Of course it was Damian. It's Longford. Great place and the team I used to watch. Star player in those days was John Givens. No, not Don of QPR fame, his brother.

United looked great for about 20 minutes today. After that just frustration. Need a centre forward pronto unless Fellani is considered the answer.


By the way Glenn Hoddle, if you are given a job on TV as a pundit, don't you think you should at least know that Fellani was not a sub and therefore could not come on and cause the threat to the Newcastle defence you thought he might.

And try not to let bias cloud your judgement a la Michael Owen

Declan you must be paranoid, I AGREE with you, I was simply saying Hoddle and Owen show bias in their reporting. Happy now?

You still at this doc? Did you sleep with BFS's missus or something?


Okay i'll bite - a glorious f*ck up - terrible first half - Jenkinson and Creswell had a mare but didn't get much in the way of protection from midfield, play was too narrow and yes the system is taking time to gel but so what? I think it will - things will adapt and it's better to have these problems now than in a few months time. We need a striker and to learn to go wide when it's needed and for players to get over the nerves of playing at UP and stop the headless chicken routine when they f%ck up.


It'll come.


I am equal parts excited, disappointed, annoyed, frustrated, BUT I am not bored. I not looking ahead to a season of safety-first, percentage-based, dullness.


I think I once said I'd rather lose 4-3 in an exciting/dramatic game than win 1-0 in a bore fest. So now is the test. And i still feel that way.


COYI.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.
