  1. Norwich fans did end up protesting against Stuart Webber when he was DOF, after a dismal time of it. I wonder how long their patience would last under Martin in particular. They were sick of watching Farke's uni-system fail.
  2. According to Beeb's Newscast, Labour's new media policy is to focus exclusively/relentlessly on a single topic for a week. This is because they feel their good things are lost in the newscycles. They could now spend plenty of time reinforcing each message until it clicks with the electorate. In practice, it also would give them a chance across a week to outlast anything else. Last week was supposed to be Wes Streting and the NHS. The leadership briefings from Starmer's own team did for that across the whole week. Streeting did get lots of strong moments. He was pre-booked to talk NHS, so was on hand to deal firmly with the mess. This week it's Mahmood on immigration. Which, apart from the expected factions on the left and right seems to have been well received. All sides seem to have respected her strength of conviction and oratory. It is also having the effect of leaving Starmer quite a bit in the background. The whole point of last week, was for him to come out and say he'd fight for his leadership. Having made so many concessions and u turns to get himself and labour into power, he's now on the backfoot to those in his party who communicate their convictions better.
  3. SR's 10 year plan got leaked internally? Maybe they didn't fancy playing in the National League. 🙂
  4. This. Ralph's the only one not tainted fully by SR in the PL. Which is oddly, when things went well for periods. The thread title should really be rate SR tainted managers. To differentiate between them, and the likes of Lawrie, Ronald, Ted, WGS etc.
  5. The point I took from some of the posts was how representative of the actual support is FAB? If there are people on the FAB representing some groups, and not others, why those groups, and not others? is there a disproportionate impact on decision making/ initiatives? Now, for all I know FAB don't actually represent specific groups, despite what the bios for some suggest. It could be that FAB are pretty toothless and/or this is just a random selection of those who were interested. There's also no reason why Initiatives supporting some groups wouldn't benefit the wider fanbase.
  6. That's one thing about SR. You're in acceptance stage 7, thinking it can't get worse now. And then they make their next decision, and it's right back to stage 1.
  7. Every week QT asks the Lib Dems to decide where they'd like it to be hosted. Lost without knowing where the other parties would like to be, so they can they can take a stance, they miss their chance.
  8. Original Gordon Strachan for me too.
  9. Any news that lowers the chance of SOG going without milk in his coffee, can only be good news.
  10. It's lazy posting. After all the time away watching football develop around the world, we're lucky Amelia Earhart has chosen to be involved with our club. We could at least get the name right.
  11. They should all just be called the same name. If SR are incompetent enough to have to go through so many, we can show our contempt for their approach. I'd go with "Bwian" as "Wemove Bwian" sounds funny when shouted by the fans. A new, ever younger, but still with stubble, pullover and Leipzig experience, Bwian can just appear on the next Monday. They should also have a "Hi! I'm Bwian" sticker name badge for the press conferences.
  12. Since BBC children in need is a registered charity, the funds raised would be going to them, and not held by the BBC. So not available for Donald to take from needy children as SOG would like to think. In the same way, the Beeb couldn't use it to pay for damages as historically one of the last places you'd leave an unaccompanied child. The Beeb don't even directly get the money they raise from license fees. It goes into a fund and is allocated back, as some goes off to pay for channel 4 and other bodies.
  13. I think you'll find that in 1939, Batman looked down from a Gotham rooftop to the shattered mess below, thinking he'd try something different for his next side kick. Something with a name suggesting flight, but keeping the bird theme.
  14. Nothing will prepare you for the horror of them in their leotards, still sweaty after pre match dance class.
  15. Young man, invasion getting you down?, I said Young man, pick yourself off the ground, I said Young man, 'cause you're in a new war There's no need to be unhappy Young man, there's a group that has your back, I said Young man, when you're under attack, you can Join them and I'm sure you will see Many ways to get a peace treaty It's fun to sign up to N.A.T.O.
  16. Oh great. Our goal celebrations are going to be dirty dancing routines. I guess that's one plus of AA alone up front and signing Downs. We'll not see many of them.
  17. A bad time for me to have posted I don't get a lunch as well though! 🙂
  18. Goa...goa...gone!
  19. I keep expecting a thread crossover with The Starmer Years, where Reeves closes the fiscal hole by charging rent free dwellers and fantasy companions in SOG's head. Some people pin their hopes on the return of Arthur to revitalise the land (and smite various things) in the country's time of need. But we will always have the hope of our monkey chicken petting zoo.
  20. Only a manager who could put together a record unbeaten run will convince me...no wait...
