  1. You’re talking out of your arse. Try and get away from selective stats and use your own fucking eyes. You’re reading it off a spreadsheet compiled by someone you don’t know. You haven’t bothered to list who those games were against and how the goals were scored. You don’t know if the person has correctly categorised Firmino’s position or if we were still playing that formation when he scored his goals. It’s a load of fucking nonsense that doesn’t back up anything. He and the side clearly struggles when he doesn’t play centre forward. The space he creates and workrate we get from him makes it difficult positionally for opposition defenders. Anyone with any small amount of football brain can see he’s clearly better as a centre forward for us and one of the main reasons it functions so well. Sane is a very good player but we’ve got a better and rejigging the formation to fit him in would be stupid. It would also be stupid to “rotate” him with Mane and Salah. They can clearly do full seasons with all the demands it entails. Taking them out of games every week would damage them massively.

  2. Been watching some of his recent press conferences and the feeling I get with Guardiola is it's more about what he doesn't say than what he does. He didn't deny being paid 'off the books'. Just saw his arse about being asked the question and deflected it into an issue of "I've just won the treble and you ask me this NOW???" Also, whenever he's asked about FFP, he doesn't say they aren't guilty, he says he doesn't know anything about it and that his bosses tell him not to worry because they haven't done anything wrong. He then says he trusts them. To me that's setting himself up for his get out of jail free card if UEFA find them guilty. He can say "nothing to do with me guv" and walk off into the sunset, dazzling people with the reflection off his stupid bald head.

  4. There are blind people in McDonalds trying to find tubular drinking devices clutching at less straws than these boring bluenose twats. Once again, for any guests or sleepers on here, you are a fucking irrelevance, bitter, jealous and twisted. The shite you come out with is as moronic as it is deluded. Totally fucking mental.But keep living in your own world, making up shite and living your season through us. Wankers.

  5. What's the actual point of Tom Watson? "She had a difficult job and tried to do it honourably". Tell that to Lenny Henry's mum. He's like your fiance's brother who you have to take on your stag do even though he's a boring dick head you hardly know and spends the night skipping rounds and saying things like "you can all go to a strip club but I'm not".

  10. 1. The match ball from a cricket game I took a hat trick in when I was 13. Adult game, at a decent level. Don't think I quite realised the magnitude of it at the time. Some old fella that used to play for Lancashire in the 50s and 60s said he had taken two in two over 70 times in his career but never a hat trick. I think he was proud and resentful in equal measure. 2. Similar note to above, trophy for being motm in a cup final when I was about 15. Four for, and 50 from about half as many balls. Including hitting an enormous six to win it in the last over. 3. My SNES. 7th birthday present. Wish I had one now actually. 4. The old east German commie coat I bought in Berlin on a college history trip. It was -15 degrees and I was both toasty as fuck and looking utterly immense (almost certainly ridiculous and slightly offensive). 5. My current pair of Adidas Hamburg. They really are incredibly comfortable. 6. Current laptop. Bought one with a 14 inch screen and wish I had done the same with all laptops I've bought. Feels considerably less cumbersome and I have actually stopped twatting into stuff in my house. I'm a clumsy cunt and would regularly take chunks out of the walls. 7. A hat I had when I was about three. It was basically a Postman Pat bowler hat. As you can imagine it looked phenomenal. Sadly I don't have photographic evidence. 8. My copy of Ultimate Soccer Manager. Think it came out in 1994. So I was hammering the management games at the age of 8. I remember Shearer being the most valuable player on the game. He was worth 5m. 9. Chess set I had when I was about 11. It was pretty shit to be honest, but I have good memories of my old man teaching me how to play. Think it probably sparked my interest in poker a few years later 10. A set of cufflinks left to me by my great uncle. They're nothing special, and I think I've worn them once, but he was an exceptional human and it reminds me of him when I see them.

  13. Cameron's arrogance caused Brexit , and May has had 3 years as PM to deal with it , while Labour have been very much in a minority in Parliament for all of that time , so how in god's name are Labour as much responsible ? If May had offered a permanent customs union and agreements on workers and EU workers rights in the recent talks , there could well have been a deal weeks ago , but she , not Labour , was the one who had no intention of taking on her right-wing colleagues for the country's benefit and only met Labour in the hope of spreading blame when her red lines torpedoed the talks.

  14. Why the fuck should Corbyn have done May or the Tories any favours when she derided and ignored all the other parties for three years and then only paid lip-service to a deal when she was corralled into meeting them. Labour's suggestions re customs union and workers rights were perfectly valid requests which would have worked massively in the country's interests and were not 'playing party politics' at all , but suggesting aims that would make the best of the shit show we are placed in. His statement today was spot on , May was a talentless , horrible cunt who never lost a minute's sleep over the millions of people whose lives she made worse as Pm & HS , so fuck the false sentiments when she met her much-delayed spanish archer.

  25. See your GP to rule out anything serious but they are a waste of time for treatment, they generally work through a list and you have to keep going back. You'll be prescribed Naproxen at first, guaranteed (It's shite). You can then self-refer to see a physio but the waiting lists are about 2 months (In England). You're better going private to a good physio or oestepath. I can't comment on Chiropractors as I've never been to one.

  29. Great thread (1) My current car, purely because every other one I've ever had was shite and this one works. (2) SNES - was the first in my school to have one, I waited while they all got Mega Drives. Needless to say, i had the last laugh. (3) Playstation - was late to the party with this but it was brilliant. FFVII, Colony Wars, Tomb Raider. What an era. (4) My Tissot watch. Had it about seven years, real quality stainless steel effort, understated watch in terms of design but it's so fucking heavy I hardly wear it now. (5) My Star Wars Scoutwalker. I din't often get good Christmas presents, not just because we were skint but because my mum had and has really bad taste, but this was her moment in the sun, remember how excited I was seeing it in the bottom of the Crimbo sack with 'Return of the Jedi' written on the box. (6) Old British Rail pocket watch my granddad gave me before he died, he was a guard on the railway for years. I keep it in my drawer. (7) My wedding ring. It took my 33 years to meet a woman that wasn't a complete cunt and it was worth the wait. (8) My first PC. Got it in about 2,000 when they were about 1,500 quid. I'd started an IT degree and was fed up of being the last person in Uni well into the evening so used an overdraft to buy it. Put loads of research into it and had it built, so it was much better than what you'd have got in somewhere like Curry's at the time. Probably the third most expensive thing I've ever owned. (9) My house. Was never fussed on the idea of owning but just wanted to live somewhere reasonably quiet and peaceful, and buying one was the easiest way to not have the hassle of feeling like I could put down roots and still get turfed out by some twat landlord. I've lived in rented property with such landlords and it wasn't nice. So that feels nice in all honesty. (10) My press card. Symbolises quite a bit of hard graft I've put in over the years and it allowed me to set my mate up with an interview with Chris Barry once at a convention.

  31. 1. A signed boxing glove from Jane LA Motta. I took it to the Devonshire hotel when he was a guest speaker. I took it up with my program to get signed. His agent said no to him signing it but Jake La Motta pushed his hand out of the way and said "of course I'll fucking sign it". Probably admiring my cheek at taking a boxing glove on a night out and waiting all night for it to be signed. 2. A signed shirt from the 1984 European Cup winning squad. My Uncle was reserve team manager at Liverpool at the time and got it after we went to see a reserve game. Even got a tour of the boot room before he gave me it. I've turned down about ten offers to sell it. 3. The extension on my house. Had it built for my son with an adapted bathroom. Made my house feel twice as big and has helped his quality of life considerably. I couldn't imagine being without it now. 4. My old car. Was commuting up and down to Cambridge every week on the train and I bought a BMW off some fella who was desperate to sell as he was going abroad. Easiest car I've ever driven and I got a proper bargain. 5. A set of steel goalposts. We used to play footy on the field at the bottom of our road against loads of lads in the area. My dad worked in a steel company and got a set of goalposts made, slightly bigger than hockey goals so it was harder to score in them. Our record match was about 19 a side and one lasted 3 and a half hours. Managed to rob 2 full sized goal nets so stretched them back with stanchions to make them look like Real Zaragoza's massive goal nets. 6. My first house, it might have been a 2 up 2 down terrace in a shite area and shared with my lazy brother but I was desperate to leave home. 7. A plaque with the lyrics to Strawberry fields on. Went to the Strawberry fields memorial in New York and a hippy woman who had a never ending John Lennon vigil gave me the plaque when she recognised my accent. 8. A photo collage of most of the places I've been to around the world. Always brings back great memories when I look at it. 9. A striker bike that I owned when I was eight. Literally never stopped playing on it from the moment I got in. 10. A ring my Mrs bought me on our first year anniversary and she gave me it when we went back to the place we got married in.
