Not wanting DCL but wanting Evan Ferguson, a bloke who has had one good game against us and then two years of looking like a total donkey is out of this world

This is exactly what has happened at the bairn’s school. His dad is a teacher there (also 25yrs) and they’re “restructuring” meaning they they’re looking for redundancies and demoting people from leadership roles without discussion or explanation. Unions are now involved. It also happened earlier in the year at another local Catholic secondary. It’s an absolute shambles.

Pragmatism vs Fantasy. FANTASY WINS. FLAWLESS VICTORY

Jealous 😩 When I win the lottery I’m just going to follow England Cricket around the world. And demand to work as Jimmy Anderson’s unpaid PA 🥰

As an aside from my normal political views, this is a non-partisan view I have as well. Long term planning would absolutely make this country a better place. Every time someone mentions it I'm reminded of fucking Sunak when he was chancellor, claiming that he couldn't contribute 15bn to help kids catch up on lost learning time following Covid, despite being told that the long term cost to the nation of this loss to these kids would be 300bn or so. It's a prime example of this short termist nonsense that damages us constantly. We absolutely do need a better class of politician.

Everyone is a career politician these days. They gear themselves up to attain power by demonstrating how bad the incumbent is and once they're in power, the focus shifts to do concentrate on retaining power - not by using their position to enact real, positive change, but to issue diatribes against the alternative. They all do it, as well. Long-term vision appears to be a ideal of the past.

Him smoking a tab seems bad enough tbh

If it’s not Monty Magpie with a fag in his mouth then they haven’t listened to the fans.

DCL would be a right throwback to the Shefki Kuqi and Sibierski days and he'd have less impact than them. If we can't get someone in the Delap category than hopefully a Mitchell European prospect who can backup Isak, no idea who though given our budget constraints.

Seems like the wrong thing to do morally and it’s political suicide. It just beggars belief really.

I thought this was halfway through a nazi salute before I saw the horse.

For real. This is austerity. They're not calling it that, but it's what it is. This was what Labour wanted to do last time around too but lost out to Corbyn - it's why there was such a pushback then. In a way, we need people to be honest with where the country is - but no one can accept this because the honesty is selective. Yes, Labour, you can tell me that the country is fucked and has to do this - and I'll understand - but only if you're also very honest about how much worse Brexit has made this. Because if you're not prepared to do that, then I'm not prepared to accept very much of this at all, since no lessons are being learned.

if they don't go with this stone cold classic there's summat wrong...

Microsoft Copilot having a bash. Apart from the obvious spelling mistake I wouldn't be surprised if this was the general direction they go in.

Horrid copy of Leeds' squashed cock badge is what it is.

I wish I knew who he played for but that badge just does not translate digitally and I have no way of knowing.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Spurs just did their older badges and they looked better for it but any genuinely new designs have been generally dumbed down. Yep.

If you're referring to this, then it's not as Villa's top is exactly the same (except it's obviously got their shitty badge where our crest is),

Liverpool haven't so much simplified their crest, they just reverted to what they used in the 1980s

No point in signing DCL. He's 28, he'll command pretty high wages, isn't a reliable goal scorer, and won't be available for half the season. Sooooo similar Callum Wilson then, who has at least been a reliable goal scorer. Delap is younger, plenty physical, looks a real prospect and will at least retain his value better than DCL. Evan Ferguson is an interesting shout, there must be a reason why he's nopt played as much. I'd guess it'll be partly due to injuries and partly due to being Irish and you know what they're like.
