Comrade 86

At 5.00PM! That's a late lunch, not a dinner! 😋

Oz is brilliant, but seriously grim. I watched it about 10 years back, end to end, and it certainly left a mark. It won't be for everyone though, but then what is?

I liked Kin, the second series more than the first, but I agree with your appraisal. All very subjective though, as we all like different things. I think my top 5 in the crime genre would be True Detective #1, The Wire, The Sopranos, Gomorra and Oz, though I'd probably say something quite different on another day.

I think both Clowes and Warne like to do their trades a certain way and I wouldn't be surprised if he's been weighed in and sent on his way to be honest. Irrespective, I don't think the deal is in danger. Someone suggested Monday to get EFL stamp, which is plausible, or maybe the clubs are just making a point. Hopefully it's all signed and sealed tomorrow, if not already.

Not beyond the realms, is it? I thought it was all quite funny, but you can see how it would piss off Derby and even more so, Charlton. I looked at his Twatter this morning and he seems a bit of a dodgepot tbh. Big fan of Andrew Tate, which would be enough to put me off.

What's Flopsie or whatever he calls himself saying now then? He seems to have rather clammed up.

Had no idea this guy was so delusional. Saw him chat a couple of times during his Watford days and he seemed really sound. Shows what a shyte judge of character I am!

Where you seen this Amber?

I've got the dreaded Rona, so been laying up since Wednesday which has allowed me to re-visit Gomorra. Amazed at how much I missed first time around, it was even better this time. Just about to start True Detective #1 as I can't find much current that sparks my interest.

Take your point mate, but perhaps we're looking to do both? I think that overall, Smith probably brings a little more to the table than Collo and while I'm delighted at the latter's form this season, we'd be in deep doodoo if he got injured. Also, won't CBT give us a pace dimension upfront too, albeit from the flanks? It's still the midfield that has me slightly concerned tbh.

*You're 😋

Problem is though that even if we do tax the super-rich, where does that tax get spent? It's certainly not on the welfare state, so it makes no difference to those most in need. Seems to me that if it's not the 1% hoovering up all the cash, then the politicians and their mates are always next to arrive at the table.

Mock the Gumps all you like, but I bet you lot secretly all wish you were getting beat every week and facing relegation from a points deduction. #werelovinit

Got to be Smith, hasn't it? Got to be honest and say while I'd be very happy with CBT and Smith, I'd love to see us bring in a box to box type to shore up midfield and link our play. I'd say a CDM to be honest, but I don't think Warney values that role.

Think most of your post is probably rhetorical, but the above is an interesting conundrum. The government trialled UBI in a couple of regions in England beginning June 2023. Ultimately, that's going to be how things go, I reckon as AI in all its forms, will replace huge numbers of workers and probably very soon. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jun/04/universal-basic-income-of-1600-pounds-a-month-to-be-trialled-in-england

31Vickers - 7.0 - Really good shift from Josh. I'd still prefer Joe as first choice, but perhaps these games will benefit us and keep Joe keen. 2Wilson - 7.0 - Played well again I thought. He's far better defensively than often assumed. 35Nelson - 7.5 The pick at the back, where he looked back in prime form. He's such a solid signing. 6Cashin - 6.0 - Is he carrying a niggle? He looked to be struggling almost from the outset. Entitled to a bad game though, given his imperious form this season and that goal line clearance earned him a probably generous 6.0. 20Elder - 7.0 - Is he settling down? Again looked rusty early, but he looked a lot better later in the game and I think the minutes will serve him well. 7Barkhuizen - 6.5 - Difficult season for Tom, but he's shown that a return to his best in imminent in recent games. Industrious again today. 16Thompson - 6.5 - An unselfish grafter, Liam must be close to full fitness now. Could he start in MF to provide us with much needed legs? 8Bird - 7.0 - Thought Max was decent today, but in a midfield 2 against a pacy attack, it's difficult to shine. 4Hourihane - 6.0 - Leggy and off it today after showing better consistency in recent weeks. Hopefully just a blip, but midfield remains a query for me. 11Méndez-Laing - 6.5 - Willing as always but not at his best today. CBT to provide cover and / or additional attacking threat is a big deal, as teams seem to be doubling up on Nate. 17Sibley - 6.0 - Didn't really notice him that much during the game and it's becoming frustrating that we can't get the best, or even close to it, out of the lad. I had high hopes for him this season, but I don't see him getting enough games where he wants to play to prosper. 19John-Jules - 7.0 - Added something, but not enough. I still think there's plenty in the locker though. 9Collins - 6.0 - A rare off day, he worked hard as always, but was ineffective. I suspect he'll be getting minus scores from one 'supporter' on here. WarneWatch - Feel for him a little as he's just got the team playing and now absences and injuries seem to be undoing our previously staunch defence. I do think we could have reacted quicker to their threat, but I suspect he'll feel the players have let him down a bit today. He's probably counting the minutes until Ryan Nyambe returns.

He looked ok with ball at feet, but he shat the bed every time he wriggled free. Reminds me of Alfie May minus the goals. Funny thing is, if he were Derby, he'd be getting a fearful kicking on here tonight. MagicFlan, for one, would be having kittens 😱

Didn't know that petal. Or that you are such a whiny feckin bitch either. Sorry.

It like a man. What do I win?

FFS, the word is 'performance' 😂
