Graham Potter: hold my beer.

I think at times like this, when what we are talking here about is a man's job, his livelihood, his reputation and maybe his career, what you have to remember is all of this is all absolutely as funny as fuck.

2 weeks time. He'll be sacked by then. We'll get the fucking sacked/ new manager bounce

Awful lot of "why can't a father stand up and speak in a university without fearing for his life" performative weeping from the same people who will stand and say nothing should be done to stop hundreds of school children being slaughtered by nutcases with guns. Kirk diminished those kids to some tiny percentage, suggesting they were a price worth paying for gun ownership and was in the process of sneering at the same point just before he was shot. But being shot with a gun is bad now, huh.

Word for word this is just like what the families of Jo Cox and David Amess were saying This guy was definitely all about politeness and resolving differences through talking, wasn't he.

Mosley was polite and gentlemanly etc, I'm not sure that in itself refutes or diminishes this guy's declared opinions on abortion or race. Also I have been reading the "he was so nice behind the scenes, the "real" him wasn't like that etc etc etc. Basically saying that the guy doing the town hall and podcasts was a character, just an act. I'm not sure that it is better. Anyway, all I can see is people trying to have it both ways, simultaneously trying to say he was a moderate and non violent and conciliatory while at the same time trying to demonise and attack the "other side" and seek retribution.

Give him three full years and he'll be just like Alex Ferguson.

1989 called and it wants its sparkling observations back.

Anything lower than fourth would be an absolute disaster and feels impossible (unforgivable) considering the squad and money spent. I'll be pessimistic and say a soul destroying third. But we still win at Wembley.

Fucking hell, Forest.

I agree, the huge volume of cash from UK tax payers to social care and pensions (benefits) for old people is absolutely out of control. Of course, the Reform people never talk about that because that parasite generation forms the vast majority of their core voter base. But if you want to talk about non productive people hoovering up state spending then you could definitely start there.

In 2024 Tories were still twatting on about the Liam Byrne note that he left in the treasury in 2010 so I think Labour can still blame the Tories for the absolute fuck up they left behind in all public services. Let's remember the NI cut that Sunak put through was just salting the earth to make it more difficult for Labour because that was clearly not what the nation needed at that point with public services on their fucking knees.

Four seasons at Blackburn and Armstrong never played Burnley (who were in the Prem the whole time). Must have played vs Preston though, which is a Saints vs Bournemouth not-really-a-derby derby.

They will all have played in similar local Derbies.

Pompey spent three quarters of last season in the relegation zone of the Championship, if i remember they didn’t win until October or something. If that was us instead you'd be spitting blood about how shit we were, not glibly saying it would be no surprise if they beat one of the richest teams in the division.

A neutral would see it an upset because we are the bigger club, most recently in the Premier League and with a much bigger wage and transfer spending. ITV will definitely pitch it as a challenger club taking on a promotion contender. This isn't complacency, it is the reality of the situation. What we always have to remember is that you are not neutral. I’ve never seen you post anything on here that isn't about how terrible we are and how everything we ever do is awful. So when you start your usual shitposting that you would be surprised if we lose, well yeah. Of course. I'd be amazed if you said anything else.

You bunch of wet wipes pissing yourself because a local journo didn't just blandly say our new players is just simply wonderful. I take more from that interview than some video of him scoring some goals at what could be a Conference/National League stadium. Let's hope he does the job but he's obviously not the finished article otherwise he'd be going up the Bundesliga not hopping sideways/down to the English second tier.

He played Futsal. Simon Clifford would approve.

In January he would be free to agree a contract with a new club I think. So in theory that could be Charlton.

1 entire match.

The deadline is not the deadline to release a comedy animation.

We'd want £30m for THB so cannot see anyone paying that because he's not worth that.

Bit weird that he has waited until the very last day. Honestly thought he'd decided to retire. Presumably he has been training with someone.

Mane and Toby Alderwireld people. We've done some out of nowhere deadline day business before.

I was promised getting it in the fucking mixer
