But he sometimes does. In that Bournemouth thrashing the other day, he was clearly there for a tap in if that Dalot squared it, but instead he ended up smashing it into the side netting from a daft angle. There was a point in the rags game last night where he was free in the box and one of their players didn't bother looking.

I don't think he's going to get anyone 25 league goals a season, but I also think the shite around him aren't doing him any favours either. I think he would still do better in a different side.

They're just a poor team, which is why they have a negative goal difference. The rat doesn't have an assist at old scaffold all season, he's meant to be their playmaker, so it's hardly a team where a young striker is going to have much success.

There's loads of lads playing championship level football who can run around a lot. Probably his level

But everyone said this before he even arrived. He scored 9 goals last season. Nothing wrong with that, he's only a young player. But he's not failing to score because he's playing in a shit team, he's not scoring because he's not a top striker. There are 11 players playing for teams below the rags that have managed 6 goals or more. Nicholas Jackson is a young player in a new league, and he's managed 6 for an awful team. Playing in a shit team isn't an excuse for scoring zero goals.

Correct , the BBC , independent public funded national broadcaster who give every team in the country a fair crack of the whip , you wouldnt see them showing the same club in every round of the FA Cup , or deleting every negative comment about the Rags and Dipers on the HYS comments on articles.
Ive already defunded the BBC i havent paid for a licence for 20 years if everybody did the same it would perhaps have to earn its money by providing a subscription service , at least the Rags & Dippers would then have to pay for the brown nosing they recieve.

What happened to following the lowest ranked club until they were knocked out?

First job today , a red i kinda know. He went straight into “glazers fault” spiel. I said theyve spent a billion £ on players what more do you want? Spend £2b?

There was a pause before he replied , yes.

And that's the crux isnt it. They loved it when they outspent everyone, stole all their rivals best players, were the big boys, had a shitty knickered bully in charge and gill bullying the fa.

Ah well.

And FFP didn’t exist, I wonder why it came about?

Correct. Over 3 decades ago I decided to defund the Biased Broadcasting Corporation. No company who blow smoke up utds arse are taking a stealth tax off me. They can Fuck Off.
Just another corporation rinsing the public ....because they can.
 
One to bore your friends with down the Dog & Trumpet tonight; I just read that (apparently) "TWGC"™ have, during the course of this season, lost one more game and conceded one more goal than Valencia did under Gary Chuckle.


No need to thank me; I'm just glad to be of service to you fine folk. Well; most of you, anyway.

I watched em get battered Saturday in the pub . There were 4 plastic gobby rags in and non were watching. I yook great delight in letting them know every time Bournemouth scored. There was barely a murmur from any of them. Broken.
