The Guardian has about faced a bit in the fall out which is great news. They're really being hammered for identity politics now and it's forcing some actual analysis rather than agenda driven nonsense. Still though, them getting on board with Trump is something I'm not sure I can imagine in any sort of scenario.
-
Which bit? the bit about him not being good? At the very base level (not taking his actual politics into consideration), he's reneging on certain pre-election promises already by the sounds of it, doesn't have a particularly organised transition team (suggesting he didn't intend or plan to win), doesn't understand diplomacy to any great degree (although I can see that being a plus also) and seems unkeen on the idea of fully committing to the job. That leads me to think at best that he has no real plan for what to do with the political system he has just disrupted. Therefore, he'll be led by people in the background like Bannon. I'm undecided on Bannon, but it really could go either way with him and essentially renders Trump a puppet. A truly lasting change would be more likely to come about as a result of someone who fervently believes in what he or she has just been elected for, not what we appear to be getting with Trump... Do you think he looks sincere?

Poor guy. Although ffs, how drunk would you have to be... -
Hang on, I thought the idea was that Trump was a disruptive force in politics, but ultimately one that we didn't really think was going to be a 'good president'? I can see the advantages of him being where he is, but I'm not looking forward to the next four years Darkest before the dawn and all that.

Cheers Did Papa Lazaru (who I note doesn't post here anymore) ever live that down?

Ah THAT one. Yeah I've seen that before Fair enough

I couldn't find it based on a few slices of the title but fair enough

Agree, 3-0 for me as well.

Alan Pardew - Poltroon sacked by a forrin team

I was 6 months into my working life back in 2009 ffs. -
You're enjoying these thread titles too much...

I have a feeling this might be the case

2009 is fucking ages ago by the way, it's a wildly different world To be honest, 2015 is starting to look fucking ages ago based on how the world is changing... -
This is a fair point, but unless you're there, how do you know he's doing this if the camera isn't following it...? I can quite readily believe it fwiw, I think Perez is worth having in the team personally - he does score after all. The only question for me is whether or not Mitro would score more.
-
Is Tiote in the squad? Is he still alive, even?
-
To add to this, it actually gives them more credibility this way around. If they kept it going he could point to all negative reporting as part of a lasting agenda - with this, they can set out that they've focused only on what he has done since being in power. I dunno, I don't think the media establishment are going to go down without a fight on this HF. They're loyal to the centre, not the right.
-
This is a fair point I guess but he'll need them too... how else will he get his message across?
-
They did that before this talk though. And I thought the gist was that they'd put it back if appropriate?
-
This has shades of the Ben Arfa forum split...
-
Fucking hell Not convinced the media is going to stand for that tbh.
-
Oh god... That sounds plausible.

As a silver lining, I hope this is all very unpleasant for May.

As you say, I don't think he'd go to them. Although apparently a year ago he was 'within 3 hours' of signing for them, so he's clearly given it thought before. It's actually hard to imagine who Rafa might leave us for, given his supposed love of projects. I could see him leaving for another project when he feels he's taken us as far as he can, but it's not like he needs the ego boost of moving to one of the top teams. Would he go somewhere like Arsenal?
