Weston Super Saint

I figured it would be something like that. He benefited from a private education, paid for by the state. Fair play to him. I'm not criticising him and it makes no difference where he was educated. Just pointing out that Alistair Campbell is wrong. Again.

What an odd statement, even for you. Does that mean there is no way on earth he could have possibly read anything from before that time on this thread? The thread started in 2022, so you may well have posted opinions 'years ago' that you are now denying. It wouldn't be the first time you've flip flopped.

It was a bursary. If it was paid for by the state it would have been available to everyone, it wasn't.

We don't get many opportunities, so take every chance we can to celebrate?

Fingers crossed.

Source? How would you know anyway, you claim to have me on ignore. Bit sad claiming to have someone on ignore and then start pretending you're counting their posts, but you've got form for making up a load of bollocks.

No. Starmer is part of the cabinet.

Is the BBC just unlucky and attracts more than its fair share or wrong'uns? Or, is there a culture whereby executives couldn't give a shit about behaviour in favour of ratings? It appears they were warned about Gregg Wallace in 2017 and again in 2022 but didn't do anything about it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0k8kryvdjno

Hi Soggy. Claiming to have me on ignore but directly quoting my posts. Sad.

No. It isn't 'your theory'. You've simply added one and one together (not bad for a farmer) and come up with the master plan that when we go down this season, we will have a good chance of getting promoted again (as will 2 other clubs). From that, you've pretended your Sherlock fucking Holmes and called us a yo-yo club. What's worse is you've claimed that's the club's cunning plan all along, even pretending we didn't recruit badly in the summer, but actually we are fucking geniuses by recruiting for next year. Walter Mitty was a sane elderly gent compared to you.

Because everyone knows they did it, both sides of the house condemned them for it and they put their hands up and said it was wrong. It wasn't the left v right issue that you are making it out to be where the left are virtuous and wholesome and the right are baby eating vagabonds. Therefore your point is moot.

Lucky for you Martin isn't going anywhere. Although he won't be our next LM, just in post a lot longer than the Welsh wonder. How much PL experience did Poch have before he became a PL manager?

There are 20 opportunities to manage in the PL every season (some of those won't even be realistic as clubs will stick with their manager). If half the clubs change manager that is still only 30 opportunities per season. Are you really suggesting that from all the leagues throughout the world there is not one single, capable manager who would be willing to show what they can do in one of the most watched leagues in the world? I don't buy it.

P&O broke the law. P&O admitted they broke the law, even in front of a select committee. P&O compensated every single worker because they broke the law and paid them more than they would have got had they gone through the tribunal process. Only 1 person didn't accept the offer that P&O made. He won his tribunal case - P&O didn't even offer a defence, instead admitting (again) that they broke the law. The guy then got less than if he'd accepted the initial offer. Don't think I've seen anyone claiming what they did was right. Even P&O said it wasn't. Your point seems to be totally moot.

Playing devil's advocate If you abandon yesterday's VAR decision making after 30 seconds then you have to stay with the onfield decision which was offside. Not sure how that means we were robbed or that VAR was misused...

As has been pointed out to you more times than we pass it around at the back, the laughing emojis are aimed at the poster and not the content of the post. Keep getting 'riled' by them and people will keep posting them. Surely that's black and white enough for even you to comprehend?

Indeed, especially as the conviction was technically 'spent' the minute it was given. I believe the law only requires declaration of 'unspent' convictions.

He's a loon! If we'd have scored 3 more goals we'd have beaten them easily. The fact we didn't doesn't even cross his mind. Oh, and we look better than Real Madrid - absolute Walter Mitty.

Apparently she declared the conviction on her appointment as an MP, but not when she was given a ministerial role.

Did it mention : 1. Yo-Yo's or any derivative of yo-yo / yo-yo club? 2. PSR (innit)? 3. Not wanting to be promoted at the first attempt? 4. Recruiting players in the summer transfer window whilst having just returned to the Prem specifically for the championship? 5. Bravery?

I suspect (but in no way certain), that the rise is due to 'foreign' students and their dependents coming to the UK. Whilst I assume the figure is accurate, if it is derived from students, then it is also misleading as they would all have limited time visas and wouldn't be 'permanent' residents. In 2022 / 2023 there were approx 660k non EU students (a good number of them would have had dependents with them, which is no longer allowed).

Which is bizarre, since you are the one who made up the 10 year plan scenario in the first place. Walter Mitty again.

In one of them he pretends to be a thick as shit Farmer. Go figure.

Or Labour. I believe she has only resigned from her ministerial position and is still an MP (this may have changed since this morning?). Therefore she is both a lawbreaker and law maker is she not? For the record, I'm not saying she should resign from either post. The indiscretion was so minor that she received literally no sentence. It was also so long ago that it has been 'spent' so shouldn't even appear as a criminal conviction - in the same way that points come off your licence after time...
