East Londoner

Somewhat predictably the announcement has been delayed

What’s absurd about the whole situation is half the ground is going to be empty. If they were getting decent crowds it would’ve made more sense

And 4, some like Lingard clearly came for the money

Seems they’re onto you aka cutting your nose off to spite your face

For risk of sounding like an infamous poster on the football side, all this cost cap stuff is just rumours so maybe we need to wait for something more official before making assumptions I’m pretty meh about the whole thing currently

Agreed it was definitely outside but what should the ref have given?

It’s alright but thanks anyway

Later start time means only way to get train back to London means missing most of the second half

So not offering to match Readings £20 offer only added £5 to the ticket

So Derby couldn’t pay their debts but can pay compensation for a manager when they already had someone competently getting on with the job ??

A friend of his was interviewed who said she told him if he didn’t feel safe not to fly on it which implied this was before they took off

So neither pilot or passenger thought it was safe and yet both pilot and passenger went anyway ??

Reappointing Pearson would just be a sentimental choice and therefore for the wrong reasons I suspect if they do replace their manager they’ll have loftier ambitions

Who did we miss out on on Saturday?

Ranieri is known to appreciate taking over from him ?

Exactly it’s a gesture of goodwill that’s hopefully reciprocated

Finally we have an example of what should’ve happened in Abu Dhabi. Alright the ending was kinda boring but it had sporting integrity

Thought this was interesting as didn’t realise it was quite so many. Can only assume the majority full into the don’t care category

Not so much this thread but social media in general people defending the idea of having a monarchy have been more abusive. The favourite one being ‘go live somewhere else then’ to anyone who dares question whether a system of hereditary monarchy is in keeping with 21st century society

It’s a bit difficult to accurately gage anything when no descent is allowed on the mainstream media. I know twitter brings out the worst of a lot of people and it’s easy to be a keyboard warrior but there is plenty of descent to be found there whether that could be called a public clamour or not I’m not sure Incidentally there’s a video of Liz Truss doing the rounds on there when as a Lib Dem she was denouncing the idea of a hereditary monarchy and now here she is trying to proclaim herself as mourner in chief

Can’t you just wear black all weekend?

Not sure what part of ‘it’s personal choice’ you don’t understand

It’s personal choice whether people want to go or not and whether they want to make noise or not The point that’s been made several times is you can’t force people to mourn in 21st century if they don’t want to it’s no longer the 1950’s

Don’t forget who the FA president is

If the monarch died suddenly and unexpectedly then it probably would be appropriate like what happened with Diana to postpone but everyone knew this day was coming and there are appropriate ways of allowing people who want to mourn to mourn without forcing it on those who don’t want to
