Yes, a shame to see the plucky minnows now out in such a cruel fashion.

Palace will get Preston at home. We will get Bournemouth away and 74 tickets.

My version of this thread would have excluded the options for Palace and Preston, as we all know they'll be playing each other at the Croydon shit tip.

My first opinion of his signing is the shittest thought I've ever had. He may well be talked about in Ward/Zamora terms by the time he's done here. I mean in terms of quality, he's actually probably better than both.

It's not really a gripe if I'm honest and I think I was misunderstood in the first place. It's Bloom's money and I don't doubt Barber does a good job. Honestly, I'm happy if Bloom's happy. That's the way it works. It's just that when I saw someone slapped down for picking up on his...

What does "I don't believe in war" actually mean? Wars do happen. So what you're actually saying is that it's always worth doing what bullies tell you to do because you're not prepared to defend yourself and your people.

But that's the bit of his position that is palatable. There is the other bit which you've overlooked where he seems to think the right thing to do is accept Trump's self serving position that Ukraine should concede all territory lost and just suck it up as it is the only way to ensure peace...

Conversely I don't respect your opinion. You seem to be an embarrassingly entitled prick who thinks he's better than he is because he inherited money, and this just about sums you up. It's one thing to be a pacifist and insist on not fighting on foreign shores at any cost, but to talk about...

You're damned right I would, (not that Hampshire is ever considered south west). Anyone English and not an entitled dickhead would say the same.

I don't think we should replace him with anyone, but when someone exclaims he's paid a lot of money and is met with "Barber is worth every penny because he is elite", I'd quite like to see the evidence - especially given the poor reviews he had at his last job in Vancouver. I guess Bloom's...

The only piece of land Ukraine might have to compromise on is the Crimea. That land has historically belonged to many nations and it is simply too hard to claim that Ukraine has the right to it any more than anyone else. The rest of it is simply not up for debate. It is Ukrainian land. I'll...

This is moronic. Zelensky is the president of a country fighting a war inside it's own borders. He represents 40m people. You appear to be suggesting it is more important that he appeases Trump and his absurd position that Ukraine concede all lost territory because the US have had enough of...

Bit of a cop out. Man says nice things about high profile well paid director shock.

Maybe that's the going rate for a CEO in the industry? I don't know. But unlike Kaoru Mitoma, I can't say Barber is elite at his job, because I don't honestly know that is the truth. Let's turn this on its head, @dazzer6666. What has Barber done that has clearly made a significant positive...

No we don't. We've been pretty successful since Bloom arrived. Who do you attribute our success to? Bloom or Barber? I'll call it now - Bloom is the one who has risked millions of his own money and surrounded himself with competent people (of which Barber is one). But Barber the main reason...

You want to know why your statement that Zelensky came to the meeting with the wrong attitude is considered ignorant? Do you really need it explaining?

Peace at any cost is not any sort of peace. That's the whole point.

No he absolutely shouldn't. If Russia had taken the south west of England, and we'd gone to see Trump about a peace deal where he insists that land has gone and we should just accept that, I'd want our PM to tell him to fvck off too. Sometimes you just have to take a stand.

Exactly. He was always just going to threaten to pull the plug unless Zelensky accepts losing territory in some bullshit deal. Trump thinks he's some sort of diplomatic genius for this, as if nobody had thought of it before. Everybody else thinks he a total cvnt. And Reform have nailed...

I think that's a reasonable response. To reiterate, I don't think he's anything other than competent, but equally nobody can reasonably shut down debate over his salary by insisting he's elite and worth every penny, because we simply don't know anything about the way he does his job. It could...
