You chose to make a whole uncalled for swipe at Clive, accusing him of at some level wanting Cifuentes to go, merely because he said he'd acted like a professional and done his preparation, like he does for countless stories, some of which never happen such as transfer news.
And your excuse is that it's all about providing a reaction. That's textbook definition of trolling and I'm fed up with it, in social media generally. It's not about a cult of Clive-worship, it's about keeping this place civilised.
Clive is a professional journalist and we're lucky to have him running this site for peanuts.
As a professional, out of respect to the readers (us), to Cifuentes himself, and to his own professionalism, he's not going to want to have to rush out a retrospective on Cifuentes at an hour's notice.
Not planning on wading through this whole thread, but in case it helps anyone I went onto BlueSky about a year ago, used Twitter less and less, and eventually deleted it.
Generally people are way politer (so far), largely (in opinion of most users) because Blocks are both highly effective and not frowned on. There's no culture of "how rude of you to block me" it''s just: not interested on what you have to say: mute. If you want a fight: block. Result: not many fights.
Also there is no algorithm promoting posts based on the response - you either follow someone or you don't. Posts from people you follow appear in chronological order. So attention seekers aren't rewarded by the App.
At first there were a lot fewer journalists and such-like, so it was harder to get news or comment (but equally, you got more engagement from the ones who did.) That's picked up markedly in the last week and it's putting on users at about a million per day over the last couple of days.
Depressingly, if you'd told me that the ever-present Bloke Next To Me at any ground was slagging off Dembele, I'd give you any odds you like that it would be for being lazy.
Bloke I was at school with was a big fan of "Dirk Wears White Sox" era Adam & The Ants and was duly pissed off massively by all the New Romantic stuff.
Little known fact (which probably means absolutely bloody everyone knows it) but Arabella Weir (the "does my bum look big in this" woman in The Fast Show) was backing singer in Bazooka Joe, in which Stuart Goddard/Adam Ant played bass and who headlined the Pistols' first gig. That seems like a bizarre bunch of people to all have been playing at the same gig.
All this is very impressive and after carefully considering all the evidence before me, weighing one thing with another, the only conclusion I can reach is HAHAHAHA (continues until 2030)
It's childish stuff, Brian. Not as if we didn't notice she died. Either you're a monarchist, in which case the whole point of the thing is that as soon as one dies you get another; or (like most of us IMO) you're not too fussed about royalty either way.
It'd be much more cutting (and nastier) if they were rude about David Attenborough or Michael Palin.
But England fans used to be terrible for booing foreign national anthems at Wembley (I think it's not so bad recently).
All flag-shagging is nonsense, international sport doesn't have to be like that. England are playing Sri Lanka at cricket right now and there's not a hint of any of that rubbish.
I've said this before, but Hoos and Ferdinand did important work moving us on from the shambles of the Redknapp (and before) era and left the club better than they found it.
I'm not trying to rake up o6ld ground here - my point is that in many spheres of life a new broom makes a lot of the improvement early on, when the need for change is most obvious and it's about correcting clear errors from the past. Making the right call about the unknowns is tougher, especially if you'e QPR and basically you only have the money to get it right first time. Plus, people get worn down.
