Oh, Spurs you just don't get it: you were supposed to beat Portsmouth at the weekend and then go on to win the cup so that Chelski didn't and then lose to us last night (about 0-8) so that we could pip Chelski for the title. I mean why do you think I kept having that dream?

Ah, I see Rafa's plan now. Perform really badly in all competitions in order to ease pressure on players for next season. ;-)

You reinforce my point exactly Matthew, the level of expectancy on Citeh to perform well will ramp up 10-fold next season, even opposition fans expect it! With that comes the pressure, it's how a club as a whole manages that pressure, Garry Cock's rantings don't help and the managerial merry-go-round could become farcical, the owner needs to appoint a manager and let them get on with it, Abramovich screwed up getting rid of Mourinho...'world class signings' isn't necessarily a solution, this often means other first team players sitting on the bench, would players like Tevez go back to being a small fish in a big pond?...personally I don't mind Citeh doing well (winning silverware excluded), it's reinvigorated traditional rivalries and I expect Manchester as a whole to become the dominant force in domestic football :)

I'm not sure it's in the mentality of a City fan to expect to do well, regardless of how much is spent (one of the main differences between us and Spurs for instance)


I fully expect that if City do get 4th we will lose the Champions League qualifier and end up in UEFA anyway.. Speculatively speaking it may turn out we get new fans with a touch of the glory hunting (which is a bizarre thought) who do have those expectations but what they think really isn't of any import.


The owners on the other hand I think you're right and it would be good to see them doing what they said they'd do. To be fair they mostly have with the glaring exception of sacking Hughes, more money for the academy, engaging with the community etc. Fingers crossed.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
