Canes may just be the real deal.
Barrett's penalty was class. Decision to take and then nailing it. Excellent game management.
After all that, they won the second half 10-8, but lost the penalty count about 13-2!

Yeah, I know what you mean.
If it was any other team I suspect I'd be spitting tacks. But as it's Norris and McLaren, I'm ok with it as it is common sense.
Drua need a lesson in how to take advantage of having 2 extra men on the field!
Having said that, Canes are going to struggle last 10 minutes as they've had to do so much defence.
@dogmeat said in EPL 2023/2024:
@MajorRage It's pointless except to the small clubs who if they get a televised home tie against a top PL side have the next 3-4 years covered financially
Agree entirely. However, that is a wider problem, not one that should be solved by what ball Ian Wright pulls out of the sack.
I've not watched the Drua yet this year. Are they always this heater skelter?
Crowd sounds absolutely crazy.
@dogmeat I agree with your general principle but not on this point. There are so many games, adding another when there is a recognized tie break method (which has decided all of the ultimate prizes), seems pointless to me.
Draws are very common in football (Sherlock Holmes here). If they were infrequent then I’d totally agree.
@DaGrubster yeah I can see why - clear as mud as usual!
Regardless point stands that it’s poor result for the EPL to have none in SF and hence no 5th spot, but to have 3 different recent winners shows the strength of the league.
I mean 3 diff teams win the big dog, the champs league
@DaGrubster bad season but remember ….
EPL has had 3 diff teams win it in the last 5 years. That’s pretty impressive.
Has any other league even come close to that?
"How was your " insert random thing you did here "? Let us know!"
Seriously fuck off. I parked my car, you delivered a parcel, I bought something off you. Not going to fill out a survey for every god damn thing I do.
Just awaiting for a message from my toilet to ask how it performed its task of flushing my shit away. (Admirably, as always).
If they don’t make Europe why not just take the deduction?
Chelsea are many things but fucked financially isn’t one of them.
I've been awaiting the racism jibs to pop up and they haven't which has surprised me pleasantly to the upside.
The optics were two black men were fighting to take the penalty, the white captain took the ball and gave it to the white guy. Pretty easy for the woke brigade to come down on!
Superb performance by Chelsea, best of the season. Palmer looking like the best buy Chelsea have had in years.
6 weeks to go until Edinburgh marathon. Gotta get that 4 hours.
Tracking is ok, could be better, a week in St Lucia didn't help.
However, broke my half marathon record over the week with a 1:42:37. I'll take that, anyway.
To be clear, the hypocrite here is Vorderman. It'll come out in the wash if Rayner is guilty or not & will hold a view on her then with how she deals with it.
@Dodge said in British Politics:
IMO she's only a hypocrite if she's actually intentionally dodged tax, and we don't know if she's paid the right amount, let alone if she's dodged some on purpose. Without sounding like a conspiracy theorist, i tend to think the only reason this is getting this level of continuous coverage in the Mail is because she's a working class female Labour MP.
I don't think the working class female has anything to do with it. She's a high profile Labour MP, so she's going to be under scrutiny from the press.
I also don't agree with you that she's a hateful person, I think she comes across pretty sane on any long form interview, Rest is Politics, Political Party etc, she's had a hell of a life and her journey is testament to a huge personality and force of will. The one off the cuff comment about Tory's being scum was a mistake IMO, but its hardly crime of the century.
Pretty much so agree, but do hold the scum comment to a slightly higher level of culpability than you.
@Dodge Yes, it is.
Vorderman would be going nuts if this was a Tory. She has proven this time and time again. Her Social media is a litany of accusations against Torys.
As it's not, she's doing whataboutery.
It's the literal definition of double standard.
Interesting?
It's a colossal double standard is what it is. Internet is littered with them at the moment.

And that, I think, is the premier league decided.
Agree. City will not lose from here.
Wow wow wow. Rogan's commentating on point!!

Nah that wasn't it. Was a longer article - perhaps a companion piece
I assume:
The war in Gaza is not about Netanyahu. It is not even about Israel in itself. It is about the future of the West.
I agree with this. But not in the way Jake thinks. Or at least is paid to promote.
My view is the West and Israel have destroyed themselves. The rest are just sitting back and watching as they do it.
Is it possible to summarize how you’ve reached your conclusion? And maybe provide a timeline for when the West’s self-destruction will be apparent to those of us not paying quite such close attention?
Countless other reasons, but thats a quick summary. Almost all friction inside countries at the moment is due to the above. And whilst those in power continue to pander to the people holding opposing views it will get considerably worse.
And then suddenly, the votes will go strongly against and the population and power holders will be confused as fuck. See Italy, Netherlands, Trump as the first 3 examples to go.
EDIT. Oh and lack of application on the issues actually affecting the real people of the country. Why are Trans < 0.01% of a country, but seemingly 50% of the debate?
