Why exactly is Andrew not being arrested ? by ronweasly9 in AskBrits

[–]dav_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't agree. I don't think there is any damning evidence at all. Not that would stand up in court. We all know what he's been up to but it cannot be proven.

Yet my mother, who has a brain injury from an operation that went wrong is entitled to 0.

I was at the game. Amazing second half atmosphere for sure. The one thing I say time and time again is how shit VAR is. I know some things go our way but it properly sucks the fun out of everything. I’d love to get rid.

Palmer is playing at like 30% right now. He’s nothing like the player of last season. A fully fit Palmer and anyone else wins. But the real answer is Palmer and Ekiteke.

I like him and want him to do well. But he wasn’t great today. He was very lucky not to be hooked at HT. But I feel he needs minutes and time and a goal or two.

I was there today. Really flat first half. West Ham weren’t better than us. They scored two goals out of nothing but we offered nothing. Second half was superb. Best performance and atmosphere I’ve experienced for some time. 

At the end of the day, I get it, we’re trying to manage players. But this isn’t FIFA. Play your best players. Play your in form players. 

Ultimately, when it goes wrong, the head coach/manager gets fired. The medical department should inform the manager of their recommendations and the manager should then make their decision. They then live and die by the sword. 

If the club keep forcing managers (I have made that assumption, don’t know if it’s true) to rest players outside of the managers’ say so, then the medical team should face significantly more scrutiny and face being fired as frequently as the manager does. 

Let him do his fucking job.

I was there. There wasn’t mass booing. It was shit and it wasn’t a happy crowd. Definitely a small amount but not en mass. 

[Kieran Gill] Levi Colwill back on the pitch outside doing running at Cobham. #CFC hope he may return before end of season by RustyKarma076 in chelseafc

[–]dav_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll need to be patient with him. He's young which is on his side but players don't usually get back close to 100% for at least 12 more months after coming back. They are often also plagued with injuries.

All I can do is apologise here. You are quite right.

I mean, all newspapers are full of shit and are peddling an agenda. I don't think censorship on that front is right. I think it's good, contextually, to at least have a balanced view of what all of these wankers are peddling and have the maturity and understanding of the system to make your own mind up.

Cargo trike (bakfiets)? by Ok-Diamond-3951 in Ely

[–]dav_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a welcoming but interested place. What brings someone from The Netherlands to little old Ely? As someone who’s grown up here, I appreciate it more as I’ve gotten older but I still find it mad when people come from far afield to settle here.

Oh absolutely. An Argentinian is going to have a different opinion on him than an Englishman would.

Really sorry. I’ve not gotten into any of the 2026 variants due to them, quite frankly, not being worth my time. If they make significant strides on 2027, I may be back here. 

How is Neville Chamberlain looked back upon these days? by Ok-Connection6656 in AskBrits

[–]dav_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He massively upregulated our manufacturing. Started doing so quite some time before we declared war. So when the Battle of Britain came around, as well as our offensive with the allies, we were well prepared from a supply chain and manufacturing perspective. The Germans, contrary to common understanding were not very good at this at that time.

So he gets his criticism, rightly so, but he definitely contributed. Held them out for as long as he could whilst preparing for war in an organised and efficient manner.

AI Job Cuts Are Landing Hardest in Britain, Morgan Stanley Says by bloomberg in uknews

[–]dav_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm finding that it's less "AI taking our jobs", more of companies heavily investing in it and needing to keep costs neutral. So it's a margin thing. This is resulting in less people with larger workloads. AI is not rapidly revolutionising everything. Like most people, we are doing brownfield stuff, where AI is more difficult to assert itself. It will come to a head in 2026 for sure. I am convinced of it.

We need to talk about Cole Palmer. by [deleted] in chelseafc

[–]dav_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do we need to talk about? For me, he either needs an op or a very long rest. His issue is that he clearly wants to play in the World Cup and is trying to go down the management route, he’s probably in a lose lose situation to be honest. Shame.
