  1. It's often thought the better the player, the less likely to be a good manager Simply because they don't understand why players can't do what they could Obviously, there will always be exceptions to the rule
  2. I thought that was Brian Potter
  3. I also love Forresrer I'm not sure about him in a two though
  4. I have to admit, when I heard they'd appointed Wilshere I wasn't disappointed
  5. I very much doubt it
  6. I see Hamas haven't returned all the bodies
  7. It's a bit difficult to get a crowdfunder going when someone agree to pay your legal fees I bet he's gucking gutted
  8. It always amuses me when people claim the club's own interviewer should be asking tougher questions
  9. They jump in straight away every time Thick as shit
  10. I've just seen that it is, but it's all on TNT Sport ☹️
  11. It feels a bit weird that it's not before/after a televised match
  12. I agree
  13. The thrill also applies to many, probably a majority, of those protesting But it gives them a sense of community
  14. I actually think it was to establish us in the Championship "Pragmatic ambition" was what they referred to it as, which is about right
  15. They enjoy the power trip that comes with being able to shut down/takeover areas of a big city for a day
  16. This is true For many, it's a hobby
  17. Whatever we do, we have to makes ourselves more solid Start from there
  18. No, not in the league anyway A problem right there
  19. Also, and I can understand why we did it, I think it's pretty clear we decided in pre-season not to prioritise the defence in favour of bolstering our options further forward, likely because we already had a quite a few defenders signed up and we were intending to go from back three/five to a back four with two centre-halves It's costing us at the minute, though
  20. The injury to EE is a real bastard because I think we need a midfield two screening the back four, no matter who we're playing or whether we're at home or away, and we don't really have an adequate replacement I know there's been times we've played bothe ER and Simons together and we haven't been great, but I still think it's the case that we're best off witht he two of them together, and that would prove to be the case if they were given an extended run Maybe Simons and Dempsey could plug that gap in the meantime
  21. Convince, communicate, persuade, encourage Call it what you like, there is a clear hope and motivation that the graffiti will bring people to the faith and increase church attendance You acknowledged as much in your initial post It's out of touch because the messages are extremely safe and the kind of questions the church and those of faith have been asking for some time, the only provocative nature is the fact that they've been plastered within the walls of the church in a mock graffiti style, and I expect that provocation is largely incidental It's very much in keeping with the "How do you do, fellow kids?" approach that has failed previously, except this time in a way that just pisses off a section of their own congregation that bit more
  22. Right, so this particular art installation is to convince then I'm not sure it's really a choice between this and being seen as an old and fusty institution - if anything, the installation itself makes the institution appear old and fusty because it comes across as an out-of-touch, middle-class attempt to appeal to people they don't really understand
  23. Well, I'm going of you referring to Christians wanting to increase attendances in your initial post Presumably you think that's at least part of the motivation?
  24. There are plenty of regular churchgoers who are very disappointed with it But besides, I'm not sure who it's supposed to convince Who is this demographic of people in "marginalised communities" who don't attend church but might be convinced to attend church on the basis of some very, very safe slogans pretend graffittied inside the church building? It seems incredibly cringe (and more than a bit patronising)
