  1. Regardless of the actions of the parliamentary labour party, Corbyn still has the mandate of the party membership. He is going no-where. Ed Milliband's policy of empowering the party members has finished them off once and for all.
  2. According to that, 4% of UKIP supporters voted to remain.....
  3. Unexpected....
  4. Non-uniform days just like we had at School, one would assume. Be sure not to be the kid who forgets.....
  5. Fans want an inside track, this is probably as close as we will get. Sanitised and controlled by the club, sure, but great to have something/anything to get our teeth into.
  6. Fake twitter account masquerading as the official club account stated Pellegrini was our new manager. Seriously, why do these guys bother?
  7. I will eat my hat if it's Laurent Blanc..... Or give a fiver to charity. It won't happen.
  8. Yes, it is a balance. I would personally consider a 5 year contract excessive based on the risk of things not working out but it would play to the strengths you indicate while giving the service we would expect from a signing. Equally, an ambitious player may feel trapped by the idea of a 5 year term and it may make it less likely for them to sign. I think we are getting it about right currently.
  9. 3 years seems fair to me. Wanyama and Clyne are decent examples of this.
  10. Only needs to last two years....
  11. I like the idea of Puel....... But Pellegrini has won the Premier League. I've come over all unadventurous.
  12. Well this escalated (quickly?)
  13. Sounds not dissimilar to Koeman in the Winter until Pelle's injury. (Although tactically Ron did switch us to a wing back formation at one point if memory serves) Cut from very similar cloth.
  14. The first I remember was Graeme Souness. Although Dave Merrington was in charge of the first game I attended. Was so young at the time Souness was appointed/went that I didn't really know enough to have an opinion. The first time I really was interested in which manager would come in was when Hoddle shafted us, I wanted us to appoint Redknapp...... Oh dear.
  15. Time to draw an Adkins-esque line under things and move on. Looking forward to seeing who we have coming in.
  16. I am excited at the possibility of our academy taking on some professional sides..... But it does not feel right somehow, devaluing the trophy almost. (Because it is so high profile to begin with.)
  17. Oooo that away kit..... Won't be that good I'm sure.
  18. It could be worse. Fear it would look quite shiny and cheap though.
  19. Good luck to him, shame it didn't work out.
  20. Like the look of Leonid Slutsky, a dream team with Argel perhaps?
  21. No. I support the entity first, the employees second.
  22. We clearly have no ambition. Ha!
