    Every American I've known that has come to the UK, has their mind blown by the NHS. They were led to believe by their politicians that universal health care is the devil. And they come here and realise how f**king amazing it is (despite the NHS not being perfect), that if you need medical you can get it, without having to worry about being able to pay for it.
  2. Probably not, but no team will win the Championship playing horrible, long ball, direct football. There's too many managers out there now, that can set up a team to counteract that style.
  3. I'm ignoring the Oscars this year because Julian Dennison did not win Best Supporting Actor for Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
  4. Whatever you feel about Corbyn, I will tell you this. Labour will definitely never win an election with John McDonnell as Shadow Chancellor.
  5. It amazes me how many pundits are shocked that Leicester are struggling so this year. I called it last year and got mocked for it. Any team that doesn't have the huge squads of the sky four, have always struggled in league when competing in Europe. The demands of the extra games and the travel, would clearly take demands on a Leicester squad that was incredibly lucky with injuries last season. Couple that with the draining high tempo they played, it was always going to be a struggle. Added to this, losing players, and heads turned by bigger clubs. It was never with the best will in the world going to be anywhere near a repeat season for Leceister. Many, considered successful, premier league managers have lost their jobs in their first year of European football. No professional pundit should be surprised that this one happened either.
  6. Really needs to shift the plot along a bit now, though.
  7. I saw an advert for this on the telly earlier (the switch 1-2 game) and it looked so bad I actually thought it was a parody. I think it was the part with a mini game of shaking up coke bottles, that did it.
  8. So Bruce has learnt something from all those years with Ferguson.
  9. Three wide midfielders and two fullbacks, again no idea how we're going to set up.
  10. That would be the most unbelievably stupid thing ever, and I don't believe it for one minute.
  11. If UKIP can't win a by-election in Brexit Britain in the constituency that vote the most for Brexit, then what is the point of them?
  12. I can't see there is any way Xia won't go for a 'name'. If he wants to be building himself a profile in China, he is not going to be appointing someone as low profile as Dean Smith.
  13. Everytime that article got posted before he was appointed it drew huge criticism, but it is almost a direct description of all the problems he's having here.

    But there was only 9000 people, more than that turn up to watch Villa every week. If Villa can get a better turn out than Trump, what does that tell you.
  15. Setting that bar, the only person doing worse at the moment is Claudio Ranieri.
  16. Maybe it was like the movie Twins, but we got the Danny Devito.
  17. Opposition manager : "seriously lads, just punt everything down the left wing."
  18. Hutton is a better fullback than Micah Richards. That is actually how bad Richards is. If Richards plays, we will not win.
  19. That'd be a nice start though.

    Zaphod was twice the president Trump is.

    There is a serious problem in America with educational standards and mental health care. That is all I can conclude from this and just browsing through the social media linked with Pro-Trump. People absolutely 100% that he has not lied about anything, even the Electoral college figures, despite complete empirical evidence to the contrary. But whilst on education, Trump went to Kew-Forest private school, it charges fees of up to $37000, how can you look at Trump and send your kids there? Let alone pay for that education.

    I thought it was supposed to be a whimper?

    This press conference is basically the political version of letting Father Dougal do a funeral.
