Monty Burns Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 was good that. Sam is one of those people you hear or see or read about at the club that you hear/see/read and just know they will be there for about three years then a decade later they will be a success somewhere. can l ask, as you got there just after lunch, do you know what the players do after lunch? do they train again? do they have video analysis etc or do they go home? does the club sometimes give them a light lunch and then go for another full training session? looking forward to wednesdays Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basilrobbie Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Those two upcoming home games really are very important, aren't they? because I don't see you getting a lot from Solihull, Boreham Wood and two games with Notts County. I was interested in the comments about the WC and England. I see the latter as a microcosm of the former, to be honest ; overhyped and not nearly as good as they are made out to be. They should win the group and get a reasonable draw in the last 16, but if they do meet France in the quarters I think that will be that. On Foden - I think Southgate is planning for the possibility of seven games and he possibly sees the lad as a big asset for the knockout stage. I don't think the tournament has been great though. I dutifully put games on to watch, and often find myself reading the newspaper after twenty minutes or so. I expect it to be won by one of the most average Brazil teams I have ever seen, simply because they are a bit less average than the sea of mediocrity around them.

But the quality was poor and the defending was shocking. Ditto the Ghana game. These tournaments always improve once survival is on the line. I just don't know why we have to waste a week before it happens. They are planning to have 48 teams next time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's being hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico. I was surprised to read the other day that FIFA have elected to expand to 48 teams but haven't actually agreed a format yet. The two favourites are either : twelve groups of four ; or sixteen groups of three (with two going through) The first of these means that eight third placed teams would go through (so you would play seventy two games to get rid of just sixteen teams). The second looks a lot like the format they used in the second phase in 1982 (I think, may have been 1986). I don't think that made for sparking entertainment, from memory. Both these formats mean an extra knockout round of thirty two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for changes to make things better but going to 48 teams is a bad call as was going to 24 teams for the Euros it's somewhat makes the opening rounds of fixtures sterile.

simplythemostimportantkick Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Probably get slaughtered but oh well. I love the podcast. It’s great. However, the phone in doesn’t work for me. It’s pretty much the same people talking the same bollox every week. A kid who should be in bed coming on every week And why do you insist on giving that fantasist Ibby a platform ? Is it out of pity since come fly with me was cancelled ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimeblue Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 It'd be decent with some new callers. Agreed that it's too samey and although the young lad is enthusiastic, a weekly spot isn't ideal. An upturn in results would see it improve with something to talk about. It's a reflection of what's on the pitch at the moment. Saying the same things week in week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 its not on this week, it's the Q&A w Rhino so a two week gap between episodes and hopefully a corner turned could see a freshening of their potential pool. the way you need to contact them might not help, altho that could just be my inner luddite getting all opposed to streamyards and microphones!! l'm new to it so l like it, especially the Wheel of Wonder .

I get that. But just like most people that do phone in I have nothing to say either. I’ll just stick to the podcasts. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
