To be fair I haven't seen any pics, and my understanding is that there's a £30k allowance to decorate etc. The issue is whether it's an issue for a donor to pay for the works rather than the incumbent or the tax payer. For me, I'd rather a donor than me.

Now there's trolling, and there's just being a cock.

No idea Tim, my comment related to today in Parliament and the flat. I'm no Boris fan/tory by the way, but Labour have more interest in this point than the wider public do I suspect. Starmer was great today, but it'll get him and labour nowhere.

It's gone to improve a public asset, its hardly buying Boris a yacht. It'll be declared, Boris has form for being tardy about these things. Storm in a teacup for me.

Good of you to tell me what I should care about, but I really don't and need not. Political parties take donations. We know that. If the donation goes via, or bypasses, the party and ends up funding renovations I really don't mind.

Yep, battered him all around the chamber. The 4 simple choices question was brilliant. With that said, I couldn't care less who paid for the flat as long as it wasn't the tax layer.

Well there'll be goals I'd imagine, and I fancy us to score at least one of them. I'll go for an entertaining 2-2 draw. Adams and Vestergaard.

To be fair, West Ham would be a good move for Ings. Bigger fan base, better squad, Europe, etc. This is possibly his last big move and he can't be criticised if he goes.

Yeah it does, he has the opinions of a twat. That said, he was brilliant footballer who single handedly won us games and kept us up. For that he deserves Hall of Fame status and he gets my vote.

I read the exchange Del. It was unnecessary, but time to move on.

I've got no idea what this thread is about, but the flirting between you boys/girls is fucking brilliant.

Not a slide, come on. We were doing well, then picked up 15 points in 20 games. If that's not a slide, what is? The poorly run part is a separate matter. My issue, and the point of this thread, is Ralph's performance, his tactics, his in game management, his results. That's all shit and has nothing to do with how the rest of the club is run.

I had an egg. I like an egg.

A few?!?! We've been rock bottom of the form table for 20 games. That's almost 2/3 of a season. It's not a rough patch, it's an epic slide. On the other point, you absolutely have to judge an employee on his individual performance. He's the first team manager / coach and is doing a poor job of it. The excuses are getting more ridiculous now.

We agree on that 👍

You're a sweet man, touching. In the real world, the shit employee gets canned.

This is a daft stance. If I have an employee who was once decent but who's not cutting it anymore, I don't cling onto them just in case the replacement is no better. A simple manager change may not make a positive difference, but we won't know unless we try but nobody is convincing me that after 15 points in 20 games, that Ralph can simply turn it around.

When you were sulking the other day you said you wouldn't be replying to me. It was nice while it lasted. Back to Ralph, I only wish he'd change his mind about his tactics that aren't working.

That's my recollection too. I've got it in my head that he said he wanted 20 players plus the kids. Don't get me wrong, he would have meant 20 good players, but a small squad is what he wanted and what he has.

In fact it's worse than that, we've been rock bottom since matchday 13. In all my time as a fan, I've honestly never heard so many excuses for a manager.

And since matchday 22 we're rock bottom...

Yep, great fella, I enjoy the energy we play with, his energy is terrific, there's lots to like. I don't think he isn't willing to change, rather that he knows nothing else.

If it's a Puel 8th, he's a dead man walking. If it's a Poch 8th, he'll deserve a Knighthood.
