This is the oddity.
Likewise, I’ve been impressed with Nardi and Morrison from day one.
Saito has the ability and adapted to this league in recent months, Varane has come on a bundle since his early displays.
Dembele either hasn’t adapted or is just bamboozled by the roles we’ve played him in, that said he has skill and hopefully will improve. Ashby hasn’t been great but shows some improvement recently.
Of the others we’ve seen, Celar & Santos have been a disaster and Madsen doesn’t look like getting up to speed.
Still, 4 good, 2 who could go either way and 3 who aren’t going to make it, is not that bad a ratio.
It’s been unfortunate that all of these nine players have been forced to make the jump into first team action far sooner than we’d ordinarily have wanted. |

Saito;
To be in accord, to be together. Purification.
That boy lives up to his name. |

This is what happens when you have too many layers of management.
That said, having a defined method of playing is what many on this board were crying out for so it’s a bit rich to complain about it when it doesn’t work.
In the end it all comes down to who chose Celar or more to the point, during the summer, just the one CF when we got rid of two forwards from a side that we know has lacked forwards for some years previous.
Cant help feeling if we had Cannon up front we’d be where Stoke are and they’d be in our place. |

Prefer it if he played ‘Im a w*nker’ every time one of ours lines up a shot and sends into row Z. |

Was funny that Madsen hit the first man with his corner to much groaning, the ball came straight back to him and somehow he managed to do exactly the same with his follow up cross. Immediately got dragged off and was still walking round the pitch as Saito put in a corner exactly as it should be, and we scored.
As you say, looked down the line as we celebrated and Madsen standing there was a picture to behold. |

What with the penalty, our best hope of staying up is having Gavin Ward here as often as possible. |

‘It’s up to the players who takes the penalty’.
Really? No wonder we’re in a fckin mess. |

Have this recurring nightmare that he’s been promoted to Thought Crime czar for two tier Kier.
Are we allowed to say two tier Kier?! (Or thought crime, for that matter).
It would explain why he’s gone deep, deep under cover. |

In answer to the initial question, usually when they’re 2-0 down.
Nice idea though, hope your dad’s op goes well. |

I’ve often wondered if I brought damnation on this club with my slagging off of Seb Poltergeist. |

When we’ve needed a helping hand in the past Stoke have been rather kind to us. That’s about the only hope I have of us getting 3 points.
Hard to see any combination of presently fit players winning at this level. |

Remember that game well.
Our headmaster at morning assembly warned anyone who wasn’t on the afternoon register would be expelled, suspended minimum yet what seemed like half the school decamped at lunch time heading over the bridge on Du Cane Road and down to the ground.
Watched the game from the top floor of the flats behind the school end with predominantly Chelsea supporting school friends. Think that might have been the first time we beat Chelsea in our history.
Bloemfontein Road after wasn’t such a pleasant experience with scores of Doc Martin clad Chelsea skinheads coming in the opposite direction. |

He likes to have the ball at his feet, get heavily involved in all our passing movements.
I’d stick him in goal. |

Being centre right, I don’t do cancelling. Glad you brought this sport up and your level headed approach to it.
However, unlike boxing, I do have a problem with UFC. Increasingly, the proliferation of street violence being seen on social media seems to be influenced by the fighting in the UFC ring and human beings are brutally assaulted and injured. Body slamming and the beating on the floor to a defenceless victim is not something easily withstood by people outside that arena.
You’d be entitled to say boxing has a similar influence and it does, but the Queensbury rules aspect of that, by and large, means that once a person has been incapacitated they are not then beaten to a pulp. Yes it does happen, sadly there are some psychos out there, but to me UFC encourages the kind of onslaught outside the ring that boxing does not.
As a country we are far too lenient on street violence. I love boxing but Courts need to correlate not just the act of violence but how it’s related to media influence. |
