Pele is the ultimate example surely? Possibly the best player ever but thick as minceHim and Grealish are ready-made for it!

What?? Pelé seemed like a very thoughtful and intelligent guy. Even in English!Pele is the ultimate example surely? Possibly the best player ever but thick as mince
Wonder why you think Pele was thick...Pele is the ultimate example surely? Possibly the best player ever but thick as mince
Are you spotting a theme?Wonder why you think Pele was thick...
Nah, will be all fine after the Palace game. We're writing off the first 9 until we can start rolling over everybody, starting with Palace.Shit, moved on about three pages since I last looked, I thought something might be happening.
Lose the next three, maybe get something at Brentford so I’m guessing the Saturday night after the Palace game could be interesting.
More like sarcasm, lowest form of wit but often the funniest.I love the smell of irony in the morning.
Yes , but an added problem we now have is that we're not scoring enough either . Down to one goal most games . We're dominating matches for patches and not converting it into more than one goal . We're banjaxed then when the opposition turn the screw as they always tend to do .We've played 17 league games since March.
We've conceded 2 or more in 12 of those games.
You simply aren't going to win many matches doing that.
I admire your optimism .Something tells me we'll fluke a win. It won't be against City so maybe Brighton or Brentford - that will buy Gaz some more time.
Seriously, watch the six goals SJ has conceded. Only the Chris Wood header did he have a chance of saving, the others were either top bins, tap ins or wicked deflections. I don't care who's in goal, they ain't saving those.Whilst SJ is only -0.8. Both keepers we have played now have negative xG rates. So if we had a better keeper we'd potentially have more points.
It has Terry Connor written all over it.Whilst I wholeheartedly agree with you, Edwards is exactly who I would expect Jeff to replace O'Neil should he be sacked.
And it wouldn't work out.
Wha? When I was 17, I was lucky enough to meet the man. He booked a table at my friend's Dad's Italian restaurant on the Kings road, so my pal and I just happened to be loitering lol...Pele is the ultimate example surely? Possibly the best player ever but thick as mince
Oh and it was this...Wha? When I was 17, I was lucky enough to meet the man. He booked a table at my friend's Dad's Italian restaurant on the Kings road, so my pal and I just happened to be loitering lol...
Anyway, he was down to earth, friendly, charming and erudite. I shook his hand, we had a photo - sadly so sun damaged it could easily be Bruce Forsyth in the picture...
I asked "who's the greatest player you've shared a pitch with?" I still remember his answer (or three answers) he said;
"Carlos Alberto, Alfredo Di Stefano and of course Bobby Moore"
Maybe he was playing to the crowd with Bobby Moore, I dunno and I'd never heard of Di Stefano, but I read up on him the next morning in this lever arch mammoth of a sticker album I had from the 1990 World Cup (I forget who made it, but it's by far the best sticker album ever made - nearly completed it too).
"Thick as mince"? Fuck off.
Apparently it wasn't that. Di Stefano never played in a World Cup! I'm learning all about him again right now. I was bought so many books about football history as a kid, shelves full of them - as a result I only buy e-books these days.Oh and it was this...View attachment 11736
Made by Orbis. It was outstanding.

Even bad GK's make great saves. The Raya save was brilliant but you don't do it without a huge dollop of luck.A keeper has a role in a tap in. He doesn't take a great angle in the 3rd for the reasons I stated.
Look at the Raya save from the pen or the Kelleher save off the line, tremendous reaction saves that are probably comparable to the 2nd. It's not a goal every keeper let's in.
