  1. I listened to Dan Carlin talk about it recently on a podcast and he said a lot of issue people take with Clinton is that for a couple that have been under the microscope for as long as they have (going back to his Governorship of Arkansas in the 80's) they seem to hang out in that gray area a lot, with the private server business, the lack of consistency with her statements of what the FBI said and what the FBI put out, the issue people take with the Clinton foundation, etc (there's also some pretty odd conspiracy theory stuff about the Clinton's in Arkansas). Fwiw I just view her as a normal politician, I do think she should properly be looked at mind as saying "well she's not as bad as Trump" shouldn't excuse any misdemeanors on her part but I think there is definitely an extra over-the-top quality to some of the flak she gets and it could be down to the fact she's a woman.
  2. From a little while ago but still class:
  3. And this one: "The Clinton machine is at the center of this power structure. We’ve seen this first hand in the WikiLeaks documents, in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends and her donors…" From Trump last week.
  4. Aye if you're meaning currently playing for them there's not really anyone, maybe Boro have the most at the minute? But I've no idea where their players started their careers I think a couple of their defenders are from their academy.
  5. Jill Stein is a complete fucking crank in all btw, that may be right what she quoted but she's still bonkers.
  6. I would say Southampton for sure, even the lads they've had come through the past 18 month like Harrison Reed and Matt Targett look like okay players. Besides them no one really is with any consistency. A lot of the current England internationals are from lower league sides academies like Alli, Hart, Walker, Rose, Lallana/Oxlade-Chamberlain/Walcott (at the time anyway), Jagielka, Stones, Smalling.
  7. He has also basically managed the strongest (or at least top 2/3) club in whatever division he has been in his whole career, I'd say their Porto/Valencia stints were similar in that they inherited extremely talented young squads and they both did very well bringing them on but I don't think Mourinho has ever had a job like Rafa's Liverpool one. Mourinho has always had a very clear cycle, comes in changes the culture, gets them winning and brings in players at the top of their game (Porto aside), has a very successful stint and then proceeds to fall out with everyone before leaving. I don't think a club like us are really set up for that successful stint, of course I think he'd do a job here whatever we think of him he's a talented manager but I just think Rafa is a better fit. I also much prefer Benitez as a bloke, I just feel wherever Mourinho is it's about him but Benitez is really appreciative of the fans and the club. I've no idea why Mourinho is struggling at Man Utd but whatever happens I hope it's shit for Man Utd, he has such an arrogance to him and it's one of those things where when everyone is on your side it's a real asset but the minute there's a wavering of support it works against the team sort of like Hazard's massive downturn in form last season.
  8. I'd agree on Ritchie, Shelvey and Hayden. I think he's trying to get Gayle confidence as he clearly sees him as his main forward so while he may bring someone in I think Gayle will be heavily involved at least first season up. I think Defence will see the most changes, he basically brought in a load of relatively cheap signings at the back and is switching them round to see which ones work best. Of course, the number 10 role Dickie brought up will be an important buy in the first season up unless someone really makes a claim this season (which no one is doing really). I think Gouffran will get time when we get promoted, at the very least he'd be used as an outlet to chase the ball late on in a game we're holding a lead. He's definitely building an argument so far this season and while I'm hesitant to think he's really a PL player stranger turnarounds have happened.
  9. I wonder if the Spurs fans have given up the hope that he's just settling in and have just accepted the bloke can't play football.
  10. 3-0 win to us, they've had an early good run of form but they're basically a League one side. Can Armstrong play against us?
  11. Agreed, he knows what he wants but like you say he doesn't have a player to play the role and has no intention of buying one in the Championship. It looks like he's going to use this season to get everyone playing in that style and when we go up he can go and spunk 15m or so on a quality number 10 type. The team isn't firing on all cylinders imo and that is in large part to us not having perhaps the right players to play that system but as long as we go up I've no complaints and it will probably make for a smoother transition into what his long term vision for our set up is.
  12. Aye, there's absolutely no chance they'll have 20 by Christmas, honestly they'd be lucky to have that by March. I knew they were shit but getting comfortably humped by a completely out of sorts Stoke made me realize they're on another level shiteness wise. They're a complete and utter fucking mess tbh, they have relentlessly attacked us for our dislike of Ashley over the years so now a lot of them refuse to criticise Short over some ridiculous loyal fan crusade, I once saw a thread where a bloke criticised Short and called for Ashley out type stuff and he got dogs abuse for being like the mags . It's almost as absurd as the classy thing, the owner has completely fucking given up on their club and they refuse to complain in some warped attempt at giving them something to look down at us over.
  13. Why would you choose between Hillary and Trump when you have blokes like this running?:
  14. It seems as if Short has no intention to give them anything as it is, if they were to go down they'd be in a right fucking state.
  15. There's absolutely no way their squad would piss the Championship, it is fucking dreadful. They're struggling more than Villa were last season and look where Villa are. Watmore is utter shit as well, they'll have him until he ends up at a League one side. They're fucking mental, they laughed at us saying our squad would manage down here but then they're saying theirs will with nowt but a 36 year old Defoe up top
  16. Aye it was some of the dourest football many of us have ever seen and they fucking loved him. It's incredible how they are really just permanently shite, I hope Moyes stays for a long time as they always grief us for changing managers (which is ludicrous since they change managers more often than any fucker else) and I'd like him to get a real fair crack at the job as they've been playing some real good stuff under him as far as I'm concerned.
  17. Aye I'm just twisting on because it doesn't suit me, I'm being punished enough for the move as I was a season ticket holder in the Allardyce days but I'm missing out on the Rafa days!
  18. Interesting, cheers for that rogerbarton. I didn't know we were so close to the tally from last time, it'll be a big ask to go and win the next 9 or so to keep up the pace matching it mind .
  19. You're on a roll today.
  20. Aye the Feathers do which is another reason they're mint, I just actually switched to Feather recently (in part as they have that feature) the Gillette boxes and some others didn't and that's why I used the bottle.
  21. Good stuff HMHM, save yourself a fortune in the long run. You also don't begrudge hoying the blades away as they're only 10-20p a pop so you don't ever have to shave with a dull blade. For getting rid of the blades I normally get an empty plastic bottle and either put the used blades in the top or cut a hole in the bottle and put them through that if they don't fit through the top, then when it's full (normally a long fucking time) I tape up the top and/or hole and put it in the recycling. That way you don't have to worry about some bloke slashing his arms to bits picking up your recycling/rubbish. Works over here, can't remember how you do recycling back home mind.
  22. Since it's in the ground I would assume it's the same as the tv's on the concourses. It adds to the frustration of not being able to see many of the games when you know every fucking game is filmed, if companies are paying for the rights and not televising any of the games could the EFL not do something like charge fans 20 quid to watch their teams games online or something? The way most grounds are packed it doesn't seem to have any detrimental effect on fans turning up for games whether they're on telly or not. I get that it's clearly some contractual thing but it's just ridiculous that in 2016 despite every game being filmed 85% of our season will have to be periscoped or listened to on the radio.
  23. Aye the score remained that way, we're top two now. Think we'll really solidify an automatic spot in the run of games up to xmas as we play a lot of the lower sides in the league for a change.
  24. I use one in all, I have the Merkur Tooj recommended as well as a short one (I think it's called a 34c) for when I'm travelling. I also use the feather razor blades Ant recommended, they're class and as you say cost fuck all really. You can get other blades like Astra's or Derby's that are pretty much just as good and a little bit cheaper than the Feathers, I would recommend trying to find a good sampler pack, they normally have a mix of Astra, Derby, Gillette, Feather etc blades (normally a 5 pack of each brand) and that way you can try them all out and see what you prefer then buy 400 of the ones you like for about the same price as 6 of the 5 blade razors. Gemmill you need to make the switch in all, it's a 'game changer' as some of the forums true resident hipsters are prone to say. edit: Just looked at the link you posted about the razor you like and that's the one I have for travelling, it's quality tbh. It also has a sampler pack in the "recommended" bit at the side, people prefer different kinds so I'd go for that for a fiver. Oh aye you might want to consider an Alum block as you might cut yourself more than usual when you're getting used to shaving with it, I didn't bother mind but some people like them as Ant mentioned you wont cut yourself as much as you think anyway.
