That is the main point. 6 wins from 7. If anyone had suggested he would have so many points on the board in his first 7 games they would have been laughed off the forum. It hasn’t always been pretty but he has got us scoring goals and winning games. Got to be happy with that.

We aren’t going to win them all. There seemed to be a lot of hoofing it long (Plan B?) second half and it just kept coming back at us. We played controlling football in the first half but just seem to sit back and defend. Maybe being 3 up makes us think the game is won at half time? Fair play to West Brom though. They pulled themselves together, put in a great effort and will be gutted they didn’t come away with a point.

If his Plan A is to win many more than he loses perhaps he doesn’t need one 😉

Yay! Only his second game as official head coach and already called out for not having a Plan B. Must be a record!

Please don’t compare me to him.

I am not sure what a beenfit is? Good for your family. So what? Plenty of people work really hard and still find it hard to make ends meet. Anyway, any chance of hearing what my “extremist” views are? Judging by your recent comments I’m guessing they involve supporting the welfare state.

“Far right” trigger alert. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0q57yy0pyvo.amp

Milk the system? None of us have got any idea but I am prepared to bet that the vast majority of people on benefits are not milking the system. Have you ever tried to get benefits?

How do you know just how many people who are taking benefits should not be receiving them? Given the massive leap in the cost of living in the UK over the last few years, don’t you think that many a “responsible tax payer” has found themselves in need?

He’s a proper journalist though! 😂

I thought that you were shacked up in Thailand with nic? My bad if not. The point was that Thailand is more of an authoritarian place to live than the UK. Do you have a problem with improving law and order in the UK? The only people who will have a problem with facial recognition will be those who have done something wrong. We are currently constantly caught on CCTV, door cameras, dashcams etc. Do you have a problem with those? You ignored my constant request to explain what my extremist views are. You are a bit of a hypocrite aren’t you?

Pretty much, yes, although I catch up with some of it now on Planet Rock. Our 6th form common room was directly above the Headmaster’ office. The Upper 6th used to bring in albums by Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, The Nice etc. The noise must have driven him to distraction, but he never complained, bless him. (Ear plugs, probably).

The whole episode was a disaster yet it doesn’t seem to making the news as much as Rachel Reeves’ chess championship claim and Angela Raynor’s faux par. No surprises that Johnson’s handling of the pandemic has been heavily criticised, but there are some people who should be facing criminal charges for corruption. Who would have thought that Eat Out To Help Out would have spread the virus more widely? 🙄 If a Labour government had done the same this thread’s page count would be into double figures by now.

As a spotty youth back in 1969/70 I was into what was called in those days hard or heavy rock; Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Groundhogs etc. By the mid 70’s I was thoroughly bored with the genre, sold all my albums and listened to other stuff. I was convinced that it would die a death soon. Fifty plus years later and “heavy” music is still a thing. Mind you, I thought that rap music was going to be a five minute wonder, so what do I know?

🫣 You’ve done it now!
