Another game and no goals...

Not wishing to say I told you so but I told you so....

And how many goals has Martin scored?

Thats still not an opinion that’s a comment on someone else’s opinion. Let me help. Do you think he is a striker? 

It’s my opinion (rather than my OPTION) on your comment. 
And to answer your question, he’s what would be perceived as a wide striker at this point in his career, there are plenty of strikers that weren’t renowned as out & out goalscorers but that were classed as strikers as they would tend to be a partnership & do more of the spade work for their goal scoring partner.

Semenyo has currently assisted with 6 goals, now if he was in a fixed position of left-midfield, some of those goals wouldn’t of occurred (or he wouldn’t of set them up) as he would of been stuck on the wrong side of the pitch.

Maybe you are stuck too much on the title of a playing position? Semenyo certainly wouldn’t be classed as a midfielder or a winger in my OPINION but would be classed as a forward. Some people are unable to differentiate between the two.

If I wanted to do that I would have posted last week, the week before and the week before that.... It’s an option rather knowing what I am talking about. It’s sort of how forums work. If you have a opinion on the subject please share it. If you need a bit of guidance look at how others have responded. See you on my post next week.... 

It just seems ironic how negative posts against players come out after we’ve lost, rather than making the point when we’ve not lost!

Just my OPINION though.

First thing is I am not saying his not worth his place in team at the moment.When I said on here that I just don’t think he will make it as a striker I got pelters. He has had a few good games and I got reminded of my post. But I still stand by my option he won’t make a championship  striker. I said he won’t get 10 goals a season and I stand by that call. Wide in a front 3 yes but he still has to score at least 6 a season. If he can’t then for me then we find someone who can. O’Dowda should have been let go for the same reason 2 seasons ago. So if he ain’t a striker then Wells has to play as one of the front 3. If we play with a 2 then for me it’s Martin. Goals win you games and we have to find the right mix of players that in a attacking 3 who get 10 games plus a season. If we don’t then we wont progress to the next level. So for me it’s simple he plays but if he ain’t scoring then we try someone else. For me it’s a bit like Massengo we all want the youngsters to be the answer and we have to give them time but eventually you have to make a honest judgment. Some times it does not work out. Bakinson is now way ahead of him and that was in just 12 months. Time will tale. I know I will get questioned for this post. I am sure I will be reminded of this post if he starts  to score goals. Hopefully I will. But honestly ask yourself is he a championship striker?

So are you going to keep repeating yourself every time he doesn’t score? In the hope that you might convince everyone to think you that you might know what you are talking about?

I see Alex Albon made a mess of his car in practice today. Reported that the damage will cost ONE MILLION POUNDS to repair 

That could affect his no claims bonus then

Race in Turkey has got underway in damp conditions to say the least & this is the way F1 should be raced every time.

They are spinning out all over the place & it’s like going down the M5 with spray all over the place.

Love it, mine arrived this lunch time after only ordering on Thursday & I’m very happy with it.

Peter Risdale was on Talksport this morning, he mentioned that PNE could finacially support the football team for this and next season under current restrictions.

Clearly not all clubs are in the same position

I don’t think PNE have actually bought anyone during this transfer window. Maybe they are one of very few that actually took what is happening in the world into consideration?

Even that is open to debate TBH 

Yeah, I was really aiming that at clubs that need players to just put a team out, not for the likes of us where we are possibly spending £25k p/w on the likes of Mawson’s wages. Maybe I should of put that bit a bit clearer?

I doubt the EFL / PFA have the money. I agree re the FA - they should step in but the PL is where the cash is. We are in unprecedented times - they should make a contribution to saving clubs going out of business - call it morality if you want

I think there were plans originally in place for this to happen (during the initial outbreak) but the Premier League wanted some agreements put in place & things never proceeded.

Now personally, I can understand that & if I was an organisation that was in a position to control such things, I would want some say on who gets the handouts & how that money should be spent. I don’t believe clubs should be given a handout to help with running costs to then turn around & suddenly spend money on new signings, so if someone takes a handout, it should be specified that it has to go on covering debts, wages & daily running costs but clubs that have been poorly run in the recent past aren’t entitled to the bail out either, so the likes of Charlton, Bolton, Portsmouth, Blackpool, Sunderland, Birmingham & I’m sure there are others (Derby & Sheffield Wednesday?) wouldn’t be entitled to handouts as the mess they find themselves in has nothing to do with the pandemic & everything to do with their owners (and previous owners) incompetence.

Also, the clubs that have seen fit to be able to spend to improve their squads while all this financial uncertainty has been going on, shouldn’t be entitled to anything, if they haven’t had the foresight to realise that something serious is happening with the financial aspect of the sport, then they don’t deserve the money & I’d include us within that! We have seen fit as an organisation to make staff members redundant yet we have still seen fit to spend money to improve our squad, we aren’t in such a bad financial position that we need the help that others clearly do & I’d also include the likes of Forest, Birmingham (again), Derby (again), Norwich, Watford, Stoke, QPR, Swansea, Cardiff, Brentford, Middlesborough, Bournemouth & Sheffield Wednesday (again) in that list just off the top of my head.

If clubs have signed free transfers & / or loans to help themselves out then that’s acceptable (in my opinion) but spending millions on new players & then expecting someone else to pay for them to carry on trading isn’t acceptable, 95% of us (at least) probably knew it was unlikely that supporters would be allowed back into stadiums & we’ve been warned about a second wave of the pandemic hitting since the original pandemic eased a little, so if clubs haven’t heeded that warning, that’s their own incompetence & they don’t deserve the help that could be on offer.

Michael Gove just announced at 08:30am on tuesday morning

Do you have a time machine, it’s only 8:20am now!

I believe I was there although at that time I was only 12, I definitely remember being there at quite a young age & it kicking off big time at Elm Park but can’t say for definite if it was 1984 or if this was a later visit to Elm Park?

I’m just watching the EFL show on Quest & the commentator for the Bolton game has just said that Bolton have only scored 4 away goals all season!!

If I’m not mistaken, half of Bolton’s away tally for this season were scored at the circus .

Test match cricket is so dull, can’t believe how anyone can watch this

What a great performance, now let’s get some consistency.

Gutted to see Barney gone in that manner.

Barney clearly gutted, asked to sum up his feelings & what’s going through his head & his reply was “nothing”!!

He doesn’t even feel like he achieved anything within the sport!! He’s clearly gutted that he’s finished his career in the first round of the worlds!!

Sad to see.

The thing that gets me, is there is talk about this test series not counting towards this new league format so it doesn't matter if we don't win or not and that we can experiment whilst out there

Try telling that to all those people who have spent a fortune following the team out in NZ

Glad I delayed my trip by a couple of weeks & missed the cricket & luckily none of the locals seem to of noticed enough to take the piss

Back to the usual England collapse!

You're watching the Frampton undercard

Takam currently on Sky

Yep, got it, I now have 2 pages with both events available to me.

Is it Cunningham v Conlan at the moment or have I got a different event on?

I’ve gone through cricfree.

Edit: Don’t worry, I now have both events on.

Something doesn’t quite seem right with AJ throughout the build-up to this fight, not so self assured, like he has something on his mind.

I wonder what Rob McCracken’s view is of AJ doing a lap of honour of Wembley & all this other bollocks before the fight is? I’m surprised he stands for it.

Absolute litter. Can't believe I rushed home from a marquee near Chepstow for that haha

They moved the Mem to Chepstow? In fairness, it shouldn’t take that long to pack that shithole up & move it a couple of miles hey....

I thought that shit dancing show was on BBC1!! So why have I paid Sky to watch it on Box Office?

Stop cuddling & hit each other for Christ sake!
