Premier League Thread

I have no idea who or what you are referring to, but I get the impression that your image isn't a favourable one..?

Poor PL.

Incidentally, that young Dan in the Kingsland Roar sounds like PL when you read about his exploits on dates. Try it.

 

Not really unfavourable as Shredder is a bit geeky but likeable.

 

Says the bloke that can't get into a great to like Sunderland.....

 

I still have no idea who you are referring to.

 

One to savour...

Stylax is known as Shredder at work (because it's his job)....couldn't remember his name, so had to look it up.

 

Signed him for saints on the last FM. Was useless. Per the game his primary role as an attacker is as a "False 9". Not only would this not suit our game but I think the idea of this position has died a death after people realised it was only really effective for Spain and Barca (and even Spain have given up on it)

 

Now I'm just getting more and more confused. Shall I just take to Google..?

 

I knew you'd come back again...why not just accept that you haven't watched Plebs? I just skip the bits where people mention GOT characters.

 

Ah, this is a TV programme..! There are numerous areas where I am entirely ignorant of things, and TV progs are often amongst them.

 

haha television. i remember that.

 

Honestly, I watch about 3-4 hours a week maximum. Most of that is football, these days, but there's the odd documentary thrown in. And QI and HIGNFY. I'll probably watch a tad more now that the effing autumn and winter seasons are upon us. Radio 4, 4 Extra and 5 Live tend to take a battering from me.

 

I'll run iplayer when something interesting has been on but even then I tend to watch the first episode and then forget to watch the rest (Driver being the latest offender)

 

I suppose my best example has been Dr Who. When it came out I was a wee little kid and I used to watch it. I used to find it mildly entertaining, but never found it frightening or anything like that. However, when series like Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, etc... came around Dr Who was a bit poor by comparison. Star Trek finally put an end to any regular viewing. Occasionally I'd watch the odd episode just for old times sake, but I could never get past the cheapness of it. Anyway, that's history.

These recent years, people have been telling me how good Dr Who has been. It does win awards, etc.., so I gave it go, especially after they cast Peter Capaldi, who I've always liked as an actor in films after Local Hero. And I've tried to watch it. Even the Beeb are making it easier by making the episodes available for ages after transmission. But I never get around to it. I just have more interesting things to do than watch TV. At the moment I'm interrupting learning anew tune on the guitar to write this. But that's OK, cause I like corresponding on here.

And I'm listening to chat about AFC Bournemouth on Radio 5.

So the pitch is better for the opposition who play on it once a season than it is for Spurs who play there 19 times. May not suit his style, but the pitch is the pitch...he has to find a way to accommodate it.

 

No. Everything has to accommodate Poch style of playing, pitch included.

 

It raises an interesting point...if Poch is right, was our performance adversely affected by playing on smaller pitches at some away matches.

As a side note, I'm sure I remember some manager (possibly in League 1) moaning that we had widened the St Marys' pitch to suit our style.

 

Mark Clattenberg dropped from this weekends games for breaching 2 rules: Speaking to Neil Warnock on the phone after the game and for leaving the ground on his own.

Mark Clattenburg acting unprofessionally? Well, I never.
