Premier League 2024-2025

I thought that was Steve Davis…Gary Player was a master with an Iron but terrible at snooker.

“The saying “The more I practice, the luckier I get” is often attributed to various figures, but one of the most famous attributions is to legendary golfer Gary Player in 2002”

Yeah, defo stole it from Steve Davis. He was saying that in the ‘80’s :wink:

@AndyBain I watched NUFC v Bromley today, expecting your mob to win by at least 4-1. By that measure, the Ravens did well against a scary-good Newcastle.

I’m not a Bromley fan, although I did go to school in the borough. But they’ve come so far since this brilliant book (often dubbed the non-league Fever Pitch).

I’m biased because the author, Dave Roberts, was my best mate from the age of 13. Sadly, Dave didn’t live long enough to enjoy Bromley’s current golden age. He would have been so proud.

It was quite a routine win in the end @bhoyo Bromley had 2 good chances. One was the goal, and then they went very close shortly afterwards. If they’d have gone 2 up, then I would have got a bit nervous.

The Bromley fans were great. I had a chat with some in the pub who’d had a great night out in the Toon on Saturday night. The team did them proud, and they were certainly not disgraced. I hope that they all got home safely and enjoyed their visit to Newcastle :black_heart::white_heart:

Player popularised it in the 1960s but its origins go back to at least the early 1900s…:grinning:

Loved Harry Maguire shouting ‘Cheating Sh*thouse’ at Kai Havertz

Hi Bob, great second half, but penalties are a lottery

Mind you that will mean less matches and that may be a good thing later on in the season

Glad to see you’re still with us Bob. Thought you’d gone MIA after yesterday’s performance

We need a striker!!! Same old story 10, 20, 30 shots against a low block team and we can’t score read my posts above.

However the mighty Yanited reduced to 5 at the back low block merchants is great to see.

What happened to Amorimball 3 at the back forever?

Down to 10 men and desperate for an away draw. Where did they get that idea from? Reminds me of…

It’s funny, when I read the results I only see two numbers. No tactics mentioned.

Criticising the ref, VAR, the opposition… the type of ball used… yeah…ok.

Arteta is to blame for not buying a proper striker in the summer.

Havertz is not the answer. However, I’ve just been reading about the level of online abuse him and his wife have been getting. It’s shocking. What on earth is wrong with some people these days…

Paint it any way you want you came to defend and if that is what you want for a Man U v Arsenal FA cup tie then well done
