About as much point as you trawling back a year to put up a post about my opinion as to who might win the premiership, which nobody could or did correctly predict at that stage.


That do you?

Well he was set up - but these interviews have a way of reflecting the ethics and morals of the subject, and he clearly was proved to have neither.


At what point did he not realise that he now is the establishment and represents the FA as the games rulemaker. He didn't fit in to that transition easily.

Thanks re Castle - but I have BT at home so would probably on this occasion rather watch it at home than the Castle.....


Im meeting someone who isn't particularly a football fan so I'd hope that some of the lordship lane bars would show it.


Matchpint says Actress and Rye are showing it. thanks tj

The Castle is the nearest pub to me. But its a night out I want not just the football.... I like Lordship Lane and I like nice pubs with nicely presented people in them :0


I go to the Castle with my old irish builder mate for a Guinness occasionally but its not normally on my radar.

I for one don't know why SA had to leave. What's the big deal? The money he might have made would have to have been run by his bosses, in his own words. The rest is just opinions and knowledge of certain matters.


Why does the England manager have be like the Pope or the Queen? I'm pretty sure I'm in a minority of one here.

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community....


I'm not. The guy was stitched up. He was also very silly considering how much he wanted the job in the first place. If it wasn't for the media he would still be in a job. Who knows what England's longest serving manager Walter Winterbottom, got up to?

I know that and took it as such, but I guess I do feel a bit of a snob for not wanting to go there because its a bit rough/salt of the earth in terms of clientele.


My mate tonight is a good pal and Irish too. But he's a dedicated follower of fashion, so the Castle is not his thing either.

He was stitched up, and he has called it entrapment.


But the fact is, this is when tested he failed miserably. If I was in a ?3m a year job, I wouldn't be meeting with any "businessmen" that my employers hadn't told me to meet, end of.


He'll be remembered as the England Manager that felt it wasn't his place to tell the players he was managing where to play.

Brought down by his own arrogance and avarice when he finally had the only job he ever really wanted - i just about have enough human empathy to feel a tiny winy bit sorry for him I'm sure this has absolutely gutted him, but he's still trying to say it's not really his fault - no self-reflection in this bloke at all.

I don't get this. Are you talking about the job of England football manager, or any job in general?...

      Coordinated posts intended to mould opinions and silence debate

      By LordshipPain · Posted

      I have been thinking about it and what I have loosely come up with so far are sites and types. Sites Here, Comment is Free, the Independent, the BBC (difficult as their comments section is only ever on trivia), The Telegraph (less so but increasing), The times (rapidly increasing), New Statesman, Spectator (much less so but some increase) even the Daily Mail and UnHerd (perhaps even union platforms, agit-prop and "progressive" platforms, XR, "middle-East", Just Stop Oil, Reddit, Bluesky, Truth Social etc.) I am sure the AI will find more to cross-reference. Types Astro-turfers, single-issue obsessives (frequently overlap with Astro-turfers), floral enforcers, ideologues, political staff, hypocrites, luxury belief pushers, Igors and Renfields. The vast majority are; normal local residents a bit frustrated with something; those looking for a tradesman; or just the friendly saying hello and looking for a bit of community. Spartacus thank you. Although you should probably find something else  more interesting to occupy your time; my energy for this is rapidly deflating. It won't disappear and I will get it done (once I work out which AI and which parameters to use) but it might not happen for a while. I saw your comment on the PIP thread; you have to use your single worst day to apply. Being bravely determined not to be defeated (a quality most normal people find admirable and honourable) means your claim can easily be rejected or at least made difficult. "I will get up, I will walk to the shop, I will cook". Those are the tests you have to make clear you only ever fail at. Sorry but its the truth. I wish you good luck with it.

      Going by tracking information they go via Croydon and East Dulwich (Peckham) sorting offices. Round my way, and I know it varies from street to street, delivery of tracked items brought by the regular postman is mostly reliable. I've noticed if there isn't a postman doing a regular round, there may be a walking postman just delivering the tracked items.

      Are the parcel services organised by the local sorting office? We always notice parcels delivered by the vans are delivered on time but those that come via the postie can be unpredictable and we often get a "you were not in" when no-one even attempted delivery.
