I wouldn't say they've turned a blind eye to those two, more it wasn't really in their power to control/they dropped the ball. Pakistan has been a powderkeg waiting to go off for years as well.
Well I meant more including Yugoslavia and all that. Will still be big but not in the pre 1945 way, otherwise surely we'd have had a world war since 1945.
There will be conflicts across the world but I don't see one like WW2 occuring.
I don't see a world war as such, I see civil wars or conflicts like Russia v Georgia, disputed territories, landgrabs and the spectre of failed states.
No more old skool Kaisers, Tsars, or Churchills.
I'm not that well up on West, barring a few pub trips round Notting Hill/Holland Park.
I had a very nice evening out in Greenwich on Friday, another excellent area in South London.
Go out for a drink in Leicester Square, admire the shops of Tottenham Court Road and they'll never be back.
Battersea Park far surpasses those duller touristy parks in North London, it feels like a park FOR Londoners, not one full of tourists and gigs.
Clapham, what about all the people who do it for London?
"Oh I couldn't stand living in London, it's too busy and dirty and noisy and dangerous. Oh, I've only visited the centre occasionally.."
I would like to agree with the other sentiments, I went to Manchester last November for a couple of days and really liked it. Great pubs, decent nightlife and exciting new developments.
Sadly isn't that what this whole society was encouraging for years and years?
Shops everywhere, adverts, buying things online. It seems like people used consumerism as a substitute for having other interests, activities or hobbies..
But back when we finished 7th in 2007-08, the only players we brought in over the summer were Whing and Forster, admittedly both very good signings, but aside from that the squad basically remained the same as the one that had been poor and finished 18th in 06-07..
I was going to say, it must have been rather depressing for him these last 18 months, not getting too much of a chance here and farmed out to places like Grays on loan.
But by the looks of it, he's been a very lucky bloke..
But while he didn't score much, Hodgson always praised how well he was working for the team and he must have rated him to keep picking him.
I agree he barely scored at all, but the fact he was a regular starter in a side that finished 7th shows that perhaps he was contributing something else...
Exactly, and who would you rather work for?
Phil "bollock the players on the pitch" Brown, or Roy Hodgson, who turned Fulham from nobodies under Sanchez to 7th this time around.
