  1. Where? You’re being extremely unclear.
  2. Define “backed”? If you’re talking about fans at actual games it’s almost all managers, despite how utterly shite they were. If you’re talking about fans grizzling on message boards that managers are never going to read anyway, then your benchmarks are ludicrous.
  3. Utter rubbish. when you get backed into a corner trying to defend your nonsense you often resort to outright lies. Top tip: don’t do that.
  4. So you’re basing all of this solely on Nathan Jones. A complete disaster of an appointment from start to finish. You really are all over the place.
  5. Correct, although I still give him praise for getting us up. Cant argue with the end result. He got us promoted, he was employed to get us promoted. So he achieved the end goal, can’t argue with that. Doing it with one of the most expensively organised squads of Championship history by finishing 4th and going up via the playoffs is also factual. So yes, he got us up, but I think we all recognise there were certain limitations despite a massive spend. So, yeah, showed he is a competent manager in the right circumstances. Showing more and more this season what his limitations are. Getting the absolute most out of a squad doesn’t seem to be a core competency. It’s said many times that some players just aren’t good enough for the Premier league, despite looking good in a division below. Russ is showing that’s also true for a manager.
  6. He did mention the possession figures tbf! I tried telling him that’s all that matters and, really, we won the numbers game. He wasn’t having it though, strangely.
  7. It really comes to something when you’re a poor man’s MLG. What a tedious prat.
  8. Not just today tbf. Though he somehow does seem to be getting worse.
  9. There really is.
  10. My pal is a Wolves fan was at Molineux and I think his message to me sums it up. ”Mate, you did tell me but oh my God. Saints were awful. Sorry”. then ”a good side would have absolutely thrashed you today”.
  11. Mike Dean saying not a foul, goal should have stood. Said the defender purposely initiated the contact.
  12. I don’t think it works like that

    Israel

    Who knows with the thinking behind it. Though I did read a report on the bbc that said the attacks were planned via Telegram and groups were “going out to hunt Jews”. Obviously conflation between Israel and Judaism is quite common in some arenas.

    Israel

    The Dutch King and Dutch PM are going with anti-Semitic.
  15. AKA Americanisms.
  16. I love this pretend reality you’ve created for yourself.
  17. It’s Owen Jones, what do you expect? The bloke is a weapons grade cunt and always has been.
  18. TBF there's sort of some strategy in what they're doing (I'm not saying it's good strategy, mind). The likes of Mel Stride, Chris Philp, Laura Trott etc will just parrot out whatever nonsense they're asked to. Kemi is likely to come out with some utterly divisive shite in the next few months so having a bunch of underlings ready and willing to go on TV and defend it will probably seem quite useful to them.
  19. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgv7pj4vd2o Chris Philp appointed shadow home sec 🤣really cleaning house there.
  20. I don’t think anybody has said it was a good idea? Taxes had to go up somehow after the last two cuts in NI which were pretty much done as a vote win bribe, but Labour painted themselves in a corner with a daft election policy that direct taxes for the working person wouldn’t go up. So this was their workaround, and seems pretty poorly executed. Personally I’d have much preferred honesty from the very start. Call the NI cuts what they were, unaffordable bribes, and state that they’ll be reversed. But that wasn’t a vote winning policy, even though it was pretty obvious it was going to happen.
  21. It looks like Lighthouse has saved his blushes somewhat by going on a nighttime vigilante raid and deleted much of the pissed up ranting posts. The silly sod probably doesn’t even remember how much he made an arse of himself, though he doesn’t seem to have cheered up much this morning and has come out of the blocks firing.
  22. .
  23. Yeah Lighthouse gets ratty when he’s had a few beers.
  24. Indeed. just your opinion, like you said.
  25. Don’t go stamping on people’s dreams. Posters on here have been given infraction points for that before.
