And all 5 of those subs were fucking shite

Hard to be that annoyed with them. I hate it when when we don't turn up to games like this. But we dominated Derby for 80 minutes and created a few decent chances. Derby defended well saying that but we're always going to need a set piece to break us down. I'm gutted with the result but not the performance. Plenty of twists left if we carry on playing like that.

They've brought a midfielder on for Gayle. Seems to have tipped the balance in their favour

Not sure about Coleman's positioning for that free kick

Awful defending from that set piece. Should probably be 1-1

I know it's an anxiety provoking match when my fingers go cold! 😁 Come on - we can get through this! 🤣🤣

Ah OK. I suppose I was specifically talking about Bolton. Can't vouch for anywhere I haven't lived.

Maybe? I'd say that's the exception rather than the rule though. Maybe I've just been unlucky. What area are you in?

This is absolutely superb! 🤣🤣 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/nT9WLidttApgaVDz/

I agree with this as well and have been saying it for years. People don't like to hear it - but some of the immigrant communities I see around me feel more like the Bolton I remember of old. Wanderers is one of the last White British working class community institutions in the town. And even that has been sanitised. We don't do church anymore. Pub and club culture has died a death. Most of us do well to even have a relationship with our next door neighbours. It's an unhappy place to live in general. I've lived in places that are relatively impoverished but where people seem happier because of social ties and a sense of community. I wonder if we've gone too far to ever really get it back?

I agree with a lot of this Mounts. I think we have lost some of that sense of community. I only remember the early 80's and a lot of this still rings true. Popping next door to borrow some milk or some sugar is one I remember. And taking a proper plate to the chippy is another one! 😁 Where I grew up (Longfield Road up Hulton Lane) I felt like I knew everyone for about 3 streets on every side. All the kids at least. Some happy, nostalgic memories of a different time. We're human beings. We're social animals who thrive off that sense of community. It's certainly easier nowadays. Whether it's as good for the soul I'd question?

I've still not forgiven Marco Gabiadini

Their Daniella Westbrook one is pretty accurate mind!

I read the other day that we're holding $300 billion worth of frozen Russian assets. Why aren't we using that to fund Ukraine?

"What's this? It's got a good beat" 😁

It's not that the headliners aren't subversive. It's that the festival has lost it's subversive feel (for me). The headliners are the most vanilla, Now That's What I Call Music vol 3682, Smashy and Nicey, inoffensive drivel I could possibly think of. But that seems to be the target audience of the festival these days. I think we see this one very differently mate. I doubt we're going to agree. Maybe a conversation for the pub next time you're up! 😁

I genuinely wouldn't go watching Dua Lipa if she was playing at the Reebok and it was free. I think you've been hanging round girls for too long! 😉

It certainly used to be with a couple of thousand crusties climbing over the fences and the travellers breaking in. IDK - always seemed to have a subversive edge to me. Now it feels like Henman Hill.

🤣

That was the whole point of MMA though. To understand which fighting style works best when they fight under the same rule set. And it became pretty obvious quite quickly that boxers didn't fair very well. It was the wrestlers, the grapplers and the Ju Jitsu fighters that invariably came out on top. The MMA fighters have evolved now to the point where they can do a bit of everything. But most of the successful ones tend to have a solid ground game. I know who I'd be backing if Jon Jones or Tom Aspinall fought Tyson Fury or AJ if it wasn't boxing rules. I'd be very surprised if the boxer made it through one round. And I enjoy both sports......

He was talking about that a couple of weeks ago wasn't he?

Must have been one hell of a big cat

It's about being underground and a bit edgy. Not the Radio 1 Big Weekender. It's a bit like the football. It's all become middle class and sanitised. And the people who used to make it what it was are being edged out and marginalised. Traditionally parents have been looking at their kids generation and worrying that they've got too rebellious. It's the polar opposite now. I'm looking at them and wishing they had something interesting to say - or could offend me in some way. Or make me think. As opposed to just being insipid. It's depressing. And it's also depressing that Glastonbury has sold itself out. I loved that place once upon a time. Anyway - I've said my piece. It's basically a pop party nowadays in my opinion.

I think this guy is woefully missing the point!
