  1. I don't give much credence to those opinions tbh. I think the problems this season aren't really to do with the manager. I'm also not really sure there's a big name I want that'd consider joining.
  2. To be clear, I don't think good times are on the way, just less sh*t times. There's enough just obvious, basic stuff to change that'll create some improvement.
  3. By trade up do you mean the manager? As I'd say Howe's done plenty to earn a longer chance.
  4. Some of the growth will just naturally come from there being trust in there being a stable government for the next 10 years. Add in that the country will no longer be losing as much money to corruption, and there will just be some natural, inherent growth that's been choked out by the Tories. Other growth will be triggered just by spending on the basics. If you get more money in the pockets of working classes, they instantly spend it because it's actually really hard emotionally to save when you've been struggling. Whether this is a big night out, on a new fridge when the old one is almost but not quite dead, a nice outfit, or whatever, if money gets into the pockets of people who've been skint and tight, it'll get spent and chain into more growth. I think after Labour's first budget, regardless of what's in it, there'll be a starting point for some growth. My fear is largely that they don't utilise it enough to turn the spending taps on and trigger more.
  5. Have you seen the difference in how good Wilson, Joelinton, Schar, Murphy, Almiron, Longstaff have been under Howe compared to Bruce? And Lascalles has been back to the level he was under Benitez instead of how he was playing under Bruce. I didn't rate Gordon when we signed him, but he's been magnificent this season. I'd argue that the only player that regressed under Howe was ASM, and that's because the system under Bruce was "pass it to Allan and hope his trickery gets a corner". And he's been sold on.
  6. I saw a piece a month or two ago saying that Tonali was using this time wher ehe couldn't play to settle into the city/country more, while still training hard, which if true, makes me hopeful for next season. In the game's Tonali was good, he could break up play effectively and turn it into going forward, but Bruno can do that as well. I get the concept that they're similar, but they're also both quite all-round box-to-box midfielders, so I'm hoping that somehow between our midfielders we can get a functioning system. The squad depth thing absolutely showed in the game yesterday though. A quadruple substitution and 3 of the players brought on are teenagers.
  7. Tonali had a couple of games where he looked insanely good. He was ridiculous in the opening Villa game, and our 2nd best player after Pope in the draw at Milan. I don't know how much the upcoming gambling ban affected him after that. I'm not convinced by the "Tonali and Bruno don't mesh well together" noises without seeing more to justify that. I think the biggest problem is squad depth - basically we didn't have our summer signings for various reasons, and Wilson has gone back into the injury cycle that's plagued his career. Add in more games and an injury crisis creating a chain-reaction of just most of the squad being permanently barely fit, and it's just difficult.
  8. Neil Coyle is a racist c**t and shouldn't be in the Labour party.
  9. £3k to go to Rwanda is definitely a great deal. Just like convicts being pardoned the death penalty to go to Australia was a great deal. It's not a real offer. It's a threat disguised as a bribe.
  10. I realise that! I'm just referencing the quick mentality. I'd pay good money to pelt corrupt politicians with rotten fruit.
  11. US and UK should have stopped all weapons supply months ago. But yeah, there needs to be consequences applied by Israel's allies.
  12. It's one of the classic right-wing populist things. Who cares about the rights of criminals? I'm not a criminal so it couldn't affect me.... But every civilised society has also abolished it (yes I'm saying the USA isn't a civilised society).
  13. Referendum on capital punishment probably.
  14. Can you explain what you mean by this? I think I know, but I'm being hopeful that I'm misinterpreting you.
  15. It's absolutely batshit, considering the horrendous sh*t she spouted and culture she created while Home Secretary, that we would now talk about her as a "moderate Tory". Evil, evil woman, and still somehow better than a lot of them.
