For cloughs sake dtp, we brought a keeper in, who for me totally settled the defence. Got nothing but admiration for the laddie. You didn't like him from the off, so as PER try and justify your wrongs on football. Just clueless. Ok tell me a better keeper with the little coffers left on ffp? Just tires me when posters reach out in desperation.
Same with nuno. Get behind the squad for taylors sake. Oh hang on you've been there since bill n Ben the defensive men. Reds we ain't doing great, simples. Get on with it.

Look Bowie I don't like six foot three goalkeepers that stand on their line and flap at everything and that is what sels gas always done
Superb shot stopper, but can't do the basic thing 9f commanding his area, which is what all quality goalkeepers do
I cringe everytime a cross or set piece comes in, because I know it will be panic
He's a real unit so why doesn't he use his size instead of getting bullied?
He's made many mistakes and they are there to see, I'm hoping dyche tells him to use his size and dominate from set pieces
When a keeper makes mistakes it has an effect on the defence not trusting him and the whole thing goes to pot
I really hope he can turn it around, but I really can't see it, unless he takes command
He'll pull off world class saves from distance though.

Good luck silkman ???
You both don't like listening to humans, cus your waiting for the aliens to talk to you ???.
17 Nov 2025 03:41:52
There are too many planets in the entire universe for there only to be one with intelligent life on. I don't for one minute believe in aliens as it would make me just as deluded as someone who believes in a God but I least consider the possibility (which is much more realistic than the possibility of the existence of any God) whilst others are convinced of it. The people on Ancieht Aliens who believe it are just as mentally unstable, comical and scarily convinced as those who believe in God. Both concepts are very much tied together when you think about. But the scientific plausibility of alliens is much higher if you measure metrics of both concepts. That's my honest view.
Not sure what Silkworms real view of it is, though.

I have no "Comet" on this subject!
☄️☄️☄️
???.
17 Nov 2025 06:55:18
Who "Star"-ted this anyway!
17 Nov 2025 06:59:53
Ravers don't "Protone" to be someone your not mate!
?????????.
17 Nov 2025 08:35:41
I neither know nor think that I know whether aliens exist or not. Nor do I care for that matter. It's not something I've really looked into. But a friend of mine said years ago that the Pyramids must have been built by aliens as that's the only logical conclusion. He could never explain how he came to that conclusion. He was widely mocked by all.
Ironically he's religious. Which was hilarious in itself as the religious don't do logical conclusions. Hence, their belief in God and the rest of the supernatural world. I think he believes in ghosts as well. And Karma. We still mock him to this very day. Both for his hypothesis on the Pyramids and his devout religious beliefs.
17 Nov 2025 09:18:17
See this is why international breaks are terrible mid season.
Ravers has his tinfoil hat on.
DTP still trying to justify rubbish spouted a year ago.
Silkman talking sense.
Please beam me up Rogie??.
17 Nov 2025 11:17:33
Rumours going around this morning that Jude Bellingham is trying to get on to this site! Scurrilous, surely!
17 Nov 2025 11:38:28
Rogie, excellent mate! I seem to have started a “cosmic dust up” though …. ?????
First of al, I think the existence of God and aliens are two entirely different things. The former is a matter of personal faith, the latter is science based on empirical deductable evidence which, admittedly in the actual absence of sightings is extrapolated from life on Earth and proven scientific theories like Darwin’s theory of evolution and Einsteins theory of relativity ( along with things like geology, evidence from meteor strikes, space probes, the Big Bang work at CERN etc).
It’s like climate change. You don’t BELIEVE in it, it’s measurable and scientifically provable. The only “doubts” are from countries and individuals who stand to gain by obfuscation for personal, political or economic reasons.
Personally I have no Faith in Gods existence but I do approve of the comfort religion can give to people and I am intensely moved by art, music and writing inspired by religion, such as listening to Mozarts Requiem, seeing the Last Hudgement in the Cistene Chapel by Michaelangelo, reading Graham Greenes “ The End of the Affair” or Matthew Arnold s poem “Dover Beach” or the medieval cathedrals etc.
In an infinite universe it’s logical to assume that we are not unique. It’s also logical to assume that ETs will have evolved differently in different climates or conditions ( like black skin or narrow eyes in humans, or evolved abilities in animals to survive intense cold or heat for example).
Following Earth history it’s also logical to think that evolution will result in the rise of human industry with corresponding pollution alongside the development of planet destroying nuclear tyoe weapons whereby advanced societies will be destroyed long before they achieve speed of kight travel. That’s if they are not destroyed by natural forces such as asteroid strikes etc.
Staggering achievements by ancient civilisations like Stonehenge and the Pyramids have a wealth of accompanying evidence of human construction. The great mystery is why an agrarian subsistence society would expend all those resources and man hours constructing these structures? Probably religious and to please the Gods …
As a footnote, oddly, as scientists at CERN for example edge nearer to re creating the conditions of the Big Bang start of the Universe, they are resorting to using quasi religious and mystical ( almost Biblical) words and phrases to explain, basically, how you can create something from nothing……….
It’s like the funky LSD trip in the final bit of Kubricks “2001, Space Odyssey “. How to know the unknowable and present it to an audience…” Don’t even get me started on the King James Bible and the Book of Genesis “In the beginning was the Word”…….
17 Nov 2025 11:41:23
Religion and Aliens has a subject on here is like a lot of stuff on here made up rubbish we all know Jesus is a Forest supporter ???.
17 Nov 2025 13:27:06
Deduce not deduct
By the way, it may well be that aliens approaching Earth see Trump, Putin and the right old mess we are making of it down here that they decide to fly right on past us …….
17 Nov 2025 15:12:37
Wouldn't blame them at all. lol!
17 Nov 2025 15:23:09
Like many posts on here now, superbly written Stokey and I am tending to think you have a career in lecturing/ journalism/ polemics beckoning. I am not one for the "why are we here? " stuff, but I will refer to your post in future, really thought provoking!
Really impressed generally with the written quality of the posts, compared wth the early days-huge improvement.
You are right RHR, these international breaks are responible for us having time to create mini-masterpieces, or bore us stupid? No more 'till March!
17 Nov 2025 16:19:31
Is there life on mars? Ravers/ silkman definitely one. Doesn't take sherlock.
17 Nov 2025 17:11:07
oops! Sorry! Should have read RRH not RHR. I CAN SEE THE IRONY!
17 Nov 2025 17:31:27
Jesus was a nut job, Jester.
17 Nov 2025 17:35:38
Obviously there is, Bowie. Everyone knows that.
17 Nov 2025 17:55:08
I thought you’d be interested in this alien concept Bowie, mate, what with your namesakes Ziggy Stardust persona and Roeg’s masterpiece “ The Man Who Fell to Earth” with your man as the alien Thomas Newton!
17 Nov 2025 18:27:00
I'm a firm believer in men from outer space, they've been here for a while, there all around us. you only have to look at Westminster the place is full of them!. But on a serious note we would have to be narrow minded to think earth is the only inhabited planet in the entire universe.
17 Nov 2025 18:34:02
He's religious so he probably thinks there definitely are aliens. But God built all the aforementioned structures. On his own.
17 Nov 2025 18:40:15
Stokey. Convergent evolution is common. Life has existed on Earth for 3.7 billion years. The eye has evolved many times and alwys converges on the same form. Many other traits have.
Intelligence like ours? How do we know it hasn't happened before on Earth. What if say, a species of dinosaur did?
What if they developed deep space travel and stuff. Went off into space in a space station and their mates were wiped out by a comet. Then they returned?
Aliens.
And now its time for the weather. ?.
17 Nov 2025 19:21:45
No way was there life on earth 3.7 billion years ago. The Earth's only 10, 000 years old. Tops. No more than that.
17 Nov 2025 19:49:12
I thought Shelvey was an alien signing when we had him?.
17 Nov 2025 20:13:15
Ask Bowie about the 10, 000 years old as he's a god botherer.
18 Nov 2025 01:11:22
@Bowie mate i think its psychosis in the case of DTP and dissociative identity disorder with the other one/ two, the pronouns used in the second case would probably be Me/ them/ him/ they/. Her? ??.
18 Nov 2025 11:05:09
Cyclist, Norfolk and others many thanks for all the very interesting “aliens” posts which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading. ??????
Before proper football comes back may I leave this thread with the the words of the late, great Les Dawson……
“I was sat at the bottom of the garden a week ago, smoking a reflective cheroot when I happened to glance at the night sky and I marvelled at the millions of stars glistening like pieces of quicksilver thrown carelessly onto black velvet.
In awe I watched the waxen moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an amber chariot towards the void of infinite space wherein the tethered bolts of Jupiter and Mars hang forever in their orbital majesty; and as I looked at all this, I thought “I must put a roof on this lavatory”……. ???.
18 Nov 2025 18:31:02
Ironically, the missus has put the film 'Signs' on. You couldn't make it up. ??????.
18 Nov 2025 21:18:09
It’s a great film Ravers. I nearly ?my pants when I first saw the cornfield scene mate…….
18 Nov 2025 21:36:00
I saw it years ago. Nothing scary at all happens. The missus was more afraid of it than our daughter and she's only 7.
18 Nov 2025 21:40:19
I put that on without knowing what it was about once. It freaked me out.
Love how international breaks make us spin off in all directions.
18 Nov 2025 23:05:23
I'm at a complete loss to explain how anyone can be scared/ freaked out/ afraid of that film. Me and my daughter was taking the pi@@ out of my missus for it.
18 Nov 2025 23:12:45
Do any of you go out? ?????.
19 Nov 2025 07:23:20
My nights out are Thursday Friday and Saturday. Occasional Wednesday as well.
