How are you doing for The Magpies this year, do you think...

Badly

Lack of investment in the quality of the players. A clueless manager and an owner that won't spend any money.

But there is money ... so it's not the problem, but as you say if I understand it correctly, the manager should be replaced so that it has a positive effect ... partly in the short and long term.

The owner keeps the profits for himself and doesn't reinvest it into the team.

Mike Ashley! Greedy and stingy.

I put it here in this football related thread-even though it isn't about English football. They are mentioned in the article

I found it very interesting I have used translate.

The Danish national team's great hypocrisy

The national football team, together with the English national team, will kneel against racism and for Black Lives Matter on Tuesday. The jokes are consequently queuing up on social media.

There are two problems in misery.

One is the hypocrisy that both the Danish and the English national team expose. For what about racism and slavery in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Middle East? Do the same players intend to show up in 2022 for the World Cup in Qatar, whose new stadiums have been built by slave laborers from Nepal and India, several thousand of whom died during the work?
Yes, obviously.

With this, the players - and Dansk Boldspil Union with the slogan ‘A Part of Something Bigger’ - will in a figurative sense kneel before racist and oppressed regimes. From where billions of kroner every year are transferred to European football clubs. There is apparently agreement to stick to being against American police brutality, some statues as well as some old movies.

This brings me to the second problem. And no, that's not a euphemism for something else, but it is also true that Black Lives Matter exists in dubious versions.

On the other hand, the Danish national football team, by kneeling against racism, opens a door that cannot be closed again. Should the national team then e.g. not also brought into the stadium under a rainbow flag? And what about all the other worthy, universal human affairs? How about running twice around the track in honor of the fight against naming Inuit as 'Eskimos'? What about Save the Children, the Red Cross, the fight against global warming and support for saving the rainforest?

Can't the national team beat a bucket for them?

Which, by the way, reminds me of another DBU slogan: 'Together against homophobia'. On the occasion of UEFA and the DBU's anti-homophobic set of rules

In Qatar, there is the death penalty for homosexuality.

Is there a politically correct form of expression to cover up the contradiction that one likes to play for regimes that kill homosexuals, but whistle everything when shouting 'gay ass' in domestic football stadiums?

Is there a politically correct form of expression to cover up the contradiction that one likes to kneel against racism when it comes to African-Americans, Afro-English and Afro-Danes, but bends the neck when Nepalese perish in gruesome and systematic exploitation in Qatar ?

If DBU has any answers, I would like to hear from them.

I always miss kickoff so these things don't really matter to me.

But next saturday half past seven 16 year absence comes to an end. Poor man's Community Shield, premier winner against championship winner. I also have the dubious privilege of betting on behalf of our group in the opening round. Great opportunities or catastrophic failures...

Jimbuna · 09-07-20, 11:48 AM

With me it is usually the latter

Obltn Strand · 09-08-20, 06:18 AM

That's the way it usually goes.

13 matches with 3 three options each. (Home/away win or draw) Five two option choises and one with all three. This round it will be Liverpool - Leeds. This option is usually reserved for boro. It always fails.

Difficult but good thing it only costs 5€ per week.
