@BoxingShrew And absolutely no one in USA gives a fuck ! It’s just a show of strength for Dana. He knows Wembley has a curfew due to locals so there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to get round that
I’ve fallen out of love with Football.
I’m just watching athletes perform in systems which is fucking BORING, it’s like we’ve handed the beautiful game over to Nerds and the Weak and they’ve ruined it…
I miss:
• Midfield Battles.
• Creativity.
• Dribbling.
• Characters.
• Physicality.
• Passion.
• Masculinity.
I feel all the above are missing and today’s game can be summed up by Arsenal, the most boring team in PL history. Only Manchester United under Michael Carrick are trying to give us old school entertainment and save the beloved game. Apart from that I’d rather watch Netflix…
@liam_lightowler Same as last season , he has his fav and he will run them into ground rather than use full squad ! Okafo DCL doesn’t work , Longstaff was playing well till inj offers far more than gruev !
@liam_lightowler Truth is Liam they do t have the funds. They don’t have the investors. They are taking a massive gamble as if we do stay up they will get more investment and then sell for a big profit further down line
@VinnyP_MOT You genuinely believe in the last 5 months they have identified only one player in the entire world worth signing with a budget of 40 million ??? No one else who would do a great job ?
We used to have lots of places in the UK where you could get most of what you needed within 15 minutes walk: school, GP, grocer, butcher, church, pub, children's playground, sports club.
We called them "towns" and "villages".
Then along came central and local government.
They encouraged large chains to build out of town supermarkets, forcing town centre butchers and grocers and fishmongers out of business.
They planted acres of new housing around towns and villages, with no facilities, and too far away from town centres for people to walk there. And they sold off sports grounds and playgrounds for more housing.
They built centralised "superhospitals", moving patient care away from their local neighbourhood, while running down the GP service and replacing it with call centres and "apps".
They raised business rates and car park prices in town centres, and installed lots of bike lanes and "traffic calming", thereby narrowing roads and causing more traffic congestion, reducing footfall, and sending town centre shops out of business.
They closed pubs, playgrounds, sports clubs, churches to save us all from a *checks notes* deadly respiratory virus.
And now what do they want to do?
They want to recreate those 15 minute communities that we used to have in small towns and villages, but in bigger towns and cities instead. Only they're not doing it by encouraging small businesses to open neighbourhood stores, or reducing local business rates, or decentralising the NHS, ensuring we can all live in that same 15 minute paradise.
No, they're doing it by installing traffic filters and CCTV and enforcement infrastructure and fines. All stick and no carrot. Creating new inner city ghettos.
There is seemingly no situation which central and local government cannot make worse.
@liam_lightowler Everybody knew that clubs were going to come in for him last few days of window ! If we had offered the 40m
Last week which is what they were asking then we probs would have got him !! Always feels like hard work with these lot
