It’s all relative. If you’ve watched your team be shit for life, then it’s less of a shock. Like me supporting Warrington. Just not arsed. However, I’ve seen almost 20 years of league titles, European cups and domestic dominance. Right now, we might as well be relegated. Last year I had zero enjoyment from football with the exception of the occasional last minute Ronaldo winner. The football was fucking atrocious. The team is owned by absolute scavengers. The players don’t care. There is absolutely nothing good to look forward to as a United fan right now. Just mid table mediocrity. Quote

Aye but that has been the reality for fans of other clubs for decades now, and a lot of them are in the Championship or League 1 Quote

6666 Posted July 13, 2022 Posted July 13, 2022 Hasn't even been charged with anything so it'd be ridiculous to suspend him. If he was charged or if there was anything out there that suggested wrongdoing then there'd be a case for suspending him although the argument of "innocent until proven guilty" would still be there. She said/he said situation at the moment. Hopefully whoever the guilty party is gets their punishment. Quote
DNA Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Since you can be sued for online defamation, Mark Goldbridge (ex cop and all) has shot himself in the foot with that tweet then, even if it has been deleted; not to mention all the twitter detectives. …. If you google his name with the word rape you’ve got news outlets outside of the UK making it a headline including his name, so where does the buck stop… Edited July 14, 2022 by DNA Quote

She said/he said situation at the moment. Hopefully whoever the guilty party is gets their punishment. A lot of it depends on the strength of the case in my opinion. Manchester United and Everton were well within there right to suspend Greenwood and Gylfi last season before a verdict if they believed the evidence against them was largely overwhelming and there presence was going to have an adverse effect on the dressing room. At the same time Brighton/Tottenham are well within their rights to keep playing Bissouma if they're own internal investigation indicate they believe its proportionate to do so. Whilst sexual assault isnt rape its still something the clubs will take seriously. No club is going to what the PR that Sunderland got once it was leaked they knew the strength of the evidence against Adam Johnson and they continued to play him. Quote
Lucas Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Bit harsh. I get it for obvious reasons but still Personally, I think Marsch has a better chance of surviving than Lampard. Think the smart money could be on Marco Silva at 9's. We know their owner loves a knee jerk. Edited July 14, 2022 by Lucas Quote
Administrator Stan Posted July 14, 2022 Administrator Posted July 14, 2022 Rodgers at 8/1 isn't too bad to be honest. Bad start to the season and fans could turn even more, causing board to take action... Quote

Bad start to the season and fans could turn even more, causing board to take action... Especially with little to no strengthening so far. I left Rodgers alone purely because I feel you'll do ok with everyone back to health and no Thursday football, but I can imagine patience will wear thin if its a sticky start. Quote
LFCMike Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 Not sure how Wolves' start is but Bruno Lage might be worth a little go. Wolves were awful from about February last season Quote

Yeah exactly, an 'easier' schedule will hopefully allow players to get some momentum and we can have a regular starting XI instead of contending with injuries constantly. Just need some momentum and less regular cautious and defensive football. Again, maybe we'll see a return to how we played a few seasons ago - open, free-flowing attacking football which got us competing for top 4. Quote

There are some many young Palace fans I see on Twitter that have been seduced by the like/retweet culture to the stage where when I recognise them at games I see other people look at them and shake there heads. He's one of them. Quote
Waylander Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 Some old faces here and I recall just a handful, Lee Sharp - Utd, Tony Daly - Villa, Vinnie Jones - CFC, Mark Wright - Liverpool, Gordon Durie - Spurs, John Salako - Palace and Peter Beardsley at Everton. Who are the rest? The Scots chap wearing Leeds shirt, i should know yet............ Quote
Reluctant Striker Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 Others on back row: David Hirst - Sheff Wed John Wark - Ipswich Tim Flowers - Southampton Tim Sherwood - Blackburn Middle row - I can't add any more Front row: Gary Charles - Forest The Oldham player, just feel like I'd know the name if I heard it Andy Sinton - QPR Gordon Strachan - Leeds 1 Quote
Waylander Posted August 2, 2022 Posted August 2, 2022 John Wark, I recognised though could not name him. Strachan aha, I knew Gordon was part of the name. You missed the chap between Strachan and Beardsley? So just two left to uncover. Quote

It stopped meaning anything when it became just something that happens every game instead of a protest. It never really made sense either, it’s a Yankee thing and they did it during the national anthem to protest. Kinda sucked the power out of it Europeans. 2 Quote
