  1. But then I really know **** all about cars so any guidance, suggestion, or support is gratefully received.
  2. I was drawn to this as there's proof of cam belt and water pump change within the last 2 years. Think that justifies the extra 600 or so on the asking price - the owner has clearly cared for it.

  4. After some advice. I'm in the market for a new car and want to buy a golf. There's one available for circa £5.2k with 94k on the clock. 1.6 TDI. Is this a good purchase for the price, engine type, and longevity etc?
  5. Perhaps that's the strength. Defenders generally tend to come into their prime a little later as experience is more telling in that third of the pitch. A winger, for example, can lose the ball ten times in a loss without it being an issue. A defender can make a single mistake and it cost the game. There's less room for error. Perhaps being good at that age is three strength.
  6. Hard to feel any sympathy when he used the pandemic to feather his and his friends nests, to have parties whilst others were fined heavily for simply meeting, and lying consistently and eagerly. Your sympathy should not be reserved for that particular toxic blowhard.
  7. The problem is nobody ever challenges his obvious and total lies. Why didn't anyone at the enquiry actually ****ing challenge that obvious and clear lie properly. 'No - that's not how it works and you're telling a lie.' That's all you need to say. If he continues to lie get someone from the ****ing company to challenge him on it. It could be a matter of proving criminal negligence. If nobody challenges it then it's a tacit admission of acceptance.

  9. The problem with COD is that every lobby is just full of folks who have dedicated 95% of their adult life to it. You can't enjoy it in Warzone as you're constantly sniped from a thousand meters by someone with elite tier PC spec. The intentional gubbing of levels to find easier lobbies just makes a mockery of SBM. At least Fortnite has that half right with the tiered lobbies; it can still be enjoyable losing.
  10. He's good isn't he? I get the feeling he signed for the potential as much as the club which is really important. Just coming into his prime. Hopefully we've not seen the best either as he's just coming into his prime.
  11. He looks mustard. Needs managing in his return though. Significant injury that could still go one of two ways. We're all desperate to see him succeed but I'm not certain that promotion so quickly after recovery is wise. When he gets to the first team he'll have a weight of expectation - some fan, some club, some self - that might lead to over exertion. I'd advocate for a few months of confidence building in a less immediate environment.
  12. I mean - does anyone remember the Rodgers 'masterclass This type of stuff I find to be hubristic.
  13. New map is quite stunning. I know people don't like it for the building and it's general childishness but boy is it lovely to look around.
  14. Why is she even on the show? She's the failed system manifest. An entitled, thick, dullard. Just dreadful.
  15. Guys. It's the process. Genuinely breathtaking stuff.
  16. It's the process. Just like Rodgers' system.
  17. It's the process.
  18. Another slow and ponderous half hour of football where I get the distinct feeling we're good enough to win this comfortably but are destined to lose because we're not going to take advantage of our strengths.
  19. Flattered to decieve so far. I'd be playing Yunus over him for sure.
  20. Well it would piss a few folks off having moved it for television only to not show it.
  21. It's me and it's also my wife.
  22. I was correct at the start of the season when the Dr Footballs were calling Vesteegaard's 180 passes a game 'genuinely breathtaking' and I'm correct now. To be a successful manager you need more than a philosophy. You need multiple approaches to team selections and tactics because - and I can't stress this enough - other managers are trying their hardest to change THEIR philosophy to beat you. Under Rodgers we had 'the system' and if you questioned the ponderous and laboured side to side passing you were told it's part of the system by someone who went to football University. Now it's 'the process' Each time, however, there's no acknowledgement that either concept has flaws and requires a plan B. To be successful Maresca now needs to be adaptable as there's a template for frustrating Leicester City into a result. This has been the case since the start of the season.
  23. The last line is telling - when we were winning everyone was saying that the entertainment factor shouldn’t even be raised. After all - we’re winning. Last night was truly woeful. We were not fun to watch and we were rubbish. I’d be interested to hear the defence of ‘the process’ now. I’m not opposed to the system and tactics we play in principle but I’m extremely mindful that it’s not a million miles away from what Brendan used to play and we came a cropper there with a lack of any real plan B once teams were matching us. This looks to be happening right now - I said I thought would happen and remarked how Enzo really should have a plan B but I was told the passing at the back is breathtaking and part of the process.
  24. Unfortunately, the good will that the British built up - internationally - from our role in the World Wars seems to have disappeared. Probably was we’ve closely aligned ourself with America. Unfortunately, we’re going through a phase where we are being viewed as the crux of all wrong in the world. Imperialism was, of course, bad. But it A) isn’t the modern British persons fault - we’re closer generationally to War heroes than slavers and B) it did help other areas of the world develop. This isn’t, of course, a suggestion that we’re heroes. But it certainly isn’t as cut and dried as ‘Boo down with the Brits’.
  25. About three weeks into the season I raised the point that this brand of football is only useful with a plan B. I pointed out that Rodgers’ downfall was a lack of a plan B. I was met with derision from the football professors who hinted at a nebulous ‘process’ and described it as ‘genuinely breathtaking’. Unfortunately, not in possession of a football PhD from the University of Football I had to bide my time. Last night, and the past few games, we can see exactly why I said what I said. We lack any plan B at all and, if teams set up correctly, we waste vast swathes of time not penetrating. We’ve become a predictable team easy to play against and Enzo now needs to earn his seed and produce a different game plan. This would have been good to discuss weeks ago but obviously people’s breath was so taken by the esoteric process that I was viewed as an idiot. Anyone who made the long, cold journey to Hillsborough last night will have seen writ large the problems with our tactics. We’ve not got the players that Man City have to blow teams away and we don’t have the different gears that Man City have.
