Why would Boris Johnson have suddenly stood on a Remain ticket in an election he called specifically to deliver Brexit?

Funny that it's on all the newspapers and websites though. Is that just a spectacular coincidence?

I do hope you're not paying attention to evil newspaper journalists. They just make it all up, you know.

If Jesus had wept he would have wept to this post.

Surely we now all agree that anyone who slagged off the owner, or our transfer activities or new signings in the summer were just impatient and fickle fans who didn't have a clue what they were talking about? Because, as I understand it, everything is great now meaning everything was always great the whole time and anyone who complained earlier this season was a fickle impatient idiot with no long term view. That's right isn't it?

That Frankie and Benny's is going to be effing brilliant when it opens.

Absolutely nuts that people still believe this rubbish. He's got an agent, he knows about money, he's heard of the Champions League, he would have his own ambition that he has managed to formulate himself as a fully grown adult. People think humble little Saints players joining up with the England squad is something like Crocodile Dundee being shown around New York City for the first time. Mental.

The south coast is still theirs, right?

So what you're all saying is we were wrong to sack Pellegrino?

Not really. I despise him because he has created a Labour party that could never get elected by populating it with cranks and loons in all positions of influence. He couldn't run the machinery of the party, had no empathy with the public, couldn't appeal beyond his activist base. And every element of the party ended up under the control of the cretin and his band of acolytes. The newspapers say hes fu cking useless because he is fu cking useless. It would have been perfectly possible to have a Labour government post-Cameron, and perfectly possible to have squeaked victory in the EU referendum. I hold him hugely responsible for the first not happening and significantly responsible for the second not happening. So spare me the horsesh it about the howwible newspapers and the howwible meeeja. He had no media plan, his team didn't have a clue on how to manage messages, they were absolutely useless at rebuttals when attacked and pathetic at making the political weather and telling stories to persuade the public. All of this was obvious to me the day he got the job, I said so and so it proved. Utterly useless old cu nt turns out to be utterly useless? The newspapers didn't have to lift a finger.

It's really not that odd being that people suggest and recommend we do exactly the same thing with our own young players all the time for years and years and years.

There would have to be a Swansea level of capitulation for us to be relegated now. This run of form has changed everything. We've got 16 games to tot up the ten or twelve points required, whereas the bottom clubs are looking at around double that in the same time. I can't see us ending up as one of the three worst teams in the division now. The bottom four look like the contenders and it might not change much from here. I'm looking up now, not down.

He's turned it round and clearly the changes have been effective. Fantastic performance and result today and since December. We were, however, utterly dreadful at the start of the season. Let's hope we can get through the season without that form and those behaviours returning.

Just googled thelondoneconomic.com. Not a f ucking sausage. Edit: Take it all back, worked second time. Looks like a load of old sh it anyway.

Barry Gardiner has pulled out [emoji174][emoji174][emoji174][emoji174][emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji26][emoji26] whither now, glorious revolution?

The good news is there is a seventh contender for the leadership. Barry Gardiner.

Oh, absolutely. If he wins then he will be portrayed as "the establishment" because he is left leaning and a lawyer and interested in appalling things like human rights. Not anti-establishment like that nice Boris Johnson. But whoever wins will have some cross to bear, be it being fake working class or real working class and northern therefore thick.

Cameron, May, Blair and Johnson didn't need to convince anyone that they were "working class made good" so not sure why it is suddenly a priority for any other future Prime Minister.

If I was the PR manager of Southampton Football Club I'd be announcing that my d1ck is bigger than every other d1ck in the United Kingdom, with a length and girth just shy of a sleeping bag rolled up lengthways. And I could say that safe in the knowledge that there are people on this forum who cannot countenance the notion that the club would ever tell a lie or ever break a promise, so at least some would believe it for the rest of their lives.

I think you need to separate the fact that the club have definitely followed this strategy from the fact that it isn't a particularly useful strategy. Hypo/me/Turkish aren't defending it, we're just saying it happens. It seems bizarre the people here who just can't understand processes to me that are as normal practice in most big businesses. And the reason the club still do it is because it works. Egg during this exchange has said he believes the club don't leak rumours, it's all journalists and people on twitter making it up and then later said that he believes the players they tried to sign all fell through and therefore not the clubs fault, they tried. SFC PR team: mission accomplished. Ultimately we'd all like the club to stop pi ssing about an assemble a better team as we did through our rise through the leagues and under Koeman.

I don't think I've got much to gain from debating with someone who believes Southampton Football Club have never made a promise they haven't delivered on and never broken any promises. You're sweet.

No you've got it all wrong. Evil journalists making up evil lies to sell evil copies of their evil newspapers while the helpless club looks on holding on to their blameless innocent sword of truth. I feel so sorry for them.

If you've never over-promised to get a job, or a sh ag, or to impress your friends or the bank manager then I can't really help you sunshine. You're a political manifesto writer's dream.

Bizarre you even need to ask the question about how leaking "ambitious" transfer targets early in January is beneficial to the club. Pretty obvious why it benefits the club.

Sqwarkbox sweetheart and Union subs petty cash tin fiend Ian Lavery has abandoned his candidacy and thrown in behind Long Bailey. Looks like he couldn't secure the backing of the MPs required, most likely because I believe he has a track record of, er, stealing money from his union and buying a house with it. But on the plus side he always goes to the Durham Miners Gala, like, every single year, which is jolly important to the wider electorate. Anyway he's out of the running so there will be only one continuity Corbyn candidate for that constituency to get excited by.
