Our head coach and our illustrious chairman are fielding questions on Facebook today.
It’s no surprise that THFC have opted for the Facebook platform over Twitter.
Keeping club communications dumbed down is major priority with this regime.
If you’re going have to engage with the oiks, then at least choice the semi literate ones, as they can’t wound you as the sharp oiks can.
Some of the plebs Client Reference Numbers have begun to leave their comments, and the results so far remind me of that episode of The Simpsons where Homer pleas to Dr Monroe, “How can you tell who’s sane, and who’s insane?!”
The One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest vibe is on a par with the comments section of this blog.
The scariest questions are the posed as if the questioner is secretly hoping catch someone’s eye and become the next Paxman.

Two, we have similar – ish resources.

My hunch is that Fenway Sports will be paying increased attention to Brenda’s shopping list this summer. Even if you deduct the loss of Suarez, he has generally speaking bought some dysfunctional tat. This is something the LFC owners won’t want to repeat again in a hurry.
