He quite clearly is joking.
As was Mark Sampson when he referred to Ebola. Glenn Hoddle lost his job as England manager because of a comment about disabled people. Malky McKay made a few jokes and was sacked from Cardiff and blackballed from the Palace job and even now is unemployable in the UK. Even DW ended up in the shit for making a joke about Chinese & Jews which called time on his chairmanship.
There’s a time and a place for jokes. But if you think that joking about one of the protected characteristics covered by EA 2010 is funny, then its best to joke about them in private with trusted friends and no journos.
The EA 2010 was brought in for exactly this reason. Its about time the rest of the UK started being brought to task over discrimination against the English.
But did he run them all at a professional pace? Did his performance drop in any of them?It dropped after day 4, when he had to take a day off. But he made up for it on day 27 by doing two marathons.
It doesn’t matter how fit you are or how good your diet is your body will only take so much before it starts to give in either with injuries or worse as we saw with Muamba, Foe and plenty of others.Eddie Izzard managed 27 marathons in 27 days at the age of 55.
The pundits on MOTD got it spot on yesterday with their comments about Klopp. He disrespected Everton by dropping Coutinho & Firminho to the bench and then tried to blame Everton’s tactics and the ref for his selection errors.
The mask has well and truly slipped off the “happy German’s” face now.
You really are paranoid, aren’t you?I’d have thought being let back after the ban for his disgusting comments would have tempered his attitude, but sadly not.
Why not home, away, home, away right through the season.Because you’d not be able to play the other 11 clubs who have home/away fixtures at the same time as you.
Even with 2 up front, a midfield shouldn’t get overrun because at least two of the 4 defenders that are only marking one striker can push forward and join midfield.
If you are facing a lone striker, there is no need to play 4 at the back.
My dad’s uncle used to play for Wigan Borough pre-WW2. They played 2-3-5. When I started watching football in the late 1970s, it was 4-2-4. It then moved to 4-3-3, then 4-4-2, and nowadays, 4-5-1, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-1-1 or in Scotland’s case a couple of years ago, 4-6-0!
I don’t get why the number of forwards has decreased, whilst the number of defenders has increased – back in the 30s, 40s, there weren’t ridiculous scorelines every week when two defenders faced five forwards.
Give me 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 anyday. I love to see wingers taking on their man on the outside and whipping it across for the centre forward(s) to smash it in!
Happy days.
Also witnessed the scrap in the tunnel after Sunderland in 1988.Still the funniest thing I’ve ever seen at a football match:
Excellent game of rugby, shame about the result.Edge of the seat stuff. 34 players who gave absolutely everything, and even though we lost, the scoreline suggests that the international gap is closing and having half the team playing in the NRL is having a positive impact on England’s fortunes.
Next June, if the pampered millionaires can give 25% of the commitment shown today, we may do well.
On the bright side, those who were very vocal about being unable to get a ticket for the Fylde game will be able to get one for the replay!
I don’t slag off sports I don’t like. I just take no interest in them.I concur. I don’t ever recall commenting on any forum related to F1, Netball, Rugby Union, Snooker, Darts or Golf. If any of them were taking place in my back garden, I’d either draw the curtains or go out!
