I think most of us expected to go into that game not needing anything because we'd banked points in our previous three winnable matches. We've put unnecessary pressure on the "what did some of you expect?" matches but totally fu cking up the games we should be getting points from.

I still stick to my prediction from a few weeks back. The ERG/swivels will vote through a Brexit deal - any Brexit deal - rather than risk anything that stops coming out on March 29th. Enough of Parliament will also back it (respecting democracy etc etc) and that will be that. May knows this and in that regard her current strategy is fair enough. On the morning of March 30th the ERG will then disown said deal, say it wouldn't be how they'd have done it and proceed to blame the EU for every bad thing that ever happens to our country for the next decade, just like Brexit never happened. Everyone a winner.

Artur Boruc is not coming back mate.
-
Well, you can't expect us to get anything against Arsenal.
-
Agree. However, there's only one made up theory in play. Gabbiadini is on record saying he left SFC entirely because the manager not rating him. Over and out.
-
You're all over the place. You're now pretending Cedric and Gabbiadini didn't play at all under Ralph when clearly they did get some game time. Remember your own previous post about how Ralph "gave everyone a chance"? They had a chance, he preferred Valery and Austin and Obefemi. He didnt rate them, he let them go. If he wanted either of those players to be front line, key players, then they would still be here. We didn't buy anyone but Ralph would have had his eyes open that this was very likely. It was obvious to little old me that we would fail to sign players in January because we always co ck windows up so it should have been obvious to him if he did his homework on our ways of working.

That's ridiculous against Ranieri- he won the league, not Pearson, who has achieved nothing since. Neil Lennon would be ideal if we want a little more competition in the relegation zone.
-
Your argument is the manager was forced against his will to not select players he genuinely believed would help us fight off relegation, which was the primary objective he would have been given the day he got the job. Your theories and ideas require far more leaps of imagination than mine do. If Ralph rated Cedric and Gabbiadini then a) he would have picked them and b) they'd still be here. Simple.

I found out the best way possible, via the Alan Curbishley "Alan's Available" twitter feed. Got to be the end of Puel in England, surely to god?
-
Except he didn't select Gabbiadini or Cedric when he had the chance to. Weird when facts don't fit the theory, ain't it? If Ralph had want either of those two players to help keep us up, they'd be here now.
-
Benitez took over at Newcastle in March so relegation could hardly be put at his door. Ralph will have been manager for most of the season and architect of a transfer window that prioritised getting shot of decent Premier League pros to play a bunch of whey-faced kids instead. If that pays off he's a hero, if we go down it's his fault.
-
Whatever happens Leicester aren't going down. They'll get the four points or so they need in 11 games. Quite frankly they could do us a massive favour beating Brighton.
-
We're third from bottom right now and finished fourth from bottom last season. Quite aware we are relegation strugglers.
-
And still no league wins since new years day.
-
I wonder what it would be like to play a relegation struggler at home and just register a straightforward comfortable win.
-
Try reading it again. Quite frankly if he doesn't keep us up he deserves to be sacked anyway.
-
I've prayed for him to be ready to return around the time of the Spurs game.
-
Watford must have strengthened in the January window by selling even more players than us.
-
It is the same thing. I think both stances are abhorrent. Are you saying both are fine?
-
Why does a Jew born and bred in, say, Hatton's Liverpool have to take responsibility for a sovereign nation state they have never lived in or have any interest in?

I can't really see where she has lied there. Although in fairness I was knocking one out while I was reading it so I might have skipped a few sentences.

Nissan haven't announced shutting the entire factory down. Yet. As for loons, well, people who would prefer this country simply remained in the same trading/political framework we have had for the last 40 years are called "traitors" and worse as a matter of course these days. That fu ckwit Tory MP ranting on about the war in response to Airbus. Union jack flagwaving types saying they'd rather eat grass if it meant we were out of the EU and that rationing would good for the country. Multiply that by a hostile media environment and it doesn't take a genius Public Relations chief to advise Honda on exactly what they did. The effing "loons" are dominating the entire political direction of the country sunshine.

For one, they had to give that reason to a judge in court, where anodyne might not wash when there's 9 billion quid at stake. Secondly banking doesn't quite have that emotional pull as car manufacturing does, either as a product people are interested in buying or as an industry of workers that people feel an affinity with, so won't be under the same microscope. Also, they won't have lots of plausible other reasons. And, of course, there's probably not that many jobs at obvious and immediate threat from this. There won't be reporters speaking to honest workers trudging into the Aviva office like there was in Swindon earlier this week. Lastly, bankers really don't give a fu ck. Yeah it's Brexit. You all voted for it, we'll take our money elsewhere.

https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN1Q81YW?__twitter_impression=true Aviva Insurance is going to shift nine billion pounds out of the UK into Ireland. The transaction will process on 22:59 on 29th March 2019. Apparently its all to to do with diesel engines or something.
