    World Athletics and 2022 world cup

    I think the fact is was Women's is probably a big factor. Hugely conservative nation for who many probably don't think women should even be competing due to religious beliefs, let alone having them walk around in all that sportswear. WC I think will be a bit better attended but many games will...

    We are two wide from winning this league

    Yep. We largely seem to think we've got issue with our wide front players but haven't got many other options to replace them. Midfield we've got plenty of options with more set to return so you can look at moving people around. Of those midfielders O'Hare would seem to have the most transferable...

    Who's Kelly May? Didn't realise it'd become a mixed-gender league. Sounds like she might be a 'keeper cos she looked good around poles.

    Alexander wanted May's deal to go through so much he voted against it and resigned from the Cabinet. Personally I think this was again him trying to destabilise a leader to force a leadership contest (same reason why he chose Leave - nothing to do with his actual beliefs on the subject) I...

    Match Thread Rotherham United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 5th Oct

    I'm assuming none of those injured will be fit to return. I'd bring in Kasta for Jobello for this, but I'd also be keeping a close eye on how Hiwula gets on and if he's not on his game I'd consider bringing Werstbrooke on and moving O'Hare into his position. I'm also toying with the idea of...

    Lost 7-0 at home to Palace yesterday with a reasonably strong team including Ngandu and Bapaga.

    Do you think you'll ever write a reply that doesn't deflect or obfuscate ?

    So Godden has 3 and Hiwula 2. Both of those have spent more time on the pitch in league games than Baka has. So what?

    I'm not saying there won't be a backlash, I'm saying any backlash will not have as far reaching effects. There is a reasonably high probability that people will die due to problems as a direct result of Brexit. I would expect some rioting and damage to property/looting but I don't expect any...

    To those not going

    So what's wrong with that? I thought Kristy Wright and Melissa George were attractive.

    I think we will see the WA being put back before the house prior to 31 Oct (barring VNC etc) and it will be interesting to see how all parties would react to that if the only other alternative is no deal. Some will reject it because they want no deal. I think the threat of the no deal has been...

    Players can have moments where they exceed their normal level - I reckon a lot of people on here can recall some absolute worldy they scored in Sunday League even though 90% of the time can barely kick a ball in a straight line. I think/hope that when he's on the pitch the vast majority will be...

    When we signed Godden and P'boro said it was because the felt they had better strikers in Toney and Eisa we thought they must be bloody good. Seems like the actually are. Godden's decent and with a bit more support should get a decent amount of goals this season, but I don't think he frightens...

    Of course the goals per minute stat shouldn't be taken in isolation but it is worthy of consideration in the whole analysis. If a player only plays a very small amount of games before moving on then that needs to be caveated (ie Harford) or if a player is brought on specifically at the end of...

    I have to disagree. The potential ramifications for leaving are absolutely massive. Just in the few months during transition deaths could be up thousands due to drugs not being able to be delivered on time. Then there are the economic ramifications due to trade, such as tariffs and the probable...

    So Kastaneer has played as a centre forward. Willis and Osbourne played at right back, Morrell played at right wing. Dublin played as centre back. Fact is his favoured position is a wider role. Similar with Bakayoko - his favoured position is central although he has played in a wider role at...

    O'Hare going all the way

    I think while Villa have Grealish they're happy to have O'Hare getting game time elsewhere.

    For some striker is synonomous with centre forward (for me the distinction is in the style of play - I think of a striker as being quick and playing off the shoulder of the last defender while a centre forward competes in the box) I see the likes of Jones, Kastaneer etc as wide players rather...

    We are two wide from winning this league

    We definitely need more from the forward three, and the two outer forwards especially. Godden is finding it difficult because he's a bit isolated one way or another (although someone did say yesterday they noticed he doesn't ever go front post - don't know if that's accurate) But I wouldn't say...

    He does say most prolific STRIKER.... And you keep on saying 'he wasn't'. Why not just put up the stats of minutes per goal for everyone, prove him wrong and make him look silly.
