I thought you were talking about Gary O'Neill for a second then it dawned on me that yes you had actually used the example of MON as an implicit defence of our current manager's poor start.

I vaguely remembered his post match interview after his first Rangers league game was excruciating but decided to go back and reread and... Jesus. How on earth is this guy a professional football manager.

Stayed in Haworth a couple of years ago and we were considering hiking to Burnley but were thankfully too hungover to try after a night in the town's excellent pubs. Beautiful area though as you say. The guy running our B&B was a Leeds fan, typical chip on his shoulder Yorkshireman but friendly enough. I pointed out that Burnley was closer than Leeds but that "probably most people here support Leeds" and he turned to me and said in his most dour Yorkshire way, "nowt 'probably' about it".

Foreign born population of Sachsen Anhalt is apparently about 10%. I imagine in the cities it's higher. That's probably lower than the much of Germany but hardly insignificant, which you'd think reading some of the reports on these elections in the press. And I imagine a lot of those will be Syrians, who have about a 40% unemployment rate in Germany overall. For comparison, about 14% of the USA, land of immigrants, are foreign born. Not that hugely different. I'm not saying what you've written is necessarily wrong, just that by reading much of the discourse in both social and traditional media you'd guess it was almost totally free of immigration. And I acknowledge 'foreign born' can cover a lot....

Peter Taylor is out of work and "knows the club"

You may not like "low block" or "high press" but they mean something and refer to specific things in a game, hence why they are used by successful managers who can coach players and change tactics when needed. "We were naive" or inane ramblings about "learning" mean nothing and are said by defeated managers who have no idea what happened or how they are going to fix it.

This woman gets a lot of stick but to be fair she's a better football manager than Russell Martin

This was very depressing I remember. We'd been so good the season before for the first time in ages and then we went back to being crap again. I'd also been seeing a really hot girl and we'd been travelling loads, up until she dumped me around July 2010 just before the Sousa season began. I remember watching this game on Bulgarian TV with a shit Chinese takeaway questioning my life choices.

I think there is definitely a not insignficant proportion of the country that are quite comforted by defeat and find success a bit difficult to deal with. The puritan streak. See the teary montages when England lose which people absolutely love. And Leicestershire was quite a puritan and noncomformist county I think and definitely in my experience Leicestershire folk do enjoy a bit of wallowing.

It's like some kind of reparations.

I hate him so much I'm actually starting to love him. The hatred sustains me, no idea what I'm going to do when he's inevitably sacked. Join a proscribed extremist group or something. Or go around shouting at bollards in Dover.

I feel like his name is becoming a bit "Give it Walsheh" but really at this point if Fuchs wants the job give it to him. He's at least intelligent, charismatic and seems to understand the game quite well from what I've heard him say. Whether he'd like it or not I don't know and I'm not even sure if I'd wish it on him.

Didn't think I could feel some nostalgia for Gary Rowett.

"We were naive" is another one of these bullshit phrases that bad football managers use but that has no absolutely sense or meaning whatsoever in this context.

Post match comments just prove what a piece of work he is and how genuinely clueless he is. The Ali Dia of managers.

This would be incredibly cringey and nonsensical

There is nobody equally as shit as this absolute weapon

Hilariously inept

He's a loser. That's what he does, loses. This will be his last major job.

Wells, Ely, Canterbury are my 3 favourite English cathedrals. Canterbury is insane really, the scale of it. Arundel is cool just because it is dedicated to a member of the family who commissioned it, the audacity of which I like very much.

Looks like a member of a stomp clap hey indie folk band

what is this

I feel very guilty but at least have someone to push me along in a shopping trolley through the post apocalyptic wasteland

I think there are absolutely elements of the US political establishment that buy into the idea of a Europe lost to the great replacement and that this will influence foreign policy in the future.
