    I saw them play Nantes in 2007 

    They were going for CL and Nantes were already relegated 

    It's a sort of big game in that part of the world

    Something like Le Atlantic Derby 

    You could see they were both trying to play good football but weren't quite good enough, like nice technical football but just not quite at the pace required 

    Nantes won 

    You could drink in the stands 

    At the time we'd signed Gerald Cid on a January pre transfer agreement from them so so asked some fans about it, they had no idea he was leaving and were proper gutted

     

    This may of been the start of the collapse when they thought Gerald Cid was good. Like the hill valley lightning disaster

    A last minute equaliser scored by their goalkeeper last week

    In the fifth (I think) tier

    Yeah it all sounds a bit fucked and not in the full guise. Think they can’t afford the rent on the ground etc.

    Hang on

    You watch Ligue Une 

    Your as hipster euro trannies trans as they get

    You probably watch it in a Reims shirt too

    Ps

    I own a Bordeaux shirt and they don't even exist any more so I'm fucking cool me

    Bordeaux are back

    Shut up you queer, he played for them. Doesn't mean he flinched from banging one in the net for us. He did his job.

     

     

    Nah defo a soft arse. Was well gay.

    Is it time to retire Kane sometime soon? 

    Seems a crazy shout to me. Suspect your not on your own. Was the golden boot only last season.

    Really cba me.

    I'm still done with em for a bit.

     

    Think it being Ireland certainly helps for me. My wanderers apathy is an even bigger driver. Plus I want to see who sings and who doesn’t😂

    Well I’m an oldie and see being selected to play for your country as an honour so to me it’s disrespectful not to at least sing your country’s National anthem. I do accept of course that newer generations have less pride in their country and so it’s just another thing to object to. Sad though but reflects so many things today I suppose?

    Hehe that’s quite an interesting take. I like being referred to as youngen though😂.Singing that I’d save King Charles seems a bit woofterish to me. No issue if they sing or don’t.

    Still English born though and only played for Ireland because he was crap. Of course he should sing the anthem if he has any pride in what he’s been invited to do otherwise he can fook right off.

    Can’t say I’m mithered. I find it weird when the camera pans in on them all desperate to catch a non singer.

    Anyone remember Andy Johnson ex forest and wba. On undr the cosh he admitted he used to go to the wales squads for piss ups. Doesn’t feel Welsh in the slightest etc. From Bristol.

    A win will do.

    Are you heading down the "thick, owd racists" route? That always works.

    No. Not at all. I think voting far right though puts you in a sticky area. 

    I’d never label anyone a racist as it can be damaging, puts people on the defensive and I have always believed in treating people how I’d like to be treated.

    Ill not deny that a portion of far right voters will be bellends though.

    Give over. 

    And that's not having a pop at Baxter. Trafford was a different level for this division and clearly should have been playing much higher. Baxter is top of this division and should be in the championship 

    I like both. If I had to plump Baxter is better. I may be swayed by the fact we own him. There’s not much in it

    I think the recent regional elections have certainly highlighted the rise of the far right in the east but I don’t think it’s a simple east v west thing. When other regions vote, I think we could see the same results. We’ve also seen it in Holland, Italy and France. In all these countries, the reason is the same. 

    They’re all struggling financially or bellends?

    Thatcher's concern was that a emboldened, unified Germany would upset the balance of power in Europe

    She was particularly wary of the potential for an aggressive attempt to reassert their old, pre-war borders and that it would lead to another military conflict

    Aye. As well as her clearly vivid memory on their race policy.

    Thatcher wasn't the sage mind many think. So not sure what her thinking on the reunification of Germany has much to do with it to be fair.

    I am sure there are elements of course, more so than here but less than eastern Europe and maybe parts of southern Europe too, they are feeling it so much more than we are.

     

    Yeah it’s a tad tenuous, but the unification has oddly played its part as the far right movement defo stems more from the east.

    The one thing that I think we all agree drives it is prosperity. People start doing well and then no one gives a fuck

    Not sure about that but they’ll have the same problems with the legal aspect. This is from the same article.

    Stamp added the caveat, however, that this would require Germany to amend some of its deportation laws. 

    Probably not a good idea after last time. Thatcher had huge reservations on Germany reuniting. No idea if she was looking this far down the line but hey ho.

    I love Germany but you do always feel there is the underlying beef they have. Not close to some of the Eastern European countries but while subtle it has an underbelly.

    Saying that, we’ve not exactly covered ourselves in glory recently
