Live long and propser
Watts and Benge brought up something about Ben White the other day that hadn't occurred to me before.
A lot is being made of White's actions when we have corners, with some commentators (looking at you Graeme Souness, you miserable wanker!) and journalists really grinding the axe about how Ben is egregiously cheating and needs to be punished for it harshly. Yet these same axe-grinders apparently think spurs' keeper coming up and harassing David Raya for their final corner is totally fine.
Watts and Benge think that this crusade against Ben stems largely from bitterness about him saying he doesn't want to play for his country. With these critics either being offended as Englishmen, or feeling this is some permanent, overwhelming stain on his character.
I think Watts and Benge are right - White's international decision has hurt their tender fee-fees. But I think plain old jealousy for his decision about England has also been playing a major factor in their rants.
Either way, they can all go screw themselves.
We have been screwed on so many corner kicks where opposing players have messed with our keeper and every time I have wished that we would just start doing it to other teams if that's legal now. Finally we have and now the rest of the league gets to feel the way we felt.
Too true! I still remember all the fuckery that opposition players used to do on Lehmann on corners to try to get him to react and get a card. Stamping on his feet was a big one. Those bastards always seemed to get away with it.
Watching that Nelson Bournemouth Fast Forward video from last season, I have to say last season was more emotionally satisfying than this one lol. But this season definitely feels more like winning!
as long as we get over the line - yes
Also, back to back promotions from Ipswich Town. Damn.
Why do we even bother lol ffs, city are just gonna win it aren't they
Korean guy incoming, don't you worry
That's why I've continued with the Star Wars marathon instead
I'm continuing through Doctor Who. Voyage of the Damned. Just one episode though, before I get back to homework lol
For fuck's sake WHERE IS THE KOREAN GUY
If Forest go down, Morgan Gibbs White will be up for grabs.
