I received an official looking letter this morning. Jury duty. Phew! Thank God for that. At first I thought I had been called up to be England Manager.

The standard of intelligence in the jury pool was woeful, to the degree that the bone questions being asked by my fellow jurors after a simple 3 minute power point presentation was frightening
If you think about the level of intelligence of the average person, which isn't that great then consider half the population are thicker, by varying degrees, than that benchmark, then you realize we are all doomed.

Best to try and get out of jury service if you can. So far I've never been selected for it
Anyone watch Keith Richards take over TV last week? He had the Hancock's half hour when he was a juror with Sid James. They were rigging the jury. Sid to get another 4 days pay out of them. Hancock was just trying to get the defendant off. They got all to go not guilty but Hancock suddenly changed his mind after something the other juror said. Very funny with a twist at the end. If juries are like that then perhaps a change of system?
I did not understand the original choice... thinking we are censored hence we deserve a censored manager is one thing, paying £ 3M for a censored manager is a completely different ball game. I think the FA is a bunch of muppets, they had the opportunity of taking on board Redknapp, who was keen to do the job, while they chose Hogson, who had a long history of international under achievements... at least he was a gentleman, while this one was censored and a crook... I think it's time to send the FA management home
The entirety of Football is beyond a joke. How on earth they can pay Managers and players multi-millions for kicking a bag full of wind around for 90 minutes is beyond me.

That's the business they generate... one might argue that there are a number of dodgy figures who earn the same or more without even kicking the ball around... Do you know that Mino Raiola, Pogba's manager (among other players) pocketed 20% of the transfer fee, that is around 15 M pounds, for facilitating a transfer... how about that for a joke?

Stunning.
It's just a hill. Get over it.
You might be attending Allardyce's trial.
Over and done in an afternoon then

Yes, I think I am beginning to notice that more often in recent times. :roll:
