Seriously...? The Tories man...this iteration of them has to be, as I've said before, the least competent fucking administration in the developed world. By a fucking mile.

I dunno, it could be that there are several genuinely bad teams in play. Not written in stone that they'll need as many points as teams from previous seasons. And they were improving towards the end of Grayson's time, IMO.

Would love to see this. The guys in the videos above are at 2500 hours plus.

Can you image though. We'd have to wind the club up, it'd never get better than that.

Yeah but they can't just run along at the same pace they have, they need to improve if they want to avoid going down again. They need someone better than Grayson.

well played that journo.

Fucking idiots. I'm sorry like but for all we can justify their decision to vote leave, the wilful ignorance needs to be called out for what it is. Weapons grade muppetry.

Aye but it was all done by that point. Presumably feared a shitshow like the one currently unfolding from coming about. Doesn't seem to have done him much good in the end, anyway.

Looks like it'll be McCoist but I saw something on there about Coleman's odds dropping... surely he wouldn't fuck his career up with Sunderland...

You think? I think there's a fair chance the next war could be triggered simply by diplomatic abnormalities at the moment. Having said that, before Trump was on the scene my money was on water shortages in the Far East.

Well I've never listened to him talk about anything so if I do, it's just by coincidence. Looks fairly logical to me though.

Was talking more about geopolitical clout and influence than just banking. All the EU has to do is federalise and it'll have blown the doors off the US hegemony. Banking is only a small part of this, but the decline of London and NY in this sense is a microcosm of the wider trend.

Balance of power is shifting now anyway IMO, with or without banking centralised in NY and London. Europe is the only answer for the West, and we're heading the wrong way.

It's not so much the mind-games, although they're part of it. You can jump and do a somersault as you've probably noticed, but it times out after two seconds. So if you wait longer than that for the somersault, it doesn't trigger. The first guy got around this by taking the ball up to the ceiling and just 'falling' off it, so that he could trigger his somersault far later than the 2 seconds... and the flick so radically altered the trajectory of the shot, and with so little notice, that the keeper couldn't respond. But the precision needed to place the ball where he did, and himself just behind it simply be falling off the ceiling, was remarkable.

Yeah I think that might actually be the most subversively witty thing CT has ever posted

Although I think this one rivals it for technical skill:

This has been acclaimed as the best goal ever scored in RL I don't know how it looks to someone who hasn't played the game as much but it's fucking crazy. Skip to 34 seconds though.

Is pickford really the best we've got... he was a shambles last season.

Hope for our fan's sakes that we avoid Russia.

I've not watched us closely but this article from Barney Ronay makes me think we are https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/nov/14/neymar-magic-unable-to-dominate-brazil-england "In 6 hours and 40 minutes of football, we have a combined score of 2-0 - one of which was a penalty".

But we are, somehow, even more boring a team than under Hodgson.

Being totally honest though, I genuinely don't think I've ever cared less about an international football tournament.
