Ah, you put that on every club's messageboard, just changing the club name. 🙂

Wow! Passes to nowhere. shots into the stands. Choosing to pass than get the ball into where there are bodies near their goal. Slow, tentative and with no cohesion. A lot of going through the motions, rather than with any real desire (although that's been the case for a long time since they were turned into tactics drones). Such a lifeless performance, from such a poor side with such poor management and coaching.

Looks as though it's a matter of time before we're conceding here. Giving them a l;ot of opportunities, with not much in return.

Vardy appears for 25/26 pre season in the Championship. ... shortly before spending time in the treatment centre for rust related injuries.

Your nan is Peter Shilton though. 🙂 For me, another one of those where the reaction time just isn't quite there to be instinctive. As others have pointed out, there does seem to be a lot of those.

Like a lot of their player recruitment, SR do the same for managers. Get up and coming ones or ones with a point to prove, presumably thinking they will have to pay less, and reap the rewards. Except Jones, Selles, Martin and now Juric have been among the PL's least successful managers. Rohl may be great. But it's also just a repeat of the others, and none of them have worked for us. It's not even as though they share a common set of values. SR are happy to lurch from one to the other. Why not lurch towards a manager with some actual success and proven ability for a change?

It's easily done. I keep a small pile of keep sake river bed stones, from my travels, in the TV room. Last week, I was so angry I nearly threw one from the South American Danube at it.

That's not a satellite dish. That's the Swing-dar detector he has attached to his head.

Sadly, when told about the need for an Oriol midfield, SR misheard it as "Oreo" and bought in one that crumbles like a cookie.

Sorry, what do I do to get into reverse?

Some will see it as a safe appointment, but it's definitely not without rusk.

Thankfully, it's only the usual moans from those trying to keep hold of what they have, rather than embracing a bright, new future. Here in Airstrip 51, as we will all soon have Google maps updated to, we're repainting the roads, and mending the barbed wire fences ahead of fresh new defense systems that we'll pay our special American friends for. It's great we save the frustration of dual system issues by simply depending on their technology wholesale. It just makes all the massive training, maintenance and upgrade bills easier to manage. The higher that percentage defence commitment, the more US arms catalogue pages we'll have access to. We'll gladly go up to 5% or more for our new toys. I'm sure they'll come in handy someday. And after all, we'll be obligated to buy them to get the other stuff. Got to keep ahead of their other customers (formerly known as NATO allies) And we'll have more need to have them, thanks to the Cold War reset, making Geopolitics nice and simple again. Once Russia regroup and invade the rest of Ukraine, we'll have all those new borders to be watchful over. Thankfully our transatlantic chums have plenty to keep us supplied with, as long as we do exactly as they say. Hurray for MAGA and down with Eurasia, or whoever our pals deem to be our foes!

It's a plan. But not one without difficult choices to be made. Such as would SOG prefer Cheese and Pickle or Ham on his sandwiches being packed for his journey on the ship?

It's an interesting idea, but would the linesman let Stewart enter the field of play with wheels instead of legs. There's also player welfare to consider. Here's the last player to have this done, now in old age. Yes, the tortoise is the one Russell Martin tried to sign, saying he had the perfect pace for his system.

Just picking up on the work/life balance changes since the days of SOG doing nothing to stop bosses mimicking squirting breast milk in front of employees. Our current raft of mandatory training modules not only includes the safe/confidential use of social media. But it's also included as part of everyone's day and promotes that as a way of using balance to be productive and better at both. So, hardly frowned upon. Right, back to SOG pretending the hostages were safer with Hamas.

It's the money from flag and button sales that's going to be funding the Ukrainian Resistance movement.

I read the topic title as "Are Scots really to blame" and thought it a bit harsh. Sooner or later, Celtic were going to cut out the middle club for their players. 🙂

Not by sending the boys round to threaten to hurt his legs. Not only wrong, but probably wouldn't be noticed.

The news tonight...Educated, intelligent democrat voters looking for new lives in the UK, baffled at rejection. The move has shocked the applicants, all residing in Portsmouth, New Hampshire...

Italian club owners looking at us, and wondering how we managed to fix matches the wrong way all the time.

The manager?
