The problem is absolutely shocking management. My snap dragon earns a fortune working bank shifts in addition to her contract. Shifts that come about because of horrendous rostering/sickness levels/ lack of permanent staff. Senior management are fucking clueless and there’s always a last minute panic to fill gaps, they just throw monetary incentives around to get people in. It’s been going on for years, some of her colleagues have reduced their NHS contract in order to do bank shifts. No matter how many times they announce that no incentives will be paid, a week with no volunteers and they soon crumble. The SD won’t do any extra unless it attracts incentive, so just sits back until they give in and start paying it again. There doesn’t appear to be any accountability or budgets around agency costs & OT. In the private sector I have to use OT & occasionally agency, but my line manager is all over it like a rash. Any manager that uses it long term won’t be in a job for long. Therefore, it seems too simplistic to say “if we used less agency/bank then we can recruit new staff and pay existing ones more”. It really seems beyond senior management to implement this and therefore I’ve no doubt that we’d end up bunging existing staff more dosh and still not cutting back on agency usage. Other trusts maybe different, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Nobody wants to pay any more tax. Some people pretend they are willing to do so, whilst the rest are more honest about it.

That’s where the mask slipped and the true Soggy came out.

What’s a “would be” immigrant? Sounds like another dodgy term Nick Griffin would use to describe a foreigner residing outside of the uk. “See that African bloke there, he’s a would be immigrant “.

I once confronted a white bloke who called black people coconuts, “them”, and also called an English born chick an immigrant because she wasn’t white. Does that count?

Do you still visit the boozer? To give up I’d have to have a complete lifestyle change, take up a hobby & ditch my mates.

Bit like the left use “Racist”then?

I try not to drink in the week or at home and try to limit the number of times I’m totally polluted . Been told recently that I have slightly elevated liver enzymes, so I suppose I should cut back even more, but it’s not that easy. It’s not that I’m a bar fly, but I love Ale Houses & social drinking. I need a bevy to have a crack.

What makes you think he’s capable of getting us over the line? Tony Adams is a loon, but he’s got it right on this subject. 'They’re all nice people in the England camp. Gareth Southgate’s lovely, Stevie Holland is wonderful, Chris Powell is a beautiful man. 'But they need an experienced, serial winner around the place.‘ “Well done England, jolly good defeat, keep your heads high. 'This is the mentality we have to change.’ “he’s a good loser. It’s hard to say that but it’s the truth.'

Southgate allegedly said “we needed Winston Churchill & got Iain Duncan Smith” when discussing Sven’s half time team talk at the ‘02 quarter final. Well this time we needed Sir Alex and got Oli. At 1-1 they were there for the taking, that’s the time changes should have been made, not after they’d re-established their lead. Sterling coming on was bizarre and only giving Grealish a minute pointless. It’s also pretty unbelievable that Madison never got a minute during the whole tournament. Like him or not, he’d been flying in the premier league, certainly more so than Sterling or Mount. Whilst he’s got the best record since Sir Alf & has done a difficult job pretty well. The moments that matter have escaped us. He’s top quality for his man management skills and creating an environment where players want to play for their country, and he mainly picks the right sides to start with, but his in game management is not at the top level. In all 3 defeats (Croatia, Italy & France) we’ve controlled a lot of the game, the fact we haven’t taken advantage of that, haven’t got over line, is too much of a coincidence to be bad luck.

Or perhaps she was nervous because she knows she’s not there on merit.

Imagine if Merson had said “19 goals in 40 games, do the math, goal a game”.

Top punditry 😂

I thought about that but the problem is who do you leave out. Henderson’s the obvious one, but I’m not convinced Rice & Bellingham have quite the influence in a 2. We’ve looked good with those 3, with Kane dropping into a 10 we certainly can out number them in central areas and cause real issues. The freedom of playing in a 3 let Henderson & Bellingham make positive runs. I don’t what Saka is like defensively, but I’d let Walker go head to head with Mbappe with Saka helping him out, and also running him the other way. We could change our whole shape, Walker and Trippier solid down the right, and watch as Mbappe gets switched and plays against Shaw. Let’s give it a right go, go after them and make him have to help his full back out instead. Let’s see how quick he is running towards his own goal.

Bunch of classless cunts. This picture when the final penalty went in shows their true colours, there’s not many teams react to the opposition like they did after a penalty knock out. Even St Messi reportedly took the piss in front of the Dutch staff at the end. I hope they suffer a cruel and painful defeat next round.

Horrendous ref performance

Fucking well deserved, fucking brilliant. Cheating Argie bastards. Best thing is Keown stating that Holland “look worse” after the big men came on, just before they got it in the mixer and got 1 back.

Dance on that you twats….

What a load of old fucking pony. Don’t give me the bollocks about Brazil, we’d have torn Sk a new one had they played like that against us (without the noddy dancing as well). Our attack and midfield are the match of anything I’ve seen in this WC. If the keeper, Centre halves and Luke Shaw step up to the plate, we’re the match of any side out there. Least impressive? My arse.

You can say that again….

Someone needs to give them clog for that stupid fucking dancing.

That’s a bold prediction, real insightful. Most people will expect them to beat Brazil next round 🤪

Jenas is such a cock. Don’t see many good games in extra time, so should go straight to pens. Fuck me, some sides will be hanging on for pens after about an hour.

Saka needs to fucking wake up….

The bastards didn’t take the knee either.
