  1. Smart move, I mean if there's any position on the pitch where we need to bringing in a loan signing and promising him game time in that specific position whilst simultaneously developing a player for a club who we apparently have ambitions to compete with at some point in the near future, it's attacking midfield.

  2. Said it a dozen times, why the public were given responsibility to decide on Leave or Remain is beyond me. Don't see the point in electing hundreds of MPs if they can't make decisions like that for the country, it's sort of their job that they're paid to do. The Scottish referendum makes more sense because it's more about national identity (though I imagine like Brexit when you get past that and into the actual practicalities of leaving the UK you end up realising how stupid it was to make what is in reality an economical decision based on the public's feelings of emotion and identity). Back to Brexit though, everything Remainers said (too quietly) is turning out to be true. Leaving the EU isn't as simple as it sounds, we have a weak position from which to bargain and we are getting absolutely nowhere because all Brussels have to do is sit there and make next to no compromises, the politicians have no idea what the fuck is going on and even those committed to the Leave campaign can't agree on what we should be negotiating for almost two years after the referendum. Again, when the people in Westminster have no idea how to negotiate Brexit, why was this decision handed to the public that know a fuck load less than they do (which is saying something)? Meanwhile those who backed the Leave campaign in the hope of filling the post-referendum power vacuum out of personal interest and not because they actually think Brexit is a good idea continue to squabble over positions within the cabinet, Theresa May continues to concentrate more on shoring up key positions with people that are on her side while Boris has detached himself and looks likely to be plotting a leadership challenge from the shadows. I mean, who cares about butchering the credibility of our negotiating team by undermining the leadership again if it means Boris gets a shot at becoming PM? Then you've got Farage, Daddy Brexit himself, who seems to have swanned off into the sunset whilst occasionally popping his head back up to criticise May's approach to Brexit and further portraying the UK as a country divided (which it is). From the start, the people managing Brexit have been in it for themselves. I think at this stage it would definitely be worth having a second referendum. You'd hope that the small margin of people needed to change their mind and vote Remain this time would have had their eyes opened by the absolute travesty that this process has been over the last two years. It wouldn't be shocking to see us still vote to Leave though given how little attention people seem to pay to what's actually going on beyond "yeah we want Snickers to be called Marathon bars again" in which case we'd deserve whatever mess we get left with when Brexit goes ahead. TL;DR we are a fucking stupid country.

  5. Swans are little bastards. I was fishing from Friday until Sunday and on Saturday morning a guy had his line tangled on a cygnet(a baby swan), but there was a mother and father with it, which wouldn't let him near the cygnet so he was unable untangle the line, while keeping the parents distracted at the same time. Anyway, I went over and helped, I tried to distract the mother while the guy was untangling the cygnet, and the little cunt smashed me on the arm with its wing. I've got a massive lump on it now. They have some power in those wings, it was pretty much like a punch and I used to think it was an old folk's tale that they could break bones. They definitely could in my opinion. Luckily the cygnet was untangled, it was unharmed and returned back to its family where they headed off, but seriously watch it with swans as the little cunts are dangerous . @Cannabis that's another injury to my list.

  6. Bottom line is two years after the referendum Theresa May is going to have to pull some Houdini act out of her wrinkly fanny to secure any sort of positive deal and get Brexit off to any sort of successful start.

  7. I get what you're saying but I thought the way they did the survey was pretty unprofessional because it asked for public opinion on one of their employees and I'd be pretty disgusted if my school put out a survey to parents or students asking if they had confidence in my ability to teach them maths. However in different circumstances, I'd be delighted for the club to put out a survey asking "should the capacity of our new stadium be 56,000 or 58,000 or 60,000" or "do you think it's beneficial for the club to enter the U23 team into the Johnstones Paint Trophy/whatever it's called this season?". What I wouldn't like to see AT ALL though is for the club to make those decisions based entirely on a fan survey. Taking into account, fine, brilliant, but they're there to run the club because they have the know how (well they're supposed to, it's debatable whether that is actually the case as it is with the British government and running the country but anyway) and the figures behind everything, the means to get advice from qualified experts etc. Using all of this together they can make a decision. Relating that back to the topic, I think it's a pretty clear analogy. Letting people have their say is an excellent idea but asking the public to make what is potentially the biggest economic decision the country has to make in our lifetimes and framing it as such an emotion-based decision is retarded. The public as a whole aren't qualified. The government might not be either but they have a better chance of being and are paid to make these decisions. How they get public opinion in a reliable way is difficult admittedly. Having an opinion only referendum is risky as if 52% of voters say YES BREXIT and the government go against that then people will be all over them screaming well why did you fucking ask, so yes they'd have to reframe this somehow. Perhaps the pressure of that outcome though would encourage the government to actually educate and inform the public properly about what they're voting for and against. We can dream.

  8. Just went swimming for the first time in what must be literally about 4 or 5 years. Just fuck off. For someone who's reasonably in shape and exercises regularly I managed a pitiful 14 lengths and now I need to die for the rest of the evening. I think my problem is that it actually takes me effort not to go full pelt and pace myself instead. Quality exercise though, will feel that tomorrow .

  9. there tons of people who are die hard rossoneri and that doesn't change no matter how bad their club goes. the reason why you don't see anyone in this forum is because it's a British forum that 90% of the users are British and support clubs from Premier League. If this was an Italian forum then 30% of the users would be Milan supporters.

  10. Some fans compared his signing to Fábio Rochemback's, so, Arthur will easily surpass those expectations (probably he already has).
