The Kraken

Your original stats were incorrect. He started 21 league games and was sub in 10. In our final 10 league games of the a season, he started 6 times. That was when he was largely over his injury. Over the season, started in approximately 2 in 3 games he played in. Missed 15 league games largely due to injury. I like Charles a lot. But there’s nothing wrong with saying that by the end of the season, him Jander and Downes were pretty much a rotating three between two positions. Bragg also to a lesser extent. I’d prefer to keep Charles, but the idea that he started almost every game he played is off beam.

‘The left’ 🤣 it’s akin to Soggy calling anyone to the right of Zack Polanski a Tommy Robinson supporter. Political categorisation for the terminally thick.

Ange has always been a bit of a liability to Labour. Shes pretty gobby, not all that bright, and by various counts wasn’t ever that much of a great local MP. Never saw the appeal of her being so high up other than that she was obviously working class, making a success despite an impoverished upbringing. Would still love a go, mind.

Dear FA, please don’t ban me, I didn’t get a pay rise and some fans said hurts words. Yep, that should work.

Both only 19 years old, IIRC. Akachukwu about to turn 20. So, a bit of an ask for either of them to be a reliable option up top even off the bench occasionally. I haven’t seen much of either but Akachukwu seems to be described as an attacking midfielder rather than a striker in most outlets I’ve looked at. With Dobbin signed and supposedly a decent central striker, chances are going to be hard to come by if we secure a Stewart / Lankshear figure. Tonda will have a good idea of them though so time will tell.

Oh come now. You’re forgetting shagger Johnson so quickly? The lad was an expert swordsman, the ladies loved him, he’s got kids everywhere bearing his testament to procreation. What woman wouldn’t want this carcass sweatily heaving his way back and forth on top of them?

This is what it boils down to. As usual of recent days it’s the way we go out rather than the fact that, while we’re a top ten side, perhaps a top 5 one, we’re not right up there amongst the best in the world as a team. Argentina more than the sum of their parts, they knew how to win and we knew how to shit our pants, and they punished us for being weak.

I tend not to get too upset about losing when you don’t deserve to win, and we didn’t deserve to win. Just so frustrating for it to be self inflicted by some shocking management decisions then panic stations with Dan fucking Burn up front. Mike Bassett stuff at the end.

Who are the 4 or 5?

The worst thing is, you can just hear the needlessly smug twat uttering single word of that. Roll on the BBC coverage. ITV are just painfully shit in comparison.

France have got some great talent in their squad. And then they have Lucas Digne at left back.

Not unless it’s changed. Yellow card if you’re making a genuine attempt to play the ball. Red card if deemed not. Vamos Espana, 2-0.

Tour de France fans on the road.

RIP H from Steps.

Panini have actually lost the future contract, they got one more World Cup. Topps are set to take over after the 2030 tournament. Sad times.
