  1. Yes fair point. I guess the scouting networks are a lot more developed in Europe now.
  2. He's a good player, just joined us at the wrong time unfortunately. We were totally rudderless and disorganised and in no state to bed in a new player from the French leagues.
  3. Ferguson used to spend huge money as well. The fee for Rio Ferdinand alone would still be considered big money today, £30m for a young defender nearly 15 years ago.
  4. You guys haven't actually left the EU yet. Just talk of it has devalued the £. The whole Armageddon scenario was based around the premise that Cameron would enact Artical 50 the day after the vote. As it happened he just threw his arms up in the air and said 'this is all too difficult' and nothing has happened since.
  5. My guess is that he wants to get him match fit for when our entire forward line leaves for Africa.
  6. Having a tactic to 'get a goal' is a lot easier said than done.
  7. Our home form is sound but our away form is still not promotion quality.
  8. I believe there are 7 electoral collage voters who have come out as 'faithless electors' so far, though oddly enogh the first 6 were in democrate states saying they would vote for a different republican as a protest vote when they were supposed to be voting for Hillary. Such a bizarre system yet many Americans genuinely seem to think the rest of the world sees their system as some sort of a shining beacon for other countries.
  9. I wasn't expecting us to go undefeated for the whole season under Bruce and losing away to a promotion rival after a 7 game run is probably par for the course for a promotion push. We are still on track for our goals in my opinion.
  10. I think Baker would have been marking the striker, Elphick had lost his man in both goals.
  11. A frustrating game away to a promotion rival. I think Baker instead of Elphick and we would have kept a clean sheet. Oh well, the unbeaten run had to come to an end eventually, it is annoying that it is always the TV game though.
  12. Leeds will be in the mix for promotion at the end of the season.
  13. He was not standing on his line, he was on the six yard line. He only took a step and a half forward to get to the header, he wasn't going to run backwards away from it. I think the defender should have been marking goal side.
  14. Gestede has cleared a couple of their set pieces. His main value has been the extra height at the back rather than being a threat up front.
  15. As I said when he was hired, if he earns us promotion we are not going to turn around and sack him for that. He will have earned his chance to take the first season.
  16. I think there are a number of people who are anti globalisation and the homogenisation it brings. I am not sure if that totally explains the anti cultural appropriation thing but it probably feeds into it. I'm with you though, share the best bits of everyone's culture and we will live in the best possible world IMO.
  17. We are going to rue not scoring with all this pressure
  18. Hilariously he declined the role because he "feels he has no government experience". Presumably he thought he had enough experience to run for president but not actually work for the presidents administration...
  19. International managers want the full two weeks to work with their squads.
  20. The idea of a representative democracy is that we elect people whose full time job it is is to study and debate issues then come to a decision on our behalf. With direct democracy every voter has to be across every issue before making a decision. People don't have time to become as informed on issues as a person whose full time job is to do just that. In addition we have the very unreliable internet to get a lot of our information from. Direct democracy is a bad way to try to run a country.
  21. It's always white people who say "Don't overreact, it's not going to be that bad" when stuff like this happens.
