Generic small time football blather thread 2015/16

This seems like it's going to rumble on to cover a few ex pros, the stuff that went on at Crewe with Barry Bennell. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/nov/22/steve-walters-andy-woodward-crewe-alexandra Seems like child abuse was rampant through most circles a few decades ago, given everything we seem to be turning up these days... -
Except Bannon. But otherwise yes, I can see where you're coming from more clearly now.

Fuck off Boris. I honestly can't believe how much I despise that guy. Unbelievable that May has put him in the position she has.

That probably is the correct response here tbf.

Do you really think that's what'll happen? It'll totally challenge my view of what the establishment is if so; which would be really interesting tbf. We'll see I guess.

I struggle to speak with -some- of them. It's not the kind of business where being management means people are scared of you or anything so I get on with quite a few people, even outside of work - the problem is that I tend to get sat next to the socially awkward graduate who has just left uni and struggles to look up from their dinner plate.

Have to admit I'm a little curious!

That seems a bit off...?

Going to the Botanist with work this year. I find Christmas parties a bit of a nuisance since I'm the only member of management young enough to be considered capable of staying out long enough for everyone to be happy, which means I have to see the whole thing through, pretty much. Also depends on who you get sat next to at dinner, some of the people I work with are very quiet and socially awkward, which is fine but a bit of a challenge if you're wanting to enjoy yourself.

Wow. Although quite why PSG feel they're worthy of any manner of respect from British authorities over and above any other institution is another matter altogether. I can see why they're put out but it sounds like they knew this was on the cards for the past 6 days. -
:lol: Fucking hell.

Probably, on this occasion.

No, not really. My point is that the centre left is doing no better anywhere else. Not that Corbyn is working wonders.
-
I'm just saying a PLP led Labour party would potentially be doing no better...
-
I'm just saying that the indications based on elsewhere in Europe suggest they'd be doing just as badly with a New Labourite in charge.
-
Fair point I suppose. Is the Championship a pacier league though? I could see it being more physical... not sure about pacier...
-
I'm looking for any positives at all, dammit
-
Interestingly, I read earlier that Corbyn's Labour are polling better than most other socially democratic parties in Europe. The ones who believe in Blair's 'third way'. So y'know, Labour could be doing worse, believe it or not.
-
True. Could be interesting. Sarko just lost on an immigration ticket though, so maybe it isn't the main issue for them.

Such an approach limits their impact though. If they just wanted to put journalism out there you'd be right, but they have an agenda to spread - they need visibility for that.

Isn't the PL known for physicality and pace...?

It depends who you think holds the power really. Trump will be president but I think he's got some way to go to properly overthrow the established order (if he even wants to). I'd imagine the media would remain with the establishment.
