1) Koki's 1st touch for his goal. Oooh, World class! 49 times out of 50, even at the top level of football, the player would just smash it and more than likely hit one of the 3 defenders or keeper stood in front of him. Not our Koki. That simple, perfectly executed, cool as absolute f**k, precisely controlled half a yard touch sidewards took out all 4 of the oppo and left him an empty net to thunder it into. Beautiful. Honourable mentions also for his gravity defying leap and stay in mid air to win the header and Yang's 1st touch in the lead up to Chair's 2nd.
2) The press in the 4141 formation, particularly 2nd half. Terrorised Derby as they tried to play out from the back. Field moved up to flank Frey with Chair and they pressed brilliantly as a unit whilst Varane owned the space behind them. Glorious front foot defending. Our number 1 strength right now.
3) Varane's little flashes with the ball. He actually has the ball control and physicality to be able beat the 1st man or 2 and move away up the pitch just with his big stride, without needing any particular tricks or moves. Showed that more than once yesterday. Pinged a couple of nice longer passes too.
I'm hoping that we are seeing the gradual chipping away of his fear based hiding, backwards, sidewards stuff as he clearly as some ability on the ball. Feels like a confidence/mentality thing but there is a lot more potential growth there. Already nailing the defensive side of the game for me.
4) Chair 'arriving' in the box. That lung bursting, get in there ahead of your marker and expect the ball type. Seems to rarely do it much when playing out wide. Delightful to see him do it yesterday for his 2nd. More please.
5) Morrison getting back on the pitch. He's ours, he's 21, he never loses, he has huge potential and he's 1 of only 2 defenders definitely here next year. He needs to be playing.
In the encouraging spirit of the Paul Nuttall thread that ended with barely an insult in sight it's time for us to take things a step further in our coming together and mutual understanding.
What better way to cure humanity's ills than for the likes of Disco, Hunter, Clive Anderson, Bazza, SteveC, DannytheR, Konk, Essextaxiboy, FDC, me and any others who fancy it to gather in a field, consume an 'heroic' dose of God's own 'come and find me' and release ourselves from the grip of our falsely created, illusionary, temporary ego's that have merely stood in the way of our experiencing the same single consciousness of pure love and oneness that is all of our past, present and future, leading us to laugh uncontrollably at the false sense of separation, fear, distrust and anger that has led us to create the narrative of disharmony amongst oursleves and indeed in our own individual souls, dissolving all the unnecessary barriers that we have built between us, paving the way for the obvious only choice of existing in the moment of utter connection to everything at all times bathed in the sweet balm of eternal permanent, omnipotent, unconditional love where the simplistic but often devastating machinations of struggling man (collective and individual) simply dissolve away into the quantum reality pile marked 'no longer needed'.
I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane and look up the last club I played for in the early noughties, Kew AFC.
It was a lovely club, 100 years old, very proud of having beaten Ipswich in the 30's, matches on Saturday afternoon anywhere inside the M25, manager always shoehorning in the fact that our results were on teletext (page 48 of 48, had to wait 27 minutes to see it flash up for a few seconds) in his half time bollocking.
Most importantly it had 9 XI's, so it catered for a decent range of ability, all the captains would meet each week to do selection, players moving up and down between teams, all very proper and must have had a good 150 players on the books. It was big on social stuff and they had a new clubhouse built with Rangers being part of it.
So when I went on the website I saw they now have just TWO teams, two. I'm really shocked.
Is this just an anomaly at this particular club or has the number of people playing the game diminished that much?
I can't imagine there is a single one of us who doesn't have a heart warming story about what the NHS has done for them or a loved one.
The idea that private healthcare companies can be making a profit from our looking after the sick and vulnerable can't be right.
"Contracting leeches money and scarce resources from the system. It fragments and disrupts continuity of care and undermines training and staffing. And it is expensive. Although the Westminster government does not collect data on the contracts or the cost of market contracting, we know from the US that it accounts for around 30% of healthcare expenditure, compared to 5% in the non-marketised NHS prior to 1990."
That means the cost of contracting alone would see us losing over £25 billion a year that would otherwise have been spent on actual care.
I would suggest taking advantage of the political atmosphere that is creating MP's that need to be listening to their constituents (or at least being seen to) and get in touch with yours to ask they attend the reading of the bill and support it.
Well it looked like Obama flying all the way over to tell us to stay in (so his corporate chums can inflict TTIP on us ending our democracy) would be this week's winner. But Alistair Campbell's 'Putin and ISIS' (cracking combo) has smashed him out of the park. Putin and ISIS...brilliant.
Honourable mentions go to the 8 former US Treasury secretaries who wrote to The Times warning that Brexit was a threat to our 'special relationship'.
If they're at this level now they must have some serious sh1t planned for the next few weeks.
Wiki definition - 'Fear mongering or scaremongering is the deliberate use of fear based tactics including exaggeration and usually repetition to influence the public in order to achieve a desired outcome.'
I see David Miliband, a man, we shouldn't forget, who carries the almost unthinkable label of being deemed less effective than his brother, has been shoved out by the Secret Handshakers to terrify us all.
In a breathtaking display, even by politicians standards, of Bullshitchutzpah he has claimed that an out vote would not only contribute to the 'destruction of International order' but is 'THE NUMBER ONE THREAT TO THE GLOBAL (yes GLOBAL) ECONOMY.' !!!!!
F-ing hell!! They don't do the scaremongering by half these fellas, you know The Powers That Be are afraid of the public actually choosing something not in their plan when they start throwing around such blatantly over the top threats.
This is on the ITV News website -
"The historic failure of the IMF is that it has normally been too optimistic. When it gets gloomy, perhaps we should be afraid, very afraid. "
That's an editorial piece of writing by the way not a quote from a Stay In campaigner. All that's missing is a ghost going 'woooooo' at the end of the sentence.
Pathetic, but sadly, as they well know which is why they do it, very effective.
As for the IMF's hilarious warning, have a listen to the Icelandic President at the time of their 'exit' and the warnings he received from them. This is comfortably the best interview with a politician I have ever listened to. Very relevant to our current times. Well worth a listen.
Just watched the full 90 without knowing the score.
Very excited with the young spine of the team
Smithies Hall Luongo Poults Washington
All of them did well yesterday.
All young, all in the first year of their contracts, all keen as f*ck, probably earning less between them than Cesar was the last time we were in this league whilst sitting in the stands trying to remember which hand he'd 'injured'. And some people still say they can't see what Les has started to do...there's none so blind as...
Jimmy's interview indicated that Faurlin and Luongo are now the first choice and that they need time to develop as a unit. Bonus.
Having two cm's who are comfortable on the ball and don't just automatically play it backwards to a defender (even one under pressure) makes such a difference, I don't know how you can hope to control a match without it in fact.
You could see Mass was knackered after 60 odd mins but that's no surprise, how many 90 minutes has he had in the last 5 months? Can only get better as he gets fitter.
Fer!!? Unfortunately can't see anyone taking him off our hands on the wages I presume he's on.
Marina Hyde may not be everyone's cup of tea, but anyone who writes an article with the phrases "The really remarkable thing about Mourinho’s demise is the smallness of the man it has revealed", and "...or is he really just an irredeemable prick?", deserves some f**king respect.
