  1. Corbyn is a career politician. Trump isn't. Corbyn is thoroughly conventional when compared to Trump. Corbyn is closer to Sanders (even if he is much less likeable and competent than Sanders).
  2. Competence? Corbyn and Trump are in no way comparable and Corbyn is a career politician.
  3. Did you see his speech on Sunday? He heavily watered down his references to Islam and terrorism - all but rejecting the relationship between the two.
  4. Reports unclear but sounds like there have been a number of fatalities in Manchester.
  5. That Lallana interview is still a classic. Shows how cynical and bland football has become that it was actually pretty transparent.
  6. Behave. It'll have nothing to do with Puel.
  7. Didn't think it was particularly tough as he had to cover lots of ground and so couldn't pin her down for very long.
  8. Who's going to review Les and wee Ross' season?
  9. May having a mare

    He's like the Japanese soldier who thought it was still WWII. Sad!

    Good lad, though it was better with your West Ham joke. Should be a quick performance review, then...
  12. Reminds me of Barney Ronay's article a few years ago. The paradox is that for all the pretty triangles, we're relying on a pretty primitive means to get goals. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/feb/14/david-moyes-manchester-united-crosses We stack the odds against successful crossing when the build up play is so slow and sides have time to regroup (unless we're willing to overload and commit the fullback, difficult if, for instance, Redmond holds his run when Bertrand advances as seems to be the plan). Never mind the actual quality of those crosses and the (un)willingness to commit players in the box.

    So Les is only going to make a decision based on home results/performances?

    Because pundits like Savage are lazy simpletons. For all their salt-of-the-earth populism (a reputation earned largely because they were s**t footballers), they think its below them to do any research or homework on the smaller sides. We're effectively interchangeable with 10 or so other teams in the league, so its a waste of time to understand the how and why of our season. Can't think of many ex-pros who are exceptions to this, though perhaps the skate Claridge is one.
  19. That figure will count all ST-holders, whether they attend or not.
  20. Not sure why the away support is suddenly held up as some measure of virtue. After all, results have generally been better on the road. Where the results and performances have been poor, there's also been plenty of booing -Prague and Palace being examples. If anything, the home support has shown more tolerance insofar as it waited till the end of the season to express its dissatisfaction.
  21. Not Tadic's biggest fan -can be a flat track bully. Still he's proven himself in the PL and that's preferable to Les and wee Ross trying to be cute and clever in the transfer market.
  22. Not enough pace in that side for me (OP's side).
  23. Its actually the other way around. He's a winger first, fullback second.
