  1. You just don't take someone like Kane off, our only proper world class player. That's Vardy's biggest problem.
  2. He was no worse than Lingard or Dele. Just needed more time.

    Before I'd come travelling I'd only ever been as far north as Birmingham in England. I could give you a list of countries with various people that I've met, and each list would probably at least be double the amount of northerners I'd ever met

    That's because no one likes a northern accent In fairness it's a different world down south, mostly around London tbh. Where abouts are you?
  5. Feel like we should have brought Vardy on a lot sooner and a more often than we did at the World Cup, which suggests to me Southgate won't use him that much going forward.

    You'd need something specific to focus it on, if it's just done in general then there are probably a lot of blogs about like that. Maybe focus on something statistics based if not already something done, maybe an indepth look at your style of play and tactics that maybe gets a generalised view in other blogs. Maybe try a comedic angry man rambling on a backbone of common sense/logical thinking.

    Work/Jobs Thread

    In fairness mate I have a habit of taking things at face value instead of reading between the lines Thats it, I'd rather not come home from work to complain about work but once I start doing that it generally means I need a new job. I imagine your outlook becomes a lot more serious once you get kids involved, overtimes almost worth it when it pays for your kids holidays, clothes etc

    Work/Jobs Thread

    You make some valid points regarding promotions and if I were after progress in a company then overtime would be one way to do that. But I'm a backpacker with no family responsibilities out to enjoy myself on the otherside of the world, not progress within a company that even down to management level couldn't give a toss about me as long as their customers aren't moaning at them. I work the hours I'm contracted to and then I go home, if I'm forced to constantly do overtime in a job I don't really like where I'm not respected then I'm going to find something new. I know there are people out there who would scoff at me mentioning having to work what is essentially 3-4 hours overtime per week, people who work 60, 70, 80+ hours in a week and they may think I need to toughen up but I just think they're mugs with no lives. Because you can't have a life if work is it and if doing all of that means you get to have a mortgage or a fancy car then someone's mugging you off somewhere. I have no child, no wife, no house to have to pay for, so I also have no patience for shit jobs trying to mug me off with overtime regardless of how much or how little. I've worked night shifts cleaning shit from toilets straight through weekends, have worked on the bins (4:30am wake up, 6:00am start), have worked in warehouses, factories, call centres and building sites. Done all of those jobs that are best described as mundane but if I can come home from work and some ask how it was, and can just respond "it was work" rather than a load of bitching about a manager or some twat then right now I'll be very happy. But life is too short to handcuff yourself to a shit job on shit hours. And if you throw somewhere into that mix a family member committing suicide a few weeks prior to walking out of your job then that probably explains the irritability about it too.
  9. We've signed Josh Dasilva on a free transfer, any idea what he's like?

    Ah yeah Skyfall, Spectre was the inspector gadget style one wasn't it?
  11. Your stadium has a stand called the Kop? Your entire stadium is a Kop.

    Boxing

    Fury's dad had a pop at Wilder, it's more like a soap opera. But it sells.

    It's all a pantomime, want to see some real hatred out there. Mike Tyson style.

    Spectre was a masterpiece for me, but the last one was absolute gash. Prefer Mission Inpossible myself.

    Boxing

    Feel like this fight is far too soon for Fury, but he's been known to step up to the competition ahead of him so who knows. I'd have a fighting fit Fury beat Wilder, but now it'll probably be a lot closer. Either way this will set up a mega fight with AJ.

    James Bond has been portrayed by 7 different actors over the course of 50 years in a continuous time line and most recently in Spectre was alluded to that 007James Bond is a job role, not a specific person. The flip side to people wanting gender flipping and race switching are people desperate for straight white male actors to spearhead their favourite films. The 7 different actors all look completely different from each other, there is no conceivable way they can be considered the same person from James Bond's timeline to the physical appearances of the actors playing them. The defence that Bond can't be black doesn't stand up and in fact just points to the bias that white audiences generally just want white actors ringfenced for big roles. The irony in all of this is that once a black actor takes a role typically perceived to be white the world goes crazy, but when white actors consistently take historic roles of characters that their genetics don't match it doesn't even register.

    My dad used to teach my cousins to sing "you're going home in a London ambulance!", which led my cousin when he was a kid to start singing it to an old lady getting into the back of an ambulance in a tesco car park
  18. My CV wouldn't get me in the door, "how comes you have been hired by, left and then hired back by Arsenal about a million times?"...."oh it's because I'm shit."
  19. Yeah mate, only two games in the league and 4 points but last season we'd probably not have won 5-1 against Rotherham and probably would have lost out to Stoke rather than drew (though we should have won, all over them). We've got the strongest squad we've ever had and at this point we've still got Marcondes to come back as well. I think we'll surprise a lot of people this season. Not sure how consistent we'll be, but like I said before there will be times where we blow teams away with potentially the best football in the division, it's just a matter of how consistent we can be.
  20. It's very early in the season but we've signed a gem in Said Benrahma, unfortunately not a lot of highlights on him with us but having watched him against Rotherham and Southend he's going to be make a name for himself this season. His first goal of the season for us at 2:22, longer highlights not available but spent the entire game tormenting Southend's defence.
  21. Suits Like @Eco said above, only just started watching this. Obviously knew about it for years and was tempted to give it a go about 5 years ago but it seemed a bit twatish at the time. Got to say now I'm hooked to it, managed to watch about 7 series in the last few weeks. There was one series where I thought the pace of everything dropped a bit (might be series 4), but other than that it's been class. Luke Cage Didn't know this was being made in line with Daredevil, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones. Gave some spoilers away about Jessica Jones which has pissed me off as I was tempted to give that a go too. But series 1 has been class.
  22. I don't know, that picture does make it look dangerous in that it could break an ankle if he's standing flat footed so if that's the case then fair play it's a red. This isn't much of an issue, but for me the biggest problem I have with the sport is the way fouls are called these days. You get fouls for contact rather than obstruction. Your hand could brush someone's arm when running next to them and they will dive and be awarded for the contact, even though there is no way in a million years that caused a foul. I like the quality of football from abroad and how it's improved the Premier League, and I like the improved quality of tackling that has followed it. But I hate the blatant diving that is awarded simply for contact being made in a contact sport. It just creates a safe space for grown men to hit the floor and roll as if someone killed their children, it's not the same level but I've been elbowed in the face by someone twice my size in Saturday league and funnily enough it didn't stop my legs from working. Footballers nowadays get the tiniest of touches and go down, I don't like seeing players get injured but whenever someone takes diving to an extreme I pray to the gods that created Roy Keane that his spirit will take control of someone's body and they get absolutely slaughtered in the tackle. It was great when Neymar got put out of the world cup in Brazil, karma coming back full swing. Just needs to happen to a lot more players. But back on topic....I agree, red card
  23. One footed, foot was essentially on the floor...at this point it's a contact sport.
