    Don't like that - changing your mind. Make the decision and go for it. If the keeper pulls off the save, fair play to him. He was looking at the keeper, not the ball, when he struck it and with those stupid steps it makes it so much easier to mishit it anyway, let alone changing your mind half...

    That stuttering run up he and Pogba does disrupts your rhythm and makes it harder to strike the ball, which given he missed the target shows. You can't get as much power on it and so if a keeper can hold his nerve and not go early it actually gives more time to save it. It's like a panenca - it...

    Very disappointing. Great start and the wing back formation was causing them all sorts of problems. Then after about half hour they started to get into it and we never reacted and lost control of the game. Their goal had been coming for a long while yet we hadn't tried to stop or change it...

    Starmer's problem is he's appearing weak and indecisive and I reckon a lot of that is down to advisors. Milliband was the same. Starmer wouldn't have been a QC if he acted in court the way he's acting in politics. He *should* make a good PM - attention to detail over numerous different areas and...

    We can thank the government for the vaccine rollout (esp not giving the rollout to one of their mates at a huge extra cost) but can we also say we may have been returned to normal already if they hadn't made such an utter shitshow or pretty much everything else requiring us to keep on putting...

    To be fair, Australia is pretty remote for people to get to even for it's neighbours and even them quite low population for area size and density is much lower and so only have the major cities to really worry about. I do think they've handled it much, much better - they've been quite...

    There's quite a few cities that consider themselves 'Phoenix' cities, having recovered from a stagnation/decline and some that were bombed during the war. I do think we're a good contender to be the 'official' Phoenix city given the level of destruction and number of times we've bounced back...

    Not sure why it would be political suicide if their polling says only 10% of public support it. Usually you can see him doing stuff that is popular. Of course he'd piss off the nutjobs in and around the party and there's clearly a few around the place after his job (and with Cummings out for...

    Transfer Rumour Viktor Gyokeres - Confirmed 3 Year Deal

    Maybe but if we've got Walker, Gyo, Godden and Waghorn at the moment I'd be very surprised if he only intended to play one of them regularly. At the moment Bright isn't confirmed yet and if he did you' think him and O'Hare would be a good option with Bright a maverick and O'Hare working like a...

    Transfer Rumour Viktor Gyokeres - Confirmed 3 Year Deal

    I said he was an AM. Maybe it wasn't clear but I was saying O'Hare + two strikers (ie. Godden + Walker, Biamou and Walker, Gyo and Walker etc)

    Sorry to hear that but I wasn't saying it about you specifically. It was a general statement than on the whole is true. There are some individuals who will of course be different. Take Boris - he nearly died and still doesn't take the situation that seriously.

    Transfer Rumour Viktor Gyokeres - Confirmed 3 Year Deal

    Later on in the season I'm sure he played two up top with O'Hare as AM.

    You do realise that people are individuals and so will react differently regardless of how similar they may seem to be. Also if someone who has had someone they know suffer badly or die from Covid is going to be more wary than someone who hasn't. Same as someone who has a history of cancer etc...

    Exactly. You're saying individuals can make decisions to avoid others when many clearly can't, and with everything opening up and other businesses wanting workers back in that choice is going to disappear for many others. So apparently the advice is make your own mind up if you want to go out...

    So what is your argument? You started off saying individuals can take precautions by staying home etc and are now going completely against that by saying loads of people had to work through the pandemic. What if you want to take precautions but your job doesn't let you?

    Yeah. Assume Leamington are playing a strongish side but they are playing kids essentially. Expect they'll be much stronger physically.
