we have Arnott's which is decent quality as far as biscuits go and they put out the Pommy stuff here. They have a shortbread biscuit that looks similar, and probably better than the "jammy dodger". Might give it a go, been 15 years that I've been passing it up in the grocery without a try.

Very impressed with Hooper - he's obviously a talented athlete. Apparently he used to run marathons fairly fast and has now reached the top of the sport in his third year of training. He won eight of the 11 events. We'll see if he can maintain this level! He's also the first Canadian champion.

Scandinavia + Finland used to run Strongman but you've really fallen off lately - only one champion in the last 22 years. :oops: UK have had someone in the top three in six of the last eight years. :cool:

2 wins
4 draws
9 losses

Respect to Rooney for having a go at managing instead of just sitting on his millions cackling, but he isn't a very good manager, he's flopped at Derby County, DC United and Birmingham City now. Still young for a manager though.

Yeah, I'm pleased Hooper won - always good to see new blood, he seems a fucking natural at this shit too. Proper interesting addition to the elites.

Yeah, Rooney is just not very good is he - he does have time on his side, but I think he needs a proper step down to like League 1 maybe.

15 games and 2 wins. Birmingham were 6th when he was appointed, now they are in 18th place. 2 spots above relegation i think.

Might still be decent manager one day but he went straight to the deep end without any experience as coach or youth team manager/first team assistant manager.

I won't take it as a complement though. These nu breed managers ain't got shit on the OGs

Nah he was at Derby and DC, he had experience which was mixed. He fucking blew it at Birmingham

He was player/manager at DC no? Either way he became manager without being a coach or youth team manager first. Look at Xabi Alonso who is killing it at Leverkusen f.e.
One season with Real youth team and then 3 years at Sociedad B, then takes over Leverkusen.

Agree with him being shit at Birmingham though.
 
Thought Rooneh did a decent job at Derby tbf, they were relegated but in fairness they had a massive point deduction and couldn’t sign anyone so had to rely on frees and youth players. All issues that predated his time there. They would have finished mid table otherwise. Haven’t followed him since

Seems like all the recent English player managers are rubbish. Villa played way better right after Gerrard left and he’s been even worse in Saudi Arabia and Lampard is legitimately one of the worst managers I’ve seen in recent memory that has had good opportunities. Maybe Carrick? Idk
