  • Southgate yes as England's second most successful manager, Khan no (maybe once retired) but for me I am delighted that Gerald Davies the brilliant Welsh and British Lions winger and longtime administrator has been awarded with a knighthood.

    Having met him he is a fine man and well deserving of this honour for a lifetime's service to his sport.


  • Look how proud his Dad is 👍🏼
  • Under Sadiq Khan a full audit of West Ham’s contract for the Olympic Stadium exposed exactly how shoddy it was and they now pay nearly double the rent the original contract allowed for, albeit nowhere near enough. He has also said it won’t be sold to those ****ers on his watch. 

    Some contrast to the previous Mayor who did the shoddy deal and then did his level best to cover it up. Doubtless the next Mayor will be a Tory, bouyed by a handsome donation from Prague ( Kretinsky, not me🤣) and then it will be sold to them. 

    That alone is not worth the knighthood, but its a bloody good start. Integrity and good governance on display. Contrast that to the scumbags in the Lords trying to block the Football Regulatoŕ, led by none other than Baroness Brady


    Investigating something dodgy your predecessor from the other party did in office is hardly especially brave or noteworthy. It's a free hit.

    Kretinsky's takeover of Royal Mail has just been approved by the current LABOUR government, so I doubt he'll be bankrolling the Tories anytime soon.

    I agree with you there. Strange to give it to him whilst he's still mayor.
  • In a world of smug bellends, you have to go some way to find a bigger one.

    Wow, I was only replying to @cafcdave123 !
    Very good young man 🤣

    London is a fantastic city and the Knighthood (so far as gongs mean anything) is well deserved.
    shocked at this a long standing archaic award based on our colonial past.

    Irrespective of the merits of the Mayor of London, the fact anyone can get this award before Kevin Sinfield just shows what a nonsense it is
    this with bells on. 

    however he has only raised millions and lost his best mate and not bought uncontrolled violence to the capital of England aswell as other nonsense carry on.

  • can't understand his popularity, however he is a long standing public servant and this honour is par for the course .. Boris and Liz Truss next ??

    Genuinely astonished that people can bring themselves to get upset about knighthoods in this day and age. Unless he’s going to participate in a siege or turn up to feudal councils I’m not sure it really matters. Have a chocolate orange and stick The Guns of Navarone on, it’s going to be ok. 

    You might not care about the knighthood nonsense but please that others do. You can get back to watching cartoons as you can escape from reality.
    You really don't have to comment on this thread if you have no opinions on knighthoods.
    I do, so I used my soapbox to share it.

    Talking of escape.
    I did watch 'Escape to Victory' for only the 2nd time and my Favourite actor Michael Caine was even superb in that fun film and thankfully that game didn't go to penalty, though we did have Pele and Ardiles 😀
  • David Cameron's hairdresser was far more deserving.

    I smiled when I read that he was getting a knighthood, knew it would rile up all the right people. 
    I see your Khan getting a knighthood and raise you Trump being reelected.

    😉
  • I'd consider changing 'Empire' to 'Isles' maybe, but my views on it aren't strong, and I'm a long time out of London so have no need to incur the wrath of Khan.
