The European Court of Justice is primarily there to ensure that there is conformity in the Single Market. Some people in the UK believed that the ECJ was a case of ‘them’ telling ‘us’ what to do but of course the ‘them’ included ‘us’ at that time. We can sell into the EU if we can prove that our products comply with their standards but and product testing facility has to be located within the EU.

This so-called football will never be successful. Defensively it’s as porous as a paper bucket. Instead of a wall of players blocking the way to our own goal we invite the opposition to invade our defence and run amok amongst us. Instead of a limited arc in front of them to concentrate on our players need to have eyes in the backs of their heads to see where the threats are coming from and they get overwhelmed.

It's because he always wants to be front of stage. It's all about him and his vanity. Nobody can do their job properly with somebody looking overvyheir shoulders and shouting instructions in their ears. They can't hear him anyway and they certainly shouldn't be looking over to the touchline all the time wondering what to do next.

We wouldn't finish 8th with 43 points. It always used to be considered that 42 points was the safety level. Personally I'd rather keep my right arm. I'm rather fond of it.

You might be happy with that but others wouldn't. "Southampton being just six points above 17th-placed Watford. Southampton finished only two places lower than the previous year but gathered 17 points fewer." "...as his team failed to score in his last five home matches. They ended the campaign with a paltry 41 goals from 38 league games, with only the bottom five teams scoring fewer." And let's not talk about the way he squandered our European campaign. He only looks good if you compare him with the incumbent clown but so would any of the others we've had.

It only matters if you think that our finishing position was a reflection on how well we played.
-
We wouldn't get 8th with the number of points that we had then.
-
On how many points?

No, his style is not suited at this level to the players that he has available.

Which it was towards the end. Very boring.

Phew! That's OK then

As above, I changed my figure.

Approximately. It's not an exact science. Didn't I change my reasoning later? In any case it's all academic.

Play-off Mememto Christmas Present - Help needed

There are picture framing shops that do this sort of thing all the time, even football shirts and the like. There's one on Hiltingbury Road in Chandler's Ford. -
Of course not. Having a shot means losing possession.

Is he any good at management?
-
Yes, sorry, my mistake. I'm 11 hours behind so it was the middle of the night for me. We would need to win at least one in every three and then some. Spoiler alert! It ain't gonna happen.

Chelsea have obviously learnt from us 🙂

'Wash and Slip Over'

It will be much less than they've paid for individual players such as Sulemana, for example.

It's already started with the "luxury" seats in the central Kingsland.

Perhaps his hair is too heavy for him?
-
We would need two points per game from now on. That means winning two out of every three games.

Everybody would know that he would not have been responsible for our relegation.
