If we were going to get methodically dismantled, today was a good time to have it happen. Lerner will see that no matter how promising and occasionally good this young side is...we need some new players in January, badly. I hope Lambert and the scouts have some quality lined up and ready to sign on the line which is dotted.
Massive wakeup call for everyone involved.
Let me try: Young team, punching above their weight, maybe a bit too cocky on the heels of the Liverpool result, a loss was always likely, hopefully this result gives them plenty to discuss and correct as the season progresses.
This is a painful crash back down to Earth. Probably naive to expect even a point from this match. Something to learn from at best, hopefully they rebound from this and get something from Spurs.
My sister knew one of the murdered kids through a friend. She spent a day with her last summer, said she was a sweet, beautiful girl. Sad beyond words, really.
Is there any notable difference between police forces in England and how they are perceived by the citizenry? (South Yorkshire vs West Midlands, etc.) Any one force have a particularly bad reputation?
Obama has tapped John Kerry for Secretary of State, with Hillary Clinton resigning. He should easily be approved, meaning Massachusetts be short one senator and will have it's second special election for senator in three years. It's possible that the seat goes to a Republican, (most likely Scott Brown again) so this is a risky move by Obama. The early consensus is that Ted Kennedy Jr. will run for the Dems.
