    What are American journalists and politicians doing? Could you imagine if someone like Milliband, hell even Cameron had done something like this? It would've finished them. I mean Labour got destroyed by our press when their leader ate a bacon sandwich awkawdly.

    I think we should all stop arguing and take a moment to remember the victims of The Bowling Green Massacre.
  3. Spot on, there must be plenty of other staff Bruce could've sent around if he was that concerned. And if there wasn't anyone at Villa he could trust to do it, then that would be an even bigger issue.

    People saying there wasn't the attention given to Obama's use of drone attacks, I can remember protest groups, a lot of condemnation and off hand at least two movies ('the good kill', and 'eye in the sky') about what a cluster***k it is.

    Ironically, Yiannopoulos will still be one of the first arrested when Trump's religious right wing supreme court picks, make homosexuality a crime.
  6. Steve Bruce currently has a better win ratio with us than at any other club he managed bar Palace (where he only had 11 games).
  7. That's not just baffling, it's moronic and incompetent.
  8. If you discount the poor tactics, questionable selections, players looking unmotivated, discipline issues, the inability to react and change up a game in play, and the defence looking completely disorganized, he does know how to get a team promoted.
  9. That surely can't be true? If so there can't be a worse record in the football league?
  10. But the sucess at Hull us what keeps getting reference as Bruce actually being good.
  11. So basically what we've done is the equivalent of appointing Pearson without Walsh, or Clough without Taylor, etc.
  12. Hey, let's not forget the 2001 intertoto cup.
  13. I'd say it was more akin to the ridiculous clamour to bring in another consistent failure as manager, and think it would go well.
  14. Who do you think we'll loan him to in six months time?
  15. I didn't necessarily mean it as a bad thing, it's a transfer tactic (just buying the performing players in from rival teams in your league) that has had teams ranging from Celtic, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid etc.. dominate their respective leagues for years.
  16. Are we just going to sign the top scoring Championship strikers every window now, until we go up?

    The Nazi's considered the Arabs and Muslim's a sub Aryan race aligned with the Jewish. When translating Mein Kampf into Arabic, Hitler omitted this from the 'racial ladder' descriptions. He knew he needed Arab nations support, so stoked and manipulated anti-colonialism in Arab nations , so they would take arms against the British and French. Many Muslims actually helped Jews escape Germany during the Holocaust. So no, it is no where near as simple as the Muslims sided with Hitler. As global politics are never that simple. I mean we don't ban the Italians and the Japanese.
  18. He has looked a much better player once he started getting game time, though. If we get money, then yes it's better, but agree a straight swap would be awful.
  19. I think Taylor is a decent leftback but that would be a terrible deal by us. Can see Ayew going all Adama on us, if he moved to Swansea.
  20. They wish they were as an accomplished politician as Palpatine.
  21. When he first came into the team, he looked to have a really good footballing brain, he seemed to see the right pass better than our other players. He also had a great touch a a good range of passing. He however lacked the legs and tenacity needed in midfield. Recently the footballing brain seems to have weakened and he still needs to improve his work rate on the pitch. This is all stuff that can be improved by attitude and hard work, the coaching staff should see through the day to day training whether they think Grealish has currently the right attitude, or is likely to change it, if he hasn't. We as fans, can only really speculate what he's like in his head, and that's the important thing the management have to be able to judge right.

    So just get Fox to report that millions of white Americans are dying because they can't get private health care. And that the only way to stop blonde children getting shot, is to ban guns completely.

    I think that Mexico should build the wall themselves, use Mexican workers and Mexican steel, creating zero American jobs. Then at the end, bill Trump for it.
