Hear, hear."Since Margaret Thatcher stopped teachers being paid extra money for coaching sports after school, all sporting activities have diminished on a competitive basis.
"Kids are now more obese and unfit than ever. All the prime young athletes we were ready to develop just aren't there, so we get a lesser quality of player.
If my country had a leader that bad in the 1980s, it would also have had a lot of kids drinking and taking drugs.cuban said:kids have far more things to do, computers, tv...or just doing nothing and drinking, taking drugs, hanging around and stuff because its popular at the moment...you want to say this is because of Thatcher??

Beksl said:Just food for thought cuban, but think about all the countries from the iron courtain who haven't been influenced by the spread of neoliberalism until the 90ies and where the feel of socialism is still strong.
Small countries like Slovakia, Serbia, Slovenia all have great success in different sports even though the general economic situation is worse and investments are lower then in Western/Cetrnal Europe...

Sounds like Leo Durocher. Except Durocher was a little pipsqueak. And, unlike Allardyce, quite bald. And, also unlike Allardyce (as far as I know), in bed with a lot of cheap floozies AND the mob. Actually, Allardyce is looking a lot better by comparison.Gooner_Stu said:Fat Sam is quite good at the Blame Game isnt he. Everyone else, but him.
