    Hopefully not, he only turns up half the time according to my Barnsley mates over here and otherwise just goes missing. We need better than that. I’d take Luca, or better still Keillor-Dunn but please not Philips.

    I'd swap the fucker for one of their turnstile operators

    Beating Atheltico Madrid, Red Star Belgrade and drawing with Bayern Munich all away isn't an achievement?

    Why don't we just fuck the whole of football off and just let the top 4 play eachother every week.

    We were the first English team to beat Red Star in Belgrade

  3. Just looked at the prem table for the first time in god knows how long.

    I knew the bottom 3 are miles off but Jesus, didn’t realise Spurs and United are 1 and 2 place off the relegation places

    I find the initial statement bizarre. 

    I'd like to think a promotion side isn't so beholden to a keeper, and that it would be more a sum of its parts.

     

    Read somewhere that both Southwood and Baxter were amongst the lowest percentages of shots saved in the division.

    I'll stick my neck out and say he won't.  That's not a dig at him, he has other qualities, but if you can't head a ball very well (or use strength to hold it up), you just can't, as shown by most players in our squad. 

    Same with trying to use the other foot, only Collins seems to have that string to his bow (an underrated skill IMO).  Imagine trying to teach Santos to kick accurately with his left foot.

    I don’t believe he can’t head a ball. He chooses not to. He shits out of every single aerial challenge. 
     

    It’s the lack of effort that’s unforgivable and he can fuck right off.

    The NI waiver only applies to people who work for specific Indian businesses who are temporarily working over here, it ensures people are not paying in both countries. The same waiver applies to UK people going to work over there .

    It does not mean all Indians coming here are NI free. It is not a new concept there are 17 similar deals in place with our countries. 

    Tell the usual fuckwits on twitter and facebook that.

    Apparently it would affect 1800 people currently. I bet there's more than 1800 Brits working for British companies in India,

    As much as McAtee has frustrated us at times this season, I'll stick my neck on the block and say he will have a strong role to play next season, alongside Collins, Randall and a new 'strong' forward. I think SS can mould them a bit once he has his own players in. But i think Lolos and CMG days may be numbered!

    I'd be hugely disappointed if some absolute mugs don't come in for McAtee. 

    Everything I hate in a footballer that bloke. Proper wrong un

    I actually think on this occasion he’s trying to dink the ball over the lunging tackler, which if it would have come off, would have been a great bit of skill.

    Possibly. I wasn’t quite that generous when watching it on the night

    Sheehan doesn't shit out of tackles by any stretch.

    Agree he's not been at the races for a few months now but in a proper midfield with decent attack I think he's perfectly good enough for a team pushing for promotion. 

    Finding a defence splitting pass is rather difficult when you've no strikers infront of you.

    Exhibit A - and it cost us a goal

    Sorry mate. 

    The worrying thing is - I may well have copied that from you and then re-pasted it almost immediately! 😂

    2-3 weeks turned into 2-3 hours what a shit day. 
     

    If anyone suggests that they would like people to be there for their final moments tell them it is the shittest idea ever. 

    Feel for you, mate. Be strong 
     

    I want to go in my bed in the middle of the night, suddenly in my 90s with the least inconvenience to others as possible.

    Sorry for your loss Ani.
    The end for all of us is something we have little control over. 
    My experience with my Dad was something I’ll treasure. Bolton Royal Infirmary in the middle of the night. The end was near but the three of us (brother and sister) decided to take shifts. Luckily for me, it was my shift as he passed away holding my hand. 

    Of course it’s different for everyone and people will have different views. Only 3 people I would like at my demise. 

     

    Similar to my family’s experience, except my brother was there not me.  
     

    Middle of the night and he’s climbed onto the bed with him and fell asleep.  A nurse woke him up to say dad had gone. 
     

    Was glad it was him as I’m a shithouse coward and he was always his favourite

    I thought we had sorted this years ago Mick. I have dual nationality. Only because one previous Labor PM threatened to deport all of us (and there were tens of thousands) who didn't have the meat pie inserted.

    Yes, I voted in the Australian election. Yes, for a party on the right of the spectrum as you would expect.

    Nope, I had no idea.
