I agree this country is a mess. But it's also fair to say that a random person's physical safety is pretty low down the list of the UK's problems.
Very true, same here. Unless you get involved in the cartels or are looking for trouble life is quite peaceful here.
Kacanilik has 2 assists as Watford win away from home 2-1 v Derby. And according to reports should have won a penalty. The guy certainly seems to being his bit helping them put some decent results together.
In the last 2 games he has been the heart of out attack. He never stops and the penalty was a dead cert according to comms. Im very happy to have him here. A great acquisition.
"Don't get me wrong, I have love for England but right now there is nothing too great about Britain". Please people, be more specific. You make these claims and I have often heard them made, usually by ex-pats, rarely by foreigners. When I used to travel abroad regularly and was discussing what life was like in the UK (England, Britain - these terms are interchangeable to most foreigners) I used to tell them one simple fact - that the UK is one of the very few countries in the world (perhaps the only one?) where the police do not routinely carry firearms. That simple fact is enough for me to think that we are far from being "in a mess" or "nothing too great". I would venture to suggest that if you asked most "neutral people" in the world whether they would prefer to live in the UK or Mexico (or even Norway or France for that matter), there would be only one answer - and they wouldn't be packing their sombreros..........
I think I was listening to this when I wrote it, hope it is specific enough for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK04-IxxfIw
I am not quite sure how you can be neutral about where you live. You either like it, dislike it or are not in a position where you can choose. If you speak to the ex-pats that I know, there are a multitude of reasons why they came here. Some do indeed dislike the changes that have taken place over the years and find that many of the principles that they hold to be important still survive in this country. To ask the locals about what they think life is like in England will get some quite funny responses as they do not really have much idea. Bad weather, expensive houses and binge drinking would come up quite frequently, but no real notion apart from the riots around the country and similar things that get a spot on the TV news. Oh and the other thing that they know about is the Royal Family which they treat with great respect. Not sure if the guilt still hangs on.
How did this thread get to this point? It was football orinetated and now we have ex-pats justifying why they moved abroad because a footballer choose to move back home because he did not like living in the UK. Can we keep it on thread?
Nah we are all responsible for it. Peace to all the Hornets, nothing wrong with a few opinions flying around though! Here's to an unlikely push to the play offs or at least giving it our best shot and having a good run in !!
This thread is about a couple of ex-pats! From what I here, one of whom should stay with us for a long time. I don't know enough about the other one yet but I'm sure Fulham will be disappointed that he isn't getting game time.
The only thing I can think of is that Dyche always seems to speak about players working hard and giving their all. When we lose, he says that he couldn't fault the effort. Against Southampton Trotta didn't look to be trying particularly hard, and if this continued into training then Dyche may not have been impressed. Just a thought.
It's probably a very good thought. I hadn't thought of it, but he did look lacklustre against Southampton...you've probably hit the nail on the head..
yes, but he was a little too greedy, and his passes and crosses, when he did them, often went astray.
