And the other Christian organisations don't have a bit of land and the odd painting in the attic?

But that's why Martin Luther went down B&Q for a hammer and a big ol' bag of nails. Cos they were taking the pi$$.

Lord of the rings. Was great to watch for first two hours but as the movie progressed and it got to thick end of 3 hours I thought how the hell are they going to end this. When it finished I left muttering that it was three hours of my life I wouldn’t get back. My son then told me it was a trilogy!...

This concept of randoms being filmed walking up to and playing pianos in train stations and shopping centres and wherever has been around on YouTube/TikTok for yonks, Channel 4 have just welded it to the soppy, mopey, not-reality reality shite of the Britain's Got Talent variant.

Netflix's approach is deliberately scatter gun. Most producers and developers have an idea of what they want to make, then they go and make it. Netflix green-light's almost anything, lets the market decide what's a hit, then milk it for a few years until the next hit comes along. Like, in no 'normal...

Disappointed with Elvis. Style over substance.

I think with Baz Luhrmann the style is the substance. And credit to him, his films definitely feel like you're on a substance.

Some amazing films mentioned on this thread. WTF is wrong with you all? Prometheus is the best Alien film after the original Alien. Amazing film. (Alien is better than Aliens). Covenant was rubbish though. Love Christopher Nolan, so expected a lot of Tenet. Was absolute bobbins. Watched it twice bec...

In terms of outright class it's Beyer for me. Cork and Cullen have been so important, but since Beyer came into the side as a starter we've been ruthless. Seems really harsh on Charlie Taylor to say that because he's been almost perfect when he's been asked to play CB, looks every bit the centre hal...

Spiral

Perspective: Leon Cort at about age 30 cost us £1.5m THIRTEEN YEARS AGO!!! In today's money that's like handing over £10m for a washed up donkey people only remember for being rubbish. Beyer has full Germany international mainstay potential.

Spiral

He'll be worth £50m in two-years time.

Spiral

I'm erect.

Spiral

I think perhaps missing the 1st choice centre half's limits the ability to play out from the.back more than any other reason That's a valid point, and I reckon Beyer is the best CB in the division, but it must be said we have played out from the back other times this season when it suited us with T...

Exactly that, who are you going to put your £100 bet on next season?

Ha, look at you assuming I've got £100 to gamble away! I turn my TV up and down by literally walking up to it and pressing the buttons on it like it's 1992 because my remote is fkd.

B365 pay out on season bets if a team takes a 10 point lead.
In this case it’s nothing to do with PR - its part of the bet offer. Similar to the 2 goal lead payout they offer on matches. An incentive for people to use b365 rather than other firms.

That makes sense, cheers.

After the Blackpool game early in the season Kompany went back to basics to protect Muric after some obvious errors, and it settled him down a lot. There was a slight shift in tactics to get through the following game/games to allow Muric to find the confidence that comes with a few quiet games as a...

They do an early payout if you're far enough ahead. Can obviously backfire but it's highly unlikely.

What does the betting firm stand to gain from doing it? Is it just PR, keeping the customers sweet and the like?

Bet365 paid out today on us being champions.

As someone who doesn't gamble could you explain like I'm an idiot why they do that? Is it so other people don't pile even more money on or something?

I said before this run of games that 12 points would've been a very respectable return.

We aren't going for respectability, we're going for audacity!!!

Spiral

As of today, 72pts on the board, 35 needed to beat the record, 42 available. Those two dropped against Watford mean we're down to 7 points we can afford to drop. So fourteen games left where we can lose one, draw two, win the rest. Eleven wins, two draws, one defeat. This is doable. Even if we mess ...

VAR itself is fine the problem with it is how it is implemented we have to be prepared to use if for JUST clear and obvious errors and I’m not sure a toe nail offside is clear and obvious. The other issue is the people running it and how it is still prone to human error because of them people. Now ...

Spiral

I do honestly believe that things might improve under Webb He can only affect VAR at the level of protocol, where there's only limited scope for improvement, though perhaps he might foster a greater sense of responsibility and accountability as opposed to the circling of the wagons we're used to se...

Microchip onside, foot offside = the player is offside. Unless you've got military technology which might not even exist, or a 3D laser imaging of the game (the investment required to do this would be just ridiculous, assuming it's even feasible), more technology achieves nothing.

Spiral

VAR is a farce, the game needs rid of it altogether. "Clear and obvious" is a matter of interpretation. There's no definable point at which a clear error becomes an unclear error. In fact, even to determine whether a refereeing error was a clear one or not would require a deferral to VAR, at which p...

Whole first half was poor, not just Muric. Sloppy as we've been all season.

No idea why anyone sane would come to that conclusion and it’s not because of a bad game IN MY OPINION it’s because he’s too kamikaze for my liking.

Settle down … a manager would always defend his players publicly .. can’t you contemplate that Muric made a howler and was substituted as a possibility?

Folk are getting on your case because you appear to want him firing into the sun for a bad game.

Apparently on Sky Kompany said the sub was due to "tactical details". So, so far we've got ill, injured and tactical, three different explanations for the sub, two of which are straight from Kompany's mouth, which basically points to Kompany doing a nudge and a wink, not wanting to insult anyone's i...

He honestly didn't look injured. There were no collisions or exertions that looked to cause injury. He just looked like his head wasn't in the right place from kickoff. He'll move on from it like he did after Blackpool and Sheffield where he was poor.

Lunatic. I love it, but he's a lunatic. It's hilarious. It's also a problem, but it's hilarious, and he's a lunatic, and I still love it.

Like the WBA manager said , it is like playing against 11 outfield players. Totally.

I don't know if I'm just imagining or misremembering this, but it feels as though the fullbacks were making tonnes of vertical runs (forward and back) in the first few weeks of the season with not so much horizontal movement, and when you look at the positions Roberts and Maatsen are taking up these...

That pass five minutes in, 90 degree pass on the ground, made forward, drilled with power, absolutely inch perfect to Cullen (I think) while there's a PNE forward literally trying to tackle him and he's using his shoulder to block the tackle.

Interesting also to contrast the pace of play in the Watford/Luton/early season games with the Norwich game the other day, where we played like every player had done a gram a minute before kickoff. It's the aggression we've perfected as much as anything.

It's notable that we signed Zaroury and Beyer about a fortnight after the game this thread was started about (Watford), and Tella had been signed just the day before, I think.
