. I’d take a draw.

All Mimmsy were the Borogroves. Bobby Mimmsy of course used to play in goal for Spurs so that’s in our favour. The Rs to bandersnatch it 2-1 with a winner from Kwame Jabberpoku [Post edited 7 Mar 11:59]

A (potential) happy story of football social mobility. In the 2021/22 season Leicester were in the Premier League and playing in Europe competing against the likes of Napoli, Roma, and PSV Eindhoven. In the same season Bromley were in the National League battling with Maidenhead, Kings Lynn Town, and Altrincham. On the way to winning the FA Trophy they had to overcome Tonbridge Angels.
Five seasons later Leicester and Bromley could find themselves in the same league. |

If they keep expanding the play-offs by two teams a season we’re in with a shout early 2030s. By then the officiating will be administered by taser-equipped artificially-intelligent robo-refs in which each half will mainly consist of 3 corner-kicks each taking approximately 15 minutes to execute and conclude. Any goals scored in open play will be decided by VAR dna lab sample analysis checking for epidermal-layer offsides which can take up to two weeks to determine. Results being announced at half time during the next fixture. |

Yes he decided to move occasionally, challenge defenders, and also started to put the ball in the back of the net. That’s fking Gerd Muller-levels of competence compared to some of the dreck I’ve seen (see) playing up front for the Rs.
Don’t wanna bang on though - Kone & Burrell (please be fit soon🙏🏼) the best combo I’ve seen up front in W12 for years. |

4 page debate about this a couple of weeks ago. The “creates loads more fixtures” argument is a red-herring. It will add one or two more fixtures for a couple of teams in a season or perhaps no extra fixtures will happen if they make the semi-finals one-leg.
I’m going to watch a Serie C game in Italy next week. The play-offs from the three regional-leagues of Serie C to the one league of Serie B - now that’s something else. The Open University does modules on it. |

I’ll put my hand up and say I thought he was going to come good. There is a player there and he was just hitting some form before he got the injury. The reports from Germany are pretty crap but I can’t retrospectively change the opinion I had at the time. I thought a Madsen-style resurrection was possible. |

It wasn’t until a few years ago that I happened across what must be the most disturbing image I’ve ever seen on the internet - the cover of the Wolves v Liverpool programme 1976 - that game. They went for a sort of faux Wild West theme. I instantaneously puke-vomited. |

Aaaaand another thing. Shirt-pulling. There has always been a bit of this in the game but if the ref saw any he’d blow pronto for a free kick which just about eradicated it. Then over the past few seasons the refs stopped blowing for it unless the shirt is practically over a player’s head. And the increase in shirt pulling has led to an increase in man-handling in general to the point that the 6-yard box during a corner now resembles a game of twister. Why all of a sudden the leniency towards shirt-pulling? I find this mystifying. It’s cheating plain and simple and no different to hand-ball. |

I posted last season or even the season before the aesthetics of the game are changing and the officiating must take some blame. How fking long does it take to take a set-piece and the pedantic-arse refereeing with the voices in their heads via the ear-pieces making them fuss over every corner and free-kick like some kind of OCD window-dresser is a major cause. Any momentum and excitement is stymied and the game is now a succession of set-pieces. Add to this the non-sensical tinkering of just having one player taking a kick-off and you wonder what are the rule-makers, the inept guardians, of the game up to. I agree with dmm that tactics and styles of the game evolve, revolve, and come and go, but the current discontent with the game is not being helped by the officials. Angry of Ongar! |
