They’ve got the pricing about right. What were people realistically expecting a discount for us being shite, I’m sure they’d be the first moaning if they’d put them up 30% during the Koeman seasons. Fair and reasonable.

Let’s get your ridiculous rant straight. The lady was right when she says there’s “no right or wrong” figure, and the correct number is the number the country needs Yet the PM is also right when he says the figure is too high. For both to be right (in your eyes) you must believe it’s too high because the country doesn’t need that many at the moment. Therefore a legitimate question is where do you think we can afford to cut the numbers? Should we take less students and their families, less care home workers, less bankers, less NHS workers. As the Government sets visa criteria, which careers areas should be tightened because we have too many people working in them already and where can we afford to take less migrants without impacting the economy? You must believe there is somewhere, because otherwise you wouldn’t think immigration was too high.

The alternative will cause as much of a crash. Our economy is addicted to immigrant labour, both parties are addicted to immigrant labour, only difference is the Tories just pretend they aren’t. No politician or party is going to take the necessary reforms of welfare, training, social care, and as somebody mentioned, further education, required to realistically cut down on immigrants. There are measures available to the Government, they could easily toughen legal immigration rules, but the radical change of direction required is beyond them ( or the opposition). The Treasury will also resist any moves to tighten immigration because of the initial hit the economy will take during the rebalance. The difference between pre Brexit & post Brexit won’t be in numbers, it’ll be in the nationality of the immigrants & the accountability for those numbers. The Tories can no longer hide behind freedom of movement, but make no mistake, loosening of immigration policy is a political decision, not some loss of control. They know full well what they’re doing, they just hope we won’t notice.

Soggy doesn’t seem to understand, perhaps he’s one of the “low IQ” voters. you enjoy sneering at.

There wasn’t a comparison, just a claim that JWP is a class above. Mo Salah is a class above Bazuma despite being different type of players. JWP is not a class above Lavia.

If you can’t see the difference between an Albanian and a Ukrainian, someone from Hong Kong compared to someone from Belgium, then I don’t think you really do get the nuances. But then you’re the bloke that compared the treatment of Jews to the treatment of gingers, so that doesn’t particularly surprise me. What does surprise me is that you continue to see every single political issue through the prism of Brexit, a yin to Bill Cash’s Yang. Immigration was too high when we were in the EU & it’s too high now we’re out, the only difference is the Government is now accountable 100% for the figures, a good thing yes?

No Taking back control of EU immigration was. I can understand why people who assume all non whites are immigrants probably couldn’t grasp the nuances, but I won’t hold that against you. Maybe some more research needed before you post again.

He’s not “a class above” Lavia.

I imagine some people won’t be happy. You know the type, people who assume anyone not white is an immigrant, but as we know the odd one of those supported Remain. Seeing as non EU immigration has always been under the control of Government, I can’t really see why this is Brexit related. I guess when you’re suffering Brexit deranged syndrome everything in life is.

So a bloke who calls other supporters dense, thinks Prowse is a “class above” Lavia 😂

Years?

He’s bang average, which is why he’s one of our better players.

The fixture computer knows his stuff. Got here last night & it’s the Brighton Fringe comedy event. There’s loads of comedy acts on different stages around the town. Some pink haired bloke gave me & snap dragon a leaflet to see 69 comedy sketches in an hour. “It’ll be the funniest thing you’ll see in Brighton this weekend” he enthusiastically told me. “I guarantee it fucking won’t be” was my reply.

Soggy?

Stay classy

What’s all this instant respect pony. If respect towards your playing career made you a good manager, why was Bobby Moore a poor manager? Why was Jackie a better man manager than Bobby Charlton & how did Jose have brilliant players eating out of his hands despite only having managed in Portugal and never having kicked a ball? It’s more likely the players will believe Gerrard is a substandard manager who only got the job off the back of his name. As when Matt was managed by his idol & favourite player, they’ll soon go off him if he’s a shite manager. I’d rather we got someone in who won them over with his managerial style, not his playing career.

This playbook is a load of old pony. City & teams like that can have a playbook because they have better players than everyone else. They can continue to play the same way, safe in the knowledge the opposition won’t be able to counter it no matter what they do. We need to be flexible, clever, surprise teams. If they’ve got mincers at the back, get it in the mixer. If they’ve got a couple of pirates at centre half, play a false 9, or a nippy front man. If they’re good on the counter, sit back, if they don’t like being pressed, press them. What’s this obsession with playing “our” way. My advice to the new man would be, have a balanced squad, watch the opposition (as in scouting) and then adjust tactically to them. You clearly have to have a defensive framework, but then tweak that depending on circumstances. Despite its dinosaur reputation, 4-4-2 lends its self to quick tactical changes depending on circumstances and opposition, most trendy hipster formations are at heart 9 men behind the ball when defending and 5 going forward when attacking. A fluid 4-4-2 covers most eventualities. We need to stop with this pony like “they know the triggers”, or “good without the ball”. Fucking pony. Can they play? Yes or fucking no? If they can, they’re in, if they can’t they’re out. Regardless of the “triggers” or how good they are without the ball. If they’re only good without the ball, We’ll pick them when we’re not using a ball, but until then. Fuck off

And what’s one thing SAF says to young managers? “Pick the right owner”. Heard that from him many times, when discussing players thinking of going into the managerial game. Steve Gibson, or our 🤡 show?

Toney banned for 8 months, fucking joke it’s taken so long. Shame Adam Armstrong or Che dont like a flutter….

😂 ours is named Rickie….

A couple of Tadic’s performances stood out for me, City & Bournemouth. On those 2 days he was up there with Bally as the best first touch & weight of pass ive seen from anyone in a saints shirt. Staying up at Swansea. Watching Saints in the San Siro with my lad and my mates.

Nuno wouldn’t be a bad shout, but the “entertainment over results” crowd might not be happy. He’s a pretty negative coach.

You’ve asked people to rate effort & commitment only but then posted Tall Paul as a 6, before writing “I’m sure he’s trying his best”, surely that’s a 10 then. If you’re serious about this you wouldn’t give Moi a 1 or AA 0, whereas AMN gets a 3 & Salisu a 4 despite “balling out”.

I’d like to thank SOG for saving me the time of finding his ridiculous no votes wasted pony, by rehashing it again. If I stood as an independent under PR & Mrs Duck was the only person who voted for me, then I’m pretty sure most normal people would call that a wasted vote. Not in Sog’s weird mind though. Evidently, it’s not wasted until the seats are dished out, which is exactly how FPTP works, after the count every vote that didn’t result in an MP could be considered wasted by SOG. Yet votes under PR that don’t result in an MP (and there will be some) don’t. If that’s not making a cock of yourself I don’t know what is.

He tried to claim that under PR every single vote counted, that there wouldn’t be one wasted vote.Even people supporting electoral reform were telling him to shut up.
