  1. He's apparently down to 221 pounds, somebody needs to get him to waffle house immediately to get that extra thiccness back. Genuine question, has Alex Smith played a season with a mediocre RB? it's not a knock against him but he's done well to have played with Frank Gore, Jamaal Charles, Kareem Hunt throughout his career.
  2. Can't wait for a season of Alex Smith check downs and R Kelley trundling for 2 yards.
  3. How many rounds are we doing for this draft?
  4. P&B's reaction when Northfield posts literally anything
  5. Don’t think I’d know what I’d do if Laura and Paul wins here. Would be the greatest shock in tv history.
  6. Can’t trust this fucking country to vote for anything.
  7. Who the hell keeps voting for Paul and Laura ffs.
  8. Imagine going on love island and spending 6 weeks getting repeatedly cucked and mugged off before finally hitting rock bottom by getting obliterated by a posh middle aged woman. The least he deserves.
  9. With the caution being that I’ve only really seen the video of the Stranraer game. Last season partly why we struggled at home was because we couldn’t break teams down when they had men behind the ball. In the league Cup we failed to beat Albion Rovers and East Kilbride in normal time, along with the mountain of home 0-0s In the league. Some people like to say that the League Cup is glorified friendlies but last season it certainly highlighted a recurring theme last year. So whilst I’m not going to make any rash claim because it is still two games against diddies , it’s encouraging that we have been able to overcome a deficit against Stranraer and to get the breakthrough after being on top against Clyde.
  10. I mean I've disliked Dr Alex for a good while now but considering how much he was on his high horse about Ellie losing interest as soon as she was recoupled to doing the exact same thing. Considering he's probably broken the record for getting cucked on a single TV show it was ill advised to think that he's suddenly turned into Adam (Who would have been all over Alexandra, RIP Big Man). Old Laura fancying Eamonn Holmes though
  11. I'm getting proper spursy vibes off Doctor Alex, even when someone is actually interested in him despite his awful chat he still manages to f**k it.
  12. Thought it was a notable aside from all this chat about the defence but Dykes has now scored 5 in his last 4 competitive games for Queens. Considering his poor return in front of goal was his main criticism it would certainly go a long way to proving a lot of people wrong.
  13. I haven't had the chance to watch Saturday's game yet so can't comment on that but it's not just a personnel thing that causes it's a variety of things. Goalkeeper - Either Alan Martin is rooted to where he is because he can't physically move or Leighfield is too short to come for a cross. The inconsistency probably doesn't help as i'd imagine they'd rather have Martin as they'll naturally have more faith in him as first choice compared to Leighfield. Defence - How often does the defence end up camped in their box late on and don't push up? I don't know if it's a fitness thing (Likely seeing as they are low level full time players in a small squad), or just laziness but you have to play with some intensity to do your job which is probably more annoying. Also just basic marking at times is deeply frustrating, Darren Brownlie has played a lot of football at a young age so frankly he should be able to communicate better rather than being the common denominator in the decline of a solid defence over the last 3 years. but you can say the same of almost all of the defence. Fortunately Shaun Rooney is gone so we'll concede a million less fouls from hands on back now, (Thank god the SPFL is too skint for VAR). Crosses coming in, firstly playing strikers out wide and expecting them to track back is asking for trouble, almost all of Dyke's bad performances came when he was on the wing, but as has been mentioned Stirling doesn't like to do it, neither did Dom Thomas. The only one i thought that did a good job of it was Murray but he is pretty limited at the whole going forwards thing. Mercer isn't particularly mobile or great going forward though so when he had bad days, it was a bloody mess. When you added in John Rankin being so far behind the play that he was in a Dundee United shirt there wasn't much protection for the full backs. Size matters - As mentioned Leighfield is rather short for a keeper, Marshall, and Mercer aren't big, Brownlie and Fordyce aren't huge centre halves, there wasn't a particularly strong dominant midfielder either. As mental as it sounds, big people tend to be better in the air (Not a guarantee see, Cameron, Kyle).
  14. It’s a signing to cover for Brownlie whilst he’s out I’d imagine. Apparently Semple was pushing for the first team squad until he had a serious injury last year. Intriguing signing imo
  15. Looking at Idris's boxing record, Jack surely can't be much worse than the two jabroni's he's fought in his brief career. How can you go 0-28 ffs. http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/822058
  16. Yeah I got exactly the same as SLJ there
  17. I can't seem to get my email to link to my team. Which is strange seeing as I got the email earlier.
  18. Good to have two more nonentities out with the additional scenes of Samira in tears. Strong elimination.
  19. The main theme of this years Love Island is to not settle for the first girl you come in. Wes could have been miserable with Laura but took a chance, almost backfired but won out through sheer grafting and is now the alpha male in the Villa piping the biggest ride in there. Josh could have stuck with Georgia but he went with what was right instead of what was safe to do. Makes me more raging that Chris stuck with that boot Olivia last year.
  20. Sums up Grace's time in the villa when her attempts to crack on with Mark and they pan to the lads making fun of them.
