Here we go. What exactly are you talking about here? What's this got to do with the Country Paletine? Why was Lancaster vital to the throne? Is the point in time you are referring to more than 600 years ago? Because that is when the aristocracy took Lancashire’s land and is why the Monarch still ow...

Are you drunk? You were banging on about 1/. Lancaster vital for the crown (was this the war of the roses?). I have no idea what you are rambling about here, other than the House of Lancaster? 2/. Anglo Saxon times. 3/. The North West wasn't part of England etc etc etc. All of which seem more than ...

Agreed. This is a thread about Trooping the Colour. I have no wish to exchange views with un patriotic anti British people. Or idiots who intimate at taking the Queen out with snipers. I was a British Soldier in the 70’s and early 80’s and am proudly patriotic. That’s all. I am neither anti-British...

A wide school of thought? Really? I used to berate the Irish for fighting over stuff that happened 300 years ago. It now appears some English people can get upset by things that happened 600 + years ago. Could it just be something as simple as London is the capital. Traditionally, Trooping the Colo...

There is a wide school of thought that, as usual, it is a London centric celebration of London’s power and glory. Empire and aristocracy is just the means of keeping the classes in awe of the ruling class, who literally ‘lord’ it over the rest of us. It is one of the biggest slights of hand of all t...

So if it's good that Alan Pace isn't communicating with the fans, does that mean he was wrong when he took over to emphasise that he wanted to communicate with the fans?

I can see this going down like a lead bloom with sponsors if it was to become common knowledge. Replica shirts around the area are like walking billboards, the more sponsorless shirts sold, the lower the brand awareness… the lower the sponsorship value.

No,
i'd say the biggest mistake was giving Sean Dyche a four year contract.

It is hard to argue. He came across less edgy and more carefree, once he was on a long contract. In hindsight that was possibly the edge.

But in the Donbass, those prepared positions have been there since 2014, and heavily fortified since.
