Bielsa gone

I think Leeds will sack their manager. I think the clubs that might get sucked in to the relegation are Brentford and Leeds. I think Everton might escape but not a given.

I wonder what the reaction to Bielsa would have been from some of our fans here?

I thought so too at first, but then I noticed the ref indicating offside as he finally waved the goal off. Apparently Richarlison was deemed offside in the build-up that lead to the handball. There seemed to be some confusion about it, because the speaker at Goodison Park said it had been ruled as no handball.

I guess it would entirely be informed by performances and results.

If I recall correctly, the issue with Emery wasn't that we couldn't understand what he was saying, although that did not help Rather it was that we could not understand what he was trying to do with the team.

You certainly couldn't say that about Bielsa. Leeds have a very distinctive style which the players work hard at to execute.

I know Bielsa is lauded by the media and by Pep and Arteta. But I would have my doubts. It might be exciting to watch but that high risk football is hugely difficult to execute against teams with better players. There is absolutely no defensive pragmatism to how he gets his teams to play, and to compound it, he won't change even when he is forced to play the kids when missing some of the experienced regulars.

Gosh. Good luck Oleg. https://metro.co.uk/2022/02/27/former-a ... CvWxtjWAc4

So the world has to watch Ukraine getting torn to pieces like it’s some sort of sporting event whilst one of the globes largest armies uses hi tech weapons to blow up blocks of flats of people. You can’t avoid it on the tv and radio a feel like some sort of voyeur when you hear about the carnage.

Every western politician should be painted in Ukrainian colours and dumped in Kyiv. Complete bunch of *%^@*** failures the lot of them. Also likewise for any of the dinlows supporting obvious Russian foreign policy initiatives like *%^@*** brexit, trump and covid denial. Take a look at yourselves you absolute total and utter morons.

Boot every *%^@*** Russian out the country, take their money, property in west London the lot. An absolute failure in humanity.

Thousands of deaths for what, absolutely *%^@*** nothing. If you think we can solve issues like climate change you are kidding yourselves. The world is an evil place.

Yes, being serious now, it feels depressingly helpless for the innocents involved. The only consolation is that even if Putin wins the battle he has surely signed Russia up to a long-term war that will drain them dry. Apparently there are already thousands of dead Russian soldiers, and the Ukrainians will fight hard to defend their lives. Abramovich is ok though...

and I bet you were just as outraged when the RAF bombed Belgrade for nearly three months or when the Yanks killed nearly three hundred thousand Iraqi women and children or created a humanitarian crisis in Syria

Stupid beyond belief , you have absolutely no idea what is going on

Kulusevski looks a good buy for Spurs, we were linked with him, although the prices when we were rumoured to be linked were £30m, Spurs have paid £10m loan fee with a £40m option to buy. Either way he looks a good fit for them and young at only 21.

Thank God for that. Double the forums memory and storage space will do doubt allow me to find the car keys, recall what i was supposed to collect at the supermarket and remember appointments.

I would hold back on 'every Russian' because clearly there is opposition .

No boot the lot. The *%^@*** lot.

Because there’s always opposition but nothing ever happens with them and after Putin there will be another nutter, then another nutter then another in a never ending cycle until we find one that is happy to press the red button rather than just threaten it.

You have your part of the world and we will have ours and just leave it at that, no more killing.

Disagree. If you send them back they'll end up whatever the modern equivalent of salt mines if they are lucky. You area also running the risk of alienating moderate Russians and playing into the hypernationalist narrative that Putin thrives on.

You’ll just keep getting more election interference, political interference more disruption and acquisition of property and things of national importance. I can’t see how it’s rich oligarchs should benefit from the benefits of the west whilst beholding to a murderer.

Something needs to be done to bring them back to the table. Whilst he thinks there are no consequences this won’t end.

It's the political interference that is so dangerous. They have been doing it since about 2012. They've infiltrated UK politics at an insidious level, bankrolling and wining/dining with the Tories. They leaked the Clinton emails, bankrolled Leave.eu during the referendum etc. All to weaken the west and destabilise the EU in an attempt to re-strengthen Russian influence in the region. Hopefully a positive from this dreadful period is that we lose the enthusiasm for populism and we never see the likes of Farage, Arron Banks and their ilk again. They've been in the back pocket of Russia for too long, even posting pro-putin tweets just before the invasion. I hope this is moment we have some kind of reset. Obviously won't happen here for a while as we have those idiots in charge, but slowly but surely we move to a more moderate time.
