Reason for that apparently is that Fulham are at home today, not saying I agree with that as they or we could have played early and the other could have had an evening kickoff, to allow fans to dissipate before the others begin to show up.

Dwmh Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 1 minute ago, east lower said: With respect, Chilwell barely got near the halfway line, never mind across it. Villa took control of the midfield as we struggled to keep possession of the ball. The coach’s substitutions did what they usually do and made us less than we were before them. We gambled on an energetic press getting us a goal by 60 mins. It didn't work out. When you spend that much energy the last 30 mins was always going to be about hanging on. Especially as Chilwell was the only sub the manager (and most fans) offered enough to bring on, the others were kept off the pitch till the 77nd min, which suggests a knackered Sterling and Madueke are rated higher than a fresh Mudryk or Broja, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more time he spends on the pitch shows him up and his value in the transfer market will decrease. We hardly got the ball to Mudrych, so no one could judge if he was able to do a job or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really straightforward? Because I’ve reached a point with SKY/BT where I don’t want to put any more money into them then I need to.

On the positive side the team looks more of a functional and creative unit without either Jackson or Broja which ask the question, bringing in another number 9 who do you take out and what are the consequences.

No it is a vanguard. it'll take 3 years before we make players out of the U21s. Meanwhile our solid core is playing against squads. If we continue to progress at the same rate over the next year, with just the addition of a quality CF we might well be challenging for top four next season and be well ahead of schedule. Just think about that for a second A young squad with still so much room for improvement, some years away from reaching its peak years and with many years of their best ahead of them. Add a few more quality signings and we'll be right back up there challenging the best again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTG Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 12 hours ago, martin1905 said: We were much better than them in the first half, they were much better than us in the second. Maybe we run out of steam but I don't think thats the case. At all. We saw a completely different Aston Villa in the second half and Pochettino is incapable of reacting. He's fine when things are going well but useless at managing a game of football. This game summed him up perfectly manager. No tactical nous whatsoever. He literally just watches things unfold and does absolutely nothing to change it, always has and always will. I did not see it originally, however Poch was hired by your beloved TBSD because he is a company man will not rock the boat and happy to take the paycheques. Here we are 4 days to go before the end of the transfer window and not one player has arrived which supporters could say is a Poch signing. Like it or not Poch is the best the company are going to get until they realise Scouts cannot create a top football team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god for that. No point building a squad for a stop gap manager. 19 minutes ago, ROTG said: Like it or not Poch is the best the company are going to get until they realise Scouts cannot create a top football team He was the best because he is a yes man which is what we needed, in the short term. The Scouts have done a tremendous job in identifying and brining in some of the best young talent in the world. Quite happy to let Pochettino be the man to let the young players learn on the job and get them ready for the next man to take them to the next level.

NoblyBobly Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 12 hours ago, boratsbrother said: Test Cricket is over 5 days, so even more impossibly boring for you.😁 Imho, Test Cricket at its best is as fascinating as any sport. The way it can flow from one side to the other each day and one session to another. Skill, concentration over hours each day often in very hot weather. The hugely important role of the Captain and his tactics. The different types of bowling and styles of batting. For me, sporting tedium is F1 - Watching cars go round and round with most exciting hits being how fast they change the tyres. Basketball - You score, we score, you score, we score, you score.....zzzzzzzz. American Football - A sport designed for TV to cram in adverts every five mins. But as with everything in life, each to their own.🙂 Totally agree with the last bit. I would never deny anyone their sport , but you must admit that if you compete with another team for 5 days and you don’t get a result , it’s a bit of a damp squib. It’s the only sport that when watching you can have a nap, go to the supermarket, cook your dinner, eat it, have another nap , wake up and continue watching without having missed anything significant. I actually didn’t mind playing cricket when I was younger but as for watching!! You’d get someone like Geoff Boycott take the crease. I knew what was coming for the next 6 hours and would be looking for a noose to throw over the bannister. I have seen ( back in the day) televised cricket with more people on the field than in the stands. The ball hits the boundary and three old men stop snoring and wake up and slowly clap before fading off back to sleep. it doesn’t help that I’ve never totally understood the intricacies of the rules. Some players pad blocks the ball from hitting the stumps . Everyone jumps up screaming “howzat!!”. Umpire shakes his head slowly and everyone calms down. Apparently the ball pitched here or there so it doesn’t count or the angle of the dangle wasn’t quite right. And the whole declaration thing confuses me . But please don’t try and clear that up because I honestly don’t care. I still have a job so I only have time for so many sports, namely football, tennis, golf and very occasionally rugby and boxing. Everything else can carry on without me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone a similar way to Kev, but not with Kodi, but a very similar set-up. I have a couple of mates who do it the way you're talking about for £50 a year and think I may go that way... going to see how I get on with this on the bedroom TV and if it feels reliable enough, I'll upgrade to the paid version and replace everything currently on the main TV in the living room. The new way I have it set up will be an improvement from watching the non-tv matches on the laptop at least. Annoyed I didn't do it sooner, just presumed it was more complicated than it was.
