  1. It is perhaps worth mentioning that one of the reasons he is our manager is that others really did not fancy it. If he manages to keep us up and the PSR stuff goes away, then (perhaps) we become more attractive to better managers. Or maybe the way the club is run is now widely known and the damage is done in that regard.
  2. Are you absolutely sure about that?
  3. Sorry, allow me to try again I think he is saying that it is possible to not like football being very tactical and uninstinctive whilst not lurching to the opposite extreme of yearning for the days of awful pitches, leg breaking tackles, racism and 'it's a man's game' ism.
  4. I would like to allow you all to share the enjoyable experience I had of today's result. A few of you will know I have not been all that well lately. I'd had a big concert last night, was coaching this morning and then had my pupils dilated at the optician this afternoon. By the time I got home I was ready to rest, and with us being 2-0 down and no signs of things getting better, I chose not to watch the match unfold. However, my phone was still on, and I use Fotmob for scores. I was fast asleep when I heard the magic bell sound that means LCFC have scored, but the second one permeated and so I woke up and saw that in addition, they were down to 10 men. On went the dodgy stream, which then got to about 95 minutes, and of course the stream was lagging, and I rather assumed it was finishing 2-2. And then.... (I cannot recommend this highly enough) the glorious bell dinged once more, and I had about 2 minutes of glorious anticipation of how the winner came about, safe in the knowledge it was worth watching out for. I missed all the rubbish and got a lot of pleasure. And then I went back to sleep
  5. I think it is what some folk stupidly refer to as 'Hard Brexit football'
  6. Police assistance too?
  7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Woods This guy?
  8. no, it actually doesn't.
  9. Has anyone used the word 'honking' yet?
  10. Is your drain blocked AGAIN, then?
  11. Not to worry, soon enough the smartphones will be operating their idiots.
  12. I never met a single person named Bovril in my 4 months there. Bloody liar!
  13. Feels like one for the Unpopular Opinions thread, this.... I have got more on the rails the older I have got, and none of it was anything to do with settling down or family - in fact, it was down to repairing the remnants left by the awful family unit I was subjected to as a child.
  14. Yes, I was invited to do a PG course there, induced by dollars. Bad mistake by me, it wasn't the right time or place for me.
  15. This isn't confined to Trump. The tentacles of this movement are much farther reaching, much darker and much more powerful than any one government.
  16. It was in 1995, I was studying at MSU. I lived on campus so my exposure to regular people was limited, but I think it's fair to say it was ultra-conservative, old-fashioned and at that time, gay people could not admit they were gay - no idea if it is still like that.
  17. It is pure schoolyard bully rules - they apply to those we don't like, but never to me and my gang. Much like those who enjoy the 'It's a free country, I'll say what I like' whilst wishing to deny that right to anyone who happens to disagree. This is how dictators work.
  18. I lived there for 4 months. It was cold.
  19. Take care and stay humane to yourself.
  20. Wow, amazing to get that far. All the best...
  21. I've always found people of a certain political persuasion to have very thin skin when it comes to having their true motivations challenged.
  22. My impression is that it is taken as insinuating that we are all subject to malign influence, and some people don't like to admit or think about that possibility.
  23. Of Urban really, but I'm pleased to hear that of you too.
  24. Sadly, what I said last has been deemed beyond the pale, which is rather telling.
