Trav Le Bleu

A quick 15 min nap each?

Yeah, and even then look at all the stands empty cos people leaving early.

I get that, but changing now won't save the season. Probably better to have a complete fresh start close season than bring someone in and get the malaise of this season tainting the start of their time.

With a decent manager it would be fine.

Ranieri took a look at the team he inherited and thought, what style of play will get the most out of these players. Every manager since, with the possible exception of Maresca, has taken a look at the players and thought, how can I get these players to play the way I want them to. And failed.

With apologies to Peter Finch... "I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's missing passes or scared of conceding a goal. John Rudkin buys Jordan Ayew, the club is going bust, goalkeepers can't keep a clean sheet. Players are running wild on the pitch and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the squad is unfit to play and our manager is unfit to coach, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen games without a goal and sixty-three goals against, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.' "We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go to games anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my Filbert Fox doll and my Sky TV and my I ❤️ LCFC sticker and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' "Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to Top because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the relegation and the PSR and the EFL and the points deduction next season.' "All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!'

Ruud's two management jobs this season shows how easy it is when you've got decent players. The real proof of a good manager is to get a bunch of poor players to over-achieve. These managers who can't get teams like Man Utd performing must be awful.

Needs to go Not that it will save us, but still...

Lovely aren't they?

That'll show her!

It's funny cos it's true!

I mean, quite a bit of the reason the country is in a state is her short tenure.

Can I sue? By inference she's including me in "we".

I knew 6, 19 and 20. I think a lot of people know them though.

Americanizm Actually, you will find that a lot. Very much the case that American English hasn't evolved as much as UK English and retained usage from 2-3 centuries ago.

DD series 3? Echo has some Kingpin stuff too.

Can I just say though... Suffix -ize. Suffix -ise

Love a bit of etymology.

Couldn't look much different. I'm closer to a yeti

I'm really impressed how you hear Trump speaking and you can't see Putin's lips moving. Very much the Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop of the 21st century.

Plato c. 400 BCE "Only those who do not seek power are qualified to hold it." Wise people those ancient Greeks.

Porthole is one of my favourite video games, bettered only possibly by Porthole 2.

LCFC players... What does try mean?

What were they thinking of, leaving their border unpatrolled?! They were basically gagging for it!

This is just symptomatic of modern high level football in general. A complete disconnect between the club and the fans. Soon the Brentfords and Bournemouths will be the same.
