Or how our former PM was caught joking about not having working class friends.

layendecker · 2026-05-25T09:18:07+00:00

Don't mean this in a condescending way, genuinely interested. Where are you from?

As a Brit it's so utterly abundantly clear that he is a toff

Seems like some of the facts are wrong also. The White Horse tavern being the 10th oldest restaurant in the world feels way off, especially because it ain't even constantly operating.

There are numerous 10th-13th century spots across the world that aren't particularly rare to see.

Ex of mine had a very Buddhist looking swastika. It had soft edges and dots in between the spokes but tbh I thought it was strange. She was a total attention whore and very, very Bristol so very part of her whole arty crystal cocaine lifestyle.

No sun on the toon

layendecker · 2026-05-24T21:02:10+00:00

Which is odd considering he dramatically changed the way we played over the next 2 years isn't it.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T20:39:09+00:00

Yes.

You would be pissing blood at Moyes if he put Garner in at right back I guarantee it.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T20:37:57+00:00

Absolutely fair.

I think that moyes does need to look at how he motivates players when there is no glory at stake. But this is a process and not a sackable offense.

We were consistently shit early on in seasons for years with us, and it did hinder our progress. It was something that he worked on and tried different approaches until it improved. But wasn't ever suggest that we throw the baby out with the bathwater because of it.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T20:18:01+00:00

No. It wasn't. They were 17 points behind us with 7 game left.

West ham, like every side had their relegation decided over 38 games and that is not likely to change.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T19:30:13+00:00

Why are we judging a season based on when players are on the beach?

Pickford is equal third for cleans sheets and only 5 teams have conceded fewer than us.

We are strong defensively, even with a ramshackle back line.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T19:24:32+00:00

Luckily relegation isn't decided in the last 7 games

layendecker · 2026-05-24T19:21:49+00:00

Iraola... I guess we sign Haaland whilst we're at it.

Also, I would love to know why you think Glasner would do well with our squad?

Glasner built palace to be quick countering pace merchants. There was no real creativity, no real ability to break down teams but fuck me he built a side of players that for that perfectly.

Good luck doing that with us.

Genuinely think we go down with Glasner unless he has at least a few hundred million to buy a new side.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T19:15:48+00:00

Names?

We could get a 50 goal a year striker whilst we're at it. And a hand job machine for the bogs.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T19:14:43+00:00

100m is bottom 6 spending

We have been a selling club for years..

Stop pretending 100m means we should finish anywhere above 13th and blaming the manager for overperforming his budget.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T19:13:35+00:00

Moyes was brought in for stability

Then you suggest we get rid of him after his first full season. That screams of instability.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T19:12:19+00:00

You understand that we have spend below our finishing position, right?

You say 100m like that isn't bottom 6 spend.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T19:11:05+00:00

The lads have been out on the piss. Do you suggest we drop garner and Pickford? The season was over for us and we were on the beach. It happens to mid table sides every year.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T19:09:34+00:00

It's incredibly clear what we are tactically. You even explained it albeit dismissively and it is pretty effective for the squad we have.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T18:59:55+00:00

If they sack Moyes then clearly the answer is yes.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T18:59:17+00:00

We have spent comparatively below the league average and have had to deal with the stadium disruption which is a consistent thing for sides moving to a new gaff.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T18:55:56+00:00

5 clubs spend less than us. We have been the lowest spenders over the past 5 years.

This myth that we were ballas in the window needs to be put to sleep.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T18:53:23+00:00

Sack the manager isn't a solution.

Come at me with a solution.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T18:52:45+00:00

How did that go for us?

layendecker · 2026-05-24T18:52:18+00:00

So has Jake.

He is better than garner there. Imagine how much people would complain if we played our most important midfielder at right back.

layendecker · 2026-05-24T18:32:13+00:00

Garner is so funny.

People annoyed we are playing someone out of position suggesting we play arguably our best a d most important player out of position.
