The Boozer / Re: Jokes so bad they're punny

« Last post by Kenny's Jacket on Today at 11:14:58 am »

lf and Sid, both in their nineties, used to meet every morning at the park to talk about old times and their shared passion for cricket.
“D’you think they play cricket in Heaven?” asked Alf.
“Dunno” said Sid, “but I tell you what, the first of us that gets there should let the other one know.”

A few months later and Alf sadly passes away
Sid carried on going to the park and one day he heard a voice,
“Helloooooo Sid”
“Who’s that?”
“It’s Alf. You can’t see me Sid, but I can see you.”
Excited, Sid asks if they play cricket in heaven

“Well I’ve got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we do play cricket in Heaven. The bad news is that you are in the first eleven tomorrow.”

This for me seems key.

When he had a good run with Mo he was either assisting Mo, or Mo him, I think this was before AFCON (please someone correct me if I am wrong)

I think a strike partner who is also fit often would be ideal, Jota would be the dream but he is a bit of an injury concern.

EDIT: Just to be clear I absolutely believe this guy has a high ceiling and selling him now would be a big error.

It was Nunez assisting Salah.

They have combined for 12 goals at Liverpool and Nunez has provided 10 of those assists and Salah only two.

That article is unbelievable tripe. Suggesting Nunez just played well against Liverpool whilst Nkunku had come off an unbelievable  season ( they both had) is misleading enough.
But telling the lie that he missed a string of chances in the Merseyside Derby is what renders it utter garbage. Unless a string equals one

So, you're suggesting Paul Joyce is making things up?

If I put aside how irritating Captain Black is, I think it will be a sad day for football when the 115* 'win' the title at their expense. They've built a strong side who are lasting the pace. For all the gripes about the equally irritating play acting, they're still a proper football club that's going to have a great season yet be cheated out of their reward.

I really don't care how hard they'd celebrate. If they win it, they'd deserve it. I certainly wouldn't begrudge them.

Looking at the bigger picture, another genuine club being cheated does see more than one fanbase (ours) seething over the cheating by the 115*. That might slightly increase the leverage of those of us kicking back against the rampant cheating going on, as yet unaddressed.

That's absolutely right. The only thing I'd add is that the goalie had one thing on his mind through all of this - from the moment he caught the ball and dropped to the ground. Waste Time. Waste Time. Waste Time.

Maybe we need to find him a strike partner?

I think that chance will hang over him for a long, long time unfortunately. All the excuses can be made but it was a huge chance where he had time and a massive area of the goal to hit, on his strongest foot and really close to the goal. It absolutely has to be a goal.

For the fan base that will be one they remember for a long time.

That chance was rated at 0.4xG. So a forward is on average likely to miss it 1.5 times more often than score it. That is why saying he has to score it is nonsense.

I see that Forest missed a few sitters before City scored. It reminds me of Iheanacho in 2019 before Kompany scored that rocket. It always happens. Always. They're winning every single game.

The problem with Jota and Nunez regardless of how xG-savvy you can be is that you can see with your fucking eyes who has better technique and who can strike a ball more cleanly therefore is the far better finisher lol.

Did you have your eyes shut when Jota went 32 games without scoring?

Ironically one of Nunez's issues this season has been hitting the ball too cleanly. If you ask me who can hit the ball with more power then I would say Nunez. If you want an example then Nunez's ridiculous strike away at Bournemouth is a good one.

For me Jota is very good at getting shots on target and is also a master of deceiving a keeper with a scuffed shot.
