Same. Like when people say "He is paid x amount, he should just get on with it" as if they player is saying "Well pay me another £20K a week and then I'll make my body work a bit better". All by people who have never been anywhere near the level of being a professional athlete, of course.

Can you let us know which one you would be betting on tomorrow, if you were planning to? Would be useful to know...

It's started then. Going to be an awful lot of this kind of thing over the next few months as we run up to the election.

Yawn. I can't believe people still trot out this bollocks in 2024. Is it really that hard to understand how hard it is on the human body playing at that level, regardless of how much you are paid / how fit you / what recovery facilities you have? They are not saying "I am so tired I can't play...

I still can't make my mind up on this. I can see the positives and the negatives. I'm just never quite sure how to eat from one though. Or should it be emptied onto the plate? In which case what is the point? Lot's to think about.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. Obviously they aren’t all the same, and I have hired some decent ones. But the ratio of incapable, entitled idiots to decent ones is incredibly low. The strange thing is it’s not like they necessarily lack a work ethic or don’t want to work. It’s not a laziness...

It’s mad how they can’t see that their beloved constitution probably didn’t have automatic assault rifles in mind when saying people should be allowed to own a musket that takes a minute to reload.

HHTFC v Newhaven for me.

The career plan was laid out in a glossy pamphlet on day 1, showing EXACTLY how you move up the ladder and what you need to do. But they felt that not getting promoted in your first 6 months was somehow unfair (despite being pretty crap at their job). I know. Mad, isn't it? You'd think we'd be...

That's for a totally different reason though. That's to stop Coaches just playing the big kids and smashing it up to them to try and win the league, rather than developing players properly. I'm right behind that.

I expect I probably will. But it is true. When I was in my early 20's I didn't care about my career and didn't care about the world really. I just wanted to drink beer and chase women and go to football. When things went wrong at work or wherever I just got on with it without being too...

Wow. The idea that the Government are anywhere near capable of doing something like this is completely laughable, even if they wanted to. They can't even keep their own PM in place for more than 5 minutes.

I agree. And as someone who has employed a lot of young people over the last few years, I can tell you that you can absolutely see the results of this in them. They are just miles less resilient than we were at their age, and they completely go to pieces when things start going wrong. This...

I think everyone should have a full read of this thread https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/threads/what-do-job-agencies-really-mean-rant-3.92404/ and remember what NSC used to be like, before getting in too much of a flap about some of the posts over the last few days.

Arrogance, apparently. Go and stand in the corner.

I don't like it. I like the fact that home teams could force an advantage for themselves by utilising the ball boys. I wouldn't want to level the playing field for home / away teams too much, it's a great part of football.

Someone's had a talking to from the boss :lolol:

Well I don't hate you. You talk a load of absolute bollocks sometimes, as we all do. I particularly like your early assessments of new players being dogshit who then turn out to be great. But you add a hell of a lot more to this Board than a lot of posters these days, it's so much blander than...

Yep. It could work I guess, Southgate has done the hard work on that, and has done a brilliant job with it. His problem is he is nowhere near the level of top Premier league managers tactically. Potter is.

Van Hecke.
