Exceptional stuff. 8/10.

Another defeat for the fraud then.

In fairness Brighton were at home. If we'd have played Spurs at our place last week, we'd still have lost.

Loads of polls in April, May and June 2016 had leave in front. Since 2018 hardly any have. Not that it matters now.

Boris is doing it his way round, and the ERG are nodding it along because a) it's Boris doing it not May b) it fu cks Ireland over therefore the EU won't like it therefore we do like it c) because of the above they can vote it through and take the moral high ground of "look we voted for a deal" d) the ERG need us out and we are edging uncomfortably towards a second ref and possibly no Brexit at all It's all pitifully transparent and just about the blame game. From my perspective I think Johnson might regret bringing the border down the Irish sea into the equation. Our friends in Brussels I think will run with that in a no-deal situation. Although in fairness its always been their obvious go-to. And, of course, Gove and Johnson have said over and over again that Britain is ready for no deal. So that means its absolutely impossible for the EU to punish the UK in that scenario because we're absolutely ready. Aren't we?

Lots of other clubs waste millions and millions on sh it players. Get over it.

In what financial year did SFC lose £66m? Yes we've bought some dross but spare us the pearl-clutching horrified act. Especially once January and July roll around and the same people start demanding we spunk thirty million on this or that superstar who definitely definitely won't turn out to be a failure.

Woolston Ferry is not ever going to happen. Ever. Since the days of the Ugly Inside people have tried to pretend it's our great lost song and if only we all learnt it our atmosphere would be significantly improved etc etc. It's never caught on and it never will catch on, for these reasons a) it is sh it b) I'm past 40 and have no idea what the Ferry even was c) utterly tinpot bumpkin anthem d) not even tangentially connected to the club. Irrelevant. e) championed by SISA-type freaks who say we simply must sing it before every game but don't have any actual reason why we should and why no one does now f) been going since the late 80s and rarely ever hear anyone sing it home and away, ever, suggesting it's not the great lost classic some make it out to be g) did I mention that it is utterly cringeworthy, embarrassing and, and I can't stress this enough, sh it. Other than that I'm ambivalent about it.

No doubt. And people on here would be saying that Hasenhutl would have never come to us because he's been in the Champions League and Leicester have more ambition than us.

Not really relevant now is it. The point is he was and is a capable manager who some on here couldn't get past because waah wah wah he stole Lallana off us.

Perfectly happy with Ralph for now, but I was a big believer that Rodgers would have been a great appointment for us. Leicester will have a fine season, and with Chelsea, United (and to a lesser extent, Arsenal and Spurs) in some strife they might even trouble the Champions League again.

Artur Boruc is not coming back mate. Get over it.

I'd call that a fu cking surrender letter all day long.

Absolutely effing pathetic. Please help us please help us if no deal happens please please please

The EU are going to capitulate by giving all the benefits of the shared market and customs arrangements and tariff free and frictionless trade and all the shared resources we like such as security and medicine regulations but in the new arrangement we don't have to pay in any money for any of it any more or go to any meetings about any of it any more and also we can make lots of exciting trade deals all over the world with whatever arrangements we like with markets that the insular narrow minded EU would never even speak to like Japan and South America. These arrangements don't mean any border on Ireland at all because we want to control our borders, all if them, without question but obviously not that one. No downside just considerable upside. We hold all the cards. Once the German Car makers get wind of it we will get all of the above no problem. We just need to stand there and threaten to blow our own faces off and they will come running because they need us more than we need them. Just wait until the eleventh hour and THEY WILL CAPITULATE

Article 50 ws triggered nearly a year after the referendum so saying that was early is revisionist - as Shurlock says the demands to press that button from the Brexiteers was pretty high, and I am not sure it could have been held off much longer. I remember one prominent and life long Brexiteer demanding it be triggered in his first utterances on the morning after the referendum. The folly was that the year before triggering A50 (and indeed before the referendum) there was no serious planning, expectation management or building of consensus much as there hasn't been subsequently. Just the utter delusion that if we keep holding on and holding on the EU will make good on the fairytale the Leave campaign told to the electorate. Collectively we have approached this without a clue and that why we have had our arses handed to us. Even now we have idiots like Cleverley still trotting out the "The EU always capitulate at the last minute" even though we have already gone past the last minute (twice) and it was us that blinked (twice). The only card we have now got once it goes to sh it is "we are being bullied by those people who we previously told you need us more than we need them". Once no-deal happens every single one of the red-blooded Brexiteers will be screaming about the EU bullying us and punishing us before the pumpkin bunting comes down, conveniently forgetting the last 18 months where they repeatedly told us that no deal was exactly what they wanted and exactly what 17m people voted for.

Have we got another confession coming from SOGGY?

We beat Arsenal and Liverpool on the way to the final so who knows.

So we're at the Etihad twice in five days then.

10/10. Absolute masterpiece.

Piltdown Man died on an anti-wheel solidarity march to smash the repressive wheel based hegemony. Fact.

Any one looking forward to David Norris day next year?

Must be cold there in our shadow. To never have sunlight in your face.
