So the pampered millionaires of the GrabCash Premier League have given themselves a week off each winter to (no doubt) spend somewhere warm in a meaningless exhibition game. They are just too tired and 50 games a season is too many. Try doing a proper job you @#$%&...
Lower league teams will just have to accommodate their whims and play 5th round FA Cup ties midweek. No replays of course. Another nail in the coffin of a once great institution.
Rant over, but sometimes I do wish a Norman Hunter type would magically transport into the modern era and really give them something to moan about.

lol at johnny englanders on here.
bring back mud baths for pitches, and what happened to the lace on the ball.
i think sam allardyce and sean dyche should dig up the bones of graham taylor and get english lads playing the english way in an english league. non of this fancy tika taka, flair and dribbling. get right up em. the english way.
Quote:Yes but as you actually think the @#$%& who trash a pub full of innocent bystanders are top blokes and that violence is part and parcel of a normal night out we can discount your posts as the raving of the brain dead moron you clearly are.mrGr33n13
i'm so against professional football i dont even like watching sunday league players unless they are on the dole mate. if they can afford shin pads i think they are ballerinas.
i actually boo tranmere players who pass the ball. who do they think they are, gianfranco pirlo?
jeff hughes and connor jennings are the result of foreigners darkening these wonderful shores with their geometric ways and fancy diets. @#$%& artisans.

Before or after putting the pub windows in 🎍😀

Can't remember which poster implied that dribbling was not traditionall but I think Stanley Matthews and Tom Finney to name but two would be an argument against. More recently Pat Nrvin and John Morrisey
Quote:Eric01 Tranmere
Why the negative comments about the players at Premiership level? Surely it is the clubs that are responsible? It will be a business decision and that is all. The players simply play when and where their employer demands
Quote:rossb07
I agree but come on guys, if any of us were talented enough and we got an offer for even just 10k a week then we’d be off of here and riding along with all the others.
Only weird thing for me about this break is as some have said that the worst weather in the past few years has been later on that the planned break.

Indeed. Your application to Oxfam contributions is very, as you say, flexible.
Never heard of friendly capitalism before. Thought it was survival of the most valuable.
I would suggest watching football on tv is more of a lifestyle choice that you have control over, as opposed to paying your basic utilities and necessities. And yes we should all shun corporations like nestle where practical - though it not always is, and people who exploit basic needs should be punished horribly.
But back to football. We don't buy the sun apparently (though I'm sure we still but from the same media group). Choice my friend. My apologies if my prose isn't quite so eloquent.

Where those issue more or less prevelent in the past?
Was the treatment of mental health issue more nuanced, sensitive and researched now or 50 years ago,?
Would you rather be in the bottom 10% now or 90 years ago.
If you can turn on a tap and get drinking water you are better off than 99.9% of humans who have ever lived. You can bathe in the stuff ffs. You are a very wealthy person and I refuse to believe you can say with any seriousness that you would rather have been born at any other time.
The poor of the past lived with infant mortality as he norm, sanitation a pipe dream, illness incurable.
The rich of the past had to spend a serious chunk of their netwl worth on kerosene and candles: only the very wealthiest of families could have light and read after sunset. Now a light bulb is virtually free to run
People on minimum wage jobs have televisions, free healthcare, running water, appliances, can get a flight to Amsterdam for 40 quid, own smart phones have a plethora of lesuire choices, can talk smack on trfc message boards.
Someone living at the very top of society in the not too distant past would snap swap lives with someone on a bog standard wage now.
Things aren't perfect but you cannot say we've ever had it as good as under liberal free trade and democracy.
Again if you disagree tell me when we've had it better?
Quote:One thing is true though, we can all buy TV’s etc now, only as technology hasn’t moved on and expierence in cheaper manufacturing and global trade has also come on, leading to cheaper products, and intially yes abuse of citizens working in these markets, however over time as the country gets richer the people get richer and hence have a better life and the country gets better, This is evolution, things will always get better over time
Quote:TranmereFan
things will always get better over time as we are all essentially learning as a human race to improve, and live better lives.
