  1. Indeed. Let's be glad that the momentum lot never got anywhere near power.
  2. Lol is that the only answer to the shadow cabinet being rubbish? I've already answered that one, the cabinet not being great doesn't make the shadow cabinet better.
  3. Who said it was? The tory cabinet not being great doesn't make the goons in the shadow cabinet any better. If anything it's more of an embarrassment.
  4. Jonnyboy what do you reckon about the stellar lineup in the shadow cabinet? Emily Thornberry, David Lammy, jess Phillips, Naz Shah, Rebecca long Bailey. Some serious talent there.
  5. I was imagining it was the future and you can jizz in a female shaped disk drive to produce a sprog.
  6. Too right. No dreams for the offspring of MLG. Cold hard reality only. Make sure they know the mortality rate of cancer victims and the economic inequalities in Africa by age 7 and we are on to a winner. Just imagine the horror of the MLG household if 2 year old MLG child develops an imaginary friend. The very idea brings me out in a cold sweat.
  7. I'm not sure it's even possible but if it were I'd be very happy if they did implement something like that. I bet the idiots woild be the first to complain though.
  8. Precisely. I fail to see how it's a difficult concept to grasp.
  9. Let's hope so. The likes of red army can get behind my parents for a start.
  10. Someone else will have to have a go. Penetrating a skull this dense is proving an impossible task.
  11. Being in an at risk group and going out unnecessarily, meeting grandchildren who don't live with you etc is selfish and irresponsible and you're a selfish pr*ck and incredibly thick if you try to argue otherwise. I hope you don't get it and pass it on to others.
  12. Its official: this poster is as thick as anyone who has ever posted on here. Attitudes like yours are dangerous and I advocate for stricter government measures primarily because I know there are other cretins who think in similar ways and they need saving from themselves as much as anything else. If everyone felt the same as you this would go on for far longer than is necessary, do even worse damage to the economy and cost many unnecessary lives. You're pig ignorant and dangerous.
  13. Childcare establishments have been opening on bank Holidays and weekends during this crisis and they are also taking older children in some cases.
  14. Cheers. I wonder if we will attempt to bring lemona back if we can't get rid?
  15. It's superb. Made me think very much of the outbreak of the current situation.
  16. But as you just demonstrated with your point about NHS workers having no one but grandparents to look after children, there is still a need even if it's small.
  17. Thanks that is interesting. The people I spoke to were very complimentary about Semmens. They really thought he did a good job to get everyone rowing in the same direction and putting his faith in Ralph was a big moment. Basically said that Ralph was staying whatever happened and he would get rid of the pkayers before Ralph. Helped to bring people on board.
  18. The people I spoke to work at the club but they weren't involved directly with any decisions on rohl so it's possible they were just told something to prevent any wider scandal if that's what it was.
  19. Fair enough. Maybe the bayern thing was just what certain people at the club were told if he did something he shouldn't have done.
  20. What's your point?
  21. This is what I posted in January but thought better of it and deleted it. Feck it, it doesn't really matter now and we need something to discuss: Who wants some club gossip? Seems like as good a place as any to put it. From multiple sources: January. Relevant club staff have been told to work until 1am on transfer deadline day. Suggests that at the very least we will be working to bring someone in. The club. Agreement seems to be that the club structure went to pot after we qualified for Europe. Apparently following this we brought in a load of extra staff in departments. The people I spoke to think we are overstaffed in certain areas to do with the club, with loads of staff doing jobs that are different from their job description. The board itself is apparently decent but the department heads are pretty rubbish and are largely the reason that things have gone backwards. Almost all decisions have to be run past the board for approval which means we have had a high turnover of backroom staff as many want to stay but small things like little pay rises or contract changes can take ages to be approved and staff get fed up and find alternative employment. We had a solid system for recruiting players and under krueger and Wilson things changed. Ross and krueger were largely responsible for the transfer debacle of the last couple of years. The club are aware that Les carried the can for a load of the decisions but apparently he was blamed for a load of stuff that wasn't his fault. Wilson was largely to blame. The carillo transfer in particular, loads of scouts said he wasn't worth the cash but Ross was adament that he would do well. Leicester. After the 9-0 and before the Everton game there was a big crisis meeting with about 600 staff addressed by Martin selmayr. Apparently he is miles better than krueger and Ross and has taken more of a responsibility in football matters. He was very honest and said that apparently we were incredibly close to signing about 5 of the Leicester team - Maddison in particular changed his mind at the last minute- and he emphasised the fine line between success and failure. Ralph was ready to walk after Leicester and offered his resignation but the club decided that they didn't want him to leave. Martin said that a manager should only leave if they had lost the players and they didn't believe that this was the case so they were determined to back him. He said that whilst he was in charge, never again would players be signed on the say so of one person (meaning carillo.) The academy bloke who left for England and due to start in February has been all over the club recently and apparently is an incredibly positive appointment as he knows the club and will return things to higher standards and remove some of the department heads if not performing. Jaidi apparently is still working for the club and there may be an expectation that he has gone to learn in America and will return in the future. Ralph. Decided to come to the club and use us largely as a stepping stone. Came in and promised to stay and get us up the table but then wants to leave and move on. Unlikely to stay for too long if we have some success. Lost rohl once he knew bayern wanted him. Big loss because he was the link between Ralph and the players. Even now Ralph is slightly isolated. Ralph really doesn't trust many of the hangers on like coles and kelvin. If you notice he rarely interacts with them and doesn't do much conferring on match days other than with the bald guy (can't remember his name.) The players Many of the players have had and in some cases continue to have incredibly poor attitudes. There's been a marked decrease in commitment from a few seasons ago. Players were told to come to a sponsors event in November and were told that any players who did not attend would be fined £7k. Out of twenty odd players, only 7 showed up including jwp and ings. Certain departments have been told not to do anything too in depth with Bertrand which suggests he is off. He apparently has a poor attitude and was why he wasn't being played much at the start of the season. Charlie Austin is a gigantic b*llend. Made sexually suggestive and lewd comments to female staff members and was generally a ball bag. Most in the club very pleased to see the back of him Danso was really signed for potential and was worth a punt. Apparently has a 3.5 million fee if we decide to keep him. View of the club is that he has a lot of potential and may be worth it for such a small outlay. The kit. Anniversary next year. Almost certainly. Isn't going to be stripes, we may see a return of the sash. Someone got sacked for leaking the kit last year so understandably people don't want to reveal anything much this year. Gao Nothing we don't already know but has no intention of putting money in or taking any out. Only ever wanted the club to raise his profile abroad and as an asset to assist him in his other businesses. Some people are nervous about the sponsor this year and fear it could be something dodgy like money laundering.
  22. I wouldn't condemn people I see for that reason unless it's blatantly obvious they are being irresponsible. Some schools and childcare facilities were open on Friday and are open on Monday by the way for that exact purpose to avoid sending children to elderly relatives.
  23. I was talking more generally about this sense that if you are out working without ppe that it's then OK to go and meet people from other households. The example given could very well have been people from the same house so I wouldn't be able to comment on that specific case.
  24. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you suggesting I'm lacking empathy because I don't understand why grandparents would want to see their grandchildren? I know full well how painful and upsetting it has been for grandparents- not least my own who haven't seen their granddaughter in a month. It's not sanctimony at all, it's a basic request that if adhered to by enough people is clearly going to save lives, possibly of people you love. Some people would rather run the risk though because they don't think it will happen to them. I know who is really lacking empathy in this situation.
  25. Well it doesn't really because you have a chance of catching it and spreading it on the tube AND to close friends and family if you're mixing with them. Surely the sensible thing to do is to minimise the different people you are mixing with which will reduce the amount of people you spread it to. It isn't rocket science.
