If it was a Conservative MP they'd be out on their ear, out on their ear, out on their

Both episodes were really interesting. Even Yelland's point that the first story was a front page splash and then a tiny column on page 2. Normally these kind of stories are backed up with "more on p3,4 and 5" with photos and analysis. The Sun usually goes big on stories but here they didn't because they didn't have much to go big with. It was nothing more than "chuck out some vague shit but in big letters" in the hope that the general Sun reading population think it is the next Jimmy Savile. And it got the Lee Andersons of this world to push the line that the BBC is a "safe haven for perverts" .......as a member of the multiple sex offending, house of commons porn-watching Tory party. Sure, sure. Reading the response of the likes of @Sergei Gotsmanov you can see that it is absolutely mission accomplished.

You're still accepting The Sun's framing of it when we don't actually know what has happened. Parents of a 20 year old flogging pictures of his arse on OnlyFans, with maybe a bit of light blackmail thrown in, the parents find out a famous name is involved and off they toddle being offered tens of thousands of pounds from the Murdoch media for a TV interview and the opportunity to blame their adult junkie sons failings on a famous man instead of their own shit parenting. There are MPs who have done comparable things that have not been "out on their ear" because they are still MPs, Chris Pincher is still there, and there's at least one on a sexual assault charge that we don't even know who it is yet, and they are still there. Boris Johnson recommended women for senior government jobs of the back of them noshing him off in a government buildings, he got another women preferential access and government contracts off the back of him banging them, he cheated on his wife while she was being treated for cancer, he's got kids we don't even know about etc etc etc. But I know you are absolutely fuming about all that as well.

Can someone please check on Shane Long and Andrei Kanchelskis?

So this lot are supportive of going back to bin collections every week instead of every fortnight? Great if true.

Saw it earlier as I still follow him. I am going to assume his non compliance involves playing quite a lot of golf.

People are talking like Patrick Colleter never existed.

No, they're not the same. You are a fucking piece of work.

So the experienced veteran player we are signing is going to be Steve Morrow?

Russell Martin has had a fair crack of the whip. It's not working out so he should just fuck off now.

Put on the stream about eight seconds before Benfica scored. Back to work.

A twitter Political news site (that I'd never seen before) have gone all in and named the guy in question, labelling it as an "exclusive" story.... On top of that, now there's a third bloody story, they've managed to get a Covid angle. It can't be long before he outs himself, probably with an "I've been such a fool" interview with the Daily Mail or Mirror.

A 27 year old. Well done Saints 👏 👏 👏 👏

Well I wasn't far wrong...nearly

Fair enough, until the 6pm news I was expecting a GB News maverick to blab it, or a John Leslie "accidental" reveal, I think that nearly happened yesterday. Anyway, newspapers printing dubious stories and declining to print a "right of reply" denial even though they had it is pretty bloody bad as well. No doubt all those that were full of self righteous indignation about the BBC will be absolutely furious with the Sun now. Won't they?

Or maybe not.....plot twist

Only a matter of time before GB News go for broke and just name him. As long as all they say is "xxxx is under investigation by the BBC" I can't really see how they can be sued or stopped. By the time there is an Ofcom investigation or whatever, it will be known that what they said was true. Every single person reading the news knows who it is. The dam will break very quickly.

By some distance the best announcement of a British monarch's death on the BBC that I have ever seen.

If he'd have been here last season he would have been shit and off the pace just like he was when he got laughed out of West Ham.

Are you saying you don't want Wayne Bridge and James Beattie back next season?

There's nothing on Twitter except idle speculation. Yesterday morning Twitter divs had all decided it was Jeremy Vine.

We finished stone bottom last year with less than 30 points so whatever Callebero did was negligible to irrelevant. Good luck to him in the Kelvin Davis role at Leicester.

If this was any other 39 year old none of the divs on here would be remotely interested in him signing for us.

THE GREATEST ERA IN OUR HISTORY

I don't see how this is "feel good" signing at all. He'll be 40 during next season. Absolutely ridiculous.
