That was the straw that broke that camel's back for me. I was just about willing to forgive the constant punches to the nearest striker, hoofs into row Z, diving for shots in installments and ill-judged social meeja moves until he spaffed that one. And he has the cheek to charge several hundreds of pounds to coach young kids on fùcking goalkeeping technique. |

That's pure quality but when I learned he didn't actually play bass on "Rock the Casbah" it was like realising the man you've been calling "daddy" all your life should actually be Norman Watt-Roy. Disturbing. |

The quality of football in this league is usually variable but this year it's almost as though the players have collectively decided to really shìt the bed in a dirty protest at Sky's fùcking with the schedules.
You can't look at this and tell me there's not at least two, possibly three players "sending a signal." In Italy you'd be looking at their bookies accounts.

I think you've nailed it in the second sentence. If you replace Morrison (unbeaten in however many) and Cook (fronting a Richard Dunne tribute band) with Clarke Salter ("they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!") and Morgan Fox (look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around my eyes, look into my eyes, you're under) then bad things will happen. Even made Nardi look shìt today and I elected him PotY about 2 months ago. [Post edited 26 Dec 2024 21:10]

Reply | Where are the "Nourry out" comments now ???
at 19:07 23 Dec 2024
Back in November on the massive Noury Out thread I said
In every substantive way, the club has gone out of the way this season to restrict and filter information, whether that be financially (transfers, contract lengths), operationally (who's fit to play and when anyone isn't will be fit, access to the coaching staff) or organisationally (who works here and what they do).
Since then someone's decided to communicate regular - and pragmatic - injury updates (we went from Dembele being "a few days away" to "fùcked until Feb, earliest"), and we've had a reasonable statement about how and why our head of performance is on another continent (still don't agree with it).
Like our performances on the pitch, it's by no means perfect but the comms from the club have improved and that shows a willingness to listen and act. Nourry will find running this club like tap-dancing in a mindfield and will doubtless blow another toe off at some point but if he's responsible for the change in comms... fair play. |

Shìt goalkeeper but he was the dapperest player at the club with his chunky knit jumpers and his effortlessly smart but casual wool/cashmere numbers.

I like C block (rows M up), view is pretty good, although in the platinum price band so you're paying £40+ for what is technically a restricted view (School End goal bisected by the far left support stanchion).
B block (to the right) is gold so cheaper and probably a better view (although tricky to see what's happening in the Loft/SAR corner. Bit more atmosphere in F & G being closer to the Loft but you have to do a weird combination of going up to go across to go down to get to some seats.
The catering is pretty meh since the converted the bar into the C Club (or whatever that restaurant is) but no worse than the rest of the ground and for my money, better than Ellerslie. [Post edited 13 Dec 2024 14:16]

"an incident that was not seen by match officials at the time" covers most of the game so they've surely thought it was worth a go.
Although if I was a 32yr old, internationally-capped midfielder who'd played in the Premier league and the only way I could deal with an 18yr old in his first professional season was by smashing him tae fùck, I'd have held my hands up and hoped they dealt with it in private |

Onto our players, when Morrison upended their player when he lost the ball - was that almost deserving of red card? It was good tactical foul from our perspective but from a football perspective it’s cynical and not good for the game - thoughts?
Never a red for me as it wasn't a clear goal scoring opportunity but I had my head in my hands for 30seconds. I'm all for playing out from the back but Paal conceded possession doing the same thing about 5 minutes before which led to 3 corners and pressure we didn't need to be dealing with. As Kolli showed, if the defender wants to try drag-backs on that kind of surface, it'll probably end in tears. |

Look, I know nothing about football but even I could see whoever was in our left back position struggled. Paal, Saito, Fox, Morrison when he went over there for a bit - whoever it was thought they were prime Maldini but in reality looked like a toddler running with scissors. Why the banjo-twiddlers didn't clock this and move Sainz away from the imperious Jimmy Dunne, I can't fathom. Good for us though. |

My eldest boy (U15) was looking for a new club this season, trialed at a couple of teams in West London and eventually settled on a Japanese side because of the culture. While other sides would be saying "you're shìt" for misplacing a pass or "not bein' cookin", this team formed a circle at the end of his first training session to "welcome our new friend."
They've put on trips to go and support their countrymen at QPR v Coventry (obvs Saito, who was my MotM that game), Southampton v Spurs (Yuki Sugawara) and Luton Town v Cardiff (Daiki Hashioka). By all accounts all tickets donated by the players themselves, which is a nice touch. The club also organises a monthly litter-picking event around the park where they play their home fixtures.
They're a handy little team as well except for one massive weakness - they only have two players over 5'5" (my boy being one) so conceding a corner is pretty much equivalent to conceding a penalty. Then again, QPR were the same under Warburton with half a dozen 6-footers so maybe it's not just height. |

I see the logic behind getting someone bigger on to try and stop Baah as the lad's a monster - he went through Saito like Jonah Lomu went through Tony Underwood in 95. The only saving grace for us was his final ball repetoire seems to consist entirely of smashing it into his teammates bolloçks/throat from 12 yards. Made Smyth look like Bardsley at points. |

Of course it's a historical misconception, everyone knows roman emperors used the universal and timeless "wànker" gesture while shouting "Is that it you fùcking melt?!? I'll run you and your soft Christian firm all over Carthage you mug!!" |
