That's untrue. You did not know whether the German guy was brown/white or whatever before you jumped in. To be fair, you showed a little restraint this time. I rely on facts/evidence on a case by case basis. You make assumptions, and you protest too much as to why.

Ankersen is a shareholder/part owner.

The issue is people assuming before any details are known. There's a few who rush to blame Islamists before knowing whether the perpetrator was indeed Muslim. Some may say that's a reasonable assumption, others see it differently.

If you're referring to Ankersen, he is an owner. As for NC, what he did ain't any better than you describe.

Chocolate

Indeed there are, but there aren't many who can bring loads of it. Lallana does. As for the rest, the performance of the team and the ability of the management/coaching team ain't on Lallana! That's on your boy RM who was kept on far too long.

I can't imagine there's anything in that! We're down, and no big money signing would come in knowing that.

I'm not sure you're seeing what I am. He plays like a manager/coach, and we'll need more of that next season with what will probably be a more junior team. He's vital behind the scenes too, and my understanding is that he has held the dressing room together this season. He's staying, and I'm pretty sure that once he's finished playing, he'll move into a coaching role in some capacity.

It won't be forgotten, but it's a tad random to just bring it up. Any of us could dredge up the moors murders, or any other hideous act. Graphic detail of what these sick people did just isn't needed.

Bit harsh that. A year of Amazon Prime as well would be fair.

So that's a no. He had an OBE already. If he was to get an award, it could only be a CBE or Knighthood. Personally, I think an honour was due, but I'm staggered that he bypassed a CBE and got a knighthood.

He made an actual point.

Interesting observation, and the tech Innovation point is a good one. I look at what we achieved way back (getting to the moon, blackbird, concorde, etc) and see very little progress in that area whereas the advances with computers, phones, medical equipment, etc, is massive. I guess something like this may spark progress and innovation.

I like getting a creme egg months ahead of schedule.

I'm not talking about the moon.

I'm intrigued. What capital projects would generate enough revenue to buy players for next season and pay their wages?

If it was Dave from Derby you wouldn't have bothered. Regardless, child and gang rape sadly happens and always has. These perpetrators being caught, convicted and sentenced is surely a positive, not a negative.

His drive and determination is incredible. I just don't see any tangible benefits of getting to mars - we know there's no proper life there, and that it can't sustain proper life. If there's anything meaningful out there, it's way beyond mars.

What possessed you to post that? Old and very unpleasant news, and targeting a familiar target for you. Alas, horrendous stuff like that happens the world over, and isn't unique to our country.

An achievement, yes, but for no purpose other than a literal ego trip.

Thank you, I missed that 👍

Let's start with this: should a manager who took us to the euro final get something in the new years honours? Forget what it is, just should there be an honour?

Larios was never going to be the answer, even if he'd stayed fit. The lack of updates about his fitness is weird though. I'm not sure what's going on there.

Yes, but this is the real world with real contracts and real money. Getting rid/getting in, is not like buying on eBay.

We need to, but it's not as easy as it sounds. Would the club take losses and would players take a drop in wages?
