Agreed. She needs to extend her range by playing a few teenage gangsters. Perhaps she could take the lead role in a biopic about Tupac Shakur?

We're apparently looking at signing him from Besiktas

(yes I know they're female)

 

 

my unpopular opinion for the day is that you should actually watch someone play before calling them poor on FT.

He is a decent bloke. But his time in charge of us was abysmal. The football was turgid and the results unacceptable.

We were 17th when he took over and he had the funds to buy his own players in January. I believe we had more than enough to stay up that season.

He was the 3rd or 4th manager that season.We had a team of right backs and Mandaric was buying nobodies for dubious reasons. The club was a mess. Maybe somebody could have done better but I don't personally blame him.

The same one that became Jonathan "Woss"?

 

Anyway, how do you know it's an alias? I think it's actually the real DT.

The idea that hardness or toughness is a universally admirable quality and that therefore suffering somehow breeds character is reductive and primal and something humanity should be moving away from as fast as possible.

It’s not that I disagree with you necessarily, but you don’t half prioritise some obscure things.

I think Breaking Bad is bit overrated 

Think it definitely helped that it came out when it did, feel if it started now it would've got lost in the shuffle. While there is some top episodes, don't think it comes close to likes of the sopranos and GOAT tier shows

Yeah, quite frankly just got pissed off this morning with a friend of mine being told to "get tougher" and "man up" rather than, you know, actually work out a proper solution to a problem.

 

Maybe again it's me being postmodernist, but all or most of the non-obscure stuff that happens from day to day both at a one-to-one and a nation-state/high political level can be traced back, at the end, to how humans handle human nature and power. It's the starting point for all the other stuff - good and bad - that goes on.

 

Could be wrong, though.

If you read just the personal life section, it will prove your feelings and more I expect;

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Holloway

 

And in terms of his work at Leicester - he desperately wanted to succeed, I think everyone could see that, but I think even Holloway eventually admitted it - he just wasn’t ready, the job was too big, too soon for him.

 

When you consider this was his 4th managerial job and 2 of the 3 before that were for clubs he knew inside out as a player as well, it all makes sense.

 

But something he should be given some credit for - not that it did us any favours - he clearly took stock from his time here and tried to learn from it; much to Blackpool’s then benefit. 

 

Declaration: I’m probably biased given I from/grew up, not only in Bristol, but Kingswood.
