Do you have a sideline in playing the drama queen son in Schitt’s creek?

James O’Brein is currently arguing with a Moslem gentleman called Dilli about who decides what films are allowed to be watched in the UK

Morning Gemma, here, get the oriental rodent throbbing to all this!! https://understat.com/player/4456

Fair enough, you did say that he contributed to survival too… I wasn’t suggesting that a comparison with Pukki was worthwhile either, but for clubs on a budget buying players with one main skill that isn’t immediately obvious but can be proven with stats is sometimes a way to steal a march on those around you. The first Moneyball book goes into all that. I think Wood was well worth the money we paid for what he contributed .

The internet: no such thing as an “alright” footballer…they’re all either “world class” or “shit”

If you’re including me in this alleged “anti stats brigade” then I’d suggest you look at posts of those who criticised Wood the most. This stat appears to me to be useful because it’s an observable skill, not some mythical “X” bollocks…my opinion of Wood is that for all his size he wasn’t a typical target men/back to goal style centre forward…mostly when he received the ball outside the penalty area he looked to move it on as quickly as possible, sometimes into the space a defender has vacated who was attracted towards him due to his physical size..don’t know if that fits in with your stat but I could see with my own eyes the value of that to the way Howe wanted the team to play 👍

Those leading the err “rebellion” need someone who can unite the party and win an election….SPOILER: there isn’t anyone in that fuckin cabinet is there?? If they’re going to get this done it’ll be from the back benches….Hunt is a twat but far too clever to take it… people are mentioning Penny Mordant who Johnson sacked as Minister for Defence or Tom Tugrhadt…

Who’s keen on taking the job in these circumstances @Gemmill?? Anyone that stupid to be even interested means they’re completely unqualified and will lead the Tories to a 1997 style defeat in 2024. That’s why he’s staying, unless he goes to the country and gets a mandate from the electorate . That looks like his only option and there’s a fair chance it might work in the short term.

I gave what I think is a thoughtful and considered reply to that thread

I looked at his wiki before Fist asked the question

I just looked at his age, fuckin hell I’ve got pants older than him Tories are royally fucked, no one wants to be leader so we’re stuck with him. That’s not good for the country… no one’s got the balls to try to fix the mess Johnson has caused though. Hunt will be lent on to grow a pair today I think….

Plainly obvious you’ve been drinking since 8am

You’re on holiday man :lol:

To lose one anti corruption advisor would seem unfortunate….

Wonder who wrote this for her? … not wrong tbh…

If he wins tonight but gets a coating from his colleagues is there a chance he’ll go to the country? 🤔

Hunt…. not a typo…

He’ll likely win, but so did May and she was gone a few months later….

I was going to say it about Gemmill but thought the same….he’s got enough problems as it is tbf, living in a tent after his 7th divorce can’t be easy

Don’t know about you mate, but me and the current Mrs PL are at work well before and after the times there’s generally kids in the school. Also, it’s entirely in keeping with your curmudgeonly Yorkshire persona to seemingly have issues with the sound of primary school children playing outside
