Brilliant news !
-
Remember all those ungodly youths nobody wanted anything to do with as they refused to accept 3rd world types, communists, republican sympathisers and all manner of other trash wherever they encountered them ?……..now, I’m not one to say we told you so but…..lol

As you know, this modern Astro is class compared to the “bald carpet” back in the day ! But it’s makes for a lot of nasty knee and ankle injuries, ligaments etc and it's murder on sore joints
-
This going to sound a bit pretentious but to the untrained eye people wouldn’t have noticed him, but it was all in the little things, he just played so simple as in, played the way he was facing, just played nice simple 5 and 10 yard passes, happy to just bounce a 5 yard pass, move and have it back then do something simple again. Didnt try and do anything flash, just kept everything ticking along with a real maturity beyond his years. Just oozed class. I mean, I’m not saying he has replaced Julian and Paulo as my West Ham man crush….but he was pretty f***ing close !
-
Not hard to spot, they are all the clubs with a massive injury list ! lol Joking aside, the standard of pitches in general non league is pretty phenomenal imho, I don’t mind Astro but it plays slow and it isn’t a patch in a nice, damp, grass pitch.

Don’t swallow all that mate, they only started it since he started going down there
-
Out of the little thumbs up things boys, but good chat and I agree with all of it.

I think it’s one of the main draws of non league, it’s proper football in every sense of the word. You can smell the grass, it’s very informal, you can have a tea and a pie and a decent chat with fans around you, it’s gritty on the pitch, no silly VAR, ordinary oiks prices, few quid in the raffle…..I love all that. League of Ireland is pretty similar except the fans are gonks ! lol But it has a very non league feel about it.

My last game at Upton Park was a Tuesday night cup game against Everton, when Adrian scored in the penalty shoot out….the tubes were f****d when we came out and me and my lad who was 7 at the time had to walk to Barking Station ! I didn’t see one person leave that game even though it ran over and the whisper was going round the station was closed. Irrelevant I know but your post bought back that memory.

I watched him against Cheltenham in like an FA cup game or something years ago, he was about 18?…..I said then he is going to be one of the great players and I stick by that. He would be a god in Italy !
-
Not rambling at all chief, I think all that is on the money. As far as Declan is concerned, I think we always knew this is what he should have been allowed to do all along, that he had this in his game. Just my opinion, but we wasted him at our club, mostly by just having him sit and fight fires but more criminally because we never went and built a team around him…….thats the story of us though isn’t it mate, Cole, Carrick, Lampard, Defoe, Ferdinand…it’s what we do.
-
You mention fans there and I’m glad you did, it’s something that has been on my mind for a while…..as a rule of thumb, aren’t premier league fans a bunch of absolute f***ing mongs now days ? Some of the utter shit you see them saying on social media is cringe worthy…..like, they literally have never played a game since school ! Absolute play station generation stuff, they seem to actually care about this utter drivel they pump out on sky sports, about slow motion fouls, about soppy as f**k ref decisions and big toes maybe offside ! Like it’s f***ing nonsense ! And all this booing your

100% mate

Arsenal are so mechanical for me and they don’t score enough goals from open play to be a killer team. I know the league don’t lie, but I personally don’t look at them and go “wow, who is stopping these dudes ?” I think Saka and this almost untouchable quality within that starting 11 is a weakness, I think when you buy a Geyokeres you have to Compliment him with proper wingers who are going to deliver into the box. They overplay around the box something terrible for my liking. I think, if they don’t win it this year it has to be considered a disaster ! Id say a chan
-
Right I’m going to say it, Manchester United have looked like Manchester United again the last few games !…..one fly in the ointment, when the silly c**t on Match of the day said “Carrick faces the team where he started” when they played Spurs……no you div, you can thank Tony Carr at West Ham For that ! But United have been great to watch under Carrick What you saying @NEWKID

No coincidence that you see a few young prospects heading to Germany to improve ?
-
As you know, I don’t mind the women’s game as a thing in itself but I totally agree with you about promoting it like it’s as big or important or the same as the men’s game because it just isn’t. If anything, I think the women’s game is shooting itself in the foot trying to do it…..levels mate, just know you level and be good at that, simple really. Politics, it’s the death of football everywhere…..if they had the best interest of the game at heart they would make more of a deal about making it accessible to young girls and spend less time making a load of noise like they are all Lion

Old duffers slowing down to look at the trim arses of school run mums !

I don’t agree about Frank, I think one look at Spurs tells you it don’t matter who it is……Mourinho, Conte, Postacoglu, you name it, none of them could make it work. Conte laid it out at that last press conference he did for them, what was it said ? “The story of Tottenham for years is this….” Bang on the money ! It’s deeper, deluded fans, deluded owners…..great facilities, toxic environment ! Has to be ? Frank is a good positive lad, I think he helped build something good at Brentford and you can see it still paying off……I mean, in what other world does Ivan Toney get talke
-
I have a completely different view of that mate, I actually like the idea of new, young managers with new ideas. I think they have something to prove, I think they are braver, maybe recklessly brave sometimes but for me that’s ok, that’s how I personally like football played. Some of these geezers (like my pal Moyse ! lol ) are so f***ing stale it’s just not true, it’s all a bit comfortable…..the old should get out the way of the young, it’s what happens on the pitch so why not off the pitch ? I mean, that’s not saying very experienced managers have no place but I think young blok
-
Then I have to ask mate, how is any of that any different to what we have been doing ? Because from what I can see, it isn’t. Not digging you out chief, just saying what I see.
-
Whenever I look at reporting, social media content or whatever I always, always stop and consider it, always ask myself “Am I missing something?, have I taken time to think it through ?” I like to think I do. Nobody wants an end to the catastrophe that is the U.K. more than me, nobody wants a proper, peacefully elected real change of culture in government more than me and I really hoped Reform was it. But, I have to call it how I see it. Theres truths that need to be spoken, we all know it, we have all wished just somebody, anybody, would just say them out loud. W

Is “weaponising” and just telling the truth the same thing mate ? I think the likeable thing about Lowe is that he don’t have to “weaponise” anything, he just tells it how it is and lets others embarrass themselves. We may want change, but I think destroying the Tory and Labour Party in perception is the best we are going to get…..change won’t happen with all the same people doing the job and getting upto the same old bullshit

Just read this statement from Rupert Lowe: I have received various questions on which parties have supported our rape gang inquiry efforts. Here is the honest assessment. A reasonable number of Conservatives have contributed - attending our survivor event, speaking to the hearings and backing our parliamentary efforts. Particularly Esther McVey who is an absolute hero. Although the Tory chairman this morning said our inquiry was a ‘distraction’, which I am incredibly angry about. What an insult that is. Labour? Almost nothing. A few MPs came to meet survivors in Westmin
