@wwfcofficial Very bad decision imo.
The fact we even had a sniff of playoffs in March after the start we had was testament to Duff and his work. We go and get him a striker, scores on his debut and now he gets the boot?
Madness. Best of luck to the pair of them 👍
@ricardoevano@henrywinter@SamWallaceTel Different ways of looking at it and not saying HW is wrong but it feels like 'we lost = decision bad' and that to me is overly simplistic - whereas I would say we lost because we defended badly and Tuchel is partly responsible for that but players need to shoulder blame as well.
@BigDL@OfficialFPL Mine was rejected as well, nothing more than a tribute to the talented Leeds duo Joe Rodon and Sean Longstaff in 'Rodon My Longstaff'. Game's gone.
@RaeComm They could do a system where whoever is ranked 1st in the world their vote is worth 211 points and whoever is ranked 211th in the world their vote is worth 1 point.
@GeorgeElek If we're going to go down the route of a reputable coach with little/no management experience, that's the point where I'd really want them to be English though. No problem with high profile foreign CL winning managers because they have something tangible to lose.
Anthony Barry?
@GabSutton@TheSkyBlueHub Luton bid £10m for Kone in the January and after largely goalless months under Dodds we could only get £3m for him when QPR took him
@GabSutton@TheSkyBlueHub My only argument against this is that forgetting the lack of motivational skills, man-management and tactical nous, he also didn't improve any of our players on the grass and arguably made them considerably worse (2pts off top when he joined vs 27pts off at end of season)
@jonwheatleyrb1 Took him ages to notice Leclerc crashing as well. Suddenly there was only one big red car following the Merc rather than two, but he somehow missed it completely!
My reaction to Keir Starmer's last ditch press conference - an unsurprising reaction but possibly a helpful one (at least to those who, like me, consider him an abysmal PM).
Like many, I approached Keir Starmer's prime ministership with deep-seated pessimism, my expectations already set at rock bottom. Yet, I confess: I failed to foresee the clinical precision with which he and his inner cabal would sabotage their own administration and scar Britain.
The crux of their debacle lay, first, in a distinctly dictatorial, authoritarian reflex. And second—crucially—in a seething contempt for those who lent them their votes, while simultaneously performing a grotesque pantomime of flattery toward those who never would, and never will, support them.
Having exorcised from the Labour Party its most authentic voices—people of unimpeachable integrity, such as Ken Loach and Jeremy Corbyn, a purge that eluded even Tony Blair’s repertoire—Starmer embarked on a rampage:
He slashed disability benefits; armed and fed intelligence to the Israeli government as it executed genocide in Gaza; channeled his own inner Farage, perhaps his inner Enoch Powell, to vilify migrants and treat refugees as vermin; gutted international aid to masquerade as a defender of defence spending; bulldozed wildlife and their habitats; unveiled a new lexicon of draconian anti-protest laws; left trans people suspended in legal limbo; clung with religious fervour to absurd, socially ruinous fiscal rules; allowed Rachel Reeves to squander £100 billion covering the Bank of England’s outrageous and wholly unnecessary Quantitative Tightening losses—a gift that keeps giving to the City’s banks—while imposing yet another round of austerity on government departments and public services.
Once the great hope of the downtrodden, Starmer’s Labour has become the villain - the genuinely nasty party.
Once a human rights lawyer, he has single-handedly plunged Britain into a shoddy, incompetent authoritarianism.
