Bromley I think you'll find I and others have thought it through. So let me make it clear to you. I have always said I would not support his appointment. He's the only manager I feel like that about. Although I can't stand the likes or Warnock, Allardyce and Worthington, would I feel like this...

[QUOTE="Does that mean you won't give Timpsons your custom because the company employs ex-cons?@ I'm not understanding the relevance here. I'm not saying I'm not going because he is a convicted criminal.

I have to say of all the managers out there, the only one I didn't want is Steve Evans. And I hoped that Scally wasn't going to do this, although it was fairly obvious from the outset. Let me quantify this by saying although I can't stand him, I would take Neil Warnock in a heartbeat. Its...

“The current mob have shown it is maybe better to have decent players playing in a system and to their strengths rather than picking the outlying superstars and trying to fit a team around them.” Exactly the point. Southgate has done that and that is a massive achievement and something many of...

Yes or draw. Which is how we normally start World Cup tournaments. I saw a post yesterday that made me chuckle, about thanking the unsung heroes of the England team. The Telegraph Journalists that took Sam Allardyce out to lunch :-)

Good choice I think

A marvellous effort from the England players and manager. Who honestly thought before the tournament started we would have got so far? We have massively exceeded expectations and it says a lot that we are so disappointed that we haven't made the final. Very proud of the lot of them. Because it...

Nobby that's it exactly.

"You just don't get it Roger, do you. I've tried my (inadequate) best so I'll give up now. In 20 years time see how people view these issues. By way of analogy I suppose my mate in his council job who has closed down some rogue landlords is to blame for making people homeless." I think its...

The issue for me is about people with no involvement in an industry/job etc, deciding that it isn't acceptable for those that are. Normally without any discussion with those in the industry. Sex sells. Watch adverts for perfume or aftershave. scantily clad men and women. I personally don't have...

The major problem is not so much funding it is recruiting staff. I personally know 2 nurses who are considering quitting. The moral levels of staff in the NHS are at an all time low. The removal of the training bursary is hardly likely to help with recruitment. I would also worry what Brexit...

Agree totally TGPL

I'm actually more shocked that you seem to think this is ok Durham. Do you think when they are interviewed for these waitress jobs one of the questions is do you mind if the men at this party grope and sexually harass you? Because make no bones about it that's what this is. That you seem to...

Would rather we keep him.
