ToffeeWeb

We can all stop over-promoting England now and be more realistic.

Every time England got into threatening positions, the players wanted a touch before passing or shooting. It killed our momentum.

And what must Barcelona be thinking when they watch Gordon this tournament?!

Put Madueke on the left and Saka on the right if Bakayo is fit enough. Drop Djed Spence for O’Reilly.

No Brendan, that Motes is as bad as Moyes

Paul, you don’t seem to realise ToffeeWeb is now an echo chamber for people who don’t like Moyes. I very much doubt it’s representative of our whole fan base.

I clearly do wind you up. Calm down mate and have that cuppa. We’re both blues.

Some people have legitimate different views to you, when they do you don’t need to personally abuse them.

Now have a good day.

I am no longer based in the UK, limited to just visiting twice a year. I spent the majority of my career working as an advisor to foreign governments. Asia, Middle East, and now back in Asia (albeit working for a UK company finally!)

I’ve dealt with politicians, Royals and other senior influential types – and trusted very few. But anyone can have skeletons in their closet.

One thing to consider about “dangerous websites” and mainstream media – a respected UK political journalist explained that the reason for the swing to the right in the UK media is a lot of these “news” outlets are now online platforms, and a few years ago realised a lot of their eyeballs were from the US. The Daily Mail and Telegraph particularly got onto this about 8 or 9 years ago. Both those outlets have a desk at the White House press section. Because they need the eyes to push their advertising and subscription model they will quite happily push a right wing agenda. Even to the point of publishing an anti-UK article.

Think about that – a supposed UK “newspaper” printing something anti-UK… But then the Daily Mail has history going back to WW2 – something their average “reader” would have no concept of.

This has been going on for many years, but society has fractured somewhat and in my opinion, a combination of factors (Brexit, Covid, various government scandals etc.) has broken the social contract between Government and people.

We as a society will not be better for it.

A lot of these figures are only interested in enriching themselves. Drumpf is unquestionably the most corrupt President in history – he’s enriching him and his family, and rewarding those who got him there, in plain sight. I have no doubt he’s all over the Epstein files. I have no doubt he was compromised back in 1978 as a Russian asset, but he’s just a symptom of the swing to the right.

Good luck to Andy. He’s going to need it. I suspect he will “fail” but it won’t be for the lack of trying. The UK has become ungovernable.

90 seconds MG, and the rest! So, is it no longer a yellow for subs ‘infringing’? Ridiculous.
