    Yes it's back to that argument of pragmatism v romanticism. I have enough reality and make-the-best-of in day to day life and football is my escape, my entertainment which I, sometimes, pay for and have expectations of. My expectations are for the club I love to try and play a certain way and when the manager says A. That there IS no such thing as a 'West Ham way' and B. If there was, it's called "losing games" my feeling is, well fuck off then and let someone who thinks differently take over instead of insisting lump and thump is the ONLY way to play. One week he'd say that it was the only way to win and the next he'd say he didn't play that way. I've said before it might mean going down before rising again but it would be based on something more than an outdated and limited philosophy and would be good to watch. The trouble at the moment is this benighted move to the Olympic graveyard and our Chairmen's desire for the status quo above all - only a possible fan revolt that might mean staying away from the new venue prompted them to interfere. I give - and gave - him credit for promotion - I can't remember what I said at the time but something about he'd done a job getting the club up but now it was time to get rid of him and get someone in who worked with more creativity and imagination etc. When a club gets promoted everyone agrees you need to upgrade the playing staff - in this case we needed to upgrade the manager. When he was given the "change style or else" ultimatum I was (quote) "willing to believe a buffoon can - if not change his spots - at least stay sat on his arse and be content to take home his massively inflated wage packet and not interfere with the team but rather let his players do what they do best." - I stick by that as it actually seems to be happening, at least a little. If he DOES see the light and we continue to play as we did against Liverpool I am willing to, if not hail his Damascene conversion as a modern day football miracle, at least think he is smart enough not to keep interfering with Teddy S's re-invigoration of the team. I would, ordinarily, say that you, as a ManU fan, could not possibly understand that for some fans it is not just about winning all the time - but maybe that's a touchy subject right now... :)

    Don't be silly. My view on BFS is a constant. And the 'in spite of' referred, as I remember, to the League Cup game against Spurs when a thrown-together team won against Allardyce's wishes - he wanted us out of the cup (a task he managed emphatically with the next game against ManC) - meaning that even when he selected a team to lose he couldn't. I think your historical defences of the man betray a secret admiration of BFS really (not that I blame you for casting your eye around after your last couple of managers) - perhaps you want some of his gritty northern stability? I think he'd be a natural for one of them northern clubs like Blackburn or Burnley or one of the Manchesters.

You do realise that was meant as BFS's take on things, not mine? I think yesterday's hammering must have tilted your irony receptors RD. Where have I said BFS was responsible for Saturday's win? I DID say it was in spite of him last year and the win against Liverpool was the same - it was still DESPITE BFS, just that on both occasions he claimed it was his doing. As has been pointed out it was more down the Teddy's input and his influence on the new boys - and the absence of BFS's bezzer Nolan (long may he stay out) and the effect that has had on Noble (imo).
  15. Ooh I love these, it's a tin opener isn't it? On a dinner plate? Shot with an old Nikon F2 and over exposed in the dark room. What do I win?

    What Quids said. Nolan's absence has seen Noble take more control in midfield and Downing is more involved without a target man to service; and Teddy has got the new signings on the front foot. Cresswell looks a decent buy too; but then things looked equally rosy after a certain win against Spurs last season and it was noticeable yesterday that BFS played his preferred block and punt for the last 15 minutes or so. The other similarity is that, just like after that Spurs game, BFS claimed tactical genius. When they win he's a genius, when they don't it aint his fault.
  17. The Room - no question. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCj8sPCWfUw Hard to sit through the whole trailer - impossible to sit through the whole film.
  18. I've 'pelleted' slugs and snails before now and left them where they 'fell' - taking a look the next day there are bugs and beetles, flies and spiders and all sorts riddling the bloated corpses and carrying off morsels for their grubs. Like a downed elephant consumed by hyenas, vultures, crocs and cats - a miniature Serengeti.

Since they stopped getting free tuition and grants to spend on books beer and rollies. I realise a lot of parents are actually footing bills but when I went it was not just free but you got spending money too! Irresponsibility, noise pollution and getting on everyone's tits was par for the course.
  20. Okay Scotland look, if you stay we'll drop our kecks and bend over... you can even take a run up! I know that combating a pie-in-the-sky future as promised by the Yes people with a similarly vague/unrealistic basket of promises must seem like a good idea but this is just getting embarrassing.

From DRD: "We're shocked and saddened by the response to Death Row Dinners and are genuinely very sorry for any offence caused. The pop up is intended to explore the concept of last meals; anyone who has ever been to a dinner party has probably had this conversation ? what would they love their last meal to be.

  22. I use Iceland now and then - can't think of any reason i would ever use M&S food though. Ready meals, sandwiches, confectionery and wine. Ready meals are full of salt, sugar and crap - even if it IS not just any crap, but M&S crap - and there won't be anything else that isn't already available locally either cheaper or better quality (or both). It's middle-brow trough-filler.
