I had nothing against Howe. Until he went to Newcastle to help sportswash the murderers, and then got all uptight when held to account for his decision. Either he thinks it's just fine to be working for the Saudis. Or the money over-rode his conscience. Either way, he loses in my estimation...
I probably won't boo, it's not really what I do.
But if I do, and by god I'll be tempted, I'll not be booing specifically at Potter. Or Bruno. Or even Chelsea.
I'll be booing in frustration at the whole sordid mess that is top level football. And underneath that, at the whole sordid system...
'darling?'
'yes my love?'
'Do you remember those vows I made when we got married, last year?'
'yes, what about them?'
'I've decided that I don't want to be held to them any more and I'll break them if I feel like it'
'Oh...what, all of them?'
'Not sure yet. I've only broken the one so far - the...
There is more detail in some than you are implying:

It was meant as a package. A reassurance that he would not be backtracking on many of the things that a lot of us think that Labour should be committed to. A way...
There's nothing secret about this. He said he'd stick to these ten pledges and then said he wouldn't. Very openly. Whatever the practical implications, it was a very clear way to signal that he wants to chase the centre right at the expense of the centre left. Fine, if that's what you want to...
He's in opposition against a party that has been self-destructing in a way that has never been seen before. Before that, even with Johnson showing his colours more and more clearly, the polls were not moving in the way that was so confidently predicted by so many 'once Corbyn goes and Starmer...
I voted for Starmer as leader in large part because he made the commitment to keeping (widely popular) core policies.
I definitely feel let down by the breaking of that promise. I will still vote Labour, given alternatives, but I am not particularly enthused to get out and campaign now. And...
Why do they keep it? And indeed, have introduced it in Scotland. When the vast majority of fans, pundits players would say its not working, get rid. Who benefits from keeping it? Is it a pride thing? Is there money involved? There seems to be an assumption that it's here to stay. But why?
It's...
Worse on the day against us - Leicester.
Forest came for a point, executed the game plan and got a point. Leicester came to play and had a very bad day.
Worse as a team and more likely to get relegated? Forest by a mile.
Leicester have good players and a good manager. Going through a very bad...
Smears and dirty tricks in local politics? Who'd a thought it!
Of course, tricks are only 'dirty' when they are applied against someone you like. Perfectly legitmate 'tactics' when applied against someone that you don't agree with.
Credit to Private Eye here - they will call out dirty tricks...
Absolutely not.
Tomorrow is the annual, 'reluctantly support Palace' day as far as I'm concerned.
One team is a smallish club, with mainly local fans which is punching above it's weight, has a decent manager and with whom we have an intense, but enjoyable rivalry.
The other is the bloodstained...
