The use of fake AI cases is astonishing given that the plaintiff was a Tax Barrister of 20 years standing…..

Sorry to hear this. I gather many companies do online questionnaires first before getting to the interview stage. Hope the job search goes well.

I’ve resisted the temptation to watch the additional time at the end of the match as I’d probably put the table through the telly….

My recollection of that season was it completely dominated my life. As soon as a game finished we looked to see who we had next and who they had next. The second half of the season seemed to last ages whilst we lost that lead. Then bloody Woan and Fenton…

Can think of a 1-0 featuring a French bloke and a Danish keeper that turned out to be pretty large….

And as that article makes clear most of the other English clubs have been in Europe consistently for years and have squads built up over that time designed to cope with that. Some context that the Howe out gang would do well to bear in mind.

Thought he was phenomenal tonight. Proper leader. Shout out to BDB and Big Joe too.

Heard that speech live. Had to turn it off as I felt sick. Horrendous. Reminded me of Healey talking about Thatcher “glorying in slaughter”.

You say badly planned but from Trump’s angle I suspect it’s gone pretty well. “ the Arabs will pay the protection money to my Board of Peace and we’ll sort out the Iraqis for them. Tomorrow Benji we’ll be billionaires”

…level but I’m not sure all of those who want Howe out would be prepared to see us go backwards first, or risk the likely exodus of players that would result. Howe’s far from perfect but it might be that he’s the best we can get at the moment or even in the summer.

But thats not the case now. If we want regular European football and a top 6 position then I think we have to accept that there’s a pretty small pool of managers who have the record of providing that and they’re not always available. The alternative is to take a gamble on someone not proven at that…

Believe me I am far from catastrophising. And I don’t have “feelings” for Howe thanks. Pep becomes available and I’m all in for that. Hell I’d probably take Klopp too if he was up for it. I’m old enough to remember when anyone would have been better than some of the managers we have had…..

Howe out in May or Howe out in March. Tomayto/tomato. If you want him out might be better to wait until after the World Cup to get the big name.

Sorry you find this tedious. I’m equally bored trying to get the Howe out brigade to face up to reality. I’ll give up and please both of us.

So, I think the mark of success for you is Europe and top 6. Discounting Chelsea for obvious managerial roundabout reasons that leaves Pep, Arteta and Slot. All other managers are at least as bad as Howe, then? Not having a pop, just want to know where the line is for you.

If he had “succeeded” in managing that workload where would the team be now? Top five? in the Carabao final? Both?

So we need to think big , presumably get a big name who’ll spend loads, maybe go backwards in a different way to the backwards we’re going now, and you’re happy with that? If Howe has failed twice, what does success look like to you?

I’m happy to give someone else a try but I’m also happy that we might have to go backwards first and it might take some time to get to even where we are now. I don’t think others have that patience, do you? And if we are looking at mangers who are above us, there’s one who is pretty local!😲
