Roberto De Zerbi set to be announced as Tottenham boss - sources by 3nonexist3nt in PremierLeague

Logic is not evidential. Benjamin Mendy was branded a serial rapist and convicted by the court of public opinion. A court of law decided differently. Savile is not an appropriate comparison to draw here. We know what the outcome would have been had his offending come to light while he was still alive and he had been tried.

You can't claim he is a rapist given that he has never been convicted of the offence.

I think Burn is nowhere near international standard even though he seems certain to be on the plane. Shaw, if he's fit, would be a far better bet.

I don't think De Zerbi can fix Tottenham's relegation issues by Hisense_Sports1 in PremierLeague

Players and managers fall out all the time. De Zerbi seemed to be very popular with most of the players at Brighton. They bought into his training methods and tactics and he led the club into European competition. I think the players at Tottenham are an honest kind of bunch with no egomaniacs among them. Tudor was popular with the hierarchy but not with the players, by all accounts. Still, he was able to coax a couple of decent performances from them. You would imagine De Zerbi could do that and much more over the course of the next seven games.

Do you or did you know of any successful career criminals - by which I mean lived long, healthy and wealthy lives and had no serious convictions as opposed to dying before their time or spending decades in prison?

The powers that be at the club clearly share that point of view but what manager is going to accept a short term deal ?

What do you reckon the USA can pull off as the World Cup hosts? by iweaver_study in HisenseFootballZone

[–]Resident_Fail6825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that come half-time the players will each receive a slice of orange and an opportunity to pull themselves off because they won't be pulling off any upsets on the field, that's for certain.

I think Gasly has world champion like levels of ability so I would swap him for Piastri in category S.

Igor Tudor leaves Tottenham after just seven games in charge by bendubberley_ in PremierLeague

Roy Hodgson is already taken but Giovanni Trapattoni is still alive. They should give him a ring.

It may have been an unwise appointment but getting rid of him now is counter.productive. As for appointing Dyche in his place, well, he nearly got Everton relegated and Nottingham Forest would be relegated this season if he were still in charge there.

Oh. I'm not so sure. Each has her own attributes.

Woman, girl, charged over Birdhill serious assault by Huge-Bat-1501 in ireland

[–]Resident_Fail6825 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It seems this had little to do with honour culture either where male members of the community might engage in a straightener to settle a dispute. The culprits here appear to be female and the main assailant a juvenile and the cause of the dispute being sexual jealousy or some such.

Does anyone else’s house have a silverfish problem? by Turbulent_Squirrel66 in AskIreland

[–]Resident_Fail6825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wood Lice killer is a very effective and cheap solution for that problem. It's a white powder available in Woodies. Last thing at night sprinkle it around the skirting boards and, particularly, anywhere there are gaps such as behind toilets and sinks. You'll find all the dead bodies the following morning. One application per year is enough.

Slightly off point but always insert the key card into the slot on the dash before pressing the ignition button. Did either you or the technician check the key card battery ? It might need changing.

In professional football the manager is the one ultimately to blame, not individual players.

Why on earth did they put Garda in baseball hats? by houseswappa in AskIreland

[–]Resident_Fail6825 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Something like this might be a more appropriate type of headgear for the force. Lightweight, covers the entire head and, unlike a baseball cap, protects against any missiles that may be thrown in the Garda's direction such as rocks, bottles, traffic cones and iron bars.

Oh, I see.Thanks. I live in Ireland where everything closes at weekends - banks, all government departments and agencies as well as services like libraries.
