    Football bloggers might do themselves a favour by avoiding political comment imo.

    Obviously they can write what the hell they like but when one of them wrote this I did question his analytical abilities:

    And as I wind this piece up the news has started. The scenes I am seeing in Barcelona make me seethe. The grandchildren are growing up in a world that would be much better were Trump not effectively in charge of the free world, and if another European conflict was not a real possibility. Perhaps I had best leave it there.
    Now, one might argue that his comments about Trump are seperate from his comments about Barcelona, but it does rather look as if he is blaming Trump for the actions of the Spanish police, which would seem a very odd thing to say, and when he finished with "Perhaps I had best leave it there" I was thinking "perhaps you have already said too much, my friend".

    No, it's Goonerholic. But yes, Mr Mangan does like to remind us of his position and the righteousness of it.

    To be fair to him, he doesn't approach the levels of sanctimony and right-on pretension of thon Geordie off the Football Ramble. That bloke makes Ian Harvey seem reasoned and open-minded.

    Yes, the "good people" seem to have their knickers in a twist about our election ONE YEAR ago. Which is why he got elected.

    He talks about another European conflict being possible as thought it's a bad thing. Personally, I think it's just what we all need. Clear the air a bit, sort of thing.
