Had this been Biden, right wing media would be relentless. Until the mainstream media picks it up but also months after. Years after.
Is it a lack of capacity or will for the left to do this?

Counterpoint: maybe people don't turn against more competent politicians as quickly. I don't mean that just in terms of policy, I mean it in terms of communication and strategy and coalition building and all the other stuff good politicians are meant to do.

Farke will have input, but its sign off on a few options. Anyone believe the club was putting an unambiguously better than DCL in front of him?
There's also the issue of time. PL is faster and more physical so it takes players time to adapt. We've seen it loads of times. Hard for a promoted team.

All the Celtic fans in my family hate the board

He just left Celtic because they didn't spend money on players. I am sure it would go really well

I'm full piano key necktie on anyone taking the idea that at worst a touch of spin is actually dishonest seriously after living through BoJo and Trump.

Absolutely amazing illustration on who has the power to set the media agenda. Utterly wild

The recruitment team and senior management throwing Farke under the bus there. I believe the push to physicality came because it was "data driven" and does anyone believe Farke had a free hand on players, rather than just an input?

My worry is we got zero points from it. Good performance, maybe it's a template for us going forward, or at least a Plan B but if keeps being zero points none of it matters.
It's also another to the "lost the points in injury time" collection.

Down. Ipswich had a lot of decent performances zero points last season.

This and Bournemouth and Fulham and Spurs are what will relegate us, maybe more than getting tanked by Burnley

I think the young in London might want to be "long of London property" to "have somewhere to live" maybe even "having somewhere nice to live".

"They have moved right on non economic issues" is not an aside. People routinely puzzle in the US as to why vote against their economic interests when voting Republican. People care about lots of things.
Secondly, half or late measures bait this response. Labour have generally done half measures.

I hate the idea of a lump sum payment 100x more than just paying invisibly as I fill up. I wonder if I am the only one and if it changes behaviour.

Persona 5 is already a massive game. Not releasing is extra development time and extra costs. 3 and 4s expanded versions came from switching platforms and Atlus adding extra.
On the same platform they just need to make it DLC.

Think Bamford was great for us. I'd have kept him to see out his contract, hoping for one last hot streak. But over Piroe? That's a huge risk. Paddy could just as easily be out injured for the entire season.

Gerhardt hadn't played for us and hadn't lit it up on loan. Again big risk.

Lots of private sector employer pensions are you put in 3% we'll put in 7% or variations thereof.

You are clearing the £2,000 at a £20,000 wage even on pretty ungenerous schemes. It'll be more hassle having some salary sacrifice and some not. Just stop the whole thing or just raise tax

I think we're definitely down regardless. Anxiety is gone, just the depression remains.
November 26, 2025 at 1:59 PM
Not convinced he's the man for a relegation scrap. I know he was with Swansea, but that was earlier in his career and he's just left Celtic for not spending enough money
November 26, 2025 at 1:45 PM
Getting out the Championship is a nightmare, even with a good team and it shouldn't be underrated. Marcelo took 2 goes, albeit with a weaker squad.

Look at how many teams have failed at it.
November 26, 2025 at 1:44 PM
I'd guess the official reason is that publication could move markets and the Chancellor laying it out also provides important information and context. There's also the political side for the government in building support for difficult policies.

How much it really matters, I don't know.
November 26, 2025 at 1:43 PM
It's easy to not rate a manager when he doesn't have the players. Fine margins, we dropped 3 points late in games we shouldn't have.

If we going to sack him, earlier is better. I just don't see who is out there that does much better, unless Marcelo comes home. Obvious candidates have already moved
November 26, 2025 at 1:36 PM
Fans in the summer: recruitment isn't good enough
Manager in the summer: recruitment isn't good enough

Fans now: why is the team struggling, manager is cack

I think it's clear even staying up this season is going to be zero fun
November 26, 2025 at 1:24 PM
Bad seems a bit much. It's watchable with some decent ideas threaded through and a good final act but dragged down by the rework and reshoots and the need to connect absolutely everything.
It's okay for a film to be mid.
November 24, 2025 at 9:33 PM
Return of The Jedi is a great film. A touch flabby, but too much has been lost talking about Ewoks. The final third is incredible.

And it sticks the landing for the entire trilogy, which is rare enough. The rest, yes. THe Phantom Menace gets more stick than it deserves but is not, you know, good.
November 24, 2025 at 9:23 PM
It's all a bit Bijol-ly. Play him, we bought him to be a starter. Still has a mistake in him and we still get beat.

We just stack hope in this player or that player, when we need a bigger overhaul or a completely different way of playing.

DJ did not play well in pre season and the early games. It could be he wasn't fully fit because he didn't look it.
DJs best attribute is his pace, and there's some logic to tiring out defences before bringing him on. I'd go with Gnoto in that case, as he might dae sumfin but it's not entirely insane
