Not, but assessing that Pardew was going to be sacked was easy and those that didn't forsee this were pretty thick.
-
Steve mcClaren would be a good choice.
-
Hopefully matin O'neil, but probably not.
-
Sacking Pardew isn't misfortune, it's for the best.
-
Aside from a few loan additions there is no need for massive changes. All we need is a manager who can manage. Simples.
-
You are really don't know what you are talking about. I can respect alternative views, but you have no understanding of this suject whatsoever- that is abundantly clear.
-
Promotion.
-
Sorry but lol, Pardew was nothing special.
-
I have been a big critic of Cortese but in this instance he has got it right. He should have sacked Pardew last season really and the timing of doing it now isn't ideal, but at least he took decisive action early this season. I am now a lot more confident of promotion. Under Pardew we weren't going up imo.
-
Darren now is not to the time to sn1gger at NickG and his ilk. They were wrong and we were right but I for one am not the sort who gets any satisfaction from saying "i was right all along" even though I was.
-
As myself and a few others asserted - Cortese wanted to sack Pardew last season so the writing was on the wall. Welldone Nicola Cortese - you have made the right decision as Pardew wasn't good enough.
-
I agree. Although I don't like us losing any game it'd be best all round if we're knocked out of the JPT and the FA cup straight away. Promotion is all that matters.

Believe it because it's true. He hated fascism and flew spitfires during WW2, but made fatal error when attacking a munitions train depot because he went back for second pop when there was no element of surprise. His plane was hit and he tried to gain hight in an effort to reach the sea (where he could have been picked up by the allied navy) but the plane caught fire and he had to parachute behind enemy lines. He then crossed the Alps barefoot to and made many risks to reach allied lines. 3 months it took him and any soldier missing for thi period automatically had to go home, but he didn't want to leave the theatre and by luck managed to gt reassigned to an elite spitfire squandarn who's leader was the famous johnny johnson. There is no 20th century leader that has lived as much as Ian Smith. He is totally misunderstood and misrepresnted by by the commie/socilaist brigade. He is a legend. Read what he has to say and no sane person would disagree that he was right : http://www.rhodesia.nl/betrayal.htm

Because Rhodesia was not ready to hand over power. The Frederation between Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland had many black represntatives that Smith greatly admired and were friends with him, but after ww2 the marxists sought to overthrow the colonial system becuase the Soviets wanted world domination and they set about inflicting misery on the black population with their terrorist tactics whilst simultaneously claiming to representing them. The Marxists were excellent at this and Mugabe was their man. Smith was not reluctant to give away power because he was a white supremacist, he was reluctant to give away power because he was an African and the vacum would be filled by the marxists to the detriment of blacks and whites.

We didn't invade Rhodesia, Cecil Rhodes struck a deal with the chief of the Matabele for mineral rights. Before white settlers arrived there was hardly anyone there and the Matabele only made forrarys there from the transvaal and those who did live there that farmed the land only farmed the areas with sandy soil (a tiny area was such soil) because they used wooden tools and the hard soil wasn't easy to farm. The hard soil was however ideal and to the liking of the white settlers who used ploughs made of metal. The living standards rose for the blacks almost instantly and the infant mortality rate declined rapidly. The problems we see today in Rhodesia lie firmly at the door of Harold Wilson and the Socialists because they were not ready for self rule when Labour decided to grant it prior to the UDI. Ian Smith accepted that there must be change - he was not racist, but he knew that Mugabe would destroy the country. He was right.

My first thought was serves the yanks right and see how they like terrorist attacks, and then I saw people jumping and swiftly changed my view. The reason for my initial view was because for decades Americans financed the IRA and lefties such as the Kennedys were well in with the Irish republican cause. Successive US governments did nothing to stop the IRA funding, so 9/11 did do Britain a lot of good because it brought terrorism to their shores and supporting the IRA stopped being so fashionable.

Rhodesia and South Africa are different and the Rhodesians were far more tolerant, but they made a fatal mistake in voting not to become the fifth state of South Africa 1948. Had they voted in favour the Boers would never have won their shock election victory over the United Party and blocked the migration of Brits during this period. Instead of the 6:1 black to white ration it would have been a 2:1 ratio and South Africa would now be an economic powerhouse and a country much like Australia or Canada.

I certainly agree with this. British history is something we should be taught to be proud of. I am currently re-reading The Great Betrayal (Ian Smiths autobiography) and he talks about the British Empire "the greatest force for good the world has ever known. Britain, a small island off the coast of Europe, this mighty atom which had spread it's western christian civilisation over half the globe, introducing proper standards of freedom, of justice, and the basics of education, health and hygiene." Whatever your political persuasion I would recomend this autobiography as it is the work of a man who I consider to have been the greatest and wisest political leader of the 20th century.

In the 90's i demonstrated against Al Mahajiroun. The ANL (now called UAF) counter demonstrated alongside Al Mahajiroun. Have a guess which group was involved in the 7/7 terror attack in London?

Mum's death threats over Wootton Bassett campaign A mother-of-four has been subjected to death threats after starting a campaign to stop a protest march by Muslim hardliners through Wootton Bassett. It is believed the messages have been sent by self-styled ‘anti-fascists’ and are not the work of any ethnic or religious group. http://www.kentnews.co.uk/kent-news/Mum_s-death-threats-over-Wootton-Bassett-campaign-newsinkent31599.aspx?news=local

If they are anti fascists why do they march alongside islamic extremists? If you wish I can provide proof of them doing so.
