  1. Not sure this can be pinned on Ten Haag.

    His team had strolled into a 3 goal lead, but as soon as Coventry got one, they went into sit deep mode, and started playing like Coventry were first half. 

    They've enough experience on the pitch to sort that out.

    Possible but a wba & norwch win will probably do them 

    Coventry have to play Ipswich and Hull, buy a couple of easier games too.

    If they win this semi, just hope they can maintain the league push.

    This is where I'm at. Daft thing to say and there's a good chance this copper is a broken man seeing how all this has unfolded. And there's calls for the Commissioner to resign because of a poor turn of phrase from one of his officers. 

    The world has gone bonkers. I hate all this shit me. I'm sick of it! 

    I'm not even sure it was clumsy.

    The bloke was wearing his kippah, so it made sense. Maybe swapping the word openly for clearly may have made it more palatable, but if we're insisting our officers on the ground are to analyse their language to such an extent, we're fucked.

    A tumble down effect of soft arsed politicians and senior police officers allowing this all to develop.

    If they'd clamped down on those marchers behaving badly, much earlier, then this wouldn't have happened.

    Anyway, bollocks to it all, it's depressing. Thankfully, we're nearing the end of our fish pond renovation, and seeing the little things cruising about and exploring is a boon for the soul.

    No wonder the Japanese use them so much.

    Police officers having to make snap decisions in the moment and being recorded and scrutinised every moment. It's not footballers who have 90 mins a week to get it spot on, its 40+ hours a week. 

    Lets him past and it all kicks off, he's at fault. Tries to stop them, uses the wrong word, no idea what he might have said instead "Sorry Sir you are clearly Jewish and heading over there might invite trouble at this particular time". 

    Going to end up with no coppers left, because the level of accountability in public service has gone barmy. 

     

     

    Agreed. 

    This "openly Jewish" comment was for me, nothing but a simple comment with no malice or racist connotations whatsoever. 

    Can understand the ire being expressed, but it should be directed at the top brass, and not the fella trying his best in a shitty situation. 

  5. Talk of physicality in the championship- well Coventry, from what I've seen, have been physical but haven't really got near Utd.

    Not seen it all, but from what I have, Coventry have seemed a bit devoid of ideas/ability to repeatedly cause Utd problems.

    If they were to go up, without more quality, you'd see them struggle.

    Throws loads of bath bombs through the window then get the fire brigade to hose it down. 

    Stinky fuckin dossers need a shoeing after a soaking

    "Professional" squatters I heard them referred as.

    Really does need upgrading to a criminal offence.

    Then send them to Rwanda instead! :)

    KDM MOTM apparently made more tackles than Jermaine Jenas has ever seen him make. 
     

    According to the stats he has made 1 tackle. 

    I'm not convinced about some of these stats.

    Does a tackle mean a successful challenge, or any half-arsed dangled leg, or something in between?

    I think his point was fair in that KDB perhaps played a slightly different game; getting stuck in and involved with the physicals, rather than total craft which we often associate with him.

    They won’t go up because goal difference, next week is a waste of time & many changes will be made

    Pre season friendly 

    They could make a few up this week. A game against Cheltenham. 

    If they win that, then neither side is playing a deliberately weakened side.

    I recently read somewhere that more than that has been spent on the NHS each week since Brexit. With the state it’s in I’m guessing it’s badly managed.  

    I think it's the net £180m that has been surpassed

    Think it comes down a bit next year, but not sure.

    But the spending has been higher than the differential.

    Assuming that labour get in, there isn't going to be any great increase neither, just a continued, and maybe expanded use of the private sector. Which is good.

    Very clever by Israel to target a relatively minor target near to the iranian's nuclear facilities, Israel are basically saying, don't fook with us because we can hit anywhere we want to, while maybe not antagonising Iran too much. 

    Also a means of testing out their air defenses just in case, and helping to plan a fuller attack if necessary.

    Does that mean that you and Spider will now refrain from commenting on Biden and Trump? Seeing as neither of you are Yanks. I would hate to think that either the orange one or the senile one are living rent free in your heads. 

    Quite pathetic isn't it.

    Usual hypocritical, holier than thou bullshit.

    Concept of a discussion forum is lost at times.

    Dead rubber both teams rest key players be like pre season game 

    Should Peterborough win their game in hand midweek, they too could be promoted directly next Saturday. They'd have to beat us by a few, and hope Derby win, but both teams surely will go for the win, just in case the highly improbable happens at Pride Park.
