  1. Amazing night, a thoroughly deserved win. To a man the Everton players wanted it more. When the second went in, I knew we'd win. Liverpool just didn't look at it - there aren't excuses for that, not that I'm surprised to see the usual in here about fitness or tiredness. Van Dijk was absolutely rinsed all night long by Calvert-Lewin, and Nunez and Salah were very wasteful up front. It doesn't get much sweeter than winning the derby, to essentially secure safety, and end Liverpool's title challenge in the same breath.
  2. I'm sorry to keep harping on about this, but also I'm not. Doncaster have now equalled their club record of 10 wins in a row, set in 1947, with a 4-1 win at Colchester tonight. That's also three straight games scoring 4 goals. It means that we are now 5th and in need of only a point at Gillingham on Saturday to confirm a Play Off place. All for a team who were 20th at the start of last month. I've never known anything like it.
  3. Finished it just now, I loved it. It got better as it went along and by the end I was so on board with basically all of it. I can't wait for season 2.
  4. Is this news? Who is Ross A ftbl, with his engagement level of 1 repost in nearly two hours?
  5. These decisions aren't even in the top 5 of big fuck ups by officials this season, this is so embarrassing. Clubs should not be allowed to hire their own referees to essentially whinge about decisions. It's farcical, and entirely down to the way elite football has embraced VAR and its many, many flaws.
  6. The National League have made a complete pig's ear of this. It has taken them three statements to confirm that in fact, Solihull will not get a bye and will instead face Halifax in an Eliminator, then Altrincham get the bye but have to go to Bromley in the semis instead. Plenty of fans from several clubs involved pissed off, not least because games and days have changed at no notice.
  7. Absolutely gutted for Ben Sheaf, he's a lovely lad. VAR also...takes the fun right out of this sport.
  8. The fans love him, and never wavered during our very bad form earlier in the season. Things have gotten so bad over the past few seasons that he was welcomed back with open arms. Things he said before coming back and when he did suggested he had reflected on the manner of leaving us in the lurch. Can you trust him not to do it again? I don't trust any manager or player not to personally, but that's me.
  9. Seems a potentially knee-jerk idea in response to the fact that the current order has an even split of 5 teams much stronger than the other 5, which just so happens to be the line between the points finishing positions and below. Frankly, three teams have gotten so far in without points this season because all three have huge issues - Sauber can't do proper pitstops, Williams don't have enough car parts and keep crashing, and Alpine have built a glorified tractor.
  10. I cannot believe Doncaster Rovers. 2-0 down at half time in front of 10k at home, came back to win 4-2 late on against Play-Off rivals Barrow and make it nine wins in a row. It's now completely in our hands going into the last day, never known anything like it.
  11. Fernando cost himself and Sainz there to let Perez into third. This is a good track, it should be a fun race...behind Verstappen anyway.
  12. He is a gimp, always has been, so he's in good company.
  13. I'm so glad I don't work Fridays - what a chaotic, amazing Sprint Quali session. There's nothing better than when it starts raining mid-qualifying. Just a shame the Sprint race is at 4am UK time.
  14. Not even consulting the vast majority of clubs in the competition is ridiculous, definitely. I also saw that while the 5th Round is back to a weekend slot, the 4th Round is being stretched out until Wednesday from the weekend presumably to suit TV. So in effect nothing changes with that stupidity.
  15. Nah I think it's just that Belichick is joining McAfee's own show for his Draft coverage.
  16. Replays are out of date, I'm glad they're gone. And I'm glad the 5th Round is back on the weekend too. The timing of the final seems crap but otherwise, It's positive steps in my opinion.
  17. He knows he's the #1 pick. Everyone in the world knows. All he can do by throwing at the Combine or anything else is reduce his stock. He knows his worth, basically. Marvin Harrison has been similar this year. It's not a bad thing in my opinion, on its own, and it doesn't reflect on their character either. The ownership stake isn't allowed anyway, and it sounded like his dad was pushing that.
  18. Stevenage will probably appoint another cretin like Graham Westley again to be fair. Evans is an atrocious bloke but you can't argue with his results, sadly. Worked wonders at Stevenage and did very, very well with Rotherham last time around too.
  19. I'm only 2.5 episodes in so far but I agree, as a seasoned Fallout player, the it is properly chucking "Fallout game stuff" at you. It's a nice problem to have, I feel bad being irked at all by it because usually an adaptation doesn't take enough from its source and people get upset about that, but so far this show feels like it is going out of its way to say "Look, it's this thing from the games you recognise!" If you've not played the game, it's undoubtedly a positive because it is good world-building and helps the atmosphere. If you've played the games, it's nice to see the easter eggs...but it has felt a bit overdone to me in the limited time I've watched. All that said, I am enjoying it and hope it pulls me in more as I go through it. Two of the three main characters have really intrigued me so far.
  20. I'm so glad they're making a TV show about that 90s Man Utd team, we simply don't hear enough about or from them these days.
  21. Can only hope this kicks the players up the arse and they realise they simply have to win the games against Forest, Sheff Utd and Luton to stay up.
  22. It's been an enthralling weekend but it looks like Amen Corner has been decisive in The Masters. As all around have lost their heads, Scottie Scheffler kept his and surely is going to win his second Green Jacket now.
  23. So, how about that NFL Draft huh?
  24. I do think it'll be harder because there are bigger teams with big budgets at that level that there simply aren't in League Two, but they're already paying players wages comparable with that level and I don't think it'll take them long to compete for a place in the Championship at all, thankfully.
