This is very true. But, think about it, if you owned the club would you employ someone you and your board wanted or who the fans wanted? It is their club. It is their money. They call the shots. As you say, it doesn’t matter a hoot. At some point the next manager will also be deemed as being a clown for losing matches, selecting the wrong team, using the wrong tactics, buying or selling the wrong players etc. Even Koeman faced calls for the sack by some in this forum. The new manager will either be good, bad or indifferent - all three often seen as such by many different fans after every game.

This can’t possibly be the case. Nic had assured us that Trump surrounds himself with proper bona fide experts!!! More here. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/4/4/2314684/-Rachel-Maddow-Trump-crashed-the-world-s-markets-based-on-the-advice-of-a-fictional-economist# How many times has Trump filed for bankruptcy? 6 isn’t it? Perhaps he isn’t that business savvy after all nic and needs to find some new, real financial experts?

Probably should have gone earlier but no point in keeping him on board if he isn’t going to be here next season. Time to clear the decks and start planning for next season.

There have been countless claims of “alleged” war crimes but you won’t find hypochondriac criticising the IDF for any of them. In fact he thinks that it is appropriate to post laughing emojis instead. Back to the IDF who, apparently, take great care in choosing their targets. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/liveblog/2025/4/7/live-israel-kills-43-in-gaza-orders-palestinians-in-deir-el-balah-to-flee If the IDF want a kill zone why can’t they use their own land rather than encroaching further into Gaza and Palestinian land? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/07/israel-military-gaza-perimeter-land-testimony-report

Badenoch demonstrates once again what a nasty piece of work she is. Now she sides with a foreign regime over democratically elected colleagues going about their lawful business. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/apr/06/kemi-badenoch-israel-labour-mps-yuan-yang-abtisam-mohamed

Not sure what your point is? If I didn’t post a link the usual suspects would accuse me of making it up.

IDF lying again? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g2z103nqxo.amp

So no truth in the rumour that Trump is going to apply a 50% tariff on football forums in the UK because they are saying nasty things about him then? You really do love a conspiracy theory don’t you nic? Tell me, what can we do on TSW to stop Trump in his tracks. If we have the power, tell us how to harness it please.

I read an interesting article about this case this morning. Narcissists have a very large but fragile ego and use it as a support system. They need to feel special and superior and cannot handle rejection as it plays into their deep seated feelings of inadequacy. Brand is a self confessed narcissist. He says that all of his sexual contacts have been consensual. They cannot handle rejection which means that they might not be able to take “no” as an answer, or maybe the “no” just doesn’t compute. That is not to say that every narcissist is a rapist or that Brand is guilty but then neither does the fact that he lived up to a rock star image and,no doubt, had many women throwing themselves at him, mean that he still didn’t take “no” as an answer from some of them. Not seen anything of him for a while, but he seems to be playing the good God fearing Christian card according to the clips they played on the news last night. Strange bloke.

It doesn’t matter if you were or were not. The simple fact is that you have said very clearly on here that the tens of thousands of innocent people in Gaza deserved what they get because, in one way or another, they are associated with Hamas. You, and a few others, have not shown any kind of sympathy towards the Palestinian people, be it in Gaza or those being thrown out of their homes on the West Bank. If it was the other way round, you would be all over it like a rash. Why do you use the word “obsession”? Would you use that word in a pejorative sense to describe those who keep the memory of the Holocaust alive? What is happening right now is an obscenity. You think we should just turn a blind eye to what is happening (and I include 7th October in this and all of the events prior). People have the perfect right to live in peace without having their land stolen by the neighbours, whoever they are. Wouldn’t you agree? Both the Ukrainians and the Palestinians are currently having their human rights put under threat by more powerful neighbours. You ok with that?

I have been thoroughly enjoying the contributions on this thread from the forum’s self proclaimed greatest intellect. He does seem to be struggling with issues that are not necessarily mutually exclusive however. For example, it is entirely possible for Donald Trump and his actions to be motivated by the fact that he is both “thick” and “sinister”.

Obsessed? Pointing out the obvious fact that there are several people on here who clearly think it is ok for one lot of civilians to be killed and another lot not okay is hardly an obsession, it is trying to put things into context. I am sure that most people on here can understand that killing civilians is unacceptable no matter who they are. Sadly a few of you think that some are fair game.

I compared a pile of rubble with a pile of rubble. You on the other hand said it was ok to kill innocent Palestinians because they were all complicit for the actions of a minority. A tad hypocritical to call me out when your comment actually did more than “make light of innocent Muslims being killed”.

A guy phoned into an American radio show and said how much he supported Trump’s tariffs. When asked what he does he said that he had his own company selling T-shirts. He imports those T-shirts from China. D’oh! 😜

Really Elon?

I wonder how those who think that Israel can do no wrong would feel if the Palestinians were dividing up their country? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/02/israel-announces-intention-seize-large-areas-gaza-strip

I assume you are referring to me. I did explain that the element in the Government who are intent on wiping out Palestinians happen to be Jewish Israelis and have differentiated between Netanyahu and his cronies and other Israelis since as you seemed intent on taking my posts against these extremists as antisemitism. At the time you didn’t even to know how to spell Netanyahu so your in depth knowledge of the situation looks a bit shaky. Going on holiday to Israel doesn’t make you an expert in the conflict, clearly. Getting back to what is happening, more atrocities here. The IDF are saying that they shot at Hamas. At least one of the care workers had his hands tied behind his back when he was shot dead. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/31/israel-killed-15-palestinian-paramedics-and-rescue-workers-one-by-one-says-un

Badenoch again demonstrates her complete inability to understand why she is not fit to be anywhere near Parliament. She hasn’t seen the programme apparently but still manages to have an opinion on its content but also manages to shoe horn another issue in order to try and appeal to Faragists. Worse still, her opinion about the programme she says she hasn’t seen appears to based on Musk’s comments on X. https://www.aol.co.uk/badenoch-claims-adolescence-fundamentally-changed-101457897.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACAbrgw12b2h2l3jtzkbi1gtahIae6898ZOkFCYgT6Al1r3l0fuu5F9Yag-6KUdD2fl_gW4kqRO1SA60B1ueuKZr707NzKOM66CQ8bzoJwTWidNorvEAWkNzpc-oXvIdGPPdumiFrdrQlSF8bH5YRtSQTiU1rTS4SVIdQCKflpF5

It is also very weird that a grown man pretends to be something he isn’t to complete strangers. Not much of a role model to kids, not least his own. Apart from spending his days on here trolling away, he lies to complete strangers about his job. I wonder what his boss would make of it all?

Sad news. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2033616/whsmith-to-sell-modella-capital-new-name/amp

You don’t see a difference between taking people hostage and killing tens of thousands of other people? Given a choice I’m thinking that being taken hostage is preferable to being blow apart or buried under a building. The poster I replied to was intimating that the activities of 7th October were enough to justify laying Gaza to waste and killing tens of thousands of women and children. No mask here. Personally I don’t think that the response is, in any universe, justifiable or proportionate. He also tried to conflate WW2 with what is happening in Gaza at the moment as if Hamas is in any way comparable to any of the main forces in that war. The combatants in WW2 fought with similar munitions and equipment. I am sure you can see the difference between what the IDF have at their disposal to wage war against Hamas (and the civilians in Gaza) and what they have in response. It is a turkey shoot is it not. Civilians could leave the areas being bombed during WW2. The people in Gaza are trapped. But then you know that yet chose to dig me out and support the person who posts laughing emojis in response to what has been described as genocide. Perhaps it is your mask that is slipping?

It continues… https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna198503

I don’t know how you can conflate WW2 with what is happening in Gaza unless you agree that there was genocide also in WW2. As for the hostages, how anyone can say that it is ok to kill 50,000 civilians in response to some hostages being taken is beyond belief. And you call me a vile person. You know damned well that if Hamas we’re killing this amount of civilians you would be posting about it every day and, heaven forbid, if anyone posted laughing emojis in response you would have a melt down. If Hamas we’re displacing Israelis in the West Bank from their homes we wouldn’t hear the end of it from you. It doesn’t really bother you that the elected government in Israel are acting just as badly as Hamas. Dead Muslims aren’t an issue for you so it is easy to turn a blind eye to Netanyahu and his government’s actions.

Would you be okay if Hamas had killed Israeli civilians to the tune of 50k if the situation was reversed?

Don’t hold your breath.
