First goal, a Baz special “could he have done better”. Obviously, they’ll be claims that the unluckiest goal keeper to ever put gloves on was beaten by an unstoppable Lorimer like effort, but I’d like to see the ghost save one of those once in a while. Third one, defo down to him, he’s so fucking passive, a decent keeper fucks manning out the way earlier or saves it with his feet. All I’m all typical Baz performance, question marks on one goal, a few routine saves hailed as Banks like by his apologists, and one goal a half decent keeper saves… No chance we’re promoted if he’s still in nets come may.

The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
Lord Duckhunter replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
No big deal, she’s basically spun things to justify tax increases, making out she had no choice. They all do it, but I guess as this is a “new broom” thread, it’s a relevant point. She claimed she had to freeze thresholds because the OBR downgraded productivity and therefore she’d have missed her fiscal rules. The reality is, due to higher inflation than they factored in, tax receipts were higher than the OBR expected so she was £4 billion better off. The tax freeze was a choice but she tried to spin it as a necessity. This indicates to me that she doesn’t really believe it’s the right thing to do. -

You didn’t need it, but tried to sponge off the state anyway. All because your Mrs didn’t like her job. It’s people like you which bring the benefits system into disrepute. Moaning about only have one car because you live in the sticks, fucking hell, you couldn’t make it up. Thinking the tax payer should subsidise your second car, dear god, it’s unbelievable. To think you preach about selfishness and immorality of Tories and reform voters, yet want your 2 income lifestyle maintained when your Mrs stops voluntarily stops working. -

It was a save I’d expect a reasonably competent keeper to make. In other words, it was surprising Baz didn’t let it in…

Sounds like you and your Mrs were two them. Moaning that the tax payer didn’t pony up because of your pension & the lack of a mortgage. This is the problem with welfare, people who don’t need it, thinking it’s a right. It’s spread way too thinly, with the deserving getting less because of that. -
😂😂 The nod’s go to idea. Bring Nigel or Ralph back to help the manager. What’s your next suggestion, let me guess, Beats in to coach the forwards…..😂

The salary sacrifice stuff looks like it could be something with unintended consequences long term. It won’t affect my age group too much as it’s delayed (probably in the hope it won’t need to be implemented), but it will end up giving younger people less in retirement. Whilst not as far reaching as Gordon Brown , who basically killed FS pensions in the private sector, it will widen the generation gap when it comes to pensions and when people can retire. -

Pretty much spot on… -
If he loses 3 or 4 on the bounce people will be moaning he was given the job. I’m torn myself. He clearly hasn’t got the experience, but 4 out of 4 is deserving of the job. You never know, he could be exceptional & be a fantastic manager, but equally it could be new manager bounce, with him not having the know how to manage after the initial bounce. Nobody really knows. The ideal solution would be to give him the gig until the end of the season, but you do risk losing him to a Fulham/Bournemouth type club during a preseason management merry go round, if he does turn out to be a gem.

Fucking joker… We’re far more tolerant than most, including the French, Italians, Poles & Hungarians all of whom are in the EU….You need to get out of your white ghetto a bit more.,

We were in a higher league. So no, we didn’t score 5 in the first half when we beat Liverpool, City, Arsenal or Chelsea. We probably would have had a few 5’s had we been facing more teams fresh out of league 1… Dear god, it wasn’t performance of the decade. It was our best performance in a very poor season. That’s it, calm down a bit and see how the next few weeks pan out.

There were plenty under Puel & Ralph,against far better sides than Charlton. There were one or two under Hughes as well, we had just as good performances under Lego in this league last time out. Even Nathan jones produced one in the cup which was just as good. I guess denying City the only trophy they didn’t win that season, doesn’t match up with beating a team fresh out of league 1. People need to calm down, far better players than charltion, QPR & Sheffield Weds beat those 3 sides, playing very well in one of those games, that’s it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Make your mind up, is it a decade or 2025?
