About 20 years ago, I drank fairly regularly in a pub, that was just outside a large Thames Valley town. Shoplifters made a beeline for this place. One lad used to jump on the train, visit Basingstoke every saturday, steal a bicycle and return to the pub. The Landlord would offer up cash and...
' YTF ' ( Younes Talks Football ) is worth a quick look if only for the smugness of the man. Its usually about 20 minutes and he likes to dissect everything Chelsea in some sort of omniscient way. One week its looking good and heading for top four. The next week its all about what is going...
Decent manager at a certain level. Too indecisive and too inconsistent to reach the higher echelons of management and stay there. Better record at Chelsea than at Brighton suggests that too many look at his spell with us through rose tinted specs. We have gone up a level since he left and are...
As for Brexit......phew......bugger me......what a monumental catastrophe......Probably the worst decision in our history. I didn't vote on the day but my sympathies were with coming out. Reason....I have always disliked the way the Union was heading. Too large, too unwieldy and too many...
Blair promised ' education, education, education ' because he intended to send as many kids as possible into higher education ( and conveniently reduce unemployment figures at the same time ) He achieved this by ' dumbing down ' the examination standards, year after year and producing a...
Its impossible to bridge the gap that the Greedy Ones have created. The 20-30 years of global build. Their influence with the tv companies, their ability to outspend and pay their employees much more. The unconcious bias they enjoy from officialdom and the way they manipulate and engineer the...
There should be an increase in doctors and nurses and a decrease in middle management ( for want of a hackneyed phrase...' paper pushers ' ) Too many £50k -£80k salaries. The NHS and Civil Service have overmanning in the wrong areas.
Isn't it about time we started to fight back a bit against this incessant speculation and rumour mongering that targets our club. Its every day of every week of every year and its becoming tiresome. Its as if there is a concerted agenda to destabilise us, strip us bare of all available talent...
Gonna have to accelerate my bucket list a bit sharpish.
Mind you, climbing the 8 highest peaks in the world, becoming the first person to swim the English Channel using backstroke and flying to Kyiv to seek asylum, are, admittedly, going to be a tall order.
....and there you go, assuming that I am some middle-class, thick, bigotted, racist right winger.
Sorry to disappoint you but I have never voted Tory in my life. I happen to have a bit more intelligence than those who rabidly adhere to the Left or Right and can see no good in any other argument...
Too late. The proverbial horse has bolted.
The Albanians control most of the prostitution and drugs in large towns in Southern England already. The generals came over first, set up camp and then the foot soldiers followed. These poor asylum seekers should be supported in their criminal...
Its stopping rivals getting players.
They hijacked the Mudryk deal, when he had agreed to join Arsenal. Clearly influenced Cashseedough some months before ( " I said yes to them in May "......errrr....doesn't that make you in breach of contract? ) and made damn sure they killed off Liverpool and...
Oh dear god....please let it happen.....then the rest of us pawns, in a game we can never win and will never be allowed to win, can start enjoying our domestic football again and let the greed and corruption tear itself to pieces away from these shores.
The majority of clubs seat the press centrally in grounds for obvious reasons. Most grounds have the press under cover. We don't. I sit level with the press about 4 rows back from the front of their area and on occasions, with the wind blowing in the wrong direction, we get rained on. Not...
No question.
Caicedo may be world class but Fergie is gonna be a superstar. HE IS 18 YEARS OLD. I have rarely seen a forward with this much about him at this age. Imagine him in five years, at Haaland's age now. He is strong, holds the ball up well. Has excellent positional sense. Calm in front...
Clearly allowed himself to be very poorly advised thus far ( Ask PB ) Will be agent driven for the foreseeable future and Spain or Saudi bound inside three years.
No.
That they realise that one of the galactico's of world football will pay between £150m and £200m for him in about 3 years time. Sod the 8 year + 1 contract ( still sticking two fingers up to the system until the rules change ) He won't be there that long.
