It’s been fairly crap if I’m honest. Tottenham should have buried us with n the first half. Cooper needs to sort whatever is up with Ricky and play some players that can create chances, so we aren’t on minus points by the time the points deduction kicks in.

To be honest @Daggers I’m more into D&B and Rock etc but not that many good albums!
-
1. Nirvana - Nevermind 2. Oasis - What’s the story 3. Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP 4. Adele - 21 5. Fugees - The Score Not in any particular order and it would change day on day.

People kicking off about prices …… it’s practically sold out

That famous Maresca side that was awful and didn’t win anything

I you sound like an unhappy fox

I go back to what I said in pre season. He needs sacking.

Time will tell, however everyone was happy with Souttar, Tete and Kristensen. That window was crap. People were uninspired with Albrighton, Fuchs, Kante and Dyer. That went well.

It’s an interesting topic and I think that answer is simple. The advancement of technology has picked up pace so much in the last 20 years alone, that the world is a closer place now, with knowledge at their end of their fingertips. Someone said to me recently that the world has more criminals and people looking to inflict harm now (they used more aggressive words to describe them), so you have to watch your children and you can’t let them do what we did in the 80s / 90s. I replied and said, they were always around, you just didn’t know about them. You had access to a newspaper and four TV channels in the early 80s, that was it! Of these four channels, the 21:00 watershed for TV was far more restricted to exposure to more explicit content and violence then than it is now. With things like Netflix, YouTube, On Demand services etc, it’s basically pointless. Reporters for these were largely local so they tended to report on your local village fete etc! The overall standard of living was lower, so keeping up with the Jones then was having a house! At one time, you were special if you had a TV! Now even having a wireless vacuum cleaner, GHD straightens or voice activated coffee maker has been a “flex” to put up on the social media as a barometer of how cool you are. Loads of people are chasing the dream that is the ideology that social media influencers portray. They’re toxic to the younger generation with their promotion of turkey teeth, lip fillers, orange bodies (I know I’ve gone a little off beat here but bear with me). They are gaining body dysmorphia as they are all chasing the same appearance. I’m aware of children getting bullied because they didn’t have a smart phone. They’ll also be an element of 0.001% of the world are “wrong uns”. Obviously bigger population, more of them like but let’s no think about that too much! Ultimately the horse has bolted on this and we aren’t going to put it back into the pen by banning smart phones for children in my opinion. They’ll still be exposed to news via other social media. Also, again slightly off topic but Children are getting more aware and to a degree smarter at a younger age. Someone said to me a while back, that they’d caught their daughter looking at image of “exposed” women (again not the term they’d used) on the internet and they were 10! I found my first image in a discarded magazine in a bush when I was a bit older! I’m still not sure to this day who was discarding all of those magazines in random bushes in the countryside. I’m guessing that isn’t a thing anymore.

The Broja deal broke down due to Chelsea / Leicester not being on speaking terms ….. from what I’ve been informed by various people now.

The case does have a few holes in it I’ll admit. I thought at the time with the “I’m evil” etc that she could just be self mourning. I guess it’ll need a complete re-evaluation and take it from that point.

This is the called the unpopular opinions thread for a reason. Some of what I wrote may have lost context with the sarcasm. i get people will want to see them, I’m just choosing not to’

Sorry! To put it into context I liked the earlier Oasis stuff a lot. In my opinion, the later stuff wasn’t as good, bar the odd song. They captured a moment and rode the wave brilliantly though. They were the sound of the 90s generation. I’m hoping for the people in attendance they just bash out the 10 - 20 classics and don’t try and shoehorn any new stuff or randoms in. It’s not the same crowd that typically turns up to watch a typical concert now. You’ll have people registering to go, that have never heard of Ticketmaster. I’ve seen Oasis quite a few times. When I’m in my 20s, I didn’t mind the hustle and bustle, mayhem, getting squashed as crowds surged, pints of pizz flying in the air, all out brawls as people got upset etc. I’m now in my 40s and I’m not sure I can be bothered to stand around with the people that will try and re-enact this type of behaviour but with the younger generation who’s closest thing to a concert like this might have been going to see Taylor Swift. The TikTok and influencers that will get tickets will never have seen anything like the carnage this could generate. It could be great, however it could go south pretty quickly! That fella Speed and his mates Logan Paul and KSI live steaming as he’s squashed against a barrier! Still a long time to go rehearsing and everything for them to fall out again as well. Also, you’re basically paying £150 to go to a bloody karaoke It could be great, it could be all out carnage. I’d imagine getting tickets is going to be more difficult that it was to go and watch them at Knebworth as well.

I’d play Ward on the wing over whatever Reid has offered so far.
-
Agree with this. He’s clearly got talent and got around. If anything, he looks technically better than KDH. He put a shift in tonight though.
-
What a hit that is!! Never doubted him!
-
When do Ward last keep a clean sheet for us?
-
He’s playing against Faes, Vestergaard and Coady! Any space behind and we’re screwed! He’s worked that out.
-
Okali looks average again so far.
-
The concerning thing is, he’s most likely the most creative player (other than Mavididi) on the pitch.
-
You mean the one - two off their forward?
