Howay

When Clarkson was king and Gray could put his microphone in dodgy places so the lass that adjusts it feels uncomfortable.

Things were much simpler back then, you could crack rape jokes on tv as well as put your feet up on the table and talk of smashing back doors in.

Aye, I mean who knows really. I just have a hard time thinking a bloke like him cares too much about 'the working man', maybe he does, I guess we'll find out.

Yeah I get your point now, the only question really would be how much do legal immigrants affect that type of work? are there loads coming over legally to work in blue-collar jobs in the middle of the country? I genuinely don't know, I know I'm focusing it on those people but they're the ones Trump really played to when he was remarking about these disillusioned workers and I'm just not convinced Trump, Bannon, Priebus, Guliani, etc really want to do anything for them (as I said above). I think his platform about immigration was primarily focused on illegals, particularly ones that break the law, he did mention things about tightening controls over visas etc so that will obviously lower legal immigrants. As I said above though I genuinely don't see Trump as the sort that wants to workforce to have real power. Yeah I mean I think that's the crux of Bannon, the public generally don't know much about the bloke, I don't know his personal views but as I say what he has done is facilitate that section of the population so take from that what you will (again I've no idea what it'll really mean regarding what he will do). It was easy money for him in reality, he spotted a gap in the market that things like Fox news just wasn't scratching and he pushed towards that, I think we see it as risky because we think it could be reputation damaging but honestly a lot of these blokes will just dust that off their shoulders and put it down to an investment not their views (as he has, or at least people on his behalf). Perhaps I am giving him too much slack myself and he got involved with them because he genuinely is a far right winger and believes a lot of the stuff people like Milo post (such as washing machines are the worst thing ever invented as it meant women had time to leave the house and get work and women aren't cut out for work), I think that is what most are thinking and what most are afraid of with him.

I also don't see Trump being the sort that would want to increase the power of the workforce, what I do see him doing is engaging in a lot of gray area type stuff that helps his businesses out, he's already apparently in danger of running foul of the emoluments clause in the constitution due to foreign diplomats staying at his hotel in Washington as they want to gain favour and wouldn't want to insult him by staying elsewhere (that's coming from George W. Bush's former ethical counsel ( I know)).

I think you're giving Bannon a bit too much slack, he didn't really give it all up to run Breitbart that was just another part of his career making money. He'd moved into the media/entertainment sector a long time ago and actually makes a shit ton of money from Seinfeld, he then joined the Breitbart board and then sort of took over it after the bloke running it died. I don't know what his views are because I think most of his Breitbart stuff is focused on making money from the far-right garnering clicks by being as outrageous as possible, what he does do however is facilitate these racists etc. I agree he didn't think he'd get this far politically, but I don't know if that makes him any more likely to want to do good, I think these type of guys get off on power as his weird comment about "Cheney, Darth Vader, the Devil, that's power" seemed to be. As for the industry stuff, that's what they ran on though, this idea that they would bring back manufacturing jobs because the blue-collar workers in the centre of the country are starved for work. I'm saying all of that is just hot air, chasing off immigrants really doesn't help any of them other than massage their racist side, as most of the illegal immigrants work cash in hand jobs that these people wouldn't dream of doing, let alone doing it for the money they'd get for it.

Perhaps, he's still an ex-GS I-banker mind and they're not really renowned for being that arsed about the working man. I get your point though he does seem a bit more into the idea than the politicians that pay it lip service. I do think he has Trumps ear, probably the most out of everyone, but they also have the fight of getting the house on their side as well. Either way though I just don't see them doing much if anything for 'the working man', how do you bring things like manufacturing back unless they do something drastic like slashing minimum wage? it's not like people want to pay $10k for an iPad.

That's what this forum looked like on deadline day as the bidding war between Spurs and Everton started for a bloke that can't kick a football.

Interesting, he's a smart bloke and it does seem he saw his opening and helped Trump get in. We'll just have to wait and see what they do but I still think it's complete and utter hot air with all their "working man" noise, they'll streamline taxes for Corporations, lower taxes for the rich, etc, I hope I'm wrong but I don't see Trump doing much to help anyone but himself and people like him. It's setting up to make NYC a total fucking nightmare as well, they're saying Melania is going to remain in Trump tower and he'll go back at least every weekend, meaning road blocks, military security etc in mid-town Manhattan, add to that JFK has to basically shut down their runways 15 minutes either side of Air Force One arriving. Residents in Trump tower are going to have to be put through airport level security check points , what a complete ball ache man.

£30m.

He's not get close to the Chelsea line up, he'd be a sub/reserve player for 6 month then join their legion of players out on loan. From a football standpoint staying is a total no brainer, the thing is does he want to improve and be the best he can be in his career or does he fancy being a multi millionaire 23 year old living in London, I'm sure the wages with an £18m transfer would be very high. I wouldn't blame him really as it's hard to say what you'd do in that position as you're not exactly objective, most players would have the self belief that they would go and win a starting spot.

Aye the Chronicle can fuck right off, the cowards were doing anything they could to back him in the hope he'd give them some exclusives. Palace fans can fuck off as well the hypocrites, they should back their manager as he got them top half or something once the same as they slaughtered us for turning on him after he once got us 5th. The best part of all this is that they paid money for the bloke now they can imagine how we felt when they took him from us, I hope it fucking crushes them and he remains in the job.

Dummett looks sloppy enough in this division tbh, he's not causing major problems but he loses his man/the ball in dangerous areas and it'll get exposed (as it did) in the PL, I've not got any problem with him remaining LB for the season (I would like to see Lazaar mind ) but we definitely need an upgrade for next season.

Agree with Dickie, he's a promising player and a leader in the side it would just be needless upheaval and we don't need the money. I really don't see why Chelsea would want him either btw, he's a promising enough player but I don't see him pushing CL football level anytime soon, if ever. He'll probably end up being a decent PL centre half which will be good for us.

Aye, tbh they only saw Gayle under the likes of Warnock, Holloway, Pulis, and Pardew, so I don't think anyone knows what he's actually capable of in the PL. His movement is good, the defenders may pick up on him a little better but there are plenty of average or poor defenders in the PL that he could exploit imo, a season of regular games and goals playing under Benitez will make him a different player to the one he was at Palace.

Very true.

Aye spot on tbh, mugs in comment sections were saying stuff like "he just went and got fake ones put in" but as you say the damage to his mouth area would be clear, it's not exactly easy to knock someones teeth out let alone knocking 4 out . He'd have serious bruising and cuts around his mouth, not to mention swelling etc. Plus him and Lascelles went over to the fans together after the match and were clearly joking with each other, I know you'd not be mad at him directly but if one of his mates knocked you out cold and 4 of your teeth came out I doubt you'd be happily joking about with him a week later.

Aye he's head and shoulders above anything in this league, and tbh more than half of the league above. I read an article interviewing Hayden and he was talking about the impact Rafa is having, he said the England U21 coaches are amazed at the difference they've seen in him which is mostly his reading of the game, apparently Hayden comes up with different answers to most when they give him on-field situations and ask what he would do. Hayden obviously said Wenger was quality too but he said Rafa is very vocal and like Wenger picks up on everything the players do, the planning is meticulous.

Agreed, the shove to the back was the closest thing to a pen. They'd have rightfully been frustrated if it had been given, as I would if it was against us but you see shoves like that given fairly often.

It's because they think a bloke having the ball blasted into his arm pit from two yards is a stone wall pen, where the fuck was he meant to have his arm? If his right arm was stuck to his side it would have hit him in the arm, never a pen and they have to ask themselves if it was given against them would they be ok with it.

2 years later he became absolute shite and a rip off as a free. They know loads about football that lot.

I read an article about Alli a while back and it was saying sometimes there are players better suited to the PL than the Championship, it's possible that Perez could be one of those tbh. The article was by Jenas iirc as he was saying he felt he was better suited to the PL himself and played better than he ever did in the Championship.

:lol: I'm fucking creased here, that last one about the tracky top man I thought I was the only one that clocked they share clothes.

Agreed, I'm just relieved he got the penalty 'shout' correct as that could have been a fucking nightmare.

I've already told our Lee to get on the teeth-gate issue.
