Bit disappointed with him saying that, it's akin to calling Tony Bloom a racist for sacking Chris Hughton. If he was trying to be be a candidate for an old-school, Leave-voting, deprived, red wall working class constituency then, yes, I could image the fear that a trans person would lose votes...

1 - Wins football matches 2+ Don't give a shit.

Yes. As we have seen from the NHS (sadly several times) to the Post Office and the Police being publicly-owned doesn't stop an organisation from being a lying incompetent bunch of ****s interested only in preventing reputational damage. I still think nationalisation is a step forward though...

Indeed. I've also realised it IS possible for him to sink lower in my estimation if he ever tried to use that as a defence. It would be a colossal insult to people who really are struggling with their mental health if he ever said "I sometimes shoot my mouth off, but people should cut me a bit...

Legend. Overused word, but utterly true in this case. Is he the last connection with the 'old' (pre-Amex) club?

Has anyone mentioned Graham Potter coming back on this thread yet?

In case anybody is wondering, it's NOT the BMW mentioned in this thread: https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/fuckers.439/ I sold that ages ago. (False plates, paint job, bish bash bosh, easy money).

You're an intelligent man, so you don't really need me to answer that! :)

Yes, true. However he would have to do it, like you say, in a couple of weeks as he would have zero 'honeymoon period' and there would be zero tolerance. It could all turn very nasty very quickly.

As a teenager I was a huge fan and had about 50 or 60 of his books. Eventually over the years I got rid of them all because .... well on re-reading I found most of them a little bit crappy. The original Foundation trilogy was good and if you haven't read any that's worth reading (I haven't seen...

As I've got older I've got more pessimistic, so my feelings are doom. Total doom. 'Peak Albion' has passed. We should sell the Amex and move back to Withdean. I don't believe we can go on pulling rabbits out of hats and I think next season will be a disaster. To paraphrase Lord Edward Grey on...

If I'd done that poll there wouldn't be 'fence' only two options: 1 - No. 2 - Hell no.

Agreed. I think there are a lot of parallels with Glen Hoddle. He guided Swindon to the PL - and then promptly left and joined Chelsea. Swindon was his first managerial job and he knew a relegation struggle would tarnish his growing reputation, and in all probability he would be sacked during it...

All I've done is read this thread, but I haven't felt this excited about a potential new manager since Jim Gannon!

Blimey, I thought Archer's 'Shield' badge was the worst ever, but the one from 68-69 is truly appalling. I've managed to completely blank it from my memory. Like with the kit (blue 'Arsenal' style) my favourite is the badge from the time when I first went to the Goldstone, but I voted for the...
