On the other side of this Brexit stuff mind, it's starting to sound as though we have a negotiating position/plan. It's very negative, but that stuff about corp. tax, the US deal and so on are the most coherent things that have been said.

Fair points I guess, their recruitment has been questionable for some time. Begiristain or whatever his name is doesn't seem to be all that good at picking players.

You're suggesting the only possibility is that he doesn't see it intellectually though. The other, more likely scenario, is that he's too much of a purist, too stubborn, to actually want to adapt. Hence the situation with Bravo and Hart.

I'm prepared to accept that he's past his peak or something rather than just 'never having been any good' which is rather preposterous. He just doesn't look like he enjoys it tbf. Plus, Tiki Taka was never going to be improved post-Barcelona. He'll never work with a team of players that good again. The whole point of moving on is surely to adapt and change your outlook, not attempt to recreate it at every turn.

A decent number of City fans on Bluemoon suggesting that they should bring Mancini back

Something about how something that happened to Bravo was a foul anywhere but England - standard whinging really.

Was that self deprecating humour or a total lack of self awareness... I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt but it's close.

Not looking good for him. The PL is simply a more competitive league than what he's used to - that may well be because the teams in it share a similar level of shiteness, but either way, that's his big problem.

Firstly, how on earth do they know that. Secondly, it'd be fucking stupid unless it has Benitez's blessing. Unless Ashley thinks that once we're back up this is all just a formality again.

Really? Then I must have picked a shotgun instead. I'll check when I'm next on. And sure I'll see if I can get on, have a good session either way!

No I do mean the one that becomes available at lvl 10 actually... I dont pay attention to names! I'm gonna be playing some rocket league tonight but I'll see you over the next couple of days I'm sure!

I like the starter gun for support but I'm only rank 1. For Assault I choose the lvl 10 shotgun.

I can probably play for a bit - might be on and off this evening though.

Murphy did score today mind... Not sure we're totally screwed, looks capable enough.

Brighton still have a game in hand but we're looking ok based on today's results. As an aside to us though, wtf happened to Bristol? Lost 5 on the bounce and now inbound to the relegation places. Weren't they up with us earlier in the season? Edit - Villa clearly not coming up this year either, despite the Bruce revolution.

Condolences mate.

Superb article from Marina Hyde about the failing of the press to hold Trump to account: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/13/trump-master-media-manipulator-malarial-press-conference-wildlife

He did back McClaren, mind. I actually think that two factors are combining to improve him - 1 is that his dumbass philosophy failed and so he'll now have to approach them game in the same way others do, and 2 is that I actually think he needs positive PR at the moment and may well do for a few years. We'd allow him that were we successful.

Maybe it's an age thing, but do you guys not find you can meet people and have drinks during the week? Most of my socialising is mid week these days. After work drinks etc.

If you haven't played online video games while drunk, you've not lived.

Exactly. Mental not to do it.

Worth it. You can see people during the week and ffs you get loads of free time.

The conversation options can be pretty fucking restrictive tbf.
