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?...

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Sue · Posted

      £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.

      The Dean's Sermon, Southwark Cathedral - "God, I thank you that I am not like other people"

      By IlonaM · Posted

      No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.

      Welcome back. What have voting intentions got to do with this thread? And much as you may hate the present incarnation of so-called Labour, as do I,  I don't think it is true that they have "not done a single positive thing for working class people", is it? And how exactly are you defining "working class people", anyway?

      Is Sarah Pochin toast?

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      I can’t bear the media “is this racist comment racist” angle taken to reporting it. I feel like she’s a useful out rider for Farage to test how far they can take their rhetoric - it’s not the first time she’s said things that cross over the line. Overt racism is becoming far more commonplace and it’s deeply concerning.
