Premier League 24/25 Pre-season guff (misc talking points)
fox_up_north replied to davieG's topic in Leicester City Forum
Skim read of their team had me think they had Bottle O Ketchup in defence. -
Our company uses Teams and other Microsoft things. Absolutely devastated to log on today and find everything in perfect working order.

Who do you want for next season in the PL

Kante to West Ham rumours make me sad -
Premier League 24/25 Pre-season guff (misc talking points)

This is a hilariously specific and dated, but accurate, comparison. -
Wrong spelling, anyway.

As noted - if the US and India aren't playing ball then it's a bugger. Though, I am optimistic for China.

The Running Thread (formerly How fast can you run a 5k?)
fox_up_north replied to Sly's topic in General Chat
I've discovered so many park runs aren't 5k. My local is about 4.7k. Quite annoying. -
Genuinely love the idea of a jobsworth saying he has to do a tour because he's technically a new signing and THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS IN THE BOOK. Cut to a video of him walking out onto the pitch and saying "is that the famous SK1 I've heard so much about"

I think George Carlin said it best that you should be proud of things you've achieved. Being born somewhere and staying there isn't an achievement. But I defo didn't bring up being American as one of Trumps faults. Sexual predator, liar, racist, hatemonger who incites violence, etc.
-
Really not convinced the chat sh1t forum of a parochial English football team is the place for an American to find likeminded individuals but fair play

I mean, you're talking about just accepting a convicted criminal, possible rapist and general lunatic to become leader of a country with one of the largest arsenals in the world.

Next England Manager?
fox_up_north replied to DJ Barry Hammond's topic in General Football and Sport
Could someone like Mourinho be tempted? Or even Benitez. Both are a bit older, have a connection with England and have success at various clubs. They're also high profile enough that they could get player buy in and can point to their tournament achievements. Surely they can be offered a part time contract, so they've got the ability to do media and other bits. -
Slightly like Novak gave up a bit. Made up for Alcaraz.

Is it SOUL or Soo-lay, like soufflé or Robert Goulet?

I must admit to trying not to be bitter this past year. My dad died last August, aged 55, of completely undiagnosed cancer. He spent 30+ years in the military, survived Afghanistan, worked to improve LGBT acceptance in the military and had hundreds at his funeral. Yet, my friend has an alcoholic mum who has never worked, done a bit of time, smokes 30 a day and is still going at around 65. But still being an absolute drain on everyone because she doesn't listen to advice. Same for Trump. Doesn't look after himself, isn't very nice at all, is actually convicted of crime. As I say - trying hard not to feel a little bit bitter about all this but it's increasingly difficult.

I've sat in G. It's close to the lovely SK1 lads and a good atmosphere, when it runs over. I am very sceptical that Cat C will ever be used. What sort of game is that for? There's only really 19 chances for home games and the big 6+ Forest will be Cat A. Probably Villa and Newcastle, too. That leaves you 9/10 games to divvy up between Cat B and C. Bournemouth maybe the only Cat C game.

I have an American friend who is very typically un-American. He's lived in Europe, speaks Dutch and a bit of French, now in England. He's got no interest in guns. I'd firmly put him as a Democrat. He cannot stand Harris and says none of his friends like her. She is absolutely not winning an election.
-
Fair enough. He's past his best and there's been question marks over him for a while but it's a pragmatic decision. Can he do a decent enough job to help us stay up? Yes, provided the transfer money left is spent on players that work.

Southgate stepping down after Euros
fox_up_north replied to Tuna's topic in General Football and Sport
It's very similar to us and Brendan. It's not necessarily the results themselves but the manner in which they're achieved. -
I just don't understand this. They've had FOUR YEARS to find a replacement. Literally, anyone.
-
Christ it's not even funny at this point. He needs to go otherwise we WILL get Trump.

Rehabilitation would be ideal and in a fair world prison itself would only be for people who just cannot operate in society. The problem is, crime is very complex and isn't just one reason. Marxists say it's an unjust society forcing criminals into crime, more authoritarian folks say they're just bad/ feckless. Human interactionists might blame abusive upbringings. It's most likely a mix of all of them. It also comes down to what a society deems as "crime".
