    That's good to hear. I may have to indulge. Has Gary perfected the art of farting?šŸ˜„Ā 

    If he needs any help getting it right, I can provide assistance. 40 years as a vegetarian has made me an expert.

    Twenty years later than everyone else I'm now watching Life On Mars. Really enjoying it, all the retro stuff from when we were all a lot younger, including Wrigley's juicy fruit chewing gum šŸ˜€

    Talking of retro stuff, we started This Town last night about life in the West Midlands in the early eighties (mixed in with the troubles in Northern Ireland) and the birth of ska (I think, we donā€™t see it in episode 1). I really enjoyed it, although the reviews are mixed.

    Edit: just seen Frankā€™s post, oh well, will persevere.

    I saw him at Rebellion last year-enjoyed the music, very loud and punky, but I was not so impressed about the lyrics-some very angry songs about the police.

    Are you sure the lyrics were about the police? Given that heā€™s from Suffolk, when he says pigs, he really means pigs.

    He will attract suitors and the lack of parachute payments means he will move on as we can't afford to pay him the same.Ā  If we do scrape the prem I could see him staying. In all honesty we will need better in all 4 defensive positions, esp the cb area. Ditto stacey who like edworthy will be honest if out of his depth for 9 months.

    If I had to keep one of Stacey, McCallum and Gianoullis, no contest. Stacey every time. Iā€™d probably go with Gianoullis over McCallum too if cost wasnā€™t a factor, neither of them are the worldā€™s best defenders but of the two, I think he shades it.

    MartynĀ influenced many, including Sheeran.Ā  So although you're having a little joke there, it's not all that far removed than you think, just a different package for a different generation.

    It's likely that If Sheeran was an underground artist doing the same thing, the snobs would all be up his ****.

    I get what youā€™re saying. But just because an Ipswich player was influenced by Cruyff or Pele, it doesnā€™t mean I have to like them!

    It's one thing to label music as simple or unchallenging and criticiseĀ it as personal opinion.Ā  But it's a whole other thingĀ to set a threshold and attempt to denounce others on that basis,Ā doing so is a primeĀ example of elitism in music.

    Go to any school kids talent show and see someone performingĀ "Sheeran music" solo with an acoustic and tell them they don't care.

    Frankly if theyā€™re not covering Nick Drake or John Martyn then they clearly have no taste, are sh*t and should stop wasting everyoneā€™s time. šŸ˜‰

    I would seriously question the point of naming SVH in the Squad, we really have wasted wages on him/Batth.

    Batth at least is a proven central defender and should do a reasonable job if called upon in a pinch at the basic stuff. Sydneyā€¦ well, heā€™s yet to demonstrate why he was chosen. But then Josh was roundly condemned in his first season, maybe history will repeat itself. šŸ™

    I don't like him myself, but I hate elitism around music like this.Ā  Liking Ed Sheeran doesn't mean you lack care for music, and to give him some credit he's one of the few top artists who is regularly holding a guitar in his hand.Ā 

    It's mainstream, sure, but he's responsible for many kids picking up a guitar today.

    I wouldnā€™t criticise other peopleā€™s tastes (at least I would try not to šŸ˜‰) but pointing out something is a ā€œlowest common denominator ā€œ, I.e. simple, unchallenging and taking the easy route, is IMHO a valid criticism. Thatā€™s not the same as elitism.

    They're plenty of artists that find a formula and milk it for all its worth, "Oasis" for instance, but I wouldn't call them talentless.

    I would, cheap Beatle impersonators with a tuneless singer. Canā€™t stand the winkers. Derivative music for pissed-up idiots.

    I know nothing apart from what we've been told.

    But old Glad next door is usually 'in the know'. A bit like you on here Sheff she's the oracle of our street. They always say "what Glad dun't know in't worth knowin". I asked her and she said "word down Roys is that their will got changed and they left everything to the Webbers" Then she got hold of my arm, iron grip, drew close and whispered "Tom's gorna contestut".

    Do we have a self-destruct button for this forum for when that happens, or will the resulting meltdown naturally cause thatĀ anyway?

    Brilliant manager he may turn out to be in the medium to long term but thereā€™s no way heā€™ll become manager of arguably the biggest club in the world with only two seasons experience, both of those outside the top flight.

    I'm just not sure there's much appetite for football in India. Despite the amount of money in the Indian economy, they can still only muster a 12-team Super League, and only four of those teams average more than 10,000 spectators. Also, India are ranked 117th in the world, behind the likes of Kyrgyzstan, Mauritania and Haiti.

    I genuinely can't think of a single Indian footballer who has made any impact in the international game, but I'm happy to be corrected. Baichung Bhutia had a year at Bury back in the day, and Sunil Chhetri (who's India's captain, record goalscorer and widely regarded as the best ever Indian footballer) had short and failed spells in MLS and then with Sporting Lisbon's B team.

    I can only think that it's the omnipresence of cricket in the national psyche that's responsible for this complete lack of progress in India's footballing infrastructure.

    Itā€™s because of the climate. Kids donā€™t wear jumpers, so they donā€™t have anything to make goalposts with.

    Predictions are for the birds. If I could predict the future Iā€™d be on a beach somewhere enjoying my lottery win.

    If we play Kenny at the back and take the game to them then I think itā€™s a win or draw. If we sit off them like the first 45 at their place, or today, I think theyā€™ll have the game won by the time we make a change to try and respond.Ā

    If we can scrape a 0-0 or 1-1 it will be a reasonable outcome and set them back a bit as long as Leeds and Leicester continue winning - sadly I cannot see 3 points for us this time

    So you're not at all impressed by a team that has 87 (!) points and STILL have 6 games to play, 23 points ahead of us and have lost just 5 matches all season (v our 14).Ā I watched them last night on TV and they were outplayed forĀ long periods by a team playing a far superior brand of football yet they still managed to win 4-3. That's not luck I'm afraid. It's down to a great spirit that runs throughout the club and the town. We had it here under the Messiah and then Farke. I assume you were 'not impressed' by us then either?

    Jesus. Even allowing for a couple of binner trolls, this thread is embarrassing.

    An interesting topic, my thoughts:

    Part of the problem is too many young families expect too much and are not prepared to for-go 'essentials/luxuries' to better themselves.

    Now beforeĀ  get lynched, by 'essentials/luxuries' I means holidays/latest Iphones (other makes available) multiple cars etc.

    When my wife & I were dating we bought our first house together. Her salary went 100% on the mortgage (circa 15% at that time)

    It was a 2 bed terrace, and we spent 18 months renevating before we got married & moved in. We had 1 car, an old Avenger, our honemoon was in the UK for 7 days. Every penny we had went on the house. When we moved, we again bought a property needing renovating. Our first holiday abroad was on our 10th aniversary.

    Feels a bit like a Monty Python sketch!!

    My wife now works part-time in an infants school. Most of the families have 2 holidays abroad each year. Christmas on the credit card. The thought of NOT having the latest mobile is painfull to them. Yet the complain when prices go up, inc the rent! They feel 'entitled'

    Now I agree that there should be more council houses available to rent, I was brought up in one. Nothing wrong with social housing, just there isn't enough. Why is there so few? Didn't a certain M.T. encourage people to buy their council house at a discount? Yet at the same time restrict councils from using the income this generated from building more social housing.

    Ā 

    The tories & labour both have-it-in for private landlords, yet if they didn't exist would the tenants they house be able to afford to buy the house?? would they pass the 'tests' to be offered a mortgage to buy the house? there are no tests to rent a property. My youngest son rented for a while. His rent was higher thatn a mortgage for the same property yet he could not get a mortgage as he failed the affordability test for the mortgage yet the rent for the very same house was Ā£100+/month more than the mortgage.

    Then we have to consider those people who cross the channel in boats, once they have bee granted official entry into the UK they will need homes, where will these come from?

    Sorry need to get off the soap box šŸ˜ž

    Tl;dr: it was better in the old days

    Ultimately I actually agree with you though, even if we did get promoted, I wouldnā€™t be entirely surprised or upset if Wagner was replaced.
