In all fairness, I only know them as subs mainly because of Subway. Before that, I probably would have considered it a roll.

But I am Australian

He was a tough one to beat. In my opinion, almost everything was on point during his run of the doctor. If I had to choose a point when it peaked it would probably be maybe his last 1 or 2 seasons. Matt Smith is still really good, i think the production value is probably a bit better, feels a little grittier and there are great stories and story arcs, but (and I will preface this is how I felt) the show doesn’t get any better after Smith, but eventually starts to dip.

Agreed

This is something I’ve wanted for a while, but we’ve dropped out of cups so early and been in league positions where Arteta has erred on the side of caution.

Well earned! I was sceptical and worried about him joining us, along with Havertz after Willian’s tumultuous time here.

But, just comes to show how little I know and how much of a shambles Chelsea are in. Always glad to be proved wrong in my assumptions and the amount they’ve both contributed can’t be understated

I read MLS are introducing new rules next season and I think these are some good changes worth implementing:

Off-field treatment rule• If a player is suspected of injury and remains on the ground for more than 15 seconds, the referee will stop play and call for medical staff. The player will be removed from the field and remain off for at least two minutes for evaluation and treatment.

Timed substitution rule•Substituted players must leave the field within 10 seconds. If a player doesn’t leave within 10 seconds, the incoming player must wait 60 seconds before entering.

In-stadium VAR announcements•Referees will announce and explain VAR decisions.

Which episode is that one? They all blur into one for me now xD

Get your tissues ready. Tennants last episode hit hard the first time I watched. I think it got me the last time I watched too

It took me a little bit to warm up to Smith. But what a guy. Tennant was my doctor, but it’s neck and neck between him and Smith

100% agree. I know it’s a time wasting tactic and you kinda expect your team to do it to wind down the clock, but it can be so infuriating when it’s the other way around.

I’m all for having a set time and then it’s all square across the park. That being said, the crack down on time wasting in the PL is as effective as a clown at a funeral. If you’re going to crack down on timewasting during subs, do it across the park. Especially for some goalkicks…

I know a couple, but I think the energy and charisma of Tennent sold me. I think the production value and stories picked up, which helped too. Who knows what may have been if things went differently with Eccleston. He was treated quite poorly, which is a shame.

I was so looking forward to Capaldi, but I think the quality of the show dipped for me and some of the writing and story lines were meh. I admit that coming off the back of Smith and my expectations is probably why I didn’t take to him as much. Then Whittaker happened, and that killed all enthusiasm I had for the show. But, I’ve been slowly going back and rewatching them with my gf and some friends. With some time I’m hoping Capaldi will grow on me.

I definitely recommend watching some of the older stuff, although I think it’s quite dated xD. I used to watch the older episodes, maybe 15 years or so ago. Saw a little bit of Pertwee, watched all of Tom Baker and loved him (he pretty much set the tone for future Doctor"s being quirky oddballs), saw some Sylvester McCoy who I liked as well. Maybe little bits of Peter Davidson?

Its kinda cool to see how some of it connects to the reboot. Whether through characters, enemies or references.

Mmm… I always had a soft spot for him and was sad he left. But yeah… I’m not sure on that one. Maybe depending on price, he could be preferred as rotation.

He’d probably be a good leader to have in that position in training and in the dressing room. Could even maybe look to join/be part of the coaching staff, if he’s that way inclined?

What an astonishing run… who knew Xhaka would play part in an invincibles like team, lol

4 more games to go, I think? Man… I hope they go on and do it.

I just had a thought… what if we spent a day only posting in c/football… I didn’t say it was a good one.

I agree with you though. I burnt myself out on sport a long time ago. I used to watch a bit of everything until I hot a wall and stopped everything completely.

I started following again around the end of the Wegner era and now I usually only stick with Arsenal related content. r/football was how I kept up to date with stuff.

But, I’m glad c/gunners is active and with a range of people with open minds (at least I try to)

I’d say we’re kinda like ouroboros then. I feel like you help create a consistent structure that provides a platform for the community to flourish.

Is that the ‘Silence in the Library’ and ‘Forest of the Dead’ episodes? If so, one of my favourite episodes. Kinda creeped me out a little when I first watched it.

I’ve been watching highlights on the Palace V ManU game and United do not look cohesive in so many aspects. Their defending and goalkeeping aside, it didn’t look like they knew their roles for some of their set pieces.

On one of their free kicks, Eriksen is telling the United players lined up in the attack what to do. I know the team discuss what roles/tactics they are going to use, but it didn’t look like anybody knew what they were supposed to do.

You can see Eriksen giving Evans instructions, then Garnacho, then he steps away from the ball to go tell Antony and others lined up instructions. And even after that Evans looks kinda clueless on where he should stand. Give him the benefit of the doubt and maybe he was just trying to position himself according to the defensive line.

This is nice to see. Welcome! :)

Thinking about the space between the United defence and midfield, this could be a game Martinelli could do well in with his pace

nuggsy, 2 days ago

I take your point. That is very doctor-esque though, lol

But that could be one of those “fixed” points in time where his hands are tied. Because doesn’t she help keep things running? I’ve forgotten what CAL did

nuggsy, 2 days ago

I’m no expert, and it was only highlights, but it just stood out. To me, it looked like Eriksen was trying to set up for the attacking set piece in the moment, which maybe indicated it wasn’t one they ran drills on or practiced.

I guess, also to the point you made, they seem to be short on leaders, which is something we suffered with for a while too.

There’s so many reasons this should be an easy fixture. But it is Manure who have a player or 2 who can pull shit out of their arse and have it turn to gold.

I don’t think it’s as bad since I first saw it, but I still really don’t like the kit, lol. It was different though?

I think my favourites from Addidas are still 21/22 blue lightning 3rd kit and 19/20 bruised banana away. There have been some other really quality jerseys, though, but those are the ones I’ve worn the most.

Also, because I have Ødegaard on the 21/22 one xD

nuggsy, 2 days ago

Right, I thought so. She essentially saves it. I want to say that maybe there’s no way of reversing what happened, but there are so many possibilities and universes that it seems impossible there isn’t some solution.

Which kinda leads me back to it being a fixed point in time. Which also feels like a bit of a cop out excuse

Yeeeaahh… you’re not entirely wrong there, lol
