It’s natural nowadays. Many here wanted Koenan sacked just before we went on a good run. The trick is for the board to make the right decision when things aren’t going well. They made the right decision to stick with both managers. I voted remain and wanted to keep Ralph.
-
To be honest many here felt the same about Armstrong. One last comment. Why do they persist in booking players for taking their shirts off after scoring a goal? It doesn’t bother anybody and it hadn’t stopped people from doing it. Totally pointless and joyless. Just stop it.
-
Also wanted to add a special shout out to Armstrong. What a difference he has made.

Many congratulations to you both. The old cliche that they grow up so quickly is true. Savour every moment! What a result. What an amazing turn around. Everyone at the club deserves credit, especially Gao and the board for not sacking Ralph when many other clubs would have done. There is still a long way to go but we are now where I think most of us thought we would be last summer so job’s a good ‘un. Wow.

You have to go some to get any worse than that so hardly the worlds best prediction.

Which just goes to show how negative bias works. You have decided that Corbyn is a cretin and you dislike him. You have no idea whether this article is accurate or not, but you chose to rubbish it because it doesn’t fit in with what you want to believe. I can’t prove that the figures are 100% accurate, but given the many articles I have read recently about the negative media bias against Labour there is clearly something in it. -
Do we know for certain that the club are actively trying to buy him?

Each to his own mate. I have some friends who are big Rush fans and one of them does a cool cover of Spirit of Radio and we were only talking about their music the other day. I like power trios - Cream, ELP etc, but never really got into Rush as I didn’t like Geddy Lee’s vocals. Excellent musicians though and a massive band of their time.

It has the potential to be “a bad thing,” especially if there was not strategic reasons for it other to help Trump win the next election and curry favour pre impeachment. All I heard from our security minister after the event was the word “deescalate.” If you don’t escalate you don’t have to deescalate. Trump also managed to unify the region against America/The West. Job well done? Ok, he has removed one bad man, you really dont think they have plenty more replacements? Meanwhile sad young men are plotting their revenge in bedsits in this country and sharping their knives.

I’m interested in music and musicians. You are interested in winding people up on an Internet forum. We all have our “thing.” Nothing unhealthy about that.

What a season Sheffield United are having. I had them pegged for certain relegation but they have been excellent so far. As for West Ham, I would love it, love it if they went down.

Not a huge Rush fan but Neil Peart has always been considered a top rock drummer. Died of brain cancer at 67. RIP

We don’t know because the media largely ignored and is still ignoring it. Given your feelings towards Muslims you might be able to help me with this. Perhaps it is ok to be anti Muslim in this country but not ok to be anti Jew? -

This from thelondoneconomic.com “Jeremy Corbyn is the most smeared politician in history.” “Over 75% of Jeremy Corbyn’s media coverage factually misrepresents him.” -

Ok, stuck with Corbyn. What you don’t seem to grasp was that Corbyn was under constant attack whereas Johnson wasn’t. Just not about issues about hate crime (which the press still seem to be letting Johnson off with) but a multitude of others issues. This is not something I am making up. It is a fact and it happens all the time. -

We are getting bogged down in irrelevant stuff. This thread is about the new Labour leader and what the Labour Party needs to do in order to win the next election. Can we get back on track and leave the Corbyn bashing for other threads? -

Is that the best you can do? I was hoping that you could at least find pictures of him painting swastikas on Jewish graves. -
So in one of the most dangerous regions in the world, don’t you think it is worth having a strategy rather than just playing things by ear? Doesn’t it worry you that ISIS are delighted that he has been killed. Oh, and thanks for grouping me in with “woke” celebrities. I think you will find that there are hundreds of thousands of normal people who think that this action was reckless too.
-
We have had these conversations before. You don’t seem to agree, but it gives people a further reason to go out on the streets carrying knives and stabbing innocent strangers. If this was strategic, why wasn’t it done long ago. Don’t you find it odd that it happens just before his impeachment and with an election on the way? He has recently said he wants less involvement in the Middle East and then he pulls this stunt. Even his own advisors are pulling their hair out. Why do you constantly defend this person who is putting the safety of us all at risk?
-
Ings deserves and England call up and that is more likely since Kane’s injury, but from a selfish perspective, I hope that it doesn’t happen.
-
Is the world a safer place after the assassination of the “terrorist?” How does this play with the idea of “deescalation” in the region. By the way, wasn’t this guy responsible for taking down ISIS?

Are you for real? This has nothing to do with clothing. It has everything to do with denigrating people. Johnson is quite happy to stand up in public and make derogatory remarks about Muslims and Gays and people like you don’t bat an eyelid. Despite the fact that there is no evidence to support the claim that Corbyn is an anti-Semite and he has never made the kind of public pronouncements that Johnson has, Corbyn is the one who gets most grief. You seem to have a real problem with the concept of others wanting a level playing field. Why am I not surprised to find the loudest Tory supporter on here being okay with one rule for one, one rule for another? -

I actually thought that Miatta talked a lot of sense. Move away from political dogma and “isms” and just set out a plan and tell people what you want to do and how you are going to do it. -

And yet you are in the minority in terms of votes and have Boris Johnson as your party leader. Something to be really proud of. -

You seem to do the bleating for me. Remind me a again how many people voted for Tory policies and how many people didn’t? You have a “stonking” majority because of the first past the post system not by popular support. But there I go again, falling into your trap again. I was talking about Hastings and his politics. I am not sure how you managed to turn that into bleating about how flawed our voting system is.
