    I've been offered a decent enough paid job at a good, growing company, still shifts but only 8's and maybe the odd half a shift on a Saturday morning every three weeks. It's been three months since I was made redundant and things were looking bleak job wise after I'd exhausted some good early leads because some of the few jobs available belonged in a Dicken's novel just going on the T&Cs. I honestly feel like crying with the relief of it. Easy to get to and no bad traffic time starts. Thank christ for that.

    Shearer didn’t fancy him and his fate was sealed when Dalglish replaced KK and also didn’t think he grafted enough.  


    Shearer didn’t fancy Les Ferdinand as a strike partner?…surprised at anyone saying that. I thought  Shearer was on record as saying LF was one of his favourite strike partners?… he always wanted someone to do his donkey work iyam…Dowie, Newell,Sutton, Ferguson etc etc..,

    I don't agree those are the only options but, 

     

    Bruno is easier to make up in the aggregate than Isak. Sell Isak and, like Alex says, we'd need to buy 2 strikers. And Striker tend to be the most expensive position to fill. Bruno is outstanding, but we could find a talented midfielder that meshes well with our style for <£50m.


    We basically haven’t played with a fit striker since before Christmas. We’ve scored a lot of goals in that time, keeping them out has been the problem for reasons done to death on here. It’s the best midfield outside the top three when all are fit. Mad to break it up. 
     

    But David, as always, your opinion gets my respect 👊🏻

    Disagree. We’d need to buy two strikers then, Shirley. I’m not sure we need to sell anyone, mind. As a lot of the press etc seem to assume is the case. 


    Yeah it’s only the press where this narrative is coming from. But having to buy two strikers is basically the same as buying a top class midfielder and a striker..

  5. If we’re going to have to lose a top player this summer I’d sell Isak tbh . We really don’t give him enough service for him to display his huge talent and our midfield/ wide players score goals for fun :cuppa:

    His war books are fantastic- haven’t read them in ages but I may have too again. 
     

    His description of meeting Harry Secombe for the first time is unreal. :lol:

    “seen any tanks round here?”

    Never read Joyce, but Spike Milligan used the same phrase in his seminal war time memoir “Rommel?/Gunner who?” :)

    I've never thought that. But weren't you literally saying they would achieve CL football today? [alright that was Aimaad BUT MY POINT STANDS] 

    GD is telling. Somehow they are sixth with a negative goal difference. We are better than ManU, we can finish above them. 


    Beat Chelsea a week tomorrow and them in April and we will :cuppa:

     

    Very unlikely to catch Spurs or Villa, they play each other next weekend,  Villa win that and 4th is nailed on..

    Did six horses actually finish?

    Steeplechases and hurdles are ridiculous carnage for racing horses.


    It was a huge field for a hurdles race at a non elite course, 17. This was very likely due to the  sponsors boosting the prize fund so it paid more than the equivalent (2 mile) hurdles race at National Hunt’s premier racing festival at Cheltenham later this month. As far as I could make out all horses finished.

    All valid points but we almost need an independent inquiry at the minute to look into the stuff that just goes in this lots' favour.

     

    There's absolutely a "you make your own luck" element to it, and maybe it's as much as 90%, but there's no doubt in my mind that this lot get help in a way that I don't think any other team does, including Man United.


    Don’t know if this has been posted on here before but I seem to remember people questioning the impartiality of those who compiled it :lol:  it’s like a “black ops” counter propaganda campaign :D

    I'm confused as to why Paul Tierney didn't blow for full time when Forest regained possession on the edge of their box? Surely that's a new phase of play and it was beyond 98mins at that point. 


    What they put up on the board is only advisory. Not seen it but Isegrim said yesterday that the time added on was legit. 
     

    Think we’d feel the same as Forest but they did have 80 secs to defend better before Nunez scored apparently. It’s like  Eddie’s first reaction to Diaz’s winner last season at Anfield… “we should’ve defended the corner better” ..
