Re: thoughts on Ezgjan Alioski impending move Galatasary
When Kewell went I was really astounded as he was involved, but if Alioski goes to me it is different. He has to think of his career and what is best for him. Whilst he has been offered a new contract here, he probably won't have a big role, and his stock value will be at it's highest and if he doe...

Re: Peter Lorimer RIP
RIP Peter. I watched the videos of all his great goals and that great team literally hundreds of times as a kid and often tried to copy the moves I'd seen him do when I played. Genuine legend.

Re: International call ups 2021
Ordinarily Bamford not getting a call up wouldn't be too much of a shocker because even though he's exceeded expectations and scored a few brilliant goals this year, you still wouldn't really call him international quality. But then you see that Ollie Watkins has been called up and you think 'What's...

Re: This documentary
That's a nice post Frankie and of course all the things you've said are things to be aspired to, but I can't help thinking that the responsibility for a lot of it lies with the individual. The government can't 'ensure' that 'everyone' has a good quality of life because not everyone makes the right d...

Re: Coronavirus
We’re still having people park opposite us & visiting friends down the road, the friends in question are teachers. Yes the same people who don’t want to go back to work due to COVID, makes you wonder don’t it :roll: OK, I'll bite. I'm a teacher and, like every other teacher I know, I can't wait...

Re: Peter Lorimer
I wasn't a Leeds fan until 1990 so a bit after his time but watched videos on leeds from 60's-80's like 500 times on VHS as a kid my dad had bought me and he and Eddie Gray were my favourite players. I was in awe of those players and as I watched even for the 499th time I always hoped they would ge...

Re: Worth watching on telly
Watched Ms Baccarin years ago in "V" Good enough reason for me to watch :thumbup: I first saw her in Firefly. I wish she'd be allowed to do something other than just "be the wife". She showed in that scifi show that she could play something with a bit more range, but all she eve...

Re: 2020-21 Transfer Rumours and Squad Discussions
He looks to me like a player who knows he isn't quite up to it physically and that affects his confidence. He's quite quick and he's quite a clever player, but he's a bit weak and not particularly brave or robust, which, unless you're exceptionally good, you need. Compare his physicality with that o...

Re: Phrases or words slipping out of common parlance
I've definitely heard 'lakin' for playing. I feel as though it's an East Yorkshire thing - when I used to go to my nana's caravan in Withernsea in the late 80s the kids there used to say it. There's a heavy Norse influence on place names (anywhere ending in 'by' e.g. Selby) over that way, so you cou...

Re: Worth watching on telly
His early films are excellent and he can be a surprisingly subtle actor. There were moments in BHC and 48 Hours when he was serious and I always wondered what he would've been like in a straight role. His first standup film, Delirious, remains the funniest I have ever seen. Raw was okay, but that d...
