Attention.

Whatever gave you that idea?

I couldn't give a fuck what he did elsewhere, he did well for us. I suspect he set up defensively at home because he went from having Van Dijk and Fonte to Stephens in his first season and Yoshida. Perhaps he got Be'er Sheva wrong but then so did Koeman in the two games against Midtjlland, with the away performance being as bad as anything i've seen given the quality of players he had. His crap set up also got us wins against Liverpool twice, Arsenal and Inter Milan. Funny how people are so desperate to discredit Puel they remember draws against Hull rather than wins against Europes biggest clubs

He's such a wet lettuce. I guess in some ways the war has come at the right time for him (and Trump) as they're not talking about Epstein and Mandelson any more

I've had this discussion on here many times and it always circles back to the "i want to be entertained" brigade chirping up moaning about the last few home games and the European campaign. Funny how they never mentioned our pathetic exit in the qualification stages under Koeman. They never give Puel any slack that he lost Mane, Pelle (who scored 30 goals between then the previous season) and Wanyama, who were replaced by Austin, Boufal and Redmond who scored 14 between them as well as a huge downgrade in ability. They also never mention second half of the season he lost Van Dijk and Fonte, went from having one of the best pair of centre backs in the league to one of the worst. He lost 5 of the best players in the team in 6 months, yet still got us 8th and a cup final. The other thing they always pipe up with is that the 8th place was crap because we got a lot less points than the previous season. Show me a manager who'd get more whilst losing their five best players.

Just seen that East 17 will be playing in a working mans club not far from us. How the mighty have fallen 😂

Petrol prices up 5p already. Funny how when prices drop they cant pass that on immediately as they've already bought the barrels but when they go up the cost goes up immediately.

I've heard of them but couldnt tell you any of their songs. My 18 year old niece is obsessed with Taylor Swift and i mean obsessed, if anyone says they dont like or know much about her it's like you've called her a monkey faced bitch, it's quite weird. Had to endure an few hours of her and her parents making us listen to her with them banging on about how amazing she is. She seems like a nice girl and her music was okay, certainly listenable but nothing that hadnt been done 1000 times before, which of course went down very well when i told them that.

Watched the Brits for the first time in years at the weekend. I'm obviously massively out of touch with modern music and find some of it shockingly bad however i though Sombr was excellent. Never heard of him before then but downloaded his album and really like it. Some of my friends wives with teenage kids try and stay involved with what they're into but unless it's taking my kid to an artist he wants to see that i was already into i find it a little cringeworthy seeing middle aged people at gigs aimed at teenagers.

Remember when Nicholl was sacked he said it was not because he failed it was because he failed to bring success. That's pretty much it for me. As a fanbase we expected success after McMenemy so whoever followed him was always going to be in for a tough task. Under Nicholl we were pretty much a midtable team but great entertainers, playing so brilliant football. Yes there were some bad runs, 88/89 20 odd games without a win but we were never really in a relegation battle. Just like the mid 10s, rather than build on what we had things got progressively worse for the next 10 years with fans conditioned to think all that mattered was staying up every year.

probably the same person

A colleague of mine, originally from Beirut lives in Dubai. He says it's fine there and they feel pretty safe, he's faced far worse at home.

Do you know what the stats for fraud are? I hear Thailand is the global hotbed of having your identity stolen.

When a plane lands soon as the belt off sign goes up everyone gets up and stands in the aisle blocking it even though they wont be able to move for another 5 minutes, all selfishly wanting to be first to get their stuff. Particularly irritates me when people have connecting flights so need to get off quicker.

Amen to all that, especially these two
