"I don't mean to be rude" = "I'm going to be rude" "With respect" = "I have no respect for you" "I'm not trying to be funny, but" = see "I' don't mean to be rude" "I hear what you say" = "You said a thing, I'm going to ignore it, don't bother saying it again."
Sorry Gus, down-arrowed by mistake due to fat fingers, so now gone all Jekyll-and-Hyde and have arrowed it both ways.
Anyway, Im not a mind-reader, but the impression I got was that under Ainsworth especially he felt that he was the only one who could do almost anything going forward and that contributed. a lot to him holding the ball and maybe making some poor choices of final ball.
I think that got a bit better when Marti changed the style and brought Andersen into the side - I think it would improve further if he thought we had a striker who could move for and put away crosses or through balls into the area.
No wonder none of us can sleep for most of the season, lying in bed with someone pissing in it on one side and someone else on the other singing "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands" all the time.
All joking (and general puzzlement) aside, I would think the Brentford background is quite encouraging for where we want to go as a club - even allowing for the fact that Brentford have prospered after sacking off their Academy.
Many, many years ago at work we were doing a project and I was put in charge of methodology for it (not that I asked to be), at which point I realised that I had no idea what it meant.
I did find out, but I've now forgotten. It's a great joy not to need to know that sort of thing.
Last few years, even when the "1st XI" has been decent (eg Warburton good times) the depth of the squad hasn't been there. I'm afraid Kelman's fairly long stint around the fringes is a case in point.
It's a big if, but if we have a few players (Kolli, EDB, Larkeche, Bennie) who can come off the bench, do OK in cup games, or fill in while others are rested it would make a big difference to the season IMO, without them needing to be 1st choice players.
The point to note here is that Celar is, on paper, a better prospect than anyone we've been in the market for for ages.
It's perfectly understandable to have been sceptical that he'd sign for us; the fact that he has, is encouraging for the club's powers of persuasion.
The only reasons to be cautious are that Washington and Dykes were both fairly regular goal scorers at international level which didn't/have't trusted to goals at Championship level. Let's hope he's not another out of the same box.
Good post; and the Kakay example is a good one - Ossie was no-one's idea of a "bad egg" but he wasn't going to be in the side so best moved on sharpish.
Going a bit far there, Danny, and infringing civil rights IMO.
I would prefer to simply make it illegal to sell Chelsea tickets, season tickets, streaming subscriptions and merchandise to the under 18s and then raise the age limit every year until eventually this dangerous addiction that tragically destroys so many families is eliminated from our society.
Using my vast expertise and knowledge of European football (i.e. I looked him up on wikipedia) It Says Here that he scored 40 goals in 95 appearances since 2021 and his club play in the top tier in Switzerland.
Which sounds err, quite good, I think? Or am I missing something (e.g. that he would never sign for us in a million years?)
Also appears to have a Swiss Cup winner's medal. We'll soon knock any of that nonsense out of him if he turns up at Loftus Road.
This, incidentally, is from a fact-checking site, in answer to a statement by our former esteemed PM that "too many women have ended up in prison for non-payment" of the V Licence:
"There are a number of problems with this claim. You cannot be sent to prison for failing to pay a TV licence fee, only for failing to pay a court-imposed fine in connection with a conviction for not paying the fee. Being imprisoned for this offence is rare—the latest available figures for England and Wales show no one was jailed in 2020 or 2021, and no more than two people were in 2019."
So two people - count 'em folks, you'll need at least one hand - in three years.
Of course it's not a long-term solution and no-one thinks it is.
The whole point is that the last government was so monumentally incompetent that long-term, medium term or even short-term solutions won't do, what is needed is emergency action to allow the Police to be able to a arrest anyone at all in about two months time.
Of course the TV licence should be decriminalised, but the offence does not carry. prison sentence, merely a fine and the only people jailed are those who don't (or can't) pay the fine - a tiny number which would make no significant difference at all (especially as a lot of them are women, and there actually isn't a crisis in women's jails yet.)
The situation is a f*cking disgrace and anyone who is pointing fingers at the incoming government rather than the ones who have been in charge for 14 years wants to have a word with themselves. Conservative head of the Police and Crime Commissioner's body was on the radio today saying the govt was doing about the only thing possible and sounding mighty relieved to have someone in charge who was actually listening to what the PCCs were saying.
At least the previous Minister of Justice lost his seat in the election and bloody right too.
