  1. The weak wrists are as basic a flaw as a boxer being born with a glass chin.
  2. A thank you and all the very best for the future.
  3. Tbh, I don't think any player has had what I'd class as a great season, so I can't single out one player. However. I think the following were the best/ most important players. Consistency - Kova and Azpi. Importance - Tammy's goals in the first half of the season for getting us up there. Giroud's goals for getting us over the line when Tammy went off the boil. Mount, being young and doing well after stepping up a division. Pulisic for magic moments and easing the pain of losing Hazard. Razzie award can only go to one person and no need to say who that is.
  4. Those fleeting moments where Oliver says nothing and just looks straight at the camera.
  5. The main objective was achived today so a win next week would be an added bonus. All the pressure is off our lads now, so the question is, can they get themselves as fired up as an Arsenal team needing to win to qualify for Europe?
  6. I love Baseballl (Tigers fan) and must get round to watching the 8 Men Out movie.
  7. Yeah, pretty certain we wont see him again for us. Best for him and the club to part ways now. We might struggle to buy a world class keeper, but a good, solid one who isn't a liability would be a significant step forward.
  8. The club gets a lot of stick when things aren't going great and not competiting for the title, but even when we're not all that great we still finish top four, win cups or get to a final. That proves there's a real resiliance and hard nosed will to win at our club.
  9. When he gets going he's like a football version of Jonah Lomu.
  10. Well, that was certainly a lot more comfortable than expected! A solid, professional team performance with no playerr having a poor game.
  11. You here about the top batsmen in Cricket and the greats in Tennis seeing the ball early. Kepa appears to see it late.
  12. There was a time when Chelsea did have a significant number of very racist fans. I remember being at an away match at West Brom where almost the entire section of Chelsea fans (a good few thousand) were standing up giving Nazi salutes and chanting "there's only one Princess Michael" who's family had just been revealed to having links to the Nazis. There are no comparisons between the levels of racism between those days and today!
  13. I'm one of those who doesn't actually enjoy watching these kind of one off games where so much is at stake. I mean for me, watching thst CL final against Bayen was 2 hours of pure torture right up until Drogba put the penalty away.
  14. Could well be that. Some sportsmen/women just lose their ambition and drive once they've achieved something special. In this day and age they only have to slack off a bit to fall very quickly. Even the amazing Ronaldinhio's career fell away quickly once he lost that bit of drive.
  15. I can see both sides to this too. But we start from the posistion of not having to score, so playing it a bit safe is maybe the best option. But then we have to take into account our keeper and defence and trying to play safe with that sorry lot is asking for trouble. There's also the game at Leicester, which will surely have some influence on how we play as the games progress.
  16. I think it would be unwise to start with a still very unproven 19 year old and imho that would be an awful lot of pressure on his young shoulders. Willian was poor the other night but his experience and workrate is needed on Sunday. See how the game develops and if we need to score a goal or two then bring on CHO.
  17. Comedy genius! Hard to pick a number one fav but the one in the sawmill is up there for me. The clip about the rent "is that the money that I gave to you to give to him" On the boat. The Piano. Just so many classic moments I never rated Abbott and Costello who were also huge ply popular in their day. Just saw them as a poor mans Laurel and Hardy. However, I was shown a scetch of theirs called Who's On First and it changed my opinion of them. Of course, of its time but silly and funny. 50 cents and 2 tens for a 5 are also a good chuckle. Not up there with Laurel and Hardy, but I can now at least appreciate why they were so popular.
  18. Drinkwater was a perfectly decent Premiership level player, but then he joined us and sat back and watched his career go down the tiolet. I'd love to know how and why it all fell away so quickly for him.
  19. Wolves break with real pace which is something Jorginhio struggles to cope with. We've seen us struggle to break teams down who sit back and put a lot of men behind the ball, so i'm glad that Wolves need the points and can't just sit back and grind out a result.
  20. Forget about Kepa and the horror defence. For me the positive to take from the game was the lads went away to the Champions and played to win and showed no fear. That is what Liverpool and City do home and away and that's the approach Frank and the lads need to continue with next season. Gone are the days when you can be the best with Jose style of knicking games with pragmatic football.
  21. Yes, the way forward is to bring back a 'footballer' who's second touch was usually a header.
  22. For sure, Frank has made some mistakes this season, but we should take into account the following - He's a young manager who' still very much on the learning curve. No new players signed for this season. Our youth players finally been given a decent amount of playing time. In the FA Cup Final and in with a chance of a CL place going into the final day of the season. You must be extremely hard to please to not think that's a pretty decent first season.
  23. The thing is they've usually tried to place nice football but there's always been something about them which has made many non-Leeds fans strongly dislike them. I generally dont like Liverpool but i liked them during the Barnes, Beardsley era. Same with Arsenal during the early years of Wenger, but never at any time liked Leeds!
  24. It's gonna be a nerve wracking final day! In the good old days when we had a proper keeper and defence, I would bet everything we would see this game out without too much trouble. With this motley crew i''ll still be sh*tting myself if we're 2 up with 10 mins left.
  25. Just look at the strength in his hands and wrists for starters. He looks about as strong as a 12 year old.
