Reply | EDB Signs new contract
at 22:11 10 Jun 2024
This could go one of two ways
But like others have seen several green shoots by EDB however he has no real regular run in the team.
He has talent, skill and desire. The promise is there, however as yet he has not quite done enough.
Enjoyed watching his cameos and let's hope a team made by Marti suits him.
One thing I do know, already he is going to be better than Dozell and hopefully more reliable than Amos and more talent than George Thomas.
However he is nearly 24 already with few appearances but absolutely agree with others - am pleased to see this happen. |

Makes you sound like a bell end but an actual specific bell end who goes by the nickname JT.
Have you got lost JT and haven't you got anything better to do John ??? |

Gavin Peacock has chosen the only real follow on option for his second career after being a professional footballer, today he has morphed into a man of the cloth, preaching the love of God....
If he has some influence in these fields please could he say a heartfelt prayer to improve the fortunes of his ex employers from Shepherds Bush !!! |

I am 56 years young
I hope to be attending at least for another 15 to 20 years and at a stretch hope to be alive for another 30 years
Can see us still being at Loftus Road.
If we move, it will be in a different location, maybe 10 to 15 miles from where we are. A new stadium has no hope of being local. |

I replied to this being pointed out earlier if you read the thread through
I misread the thread title and saw it as just great signings.
I replaced Darren Peacock with Ray Wilkins as well.
But thanks for pointing out my dumb assed ness again. Glad I am keeping you on your toes !!! 🤣 |

Reply | Single file Queuing.. in pubs!
at 18:13 8 Jun 2024
Very strange when men used stand at the bar drinking and chatting with bar staff and the bar staff had to make a guess at which thirsty soul was next in the queue.
Did a few shifts back in the 90s in a local pub and got chastised by a poor thirsty individual who I seemed to always think was not last in the line.
Anyhow there is a way these days of not queueing at all.
The days of covid meant we had to order via an app and this is still possible today in most hosteleries !!!
We are British. We all get off on being in a good queue. Gives us something to talk about as opposed to chatting about football or the weather !!!! |

Sunak is a walking liability and it seems every day has been met with some extremely amateurish decision or action
Farage will reduce votes for tories even more
In a contest in many other eras, Starmer's Labour is easily beaten but this one can't see anything other than a landslide for labour.
Only interest I have is the percentages that will actually vote at all
I think generally in local elections it's around 30% and general elections, it's around 70%
A 50% turnout would certainly be a sad indictment on the general publics total lack of faith in any politicians of the moment in todays world !! |

Clearly the problem is clear
Our all time top scorer and bundesliga golden boot has never ever won a trophy in his life
Clearly the problem as always is Kane - Harry Kane
QPR could sign Harry Kane and we would be certainties to get relegated.
The man has some kind of voodoo curse on him and he will never ever win any trophy even I fear the EFL FA Vase is a step too far !!!!
Get rid of the charismatic chump - its the only way !!!!!!!!!! |

That was England of old
Uninspiring is the kindest word
Ducking Shyte is the second and third kindest words !!
Utter dross. Our defence was very average but more worrying was some of our stars like Kane and Foden looking like they would fail to trouble a Gareth Ainsworth dysfunctional family team
I rather stupidly backed us for the Euros at 4 to 1.
250 to 1 more likely !!!
England never fail to disappoint!! |

Reply | Eze for England!

Quite bold decisions by Southgate and a lot of the reasons many have against him, they don't stand in relation to the squad he has picked.
Massive surprise to not see Grealish picked. I thought his cameo sub appearance gave him all the reasons why Grealish can be effective and almost, I felt, played himself into the managers mind as one of the first off the bench when you need a game changer
Although love Eze, he has not shown that as yet in his very limited international time so far.
I thought Gordon or perhaps Wharton might not make it but both have and Eze and Bowen and Palmer too, as well as Mainoo.
I hope Eze gets game time and would love it if he could be influential but for some reason, I doubt he will get on the pitch much and also for some weird reason, I am doubting he will change things. Not reasoned opinion just a daft instinct.
But yes obviously pleased he is in. Hope he gets a reasonable period of time and can show what he can do. |

Not usually an outlet that does clickbait is WestLondonSport, so am less likely to doubt this.
If he is only intended as a back up goalkeeper here, then he could get back up keeper positions at a few premier league or high level clubs in other countries, where he would be paid a heck of a lot more than here.
The only reason he could sign here, would be as a number one, but also would be very surprised myself if that transpired and likewise disappointed. |

Agree but Toney requires minutes too, to see he is ready and good enough.
He could have brought on Toney as well but he didn't.

Yes why was Toney not coming on for Watkins
Kane coming on in this warm up bit ridiculous. Appreciate he needs some minutes but Toney needs a run out otherwise why is there ?
Southgate needs a look at Toney. Is he injured ?? |
