Those are selected facts - what are the FULL facts?
Maybe she has not paid any rent for years? Maybe she has massive rent arrears? Maybe she has been offered dozens of alternative places to live? Maybe there has been a long and drawn out legal battle that she's lost at every stage and has ignored every verdict handed out?
Frankly I haven't got a clue what's gone on but I don't trust the news media to give me a full impartial report and I'm not going to fill in the gaps to suit my own world view either.
I'm itching for a Championship club to qualify for Europe. Only possible via winning FA Cup or League Cup of course. I don't think it would be possible to actually fit the extended Euro schedule into the 46-game domestic program so I'm curious to see how it'd play out.
There was a quiet snide little change to rules at some point in recent years which meant that beaten finalists no longer qualify for Europe if the cup winner separately qualifies for Europe via their league position. In those circumstances , the Euro place goes to the Prem team finishing 8th or thereabouts depending on our coefficient.
We have bought a lot of players with obvious pre-existing fitness and injury issues. You reap what you sow.
I'd love to know if we even bother insuring half of them. I'd guess they are either uninsureable or the cover would be so expensive we give it a miss and just take our chances.
The idiot commentators on Sky last night did mention the new 5-second rules have really sped the game up and the ball was live and in play 20% more this season. They then suggested this would cause more fatigue, injury and breakdown. You'd think we couldn't be any worse than last year but who knows, maybe we can?
True that. Another nail in the coffin is kids in them. To me, most pubs have become a sort of McDonalds that do a side-line in ale. I spent a few minutes waiting to get served in a pretty empty pub last week whilst the barlady was making 4 lattes for a table.
The initial allocation is probably a 1000 more than we need so unlikely.
It feels unusual to be going there at 3pm on a Saturday - we seem to have had a lot of 12:30s and evening KOs there recently but it's hard to keep track after 12 bleeding seasons, everything gets blurred!
Maybe the 3pm KO will result in a few hundred more turning out but I assume that the weird force-field situated roughly at 53 degrees N that seems to affect a lot of our fans will come into play.
I don't come on here much due to clutter and verbosity. I missed a match thread once cos it was headed by what seemed to be a clue to The Times crossword rather than something succinct like QPR v Watford, Match Thread. I'm not sure splitting the forum into QPR and NonQPR bits would work? Might sort out the clutter a tiny bit but the forum vernacular would still be there to undermine everything. May as well just leave it as is.
Charles is a kid who looked dodgy to me when he visited LR and a Scottish keeper (I could just stop there really) who appears to already be a journeyman despite his relatively young age for a keeper.
I'm not really minded to regard the goal keeping position as being nicely boxed off quite just yet - I want to see them in action first. It's just a few weeks to playing Wall, so should quickly find out who the 1st choice is and if they are made of the right stuff.
Not sure Barton's antics come anywhere near a grown man collapsing and holding his face in agony after an opponent's hand brushes his midriff? I find all "simulation" embarrassingly pathetic, I even find the act of "inviting contact" to buy a free-kick distasteful but accept some level of gamesmanship will be inevitable. BUT, feigning an injury to an untouched bodily part is beyond pathetic. My stance is hardened by the modern rule of stopping the game for any head injury but instead of players respecting the gravity of the situation they've grasped the opportunity to go down holding their heads even more so now.
What are you talking about? Stan loved his gambling, NEVER expressed any regrets or remorse about his life-long hobby and certainly wouldn't want YOU tossing his name into this thread overrun with pearl-clutching posts about a firm that lawfully and legally trades in the UK sponsoring our shirt.
I'm pretty sure I'm correct in saying that at least 50% of our recruits over past 2 to 3 years had known injury issues or had recently experienced a significant injury absence in the season prior to joining us. Morrison, Poku and Dembeke definitely did and we actually signed Vale whilst he was crocked. Surely, this is something we need to carefully consider going forwards?
Is there much Southgate in it? I feel I'd like to watch it for an insight into players but I get problems with my mood and blood pressure if I see/hear Sir Gareth at all.
Club played a blinder when they shunted Armstrong and Kelman on, didn't do too badly with Dykes either. Recycling the fees for that lot into acquiring Kone and Burrell was a fine piece of wheeling and dealing.
Those Arsenal fans converged on London from all over London, the UK, the world. I'm sure if we won the Premier League, tens of thousands of ex-pat Rs fans would decide to pay homage by spending a day or the weekend on a trip to The Bush and lots of locals with varying levels of affiliation to the club would hang out their windows. Obviously Arsenal are a massive club with loads of armchair followers and we wouldn't muster a million "fans" for anything. But, in the exact same circumstances I'd guess 50 to 100,00ish would pop out to wave at the bus (and get very very drunk).
Absolute codswallop. Any sensible unbiased scientific/medical examination of the facts would conclude that the very minor diuretic effects of beer are massively outweighed by its rehydration benefits. I would further suggest that the pleasure rush of endorphins derived from a long cold pint of beer are a cure for feeling hot, sticky, uncomfortable and irritable. Drink responsibly. Cover your bonce.
There's a disconnect between the season's efforts and that analysis... only one of them is thorough, well planned and thought out, consistent and maintains pace and engagement til the end...
