Would you put him below Truss ?

whilst I agree about having big strong athletic midfielders, last season we played a few sides with combatativeshort midfielders who did well, Morris at Boro being an example

I was told recently that at a game between West Ham and Millwall in the late 80s, the visiting Millwall fans sang through the minute’s silence for Hillsborough. They’ve done it subsequently https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-30173051.html Was also told that around that time after a West Ham v Millwall fixture that a Millwall fan died after being thrown from a moving train (don’t know if true but this person isn’t prone to hyperbole). If true, that bodes well for next season….

1 2 3 Blair May 4 Sunak 5 Brown Starmer Cameron 6 7 Johnson 8 Truss

The man covered up the rape gang inquiry He covered up for a known friend of a human trafficking pedophile in mandelson And yet people are morons for disliking him? 😂

No thanks.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A Lettuce 9 Truss

Johnson only at number 6 🤣

I remember us having a very small and physically weak squad only 4-5 seasons ago. Men vs boys most weeks.

I'm not sure Burnham is the darling of the left. As a minister he served under the New Labour banner and from recollection his last two attempts to become labour leader were hindered by that New Labour association. In fact, I don't even think that Starmer going is the result of anything particularly ideological within the labour party.

Anyone want a go at ranking 21st century PMs? Should be quite interesting I would have thought. All pretty bad by the way but some worse than others: 1 Sunak 2 Cameron 3 Brown 4 May 5 Starmer 6 Johnson 7 Blair 8 Truss

Not close to Millwall singing “we can smell your cunt from here” to Karen Brady though

The NI increase being in the employers column was daft, and the CV stuff but anyone saying she’s been disastrous is indulging in hyperbole. The markets like her, look how a few sobs in the HoC made the stock market fall sharply. She’s having to make very tough decisions, as Jeremy Hunt, another quality CoE after the steaming pile of shit Kwarteng and Truss left him to clear up, did and got constant flak from the ERG and Daily Mail wankers who cheered Kwarteng and Truss in the first place.

I know someone who works closely with her and I trust their judgment. Frighteningly how a label like Rachel from accounts and odd sounding speech means people think she is stupid. She clearly isn’t

Would be interested to know, in your view, what Reeves has done disastrously wrong??

Yeah, I know, tongue was somewhat in cheek. That said, from Mayor, to PM is quite the leap, and to get that gig without the public understanding what he's about and/or intends, does not sit comfortably with me.

He should probably learn to walk before trying to run he was a basically a squad player for us yes he featured quite a bit but he was behind downes and jander and most would agree those two was our best line up .

I hope he gets rid of Rachel Reeves. Not sure who would take her place but a chimpanzee with an abacus could do a better job. Wes Streeting may get something. Always a good idea to keep your prospective enemies close. I would like to see John Healy come back as Minister for Defence again. He comes across as knowing exactly what is need for our armed forces. He is a rare thing in politics. Someone respected and liked across all parties.

How about Maradona? Even smaller than Messi. Out-jumping a goalkeeper at least half a foot taller than him.

That's Boxing for you mate

Your nightmare first day of pre-season when you see the new signings arrive...

American sports fans are about the worst going in their own ways; the golf lot with their "mashed potato", "light the candle" hilarity are absolutely dreadful. Then you've got New York golf fans, who have proved time and again that they are their nation's most boorish prats.

Quite possibly. Any choices are going to piss off someone. It just so happened that a lot of the choices that Starmer made were ones I disagreed with and also he never even bothered trying to sell what he was trying to do or have some narrative that people could agree with. Many of his policies seemed totally random, reactionary and poorly thought through which is why he had so many uturns. Add to that his authoritarian streak and having an air of superiority whilst being rather poor and I can see why people had enough of him so quickly.

Starmer wasn’t a great PM (I didn’t like him) but he was also only as good as his party and the MPs on the left who forced his hand on certain matters. I would have preferred he stayed rather than the alternative which will be worse. The left of the party have now got their own way. I anticipate greater levels of disgruntlement soon.

At the District and Borough level perhaps, but regional Mayors are completely different, probably more power than any non-Cabinet MP.
