Johnson is always like that when he comes on. He's a better starter and he should have been today up against Morsy. Rothwell can leave as far as I am concerned. Pointless player with no end product at all.

Disgusting game Tepid and weak performance. Bennett is no left back. Rothwell is useless. Gallagher likewise

We look sluggish. Rothwell flattering to deceive, as usual. Should have been Johnson.

I would have Johnson in for his combativeness and experience in a scrap. With 5 subs we can easily get Holtby and Downing on later in the game. Is JRC definitely out??

Mmm... maybe Downing so, just ahead of Bennett. I think it will be Bennett if the other 3 aren't available though

Walton Nyambe Tosin Lenihan JRC(if he is fit, otherwise Bell or Williams) Evans Johnson Travis Brereton Armstrong Gallagher We need a muscular and physical performance against these animals. Hopefully we avoid injuries.

Thinking about it though, you would imagine there was peer pressure to do that dick flip nonsense with Ryan from the locker room. Especially if you were young and new to the business. You get put in a match with him and what do you say? Not much I would imagine, you would just go along with it. A lot of fans taking the moral high ground now, didn't see any issue with that. Banks and Jordan Devlin have been suspended. To be honest I would be surprised if Devlin did anything that bad, but time will tell again.

Well to be fair his entire "gimmick" was getting people to touch his dick. I never got him or that to be honest. Not only was it allowed though, it was celebrated and pointed to as an example of wrestling being "fun". As for Gallagher, well time will tell but I always think that when a company releases a talent before due process, they are probably happy enough to be given the opportunity to do so. They generally wouldn't deal with a main eventer in the same manner. It's interesting though, a similar movement is happening over here with comedians. Same issue though insofar as the legitimate accusations are being mixed up with jilted and disgruntled exes looking to take people down.

At this stage though, I don't think companies need much encouragement to fire talent. All about balancing the books. Maybe there is more evidence than there is publicly, I would hope so, but it's still the court of public opinion and not an actual court. The Joey Ryan stuff is very confusing to me, is he not like, gay?

It's all allegations at this point though, isn't it? Of those you mention above, who has been accused of rape? Ryan, lewd behaviour and sounds bad, but I haven't seen rape mentioned. David Starr, bad behavior too, the accuser mentioned "grey rape", is that an actual thing now? It goes on then kind of similar with the others. Some even being accused by anonymous accounts and this been held up as fact. Maybe I have missed some of the more clear cut accusations/evidence. Maybe some of them are pieces of shit, I just find this anonymous accusations and then immediate repercussions to be a fairly dangerous path. Especially with "famous people" like wrestlers. There are a lot of crazy fans out there. Or you could just have an ex who was hurt and decides to do this. I dunno, it just doesn't sit well with me. It's the climate we are in though.

Eugh...... Creepy Cornettes. I wonder will there be as much about this seeing as it sounds like it was boys and men who were abused.

Ya, some of them are basically "wrestler X was mean to me once" with comments underneath saying to fire them. Would be gas if Cornette gets sucked(ahem) right into this as well

What is going on currently with the wrestling "metoo" doesn't sit well with me. A lot of the stuff is legitimate, but not all of it is and people are being cancelled regardless. Is there such a thing as due process anymore?

I read we were quoted £10 million for Jones, but that was during a ridiculous time at the club, so who knows. He probably didn't have an agent who was in on the scam.

David...I knew that didn't look right lol

Speaking of potential. Just looked up a bit about that Austin Theory. Firstly, handsome dude and I'm not into dudes. Secondly he was won some amount of championships so far at 22. 22...my god imagine being that young and getting that push in WWE. Vinny MC must like what he sees.

Good idea for a thread! I think David Thompson and Steven Warnock were really good for us. Not sure if underrated per se, but Jermaine Jones was unbelievable really. Jeff Kenna. Solid as can be, no frills, no drama.

Saturday would have been our last game V Luton. Holtby is fit again going off Instagram. Him and Dack back if things do get going.....

Indeed I remember the guy ,whats his name, used to tag team with Big Cass? A little kind of guido, a character though and good on the mike. He had a rape accusation, which proved false and he was fired out the door, although apparently he was a pain backstage, but hard to know if that is true. On Velveteen, I mean to look at it as Devils advocate, if he didn't know what age the person was,it gets tricky. I mean he is only 24, a minor there, what are we talking-17? I was getting into over 23 bars at 17. You could very easily get caught there. It's all the one anyway now really, cos this stuff sticks and unless you are megastar, you ain't getting a by from Vinny Mc.

Ya, I liked his character , from what I had seen

Sound effects and music are key aspects of a game in my book. Bloodborne is so creepy. Red dead is perfectly pitched, but special mention of my recently played games goes to Persona 5. I have definitely hummed some of them the following day at work. I'm a shapeshifter....

He's screwed you would imagine. Vince has fired guys for less and under the current climate, I don't think he will need much encouragement. What in gods name was he thinking

100% that semi final against Chelsea. That Hughes team could have won a major trophy.

One of my favourites. I actually thought season 4 was where it peaked. I started on season 2, before watching 1 after I had finished the others. Probably a good way to do it as 1 is a bit ropey.

My missus sometimes likes watching me play games. Something like Red dead, Uncharted or the Witcher. She liked Bloodborne up until she witnessed me stab a mutant pig in the ass(those who have played will know what I mean). I mean there wasn't much I could say. She's big into football(Ronaldo) ,but watches any game that's on. She's polish so we have had to chance to watch Ireland v Poland a good few times in the last few years. With them coming out on top most of the time,unfortunately. She didn't take too kindly to me calling them diving bastards, which they are. She tried Wrestling and noticed that "this is an improvised performance, very impressive". Just the most recent AEWs and there were a few bad weeks before maybe the last 2 weeks, so she lost interest. Can't blame her. Just raging she missed the last two as they were better!
