Turned it green and was called a Frog Bite ? only real ale passes my lips these days ?? The Bless home of students and random drinks since the dawn of time . Spent at least two nights a week in there from 17-21. It's weird that is it's in such a non descript part of the city yet every generation of students finds it like a homing pigeon.

I have absolutely no idea what it contained, but it tasted okay. It was a bit of a fad for the first few weeks, before everyone realised you could get Strongbow Cloudy Apple for £1.70 a pint. It contained the normal ingredients you get in student bars since time began - a pipe from the urinal to the pump with a splash of lime to give it colour. At £2 a pint no-ones to fussed.

jimtastic56 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Sorry , not convinced yet that Bielik is a £10 mill player. Certainly not the best midfielder in the Championship. David Brooks looks a £35 mill player. But as a midfield anchor man he has to do what Calvin Phillips did in terms of goals and assists. And also be a dead ball expert. It may come but getting over an ACL is the first step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few places you could get theakstones old perculiar when I was a lad. Remember having 5 pints the lunchtime of a match day completely bladdered at the game . I had a date with my later to be wife that evening and I recall standing in the shower at 8 desperately willing myself to get sober as she was due to arrive in 30 mins.

I noticed that Beilik had an ice pack strapped to his knee, which would suggest that he is not fully over his injury yet. I hope he hasn't been brought back too soon. We don't want an other George Thorne scenario - a brilliant player wrecked through mishandling an injury. It's OK, Rotherham have sorted it out ?

You're very obsessed mate. haha I used to wonder if you just spouted crap to get a reaction but now I know its just that you talk crap full stop like seeing things through rose tinted glasses when Rooney is in charge yet slagged Cocu constantly ...... wish David would introduce the yawn emoji as it'd put your reactions total through the roof .................

G-Ram Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Bielik is class Before his injury i thought he wasn't very good. Looked a donkey at CB and changing positions & not being able to settle in a position probably didn't help. Also sometimes you're only as good as those around you. Bielik can get the ball quite tight turn & play a decent forward pass. He's done some quality through balls. However you can only play them sort of balls if others are willing to run. Under cocu we were always static, playing the way were facing & not moving enough off the ball. We're now seeing how good bielik is because Rooney has us playing to his strengths & has players willing to make forward runs into space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it bewildering that a manager like Cocu, who played at the highest levels in teams far more technically advanced than ours - why would he not train something as intuitively obvious as passing into space and running onto passes?

Coneheadjohn Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Love watching Bielik glide about,makes me feel calm and warm inside. Got a presence which is a little Igor esque and that can only be good. I haven’t seen him get airborne since he’s been back either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 The enforced weeks 'rest' for Bielik following yesterdays postponement will be very useful I think. I'm quite frankly astonished by how fit & mobile he's looked so far after such a serious injury & it he has to be managed to some extent , so maybe yesterday is a blessing in disguise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Rooney says that Bielik is not a centre half and will not be playing CH while he is in charge. He also says that Bielik will get better and better. I think most footballers need clear guidance in what is expected of them so they know their role. Rooney said of Jozwiack that you only have to tell him once and he will do what is expected. Makes me wonder if Cocu could make it clear to players and whether they could do what was asked if them. All that passing in our own half until we had the ball taken off us was just boring and ridiculous. If the plan is good and each player knows what to do it is likely to bring good results. If you do not follow instructions then you do not play. Fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Has shown again today why he is so so important to this team. We talk about Knight never stopping but watch the game back and Bielik is everywhere, drops between the CBs and midfield seamlessly. Don't like the idea of a team built around a player but the return to 433 only works because of Bielik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I just parked next him Allestre Park. I’m putting the dog in our car and he and his partner are doing the same with their golden lab. I am so half asleep that I am thinking, you look very young to be driving a V8 twin Turbo 4x4 Merc. There is something familiar and he’s tall .. then I’m back in the car and see the reg ends in KBB and the penny drops ? ... Anyway I had my Rams hat and scarf and I think he noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
