I would agree in normal times. But in this weird time where people’s attention spans have been completely destroyed by smartphones and technology, this sort of politics works. Most people don’t take that much interest in it, and soundbites and nonsense that isn’t backed up with facts is enough...
I f***ing did not vote for Brexit!! And I would never vote for that **** Farage!
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen. Look at Brexit / Trump (twice). The UK is heading in that direction, as much as lots of left-leaning people (like myself) pretend that it isn’t.
It says everything about modern football really. I’m sure if you made one to the tune of Sloop John B it would catch on immediately. But something actually original and unique? No thanks. Far too difficult.
Fantastic player. But also extremely likeable, which is unusual in modern football. Would absolutely love him to come back and finish his career here in 10 years time.
Our fan base is very flakey. A couple of dodgy games and the demand significantly drops. I think the club might be starting to realise it isn’t quite as strong as they thought it was. I hope it doesn’t affect the Amex expansion plans. But it should put to bed the ‘can we extend the North Stand...
It’s a shame but I totally get why players like him don’t want to sign a new contract with us. I don’t think I would. How is he going to break into this team and play regularly any time soon? It’s not going to happen. Yes, he could sign and then go on loan somewhere for a year, but he’ll be in...
I think this is genuinely why England have been so unsuccessful at penalty shoot outs over the years.
The fact that brilliant penalty takers with a proven successful techniques make people nervous, where as someone just smashing it fills people with confidence.
Muzza and Bobby Z were bang average penalty takers. Absolutely nowhere near the levels of Pedro.
There was an article in the Athletic recently analysing Pedro's technique where Glen Murray said that his record was about 7.5 out of 10 and he never bothered practising them "because you can't...
Complete opposite for me. Buenonotte did not look (that) out of place playing in central midfield in the Premier League at 18 years old. He looked better than MacAllister did in our team when 3 years younger. He is going to be an absolutely top class player. Enciso, not so much. Awful decision...
I had the kind of reverse scenario of that last year, when I took my boys into the North Stand for the Roma game. They'd only been in 1901 (spoilt twats) and were badgering me to go in the North. We walked inside and my eldest looked around and then looked at me and said "Bit dirty in here...
