Fair enough, that makes sense.

If that is true, you do have to wonder why it was John Barnes, out of all the pundits that critized the decision, that gets contacted now? And also, what would drive someone to go on twitter to attack a point of view, perfectly justifiable at the time, a year later once it looks like the risk...

As he himself has pointed out, he has NOT made any accusations related to race and CH sacking. So, who really has the agenda here? Frankly, given the persistent way that CH had been treated before he came to us, and given John Barnes' lifetime of experience (which lead me to be prepared to...

I think we've sorted all this out for you now. The reason he said Ben White would go to Leeds is because he was trying to please you, as he assumed you were a Leeds fan, given you were wearing a Leeds shirt. He was unable to tell you why his dog was called Hunter on account of the fact he was...

I did read the whole post. It was a poor analogy, undermined further by the unfortunate phrase I highlighted. Unworthy of the author I thought, who always seems to be a thoughtful and knowledgeable, if occasionally hasty (and prolific) poster.

I suspect, on review, you'll be unhappy with that.

Absolutely all of this. If you hadn't, personally, sat through all the second half of last season, it would be entirely reasonable to judge the sacking as many did. Even for many of us that did sit through those awful games, it still seemed very harsh. And possibly very unwise. I can see both...

Of course, catching the team above us should be the target. But it looks highly unlikely. They won't lose every game from here. And we are very unlikely to get more than a point from the next two games (and that woud be a big achievement). So we'd need to win all three of our final games...

It is not. This is not the thread for this discussion (the Bear Pit is thataway ^) but, luckily, most people (under 50 at least) are now way beyond the simplistic notion that 'positive discrimination is itself racism'.

Or have your stag night in Bratislava so that Derek from accounts can find a prostitute to try out that thing he saw on the internet. We have glimpsed Nirvana. There can be no going back now.

Time to stop pretending we can be using planes like buses without consequences. Hopefully we'll see a change now, and will never get back to the absurdly cheap air travel, based on tax free fuel and a failure to price externalities. And instead see more investment in decent, well priced train...

I sat through the second half of last season. So I know that something had to change. But I'm not going to re-write my own thoughts. I wanted CH to be given longer and a chance to oversee the change. Not because we 'owed him that' (although of course we did, but I know that unfortunately...

To be clear, it wasn't a criticism, just an acknowledgement of reality. Like Murray, Gross is a very good player in part because he understands his weaknesses and plays to his strengths.

Yes, I seem to remember that. Lovely pass, loads of space to run at. 'Fly my pretty FLY...Oh, it's Gross. Never mind'

Just voted 4. Think I am on to a winner. Feeling smug.

As noted above: 'the prophetic reference in the Old Testament that refers to him as having 'no beauty that we should desire him' Seems to rule out our Ezequiel I'd say?

Reading back in this thread to when he was first signed it seems extraordinary that NOBODY suggested or predicted the song that was to become his. It was so obvious.

Not staggering at all. Not even a little bit. There are a LOT of very rich people with huge vested interest in Trump staying in power. He's been slashing taxes, getting rid of regulations, protecting the interests of US corporations (exhibit A. - Gilead) and shamelessly looking after his...

After stablizing last week, the new infection rate based on the symptom tracker app data appears to have dropped very significantly over the last week. was I think around 2,300, down to 1,440 per day.

Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting we try and threaten China with force? Us? Now?
