Who else was nominated? Millwall, Galatasaray and Lazio by any chance?

The more I read of Ragnick, the more I hope he’s fucked off from this director role. Apparently he’s been leaving Paul Brand (head analyst) sitting twiddling his thumbs whilst receiving info from his lieutenant who we refused to bring in a while back. Kornetka has been on the phone to Ralf during games to give him live feedback. You know, watching on the television rather than actually fucking using the man in the position in the stadium to do it. I genuinely think he’s a bit of a snake oil salesman and we’ve been utterly fucking duped. We put in charge a bloke who hadn’t managed a team for ten years in charge of a bunch of mercenaries and expected what exactly? He clearly abandoned tactics 2 games in because we clearly don’t have the personnel. Whilst I admire the approach of throwing certain players under the bus, he’s never once analysed his own short comings in the man management department. Good riddance to a truly awful experiment.

This is so sickening to watch as Ted Cruz turns his back on the questions while patting America on the back saying what a great country it is.. It's people like this that need shooting...

Shows how much I pay attention.

IS THAT A GLOCK?

Danny Drinkwater has left Chelsea Football Club after being with the club since 2017.

His dad came out of his arse?

Chelsea have won an award for the football club with the “best reputation” – just as the exit of their disgraced former owner Roman Abramovich was confirmed. Chelsea’s prize was part of the Football Reputation Awards 2021 hosted by the World Sport Organisation. The awards ceremony is designed to “recognise clubs and players who have led the way, setting an example by promoting a better world, and raised awareness of the potential for sport to influence positive change in society”. The annual awards are voted in secret by a wide cast of players, coaches, referees, executives and journalists around Europe. Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante also won the equivalent player award, and by a distance, receiving 62 per cent of the vote, while Chelsea took the club award with 37 per cent of the vote.

I only just saw this. Don't forget 49% of Tasmania are children under the age of 5, 1% above the age of 5 and the remaining 50% have moved there from other states or territories once they reached competent reading literacy rates. Figures can be very misleading.

Stunning restoration

Gonna be honest, I wouldn't notice much, not that I dislike Pakistan or anything I just don't really have any sort of sporting animosity like other teams, I don't mind the Ind v Pak series but I really don't fuss much over Aus v Pak. In terms of my interest of opposition for Australia England New Zealand South Africa West Indies India Sri Lanka Pakistan Bangladesh

Fabinho back in training and Thiago expected to train with the first team tomorrow!

Came back from a 5 day trip to Northern Germany today. Stayed in Cuxhaven for 5 days, which is a coastal town and the northernmost point of the state of Lower Saxony. I liked it a lot better than the usual town I stay in when I visit northern Germany. Some impressions. This ship was built in 1904. It has quite a history. It was re-discovered in Sweden in 1979, and brought to Hamburg for repairs. But it was determined that it would be too expensive to restore it, so they gifted it to the town of Cuxhaven. Lotsenviertel in Cuxhaven. Very hipster-ish, but pretty. Ritzebüttel Castle in Cuxhaven. "Swiss House" in the Castle's park. Built in 1847 as a tea house. And then on my way back to Düsseldorf, I visited Bremen for 2-3 hours. Never been there before, so I wanted to take a look. A very old phonebooth now a plant house. Schnoor-Viertel. The oldest part of Bremen. And of course, the Westerstadion. Home of Werder Bremen.

Wasn't the most interesting press conference, they asked a few pointless questions which Ten Hag was never going to answer and it was the usual process bollocks. One thing I didn't like was his comment about evaluating the players he's got, he must surely have watched enough of our games now to have an idea of who's a slacker or not up to task. I hate players get more time because a new manager comes in.

Reading United cancelled their end of the season awards due to player embarrassment.

Tasmanian have two heads each, but only one head can read at a time, so technically it is 100%

What is rarely ever mentioned about free tuition is that this is predominately used by the middle class. So whilst banging on about the plight of the poor actual resources are being allocated to the middle class kids. Get this... just recently the SNP scrapped maintenance grants for kids from poor backgrounds who go to university. I went to a Scottish university and got a letter through my door from them last year begging me to make a donation to help them provide money for poor kids. Free education or free prescriptions are not a virtue, they should be open to the scrutiny of resource allocation. Nothing is truly free. The way student loans work in England is that the individual who benefits from the education pays for it themselves through a slightly higher tax on their future productivity as they earn. No one is denied education because they can't afford tuition. The government acts as their guarantor on the debt market and use HMRC to recollect the loan. The stupidity of English tuition fees is issuing debt that won't be repaid because they are too high which means other tax payers will be chipping in to wipe the debt off in the future.
