  1. I was was of the ones who didn't want Randy and knew this would happen all along....
  2. I have no doubt that racism still exists within the sport and decisions in some places I do not think it is as wide spread as some suggest (naive perhaps). I did not witness nor have I peersonally experienced racism against me in the way Barnes did and this may now play a part in the way he perceives football and life in general which is maybe understandable. However as two of the biggest commentators on black inequality are Sol Cambell who can't be arsed to go do some lower league coaching and Barnes who has shown himself to be a poor manager in his appointments I take what they say with a fist of salt. The playing ratio of black players to White is not 50 50 so why expect the mangers to not reflect that demographic andI think the Rooney rule is just positive discrimination.

    Do you read?

    Was just about to post that I got this for my train down today, comes highly rated by a friend and also is historically accurate enough to reignite my interest in the culture aspects of the nazis and hitler. While poking fun at one of the worlds worst dictators and modern culture. Got some funny looks on the train as the front page is a silhouette of Hitlers hair and the title his mustache.
  4. Don't know the last time I watched Wrestlemania but that title fight was top draw, Wyatt Undertaker was ambling pace and the Rusev character is so out dated. a slight move away from the PG crap of the last 10 years. hopefully the start of a new era Orton, Wyatt, Zigler, Bryan, Lesnar, Rollins and Reigns have the making of a good core even if they've all been around a while. Glad they are putting some better wrestlers into the lower belts it's boring when it's all about one belt. They need to break Cenas character to get the best out of him and I don't get the hype about Bryan.
  5. Jores is a bit like Jesus. Jores will save us.
  6. Anyone watching The Blacklist with James Spader in it? Fairly decent watching.
  7. I cant wait until I get my first dog. I absolutely love animals and havnt had a dog since the family one when I was about 4. Massive commitment as Im fully aware they become a part of the family not just a pet. Will hopefully be July time when I get back from holiday.
  8. Until Messi and Ronaldo are deep into their 30s will other players be able to challenge them for the Ballon Dor. Zlatan was at their level in a different way but hes now on the decline. Then theres another group of players in Neymar, Bale, Aguero, Sanchez, Ribery, Robben, Reus and Suarez who if the other two wernt around would be continually be in the battle. Ozil is certainly capable, hes getting to his best at the moment, he is like a ghost when at his best popping up everywhere, his technical ability sometimes make him seem lazy. Hed get more assists for Arsenal if their build up play didnt take them so close to the goal he is fantastic in a quick attack. However a playmaker that dosnt score alot of goals will never win the big prize.
  9. Ings will be the hot property that Spurs and Liverpool will be fighting it out for with the loser going for Austin even if they arnt quite similar players. Maybe throw in Jay Rodriguez if he can prove any fitness before the end of the season. Cant imagine we will have enough money for any of them.
  10. Watched hunger games part 1 and other than a nicely sung song by Jenn Lawrence which didn't have a much of a relevance to what was happening it was pants.
  11. Thinkthe subs will be Gil and Grealish for Sinclair and zog
  12. Hopefully shelvey is scared of the Sanchez barnet
  13. I'd like to hear gold by spandau ballet
  14. They are first to everything need to wake up
  15. Not started too quickly. Swansea looking for that through ball and over the top of our high line. Shelves is certainly capable of giving us a bad day.
  16. Lets just start all over again, wheres Mcgregor when you need him.
  17. Why would they remake Scarface? they can only **** it up
  18. What? Poyet is a good example of what we hope Sherwood will do to our season this season regardless of how he did it. The point is that look how irrelevant Poyets Sunderland turn around last season is too this season. Made in Aston will be judging him after a full Season or atleast hope that he gets to complete it as if he dosnt saving us will mean **** **** all by then.

    Today some clearing in the woods made me spill milk all over myself and workplace then he started laughing at me. Word removed.
  20. Although Im inclined to agree with the point and admittedly I cant remember what I though of Poyet at the time something feels different about Sherwood and co. Whether its just because I cant remember what it felt like when we sacked a manager during the season and we got a "bounce" or Im intoxicated because of the positivity coming from manager, players and fans alike.
  21. Well as any takeover would be purchasing off Randy, talk about him is relevant. The state of the club is something that randy is responsible for and something buyers will be considering in their decision making.
  22. I'm not so sure. He's been far to happy to gamble with the long term future of this club with the way we've been run the past few years. I used to think like you but i've lost faith that he will care about anything but how much money he can recoup once the club is sold. I think he is now after his money. But I actually think the "cleansing" of the clubs big earners has been of benefit to the club. I think he has lost his good intention but in doing what he has been doing has actually left us financially in a ok place in terms of players wages. Our squad isnt terrible and the average wage and age of the squad must look good to an investor. Lerner saved us from Doug had his go and then will leave us in a position with a younger squad, with a lower wage, a CEO who seems to know what he is doing and is modernising the club, an up and coming manager (hopefully) and a bumper new TV deal on the way. Not a bad place to be if your capable of forgetting how we got there over the last 4/5 years.
