We would have got more than 2 points against Bolton, Blackburn and Boro under Allardyce. I saw the match today, we were fucking horrendous man, Liverpool could have scored 10

Not a fucking chance we'd be this bad under Allardyce. I'd have fancied him to get better results in the home games we had and not get so absolutely anihilated in EVERY away game.

Again, this is the short-termism I was talking about with regards to the unions. Yes Thatcher's monetary policy coupled with the strengthening of the pound was going to cause unemployment, nowhere more so than where I'm from, but the economy was already in a poor state as it was. There was no quick fix to the problems that Thatcher faced but I'm glad she was there to stick to her guns and see it through, she was definetly the right personality at the right time. I'm not completely naive enough to say that the unions weren't a problem. However destroying their power completely by destroying their industries was not a sensible approach. There are plenty stories about how bad british leyland was in terms of the unions but it was the management that let them get away with it. Other countries, notably Germany, rode out the bad times while keeping core industries because they knew how important they were. Thatcher sold any money making ones to her cronies in the cities and watched the north burn with no regard for its future. Was reducing union power worth the price? In hindsight with the economic state the country is now, of course. She laid the foundations with, some say brutal, immediate measures.

Andrew just pissed about in a helicopter, miles away from the front line.

Absolutely no middleground then?

Yep, Real Sociedad

Love the "smash the system" attitude that scoffs at any government exercising their muscle over the general population. It is for your own good at times, you know.

Thatcher unbelievably overdemonized. Like Stevie said, if she hadn't crushed the unions, we'd be flocking to Poland in rags begging for medial jobs over there.

So did both of them stay on all 3 stages for a full decade? Yes or no? Oh and I'm still waiting for those quotes that actually say I like wrestling, I did ask for them in another thread but never got them. Strange that..........

Definitely but comparing him to Jimmy Armfield or Viv Anderson is like comparing Pele to Ali Dia, and demonstrates a fundamental lack of awareness of the English game. Granted it has been proven many times he's one of the most clueless cunts seen on any message board. Calm doon man. Forget about it. No chance, Neville has been a consistent performer on Domestic, European and the International stage for at least the last decade. Has Anderson or Armfield done that? Didn't think so

I was there, we were in the bottom tier and Inter fans were in the top, bottles of piss getting thrown at us and flares. Sergio Conceciao was the player in question above btw.

Yeah, still maintain he is. But hey, feel free to be wrong. You must post blind if you think it's one of the funniest things you've seen tbh.

Expected.

Is that from The Onion?

Dalglish was there in 1997

"Pulled one of my posts apart" Seriously man, lay off the benylin. Might even help with that irony problem you have as well.

Haha just basically a carbon copy, thought better of you tbh :nufc: :nufc: :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

Thank you for proving my point.

We talking about Fop here or alex? They're both as dull as each other tbh, just alex seems to have more drones following him. alex seems to agree with me over on NO on football most of the time though, much to his credit

Yep, and got Bellamy sent off by winding him up. prick. Bellamy got himself sent off tbh

Fucking philistine.

The Game is a horrendous HD-DVD by all accounts, absolutely no improvment over SD

Matterazzi

Final Countdown

What a fucking weapon
