    Gaspode got a reaction from SKRam in Serial Whingers Notts Forest playtime, which we simply cannot accept.   
    Potter must be under pressure at Chelsea if he can’t get more out of their squad - they look absolutely clueless - and worse, they don’t really look that bothered….

    Folk need to watch Our Friends in the North - you'll see a whole new side to him - might even realise he's an actor that can do roles other than Bond.....

    Gaspode got a reaction from Miggins in The coronabrexit thread. I mean, coronavirus thread   
    Not sure why you're trying to turn this into a party-political issue (actually I am entirely sure why, but let's leave it there) - but as you're asking, why didn't Labour fix it when they were in power either?
    I can give you a clue what the issue is (and I speak as someone who worked on the ill-fated NHS Digital programme) - the NHS is too big and too intransigent to change - every single part of the NHS that we worked with considered themselves to be 'special' - and consequently, they were far too (self) important to change to a more efficiernt model. An absolute nightmare organisation that needs a complete overhaul, but any government that tried it would find the unions all over it and refusing to change. I reckon you could take 60-70% of the mangement out and no-one would notice (other than those remaining might be forced to work together in a more efficient manner) - just think how many front-line staff you could employ by re-distributing all that management money.....

    Gaspode got a reaction from Ram-Alf in Pele   
    Much as I loved Pele, what an absolutely ridiculous idea. Most countries have one national stadium at most - which they’re unlikely to want to rename - forget Wembley, let’s call it the Pele Stadium - yeah right….
    As for other major stadiums, has the numpty not seen the way they’re named according to sponsorship arrangements? Can you imagine, for example, Arsenal renaming the Emirates as the Pele Stadium and throwing away many millions on sponsorship just to keep the prat in charge of FIFA happy?
    The bloke may not be as corrupt as Blatter, (thoughI i wouldn’t be surprised if some evidence of dodgy dealing feathering his own pocket appears at some part in the future) but he’s certainly in the same league as far as stupidity goes…..

    Austin is the only player I've ever seen at PP to try and start a fight with the North stand - what a tool the man is (though I will, of course, be fully behind him if he signs....)
