    I've always been a 'happy clapper' for want of a better term with England but I'm really starting to lose interest. Complete shambles top to bottom. I've actually found myself unintentionally paying more attention to the Ireland national team (being part Irish I should add) as a result of it.

    Watching England play is so predictable.
    Personally don't watch the games any more.
    City over England every time for me.

    who knows he might just get 20 twenty minutes in a full england shirt while still with city, meanwhile love his attitude, comes across as very level headed and quite modest.

    You said "if only we could get him a partner!" which to me implies go out and buy. So that is why I mentioned transfer. Which really is irrelevant anyway as we play one up front if you ever noticed.
    As what position I'm thinking about splashing cash on. I'm not, I will wait until mid to end December and then think about it. There are never bargains in January so you need to be savvy in the loan market IMO.

    squad = modern day = rotation ... or it did ! although we may rotate one or 2 players from time to time it seems to make little difference to us as we have a reasonable squad with players that are generally much of a muchness ...should we get him a partner from wherever! ... we should or could readily adapt to 2 at the front. Football today is more like thinking outside of the box ....and I don't mean penalty box .....
    Warlock .. there will be no middle ground with him at Cardiff, flat on his face or top 6! he has almost brought in half a team and only been there a week!

    No Chocolate tastes like it did in the past. All the fun (and taste) has been taken out of food and drink....such as E numbers.

    England has the best chocolate in Europe IMHO
    Whatever the mismanagement nasties surrounding these companies, Cadbury have the best chocolate and Starbucks have the best take-away coffee.
    Wether Cadbury's chocolate has got worse I wouldn't know, but my memories of it from my kid hood are magical, and the much lauded Swiss and Belgian efforts are sickly in comparison to that.

    Other things Britain is good at are sausages and beer - at their best comparable with the movers and shakers of European cuisine.
    British breakfasts - an energy fast track for 8am
    Whisky - of course - Irish or Scotch
    Our milk tastes better than the continental
    Cheddar is the best cooking cheese in Europe, but else wise the French and Dutch have pretty much got this sewn up, as they have with many things food.
    Cant think of any more right now, but i'm sure there are loads...

    there was a programme totally devoted to the rip off by kraft of Cadbury's ... every single promise bar one was broken within weeks / months then year
    The Cadbury /Fry's chocolate formula had been unchanged for decades almost since the first bars. Cadburys coated nuts and raisins were the the world's best chocolate ..biggest sales were to ARABIAN countries AND THEY WANTED THE BEST .I know I did a year working on them! The next few in the top ten were Swiss Belgian AND Cadbury DAIRY MILK WAS UP IN THERE.

    Analysis of production in Poland showed a severe weakening of chocolate content, and thus flavour . . . thus cheapening the cost of the product that was gently hiked up in price ... trading on the name! Not saying they caught a cold on the millions they spent putting the factory together ... yet ... but wage increases has lessened the profitability .. and 90% of the Cadbury chocolate we eat comes from abroad now! this is only a guide and figures are as I remember them ...

    The bitch who closed Keynsham should have had the deal nulled by the U.K. because she lied to all and sundry. We just have to hope that the chocolate world is never taken over by Hershey, regarded by all my southern cousins to be the best in the world, because it tastes like **** or worse. I can remember many school trips to the Fry's factory and taking home broken pieces of Crunchie as a treat - oh happy days when most of the world's product were made in England. We also had school trips to the W.D. and H.O. Wills factory just down the road from Ashton Gate, but I suppose that would be regarded as child abuse in today's correct world.

    that was the biggest open faced lie ever .. let the deal go through, we will borrow from RBS and not close Keynsham they had hoped to asset strip it for a few million! they haven't yet... the remains are of historic value!
