Aye, the tiny part of it that is left to cling on to will be gone.

He cleared it well too. I think he'll get 6.3 this year.

Mondo Duplantis opens up his outdoor season with a world record. What an athlete.

He's pure box office isn't he?

He should be a household name by now.

These arguments always come up when the team struggles. Nobody was analysing the social demographics after we beat Barca 4-0. 
Tomorrow is important to get the atmosphere and the team back on track, though.

It's been an issue all season and has come up in conversation amongst my group of mates a lot.

Do you think the atmospheres have improves or have been as good as 2019?

Too many upper class twats with money at the match now just for the experience. They just don't seem to get it.

It's an event to go to for these people. I hate how much results have an impact on my life. A lot of the time it feels wrong, I doubt that a lot of the people who attend games now give it a 2nd thought.

Who is right and who is wrong is the question though. The whole game is horrible nowadays.

He's not going to shag you mate.

Haha, I don't expect him to.

I just couldn't believe the level of stick he gets from men who wouldn't be able to walk 100 yards. 

I'm sure he'd like to have the good health to have been competing more. 

Also, Roman Reigns gets a lot of shit from keyboard warriors who are probably soft as shite in real life. The shape he's gotten himself into while he fights the battle with that disease every day is incredible.

Yet, when you look on social media you see clowns who are about 20 stone of lard giving him shit for being part time. Clowns who probably take days off work with a cough. Roman is an incredible man who should be put up there as a role model. Gets that disease, gets released from the NFL side he was with within a month of getting sick. A pregnant fiancé at home. He didn't let life keep him down. Hope he takes a break away now if he needs it.

Watched it with my 7 year old lad this evening (I had to pretend I didn't already see it). His reaction to Undertaker appearing was bloody class. I thought he was going to faint!!

The Bayley match was superb, the Rollins vs Drew match played put really well and Priest's South of Heaven was amazing.

I hope The Rock hangs around, he's been absolutely hilarious. 

That was one for the kids that. As a young lad I'd have lost my mind seeing the legends come back. 

Night two was great.

The team I heard is endo, Macca, Dom. Gomez right back, robbo left back and surprisingly to me, konate playing for the 2nd time in 3 days. 

Same as me. 

Kelleher, Gomez, Konate, VVD, Robbo, Endo, Mac, Dom, Salah, Nunez, Diaz

Kelleher will overtake Ali on appearances for us this season today.

I used to play and keep an eye out on cheap and young players who went on yo be really good. When that game ran it's course, I'd go to my notes and know who to sign. 

I didn't like saving before a big game. It took the nervousness out of the situation.

I’ll try again, this time even more obvious. 

 

Is Andy Robertson picking the Scotland team? Is Andy Robertson the one who makes the subs n the Scotland team?

 

The answer is no.

 

You would think this was fuckin obvious, but going by some of the posts in this thread  and another thread you would think he was playing manager. 

Spot on, Code. 

The captain of the side isn't going to pull out of games. Especially coming up to a major tournament.

My eldest daughter doesn’t like her for that reason. Too much makeup and fake tan apparently. She’s rooting for the other girl this week. I just love that accent on a good looking lady. 
 

It was filmed last summer, to be fair. 

I'm not fond of her either mate. I was rooting for the Scottish girl, who blew it to be fair.

The arrogance and the worm in the celebrations made her look like a tool in the previous episodes. She beat a one-eyed woman and done the worm ffs.

Who is on co-comms here?

They won two throw ins high up the pitch in quick succession from offsides that were not flagged iirc. It helped them build pressure.

Yet for ours the flag goes up and ref whistled.

Richard Keys (I know, I know) is all over Oliver. Sadly as Richard Keys is a massive hairy dick his opinions won't make it into the mainstream but he's spot on here.

What did Jurgen Klopp have for lunch if he thought Stewart Attwell was going to tell Michael Oliver he’d made a mistake? There was no chance of that happening. Zero. None. Not Sunday. Not ever. And I’ve been telling you all this for months now.

 

Of course Liverpool should’ve had a late pen - but once Oliver had decided otherwise, Attwell was in a really invidious position. There was no way he was going to ask Oliver to go to the monitor.

 

Not since Saturday, September 4 2022 has that happened. Do you remember the incident? The match was Forest v Bournemouth. Forest were awarded a pen by Oliver when Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly handled.

 

Before the kick was taken, Oliver was invited to the monitor to review his decision. He decided his original call was correct. Of course he did.

 

At the time we all praised him for having the guts to stick with his decision. I believe it was the first time a ref had stayed with his on-field call after being sent to check it. Well - overturn it, because that always happens.

 

What isn’t so well known - but I’ve referred to it before - is that Oliver was furious he’d been asked to check his decision and he let his colleagues know, in no uncertain terms, at their next meeting. I can’t think of too many times since - if any - when Oliver has been back to a monitor. I would add that he’s one of the busiest when he’s in the bunker - but the message is clear when he’s got the whistle - don’t bother me.

 

I mentioned this only last week. I’ve lost count of the other occasions when I’ve referred to it. I’ve had people ridicule me for sticking to my guns on it - but now do you believe me?

 

Oliver is a fool to himself behaving the way he does. Perhaps he didn’t see Doku do his Nigel de Jong impression? What’s wrong with checking? Or perhaps Guardiola’s pre-match comments (which the FA should ask him for his observations on) were rolling around in his mind? Whatever - Attwell failed to do his job properly.

 

I read as I write that Attwell believed Doku’s foot was in a ‘reasonable position’. Please. Why do we go through this farce every week? You got it wrong guys. No amount of covering up or excuses will change that.

What's he talking about with the drug cheats pre-match comments?

Not having that. That was a massive trophy to win for West Ham. 

Belated happy birthday, Stig.

Hope you have a cracking weekend.

There's something very Fowler about Diogo's finish there.

And he has that Suarez knack of knowing where the ball is going to bounce. Quality goal that.

Getting back to running after piling on the weight and being a lazy fuck.

 

Starting back with 5ks, 3x a week and 9:30 miles pace. Its grueling and slightly depressing when I used to run much faster, with less suffering. But it is what it is, I have to get through the start to get the habit back.

Rick, that's the start of my week this week word for word. 

Name three posters from the forum you'd like to go for a pint with.

Should we be using Gomez as a utility player going forward or should we be looking to get him to nail down a position and spot in the side.

Fair enough. I'd only seen what looked like a promotional shot of him holding the newspaper. 

 

Granted, he's only a kid anyway. Albeit the oldest looking kid ever. And the victim of an obese paedophile. 

Anything with him and the paper is on his parents, imo. Same with his physical condition at 16 years old, that's on his parents too.

I hope the lad gets a good team around him, he'll need it.
