Cohen is pretty much always great. This passage perfectly sums up the issue, as played out by Corbynistas on here and, especially, in the Guardian comments section which is home for the utterly deranged these days. Thankfully I only ever read them and don't join in, I'd probably be moderated out of there within 48 hours if I did anyway. Anyway, here he is, making the point that the Corbynidiots think they are the only people who have ever thought about social justice or fairness in society... "Utopias are always banal. Corbyn’s Utopia allows his supporters to wallow in the warmth of self-righteousness. They want to end austerity. Stop greed. Bring peace. How they do it is not their concern. Practicalities are dangerous. They take you away from utopia and back into the messy, Blairite realm of compromises and second-bests. Anyone who knows history knows that utopianism can justify viciousness. By his supporters’ reasoning, leftists who are against Corbyn must be in favour of poverty, greed and war. All tactics are justified in the struggle against such monsters." The behaviour of the Momentum mentalists to the Labour MP in Brighton - literally the only Labour MP for miles and miles and miles and miles around - is this thinking writ large. The sea of blue constituencies surrounding him aren't the problem across that swathe of SE England, but the solitary "Red Tory" scumbag is and he must be deselected forthwith. Mental, mental, mental.

So they appoint Ronald Koeman and then by a miraculous coincidence the senior leadership of the club just happened to appoint Erwin Koeman to the coaching team without any input whatsoever from the manager they'd just brought in. You really, really sure about that?

Appointed by the manager, reporting to the manager, the buck stops with the manager. So as said above, it worked.

I think I'd probably hide in an upstairs wardrobe to escape capture from your forces who want to ship me out. Sounds like a great plan though, and definitely what the allies had in mind for the British people back then.

Or maybe they'd last less time with huge amounts of their time spent being browbeaten by avaricious agents, being bombarded with video highlights reels, or pi ssing the club's money away massively overpaying for the left back and winger they had two years ago at their previous club because its easy to stick with who you know even if their legs have gone, I'll chuck him four years on silly money because I like his wife and kids and, well, there's a bung in it. In other news, Leicester City have one. Manchester City have one. Barcelona have one.

Absolutely it doesn't. We had a pretty solid period of success with a high managerial turnover from 1998 up to the end of the Luggy season, and of course our rise through the divisions was punctuated with plenty of managerial upheaval. Plus unstable Chelsea and Man City have pi ssed all over super stable Arsene in the same time. Up there with net spend as a spectacular false metric.

Hesketh: work on your celebration.

Oh Shane.

This is like deja vu.

This is like deja vu.

The Liverpool head of recruitment's mobile just vibrated.

Your recollection of forum history is breathtaking.

Edit.

The ticket office have confirmed I'll be sat next to you. Currently toying with either Super Mario or the Go Compare man. And my carer gave me a Vuvuzela so I'll probably bring that too.

I've got a shed That's bigger than this I've got a shed that's bigger than this It's got a door and a window I've got a shed that's bigger than this What's Italian for shed?

Saints Siro.

Also, what were Spurs playing at if they couldn't get more?

Happy days. The only shame is we got ours last week on the corporate prawn sandwich ticket but ended up with four seats not together but in two pairs of two. Probably could have got four together now. Oh well. 8,000 Saints fans will be immense and a nice little mini takeover of Milan for the night. Brilliant.

I'd stick Redmond out there with the kids/reserves. He should be able to cope with the games and he needs as many matches as possible playing up front. He needs to keep getting chances and hopefully taking more/gaining composure. Other than that, B team.

That's a well known urban myth. The World Series was never sponsored by any newspaper called The World.

MOTD raving about Redmond, man of the match by a mile, great recruitment by the club etc etc.

Presumably we will chuck a fair few kids and back ups for this one. This season is not the season to worry about the League Cup.

Yes, the same knackered player.

Charlie gives us self confidence.

The boy can cross and score. Crack on.
