  1. Interestingly I think the complete opposite. He's an absolute awful manager, and despite us having an off day, and nerves after Stevenage, our elite manager made us win the game at VP. We nicked a goal early on, and from 20-45 minutes we fell into the Leeds trap of chaos football (when they should have scored), all instigated by an energetic midfield and Marsh jumping up and down like college cheerleader. We fell into the chaos trap with midfield scraps and quick tempo which is when they look to break away and score. They only know and are coached into 1 way of football. Emery realised this and shut it down second half and we were fairly comfortable until Bamford nicked a goal after the foul on Young, and even after that they didn't look like scoring.
  2. As one with Russian, Lithuanian and Ukranian relatives, the problem with "full scale" Nato assistance means Putin will be proved right with his anti west retoric, therefore making a 1,000,0000 - 3,000,0000 mobilisation very plausible. (On a separate note, expect some sort of false flag attack on Moscow, St Petersburg etc) In the main Russians are extremely patriotic and have been fed anti-west nonsense all their lives via heavily controlled state sponsored TV. Videos of American Abrams tanks rolling into Crimea and/or Russia itself would cause a further loss of life on an almost unimaginable scale (on both sides).
  3. We just signed a striker? Im not a mathematician but 1 + 1 = 2
  4. Ings was purely a "keep the fans happy" signing. We were losing Grealish, and getting a proven premier league goalscorer kept a bit of positivity. The fact he didnt fit into the team in any way was not Purslows problem at all, he just palmed that over to Dean Smith, who also had no idea how to play him.
  5. Getting a lot of grief for this, but i'm actually quite pleased we are selling Ings. He's a good striker, but mainly sitting on the bench and picking up a big wage whilst losing any resale value. Means we are moving into the next phase of our strategy now we are consolidated in the premier league and removed the Apprentice manager. We need to make business led decisions in some cases, and with Ings going to be 31 in the summer with 1 year on his large contract, selling him for a book price profit is good for us. We have replaced him with player who is 10 years younger, on 3rd of the wages, who will most likely have a decent resell value and suits Emerys style. We can't be getting the likes of Kamara, Guendouzi, Thuram etc in with 7 x 30 year old players on high wages and no resale value. We don't have that commercial income (yet) to, that's how you end up like Everton.

    Wanted by Benfica and United. Done well here. Anyone Benfica buys is immediately worth 80 million in 2 years.
  7. We can be sponsored by Pornhub if they stop charging £50 quid a ticket for Leicester at home
  8. Watched a bit of Marseille this season and last due to my friend being a fan. For me he comes across as energetic and the ideal box to box runner for Kamara's class and athleticism and Luiz guile. Altogether the 3 of them could be a very effective midfield combo with each complimenting the other.
  9. USA in particular would love this war to go on forever. They could give Ukraine enough firepower to retake their land tomorrow. They are giving Ukraine older 1990's weapons, then paying off their military machine to build newer hi-tech weapons. They are modernising their army & spending more on their "defence" than ever whilst having no dead American Soliders on TV, or innocent children being droned in the middle east. All whilst completely crippling a former superpower. It's literally perfect for them. The longer the better.
  10. I can only talk from my family and friends in Lithuania. 75+ = Russian 50+ = Basically Russian <40 = Speak Lithuanian + English, Hate Russian and Putin 40-50 are probably more confused than a Small Heath fan at their sisters wedding.
  11. Everyone is technically of Russian Origin if over the age of 40. It was one big happy soviet family! Maternal side is Russian Origin (her nan moved during WW2) - Despite only living in Lithuania my mother in law is 100 percent "russian", speaks russian, watches russian TV etc. They are angry with me for learning Lithuanian. Her dad is Lithuanian / Polish by decent but is 100 percent Russian politically, speaks russian and despite living in Lithuania holds a distain for the european side of things. All the younger generation are 100 percent Lithuanian / European and anti Russia.
  12. Generally speaking, it's the other way round. In Lithuania / Latvia / Estonia and parts of Ukraine. Older than 45 - remember the soviet union, speak Russian only take in Russian TV / propaganda Younger than 45 - Tend not to speak Russian, all speak English, more European and definitely anti Russia. My Wife has cousins in Ukraine - the younger ones were fighting, the older ones were quite pleased at the though of Soviet Rule again. Her parents are 100% pro Russia and would welcome Russian rule in Lithuania for example.
  13. Crazy thought - Maybe, just maybe one of the most successful billionaires and serial entrepreneurs in the world knows what he is doing.
  14. Xavi Iniesta (even though they finished up about 2015/16) Sergio Ramos (4 x CL + WC + Euros + Leagues)
  15. Remember driving through Arizona on along drive from Vegas . We went into a retail park / Home Depot, just to have a break and look around. In the queue front of us 4/5 people had open carry pistols.... Imagine needing to take your gun to B&Q.
  16. I agree with regards to Women's rights and that's enforceable as that mainly applies to the Arab world, but throwing LGBT rights in there is just impossible and will never work for the majority of the world at this moment. Hopefully that will change in the future. There's probably more religions / people on the planet who oppose gay marriage / LGBT rights than support it. It's not just the Arab world, its the vast majority of Africa, a lot of South America, India and Russia. China is making progress but still far behind. As crazy we think some of their laws are disallowing it, the majority of the world think it's absolutely insane we actively push and promote it. This is only an issue for a handful of countries in the world cup.
  17. Rangers fans warned us, Gerrards whole coaching was all Michael Beale. I can't see them taking Gerrard back without a serious number 2.

    Agreed. Good manager and that team is far too good to go down.
  19. Save the humans. Shoot down anything north of Kherson and anything west of Dnipro. It will also protect innocent citizens in Kyiv from being bombed every week.

    Bullying

    To be honest, if 2 older boys are putting sharp objects into my step daughters eye, potentially causing her to lose her eyesight, then they deserve "a good hiding". It's stopped now, however the father decided to deal with his children is his problem. My priority is my step daughter who is now no longer being targeted in a dangerous manner.

    Bullying

    Do you mean hiding from your kids or do you take everything literally? They were disciplined, and too right. They could have took her eye out.

    Bullying

    My step daughter was being bullied by 2 boys. It got to the stage where one child held her arms behind her back, another put the end of a broom against her eye. The children were "let off" as they claimed by step daughter made a comment which could have been construed as racist. I snapped at the headteacher who did NOTHING. As she was brought up in Leicester, this is not her (there's more children of colour in her school that white kids) and she didn't even understand how the thing she was accused of saying could be considered racist until I explained. Anyways, all I did was pick her up from school, ask her to point out the children, Fortunately one was being picked up by their mother who didn't seem too bothered by the whole thing when I mentioned it. Fortunately, the following Friday a dad picked them up. A quick man to man conversation sorted the thing out, and the kids were given an absolute battering by their father and they have left her alone since. In short. The kids may be ****, just go to the parents who are 9/10 are reasonable people. EDIT: Battering = A good telling off (for those who take every comment literally).
  23. Expectation creeping into the crowd. They were deadly silent until the penalty against us.
  24. Yes - with the first child. When my youngest went to Nursery I was unwell for a solid 9 months until I built up my intolerance. My second child i've been fine.
  25. Ronaldo is / has been a winner over the last 10-15 years. Man U have completely regressed into a mid table team and won nothing. Although he's annoying ****, most of what he says has substance.
