The new fella has been playing it with the kids team. Personally, I cannot as see us signing the players we did if the coach (these people aren't managers) can't play them in a system he fancies. I just think they don't think Azaz has shown enough to build a team around.

He replied to your post about Trump!

If his ideas are great in principle, they should be put into practice. That takes money. Where does that come from without tax revenue?

Yep. Also worth noting that Trump had threatened to pull NYC federal funding if Mamdani won. There's nothing more democratic than some good old fashioned electorate blackmail.

I wouldn't necessarily tar them with the same brush. There's a difference between pledges that can't be honoured and blatant dishonesty.

In what way has this season (thus far) not been wasted? It's been a complete waste of a golden opportunity to get points on the board.

Spot on. We've got to stop hiring trendy coaches, and bring in a manager who can impose standards, and bin off anyone not toeing the line. It feels like the tail has been wagging the dog. That's got to stop. Now.

It's you that is calling for cuts. It's you that can't say what you want to see cut. It's not for me to answer for you, it doesn't work like that. Although you haven't actually asked me anything, but I'm out of here so don't bother asking me anything now.

I'll tap out too. Utterly pointless discussion. You: make cuts Us: what ones? You: I don't know. Just cut something. Brilliant. Fucking brilliant.

You're just repeating the same headlines mate. Give some details. Welfare. What? Pip? Fuck the unemployed and don't pay their rent? Maybe sack off child benefit? Be specific. Civil service. What? Maybe lay off some judges? Close a few courts? Reduce our military spend and forget our NATO pledge? Be specific. Honestly mate, either be more specific, or be quiet.

Chat GPT is limited to what it can write. I too want to know where he wants to save. Are we slashing social care? Road maintenance? Getting rid of pricey nurses and their pensions? Perhaps cram a few more kids into classrooms? Reduce further the SEND budgets? Or is it just "spend less"?

No you're not. You're not talking about any specific savings. You've just said LA, also NHS. It's just a vague way of saying efficiencies. You've not identified one single specific spending cut you'd like to see. Not one.

I've built, acquired and sold out of very successful businesses. I can now work as hard or gently as I choose. I won't elaborate on that. As you've chosen to speculate about who and what we are though, and cast opinion, I'll follow. I don't believe you're what you purport to be. I think you're a relative youngster posting AI driven material. Regardless, our politics are different. I remain of the view that a me, me, me mentality is selfish. Of course you disagree, but that's fine.

An uncomfortable truth isn't stupid. My business activities and sector is irrelevant. My politics aren't your selfish "me first, sod society" politics. I know it's hard for someone with your political stance to grasp, but some of us appreciate that public services are important, and need paying for. Would I prefer minimal taxes, of course - I pay a small fortune annually - but that ain't reality.

Me, me, me. Welcome to selfish Britain.

I agree, but sitting in front of the back 4 in this league (hopefully him in there means a back 3 is no longer felt necessary) should be manageable for him. Of all the news, I didn't expect this at all. Brilliant.

Yep. Brilliant news about Romeu, a proper player and leader, who'll boost us on and off the pitch. But the calls for Oyekunle are ridiculous. He's an unproven kid and won't offer anything that AA, or even Archer, can.

In reality, they've invested bloody well in a resource rich country and will reap the benefits. It's far more effective than the US approach of enforcing regime change in oil rich nations, then leaving them in turmoil. Let's see what they do in Nigeria, but there's no way they'd have meddled if the oil and Christians weren't in the same half of the country.

Presumptuous people who assume it's Muslim immigrants before waiting for facts, then keep their heads down when it transpires that their prejudice got the better of them?

Please show me where US meddling in other countries internal affairs hasn't ended in unnecessary deaths. Nigeria is not a US issue. Like pretty much every other country they've interfered with.

It feels very odd, and it's hard to understand what could the motivation could have been. Pleasingly 4 people have been discharged from hospital, but they'll have a lot to live with. Hopefully the others can recover well.

It is, but information about the perpetrators rather than any interest in those directly impacted, feels an odd human reaction to me.

That'll disappoint some.

That'd help if perpetrators are part of an established community.
