Very important, team seems much more together at the moment I remember Keegan saying he liked to build partnerships around the pitch, pairs of players who link well. At the moment him and Isak seem to be dovetailing nicely. Yes it's against "lesser teams" but the very complaint everybody was making was that we only turn up against the big teams For my money most important thing that needs fixing in the squad is cover for Isak. If he's out we've got nobody

Just got word that I have been selected as the Lead EC Mentor for my district! EC(Exceptional Children) is same as Special Education FYI and looking forward to helping fellow teachers figure out the best way forward to ensure their students get and stay on the right path. Am a licensed expert on Dyslexia also which is rampant in our district and I think another reason I got the position. Anyway, off now to enjoy a nice Duvel in celebration! 🤘🍻

I'd lace KCG like. His head would stand out like a sore thumb when I'd finished with him.

I just had to rewatch the highlights to check I hadn’t dreamt Murphy’s backheel assist for Isak’s third goal. Beautifully cheeky bit of skill. Btw if Salah had done that it would be headline news…

So basically Zoidberg is only here to practice his skills in dealing with "special" folks.

That's another of my career options gone then. 🙁

We run a tight ship... They have a shite tip...

Lot of cheek firing from Gemmill, a man who used to use Tapatalk with a straight face

I thought the decision was fair. Fury didn't offer much more than being a big fat fuck

the murdering bindipping cunts are gonna piss the league. this actually makes me feel like vomiting.

Just put the global PL feed on for Man U v Bournemouth, Bournemouth 1-0 up and there's genuine angst and worry for Man U. Lads, you're supposed to slightly favour the underdog. Sorry? Oh right, you are favouring the underdog.

I do like Saka. He's not a cunt like a lot of their players and the manager. Seems a top lad and a great player.

We shouldn't be asking where it can be spent. We should be asking whether a foreign national who doesn't live or pay taxes in this country should be able to pump that much money into the political system. The obvious answer is no, and it should be stopped in that basis alone. But since you asked, Farage isn't exactly known for sticking to the rules, is he? And the election commission isn't exactly known for having the teeth to enforce them. Remember Brexit campaign spending? They broke all the rules there too, and once the vote had taken place, there was nothing anyone could do about it.

I’d 100% keep him til the summer. Any new incoming will need to go through the EH process and even then, might take a good while to gel into the team.

Can't wait for Gary Neville's "Podcast" tomorrow. Another 20 minutes of him crying about Man United, followed by 5 minutes summing up all the rest of the games.

There’s very little objectivity in the media about their performance because loads of them are willing them to be a top side again.

Crisp packet on the pitch klaxon, are they trying to hoodwink Amad to think he’s back at the SoS playing plodders ?

For the same reason we need you to work when we play.

👍😂😂😂 three nowt to a very ordinary looking Bournemouth

I thought Grealish chose the wrong option going to man city which seems crackers looking at the stuff they've won but to me every time I see him he's in the wing where at Villa he'd drive on through the middle. Purely on his development it was a mistake imo. (He still gets picked for England because he's not going to be dropped playing for a CL team especially under Southgate).

Aye we're coming back into the European mix just as their season is about to become pure bedlam as well. This season could still be a massive success despite some of the troubles so far.

Aye it's 100% a purple patch for Murphy. That said, he has more purple patches than most of the Ashley crop, loves the club, and seems a great character to have around.

Used to spar with my mates when I was younger. Not sure exactly what you’d regard as being a boxer but it’s at least an eye opener in terms of how difficult it is to hit and not get hit. Why like? Do you want a fucking fight? Because I don’t

I’m happy for Murphy’. He’s a good enough as a squad player, cover a few positions and is good enough to allow better players a rest against this sort of opposition, in cup games etc. We still desperately need a new RW. None of our options in that position are really good enough for where we want to be.

It's 2024 bitch, nobody sub pension age is on here on a laptop.

He's just lost a fight to the bloke in May. The answer was never gonna be "come back fatter".

We've played 3 average to poor teams. He should have swept up on the Wissa chance (not the goal) but made a good save in the end to redeem himself. He is far better with his feet and teams don't press him like they would with Pope so it gives us a better chance to build from the back. I think he'll face bigger challenges when we play better teams but great start so far. 1 goal conceded in 3 games.

At the risk of being told to fuck off from the thread 🙂

What would the money be spent on? There's a cap of £55k spending on campaigning per constituency, which is £34 million in total. I'm not sure money plays as an important role in politics in the UK as it does in the states. Also think a stronger Farage will hurt the Tories more than Labour. But yes, if I were Starmer I'd make it illegal and close any loopholes.

Background on post match video. Scruffy bastards.

He has been phenomenal the last 3 games. Perfect time to flog him in January.

1-0 to the Toon, Murphy bicycle kick from outside the box in the 90th minute.

I reckon we win this - aye we've played some dross but we do look much better and I don't think that Liverpool game was just a fluke. We get a result here then go to Old Trafford with heads high, then I really think we can start to kick on into second half of the season. I'll go 2-0 as well.

“Let’s see how things are going in the Villa dressing room, Jim”… “ Ok, thanks Jim. “

I know I have had a fairly favourable run so far, but you’re all fucking welcome.

Up to 7th and in the semi final of the cup. The Howe Out patter is looking dafter by the day.

I've got two good'uns as well, most of their mates seem ok, let's hope they don't turn into sheep as they get older. On a personal note life looks like it could be getting a bit easier as the wife has been awarded a monthly payment after six months of waiting which now means I can go part time which is a massive relief and boon for both of us and the girls. (I just have to persuade the new job to let me do reduced hours and I also have an interview for a PT job on my doorstep so hopefully one of those options bear fruit). As far the rest of the world/UK, hard to ignore the shit but I'll try not let it affect my life.

Especially nights 👍

Kalvin Phillips is one of the biggest busts I have ever seen. I mean going from being at the World Cup with England and being a potential star for Man CIty, to now coming on as a sub for lowly Sheeran FC.

FYP

Kalvin Philips coming on. Just finished his Festive Bake

Murphy’s the new Salah

Last season Foden was superb. Then he met Safegate.............

One of the times I stayed near Ipswich for a couple of days for an evening match the day after a bank holiday it was a little town called Manningtree, they were as bemused by us as we were by them but it was a good laugh. One of the locals was called 'piggy' and his son, also called 'piggy' had a season ticket at Ipswich.
