Nick Cave-

 

 

This is the only song of theirs I can even vaguely tolerate.

 

 

if you tolerate this...

Of course not, you'd have to be insane to think that's an option.

So they're telling us he's going to turn out shit?

Bellingham and Xabi the only positive stories there.

I think bringing back Edwards is an example of continuity that makes sense. The guy was at the club during a successful period and we can use that experience. 

 

O'Neil seems well regarded, but what's the upside? The style of football isn't amazing, the results are ok, he's been at the club before. That just seems like a textbook middling candidate.

 

People like De Zerbi and Motta should be way above someone like O'Neil because they are the rare managers who have their own ideas. The upside is just higher with a manager like that.

That's all fair enough. I think the upside is unknown other than an assumption of continued improvement. Not keen on De Zerbi at all, personally.

Continuity when you have the right person, like Klopp, not for the sake of it.

Yeah, the right person to have continuity from. As I said, I'm not advocating for the guy to be favourite for the job or anything. But also, not saying it's inconceivable to see there being a case for him being a candidate. 

40% win rate while being fucked by the refs at a club with no money to refresh the squad isn't a bad one (his first couple of seasons are better than Motta's in terms of results), he also never hides behind the players and is willing to speak his mind regarding the refs, haven't done any real thought about playstyles, although the personnel at Wolves obviously lend toward a fast counter and he seems to have gotten some patches of good form out of Hwang. I think there are plenty of meh to middling candidates out there.

and they say that the British have a poor food culture...

Quite like the cut of his jib here, confidence heading into the season, not arrogance after the fact.

Knows the club cant be an argument in 2024. 

Continuity is as relevant as It ever has been. I'm not presenting an argument for anyone. 

O'Neill will have worked with many of those kids directly, knows the club and how Jürgen worked. 

Same goes for ljinders.

The whole pedigree thing is just conceit at the end of the day. There are very few managers of pedigree that are available and that I'd want. Better to look for someone that will fit, rather than spend £15m to bring in a half-motivated Zidane. 

Mind you my view of Hodgson was basically, we need to make a change, I don't think he's the perfect fit but I kind of like the guy. So was massively wrong there too... he was a cunt, and I was distracted by hoping he pulled off a miracle with Fulham the season before.

Richard Hughes sacked him for Araoli last summer, at Bournemouth.

Maybe Edwards was the one recommending him in the first place. 

I like the guy, but would be a big step up for him. Would need a shit hot backroom staff to work with.

Fucking hell, I'm going back to ducking any speculation about this. After Xabi there's no one that really stands out and plenty of options that might not be a disaster but I don't have much more to add than that...

Frank also wouldn't be a terrible gamble, varied his style quite a lot around promotion, very smart guy, but would be highly reliant on the players buying in as I think he's quite a different character.

Howe can fuck off, that can't be a serious rumour...

I have a soft spot for BMG but they are a feast or famine club. Wouldn't base much on a poor season there. Seems a winning coach everywhere else he's been. 

Less sure about Slot, just never convinced by anyone that hasn't worked outside the Netherlands. But, same could be said about amorim.

It started when they let nick griffin on and he shat the bed. Justified all the "let them hang themselves" cretins who overlooked that the crackpots just needed to be more well prepared crackpots to fly under the radar.

Wow, what next. Are they going to get a microphone for VAR to help make sure Michael Oliver does his fucking job...

Fucking hell, stig ordered Ardja eggs. The state of it...

I remember snow patrol being a weird little band in the late 90s that some friends got us all into and was looking for Starfighter pilot, which was their big song at the time. Years later I saw them at Exeter cavern just before final straw came out and they were a totally different band to the one I remembered.

But thinking on it I think Run is an objectively better song, and a pretty damn good song in its own right, so don't think they qualify here.

Similar story with the fratellis, made some very good music, all overridden by that ear aids Chelsea dagger.

I was surprised when I heard that Chumbawumba had been going for years before Tubthumping. 

Brimful of Asha is similar to mmmbop in that sense. 

But would go with Our velocity, really didn't like them at all, but would usually end up dancing if this came on at the end of a uni night out 

Also, this might fit the bill for some. I actually really like the cribs, first two albums were shite, but mens needs was great and the album with Johnny marr was all right too. 

Hanson weren't one hit wonders?

Edit: 8 top 40 UK hits apparently, okay... I remember as having one follow up song and then disappearing from the face of the earth.

So has Michael oliver been back over to UAE to ref games recently? 

 

I thought the was only a one off. 

 

I've also just got around to watching the highlights of the forest vs Everton game, mainly to see the 3 penalty incidents forest have had a breakdown about. 

 

The first one, and the 3rd one, are as stone wall a penalty you'll ever see. The handball is debatable, but for me they'd not a penalty. 

 

But fucking hell, the other two are as clear as day aren't they. 

 

 

No, that's the original one. Only really takes one...

How can you stand up without the butterly effect?

 

I hover with significant menace, like the Los Angeles mother ship from V.

It's all about having a level of poise, awareness and coordination that sit down wipers can only dream of. 

And a foot on the side of the bath.

If anyone needs reminding. The minister that has overseen the pro league governance is also mansour's brother.

Re the last line, it's only really now that the decisions can be scrutinised. I'd say it might have had an effect. I also think the Doku incident was the real turning point of our season. 

It's the Andy Ngo tactic. Go to a protest and antagonist enough people until someone snaps back and then post the excerpt on social media to cry about how antifa are all violent thugs.

The police just got in the way.

As part of research, or continued for kids already on them.  
 

Edit - if the research says they are either unsafe or ineffective what would be your reaction to them being prescribed without evidence? 

I wouldn't expect them to be on offer at that point to any new patients. Not sure about existing ones.
