The simple answer would be "whichever is more likely to get you (at least towards) where you want to go".

And when the (very) vintage Ferrari spends much of the journey going backwards, thus rendering you farther from your intended destination than you were when you began that trip (and getting even further away with each passing mile), I'd HAVE to try the Golf Diesel, as, though it may not be as sexy a motor, when the other car has proven that it's simply not going to get you there, it's the better option, because it MAY get you there.

It may not have been when you first bought the Ferrari, of course. But that's a long time ago now.

Sorry, but I'll never be satisfied with a Golf diesel.

Even if the alternative simply doesn't work?

A broken but formerly sexy car car is better than a functional but less attractive car? Even if it doesn't go?

Benitez had totally lost it and had to leave.

Hodgson had done a fine job for two years on a tight budget. He was a logical choice for the job and needs more time before people start jumping on his back.

We won't persist with the clones in the middle, and we've had a tough start to the season. Things are going to get better. I'm still optimistic and have faith in the boss.

This is how I feel also.
This 'no one with a clue wanted Roy' is bollocks.

 

[Molbystwin]

I fucked that up in that I voted no I wouldn't swap a Benitez for a Roy ... In the sense that if we had Benitez I wouldn't want Hodgson in his stead.... Bollox I'm dumb ... Anyway phrase the question better ffs. Which do you prefer Benitez or Hodgson etc ...

Either way it's too fricking early for this level of foaming at the mouth and most of you haven't got a leg to stand on with this nonsense. IMO Benitez is better but the case for his dismissal was probably too strong to ignore even if it does mean we end up with an inferior manager and the samefinancial shite as ever fucking him over.

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

I would have taken Paris Hilton instead of Rafa. So I am out.

 

[manwithnoname]

It's not 'bollocks'

You *haven't* got a fucking clue. About anything.

You've made that quite obvious

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Fuck off.

[Whaddapie]

Brendan: Calm down.
Stu: You too.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

No worries Whad, all is calm.

 

[manwithnoname]

As everyone knows, I'm always calm

It's other people who occasionally go a bit...mental

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Ha. So true.

 

[Stulikesdrums]

Anyway, Rafa fucked up and thouroughly deserved his sacking. I wouldn't want him back anywhere near our dressing, not for a second. No one on these boards proclaimed Hodgeson as the messiah or anything of the sort. He can be, and will be IMO, the steadying hand the club requires. No one with a fucking clue would write off a man with 25+ years experience after less then six months in a job. Just give him fucking time.

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

I will give him time Stu. Whether the good Lord does is a different matter.

premiership proven shite (as if!) vrs self handicapper. should really be a both needed sacking box.

i feel sorry for everyone who goes to away games with this special needs cunt in charge. we might get lucky and he'll forget where he's supposed to be one away game.

what's a steadying hand? mid table finish?

he's fucking shit and its plain for all to see.

You preferred Kenny.

That's fine.

But what spcial names would you have conferred upon him had he achieved the same results?

just so i can be sure which bit was objectionable? referring to him as 'special needs' or 'cunt' or combining 'special needs' with 'cunt' in case you could wrongly assume that i felt that all special needs people were cunts.

just checking like 🙂

It's an easy assumption to make in your case

in which case it'd be ok for me to use the term then?

 

[Avmenon]

Only when refering to yourself.

 

[doctor_mac]

I'd swap managers with Birmingham.

Big Eck is an excellent manager, and I wish we'd given him a chance. His experience is already almost as broad-ranging as Hodgson, with the bonus that he has actually managed to win things. Ahh well.

 

[Woland]

I think you're all being mean.

I wish EVERYBODY would sod off calling him a cnut after 4 league matches, to be honest, but that's not what I pulled you up on... Less of the 'special needs' nonsense.

And before ANYBODY tells me I'm being too sensitive, I don't give a f#$! - There are somethings that just don't need to be used like that. Come up with something else, ok?
