Unless there has been a dramatic improvement in nearly all areas of his game I can't see space for him here considering we will probably have Kolli, Lloyd and Celar at least as options next season.
Are people genuinely surprised by this!? I mean, really?
Fair enough if your some innocent, optimistic fresh faced 20 something still to learn how politics really is.
But for me no excuses for anyone who's been around a while and really thought a PM who was already a Sir and only joined Parliament in 2015 wasn't being shoehorned in by the established Power Base.
Everything and I mean EVERYTHING about him has always screamed Blair 2.0.
Edit - not aimed at you Rangersdave. Used quote button by mistake!
I think they all got phones once they started secondary school. Might be a bit harder to hold off that long now a few years on.
As regards the parties, life etc thing... We are, of course, all wired differently but I remember making a conscious decision quite early on in parenting to NOT expect the worse to happen to them and to know that they had to live their lives and have their bumps and lessons on the way. God knows we all did!
So when it came to parties, drink, drugs etc we used to chat about it all with them as they were approaching the age of doing it. Not fear mongering, but more honest discussions about our experiences, what to be careful about and the signs of feeling you might 'need it' too much etc. All tailored to each of their different personalities.
We pretty much let them do what they wanted within reason and they all talked to us about their experiences and didn't feel they had to hide anything (well most things!). I think it means a lot to the kids to be trusted and my experience is that they want to repay that by being trustworthy and honest (ish!) back. It has also meant that if they are sliding towards a problem in that area it is easy to spot and give advice/support allowing them to build their own self management skills, rather than them being isolated with it.
Still plenty of challenges but that's life.
Completely understandable to be fearful for your kids but I reckon you don't want to pass that on to them too much if you can.
I think the last 3 years has traumatised us to the extent there were posters saying they'd 'take a point' away to Plymouth who were bottom of the league and had spent the last 6 months being 'coached' by Wayne Rooney and also to Hull who were in freefall, in a relegation spot and had the worst home record in the league!!
Don't get me wrong I haven't gone into a game for years expecting to win. But I mean, if you're taking a point in those games when are you hoping to get all three?!!
We've reverted to playing AROUND at the back as opposed to playing OUT from the back. It's always very noticeable with us. Neither Field nor Varane look remotely interested in moving the ball forwards or supporting the man on the ball further up the pitch.
The press is working quite nicely. They are struggling to get out when we pressure the man on the ball. They look okay if they get a bit of space and time but their confidence is definitely going to be fragile if we don't let them settle.
