Years ago I remember hearing these complaints on the radio, by Brits on holiday.
1. 'There were too many Spaniards.' Yes, they were in Spain at the time.
2. 'Nobody told us there were fish in the sea. They frightened the children!'.
3. 'It took us 9 hours to fly to Jamaica, but we were...
You can tell it's close season, can't you?
The moment the football finishes, you're off googling a Kremlin org chart like a rat up a drainpipe. :ROFLMAO:
You have voiced what I've been thinking. Plan A didn't always work (and towards the end, it didn't work more than it worked), and Plan B, if it existed, didn't work either.
Note that one former manager did cope when things weren't going well. Potter.
6.
Disappointed at where we ended up this season, mixed feelings about RDZ, and excited to see who the new manager will be, and who he brings in (staff and players).
I'm looking forward to all the speculation.
I remember feeling bereft when Potter buggered off, but that feeling soon wore...
Is there a purge going on in the Kremlin?
Belousov has fired three deputy ministers in Shoigu's team, with one of them being detained on corruption charges (not Ivanov; this is another one).
Another oil refinery has been attacked, this time in Slavyansk, Krasnodar region, 100km east of the Kerch bridge.

David Axe spells it out again:
'“If ATACMS are taking out Russian warships in Sevastopol, hard to see the base having much utility left for the Russians”.
'the frequently-damaged S-400 long-range air defense battery that protects Sevastopol and nearby Belbek air base hasn’t been able to...
Choose your own cliché:
Nothing lasts forever.
There's no loyalty in football any more.
[Insert manager name here] OUT.
It's the result that counts.
Cut your losses.
The RDZ project certainly did deliver early on, but then it began to falter. RDZ got found out by an ever increasing number of...
I expect you have all heard how dangerous Morecambe Bay can be, with stories of cockle pickers drowning in the incoming tides. Well it can be lethal to locals as well.
Lovely photos. As a local, you might want to mention the real dangers of Morecambe Bay though. I've read that story of the...
The Forest of Bowland is a real gem. Much of it is untouched north of the Trough on the old road to Lancaster. Another favourite is Pendle Hill. Climb up the northern escarpment (you need to be fit) and on a clear day, you can see the three peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside in...
This table should be printed out, framed and nailed to the wall.
It is the result that counts. Everything else is irrelevant. The emotion. The passion. 'We are Brighton.'
All of them are irrelevant, unless the result is commensurate. RDZ needed to deliver, and he didn't.
