Another canny club video there. I wouldn't read too much into that last bit. He's not gonna say for deffo and, as we know, Eddie doesn't Bruce the cunts back to graft until he's 100% certain. Bench will suffice. 

My early morning ex-skunkers take on that is

a) how come, those two lazy bastards haven't been arsed to learn English when they've been here years AND

b) how many people bought a shirt, walked down the line and got down to Manquillo and were too embarrassed to say "nah, mate, it's areet"?  *

* like the bloke and glad he's still involved. With Krafth out he can still do a job.

How come Steve Gibson hasn't aged in 27 years.

Was just thinking that. He's a decent owner, for sure.

Reading through the BBC commentary... literally no idea who most of these FM regen names are. And that's for both sides, although mainly Sunlun

 

Also, get your "Boro fan in peyce" bingo cards at the ready for later:

 

- "Your fans"

- Best team we've played so far 

- Definitely hope yous go up this season

- Fuck them up the road

- youz always have bigger crowds, youz like

 

Etc.

The referee looks like a middle aged divorcee who went to Benidorm on a ‘lads’ holiday to cheer himself up and stayed to run a bar which he also DJ’s in.

Got an Eric Idle vibe

Muniz leapfrogging the scorer was canny impressive

You DHgaters will be the reason we don't sign a world class midfielder in the January window. 

I'm going to do a Venn diagram of people who have posted they don't want a new ground, don't want the ground renamed, call half the team "Championship plodders", suggest player a/b or c in Jan who also buy snide tops. 

Biggest game of the season the neet.

Barring a continued injury crisis though I don't seem much happening in January at all

Might be a few players who've chosen "stick" prior to the World Cup might want to "twist" in Jan, tho. 

If it's someone we like we'll go

What would the "nearly perfect" points total be around? i.e. getting all results right, but a few goals wrong here or there... Just to put the wekly scores into context...

No idea but @joeytgot 33 in rd4 iirc. The beast

Speaking of the bairn, I saw he pulled out of a podcast with The Mouth stating his reason being "because of all the comments"? Think the other "guest" was Beresford iirc?

Yeah, let's hope that once he hits his 40s he'll have become so mature that he'll spam post about how much they don't like a 21 year old YouTuber and how he's a nonce and has a speech impediment all day every day.

He’s great him, Adam P take note!

He's canny enough. Certainly a tad more eloquent than young Pearson but then again that's a low bar. 

On that note I was listening to Radio1 on Bank Holiday Monday morning only to hear, the rather easy on the ear, Emil Franchi. 

Canny step up from navigating his way through interviews with pissed up mags outside the ground on matchdays ?

Yeah, I like Howe's calm professional approach, but I don't think our players are always active enough in calling for decisions, like the Stones taking out Schar in the penalty area, if our players had called more strongly for a penalty I think it might have been given. As it was they just got on with the game and made it easier for VAR to not ask the ref to give it another look.

Totally agree here like. Said at the time. Hound the ref so VAR has to intervene

That’s my take - just read a pathetic article on the mag saying he spoke to a West Brom fan before the game who knows an official who knows that since the take over it’s all a stitch up. I thought the same, tripps red card, wolves disallowed goal etc. it’s just a broken system.

 

They all have it in for us

Yeah, forgot about the red card reversal, which was correct and a rare moment of strong VAR work. 

Just now, Lush Vlad said:

Nah. Not having that. The Bowen one was just as bad as the Willock decision. Both are absolutely absurd and clearly the wrong decision. There is no grey area. 
 

Seems keepers are still massively over-protected.

Appreciate I'm either being a hypocrite or trying to have my cake and eat it in a way but I've already said the West Ham goal should've stood. I just think Bowen left them a get out by, ultimately, trying to cheat a penalty. 

No argument the refs are shit and their use of VAR in total dissarray.

Disagree, let the pundits point out how shit the decisions are — if you're pissing and moaning all the time as a manager it's not a good look.

Otherwise known as Klopping 

Ours is clear cut. Lee Mason wants either sacked or kicked to death, his choice ?

The Bowen one isn't, imho. If I was a ref I'd give the goal. However, as Ive stated, Bowen leaves a foot in. We've all seen them do it. Vardy was particularly good at it. Salah too. Leave a foot in, cheat a penalty. 

Bowen, in cheating, cost his side an equaliser by given the ref/VAR team an excuse. 

I know Mendy wasn't ever gonna get up and save the resulting shot but Bowen tried to cheat and it cost them. 

Dog awful it may be but, other than the institutional bias to the bigger teams that's always prevailed, I'm not minded to think the whole things stitched up. I just think their massively incompetent. 

I can't even figure out why ours was struck off. Its a goal OR a pen all day. 

Just watch the Bowen one. He leaves a foot in. Regardless that Mendy ain't saving Cornet's shot, Bowen gave the ref/VAR a get-out. 

If there was a definite conspiracy against us the foul on Fraser v Wolves wouldn't have been given. Maybees Miggy v City would've been overturned? 

It's just shit refereeing

It's a goal OR a penalty nothing else could possibly be the right call.
