And in Kent, thats pretty much word for word what Musk and his McDonalds crew sent around for Trump https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jun/02/reform-uk-to-pilot-doge-style-scheme-to-examine-council-spending Well done Kent, take a bow. You must be so proud. Ed Davey is spot on at the end. If you’re looking at DOGE and thinking that’s how we get our bins collected and potholes filled, you are learning the wrong lesson. Unfortunately, Reform’s voters generally didn’t pay much attention either in school or on their apprenticeships. Too boring, a bit like all of the council meetings and forums they’ve cancelled where key decisions need to be made. And boring like Parliament where Farage and Tice never are.

Reform in local government proving the same grifters as when they were UKIP in Thanet. Similar story in Kent CC too

Private Eye reporting also that the DT had to print the 9th prominent correction in as many months about a blatantly incorrect story (about Miliband and Net Zero this time) to prevent them being sued. Plenty to pick holes in with the government, not sure why they need to resort to 🤥 If their American takeover doesn’t happen very soon, I think the doors are closing because they are a colander financially as well as a very pale, culture war shadow of their former selves.

Aaaand as a predicted widely….they’ve fallen out by the summer https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0j76djzgpvo Trump yet to reciprocate but he can’t help himself and it won’t be long.

Even that looks nice though, albeit not as lovely as the 76/77 variant. Compare it to last season’s vile effort compounded by the very tacky logo.

My old man always said Ron Davies could head a ball harder than most could kick it at the time. The Man U and Chelsea away displays sounded like centre forward masterclasses.

Sad to see Ramsdale go but would glad to see THB move on for the right fee. He looked very uncomfortable in a back 5/central 3 every time and just not sharp in general even in a 4,

It’s the first replica kit for 8 years that I’d actually buy and wouldn’t look daft in as a middle aged bloke in a medium size. Last season’s were horrific, especially the Barbie away kit. I’m not against using pink but that was vile. That black/red pin-striped away design @Carozzi posted on here looked nice too as something I could wear other than at the games, although that would be a third kit as they’re understandably going to go yellow/blue on the first away kit. Even that looked really nice.

Birmingham away he wasn’t any better defensively either. I didn’t expect him to be brilliant defensively from the reports at Swansea but I did expect him to be a lot better going forward with assists, and the odd goal here and there going by reputation.

I remember someone posting on S4E that they’d been sat near MLT at the Plymouth home game which Saints lost 0-2 and should have been many more. Euell was subbed and the crowd chanted ‘wanker, wanker’ and jeered him. MLT allegedly turned around to some of those jeering and said ‘that’s a bit harsh. Mind you, he was total crap tonight though’ 😂

It was even more than £1m, £1.2 or £1.3m IIRC. My friends in the NW scouting network were shocked, put it that way.

Forest and Villa are former European Champs and title winners tbf. Brighton, Brentford and Bournemouth are having their days in the sun, but not in the same bracket as that Midlands pair. Brighton have the best chance and infrastructure to establish further and win a major trophy.

Unfortunately MAGA UK (aka Reform) are mindlessly copying the shambles Musk initiated there, even down to the anonymous tech bro (no doubt a shady Reform donor) If you live in Kent, lots of your money wasted on needless ‘task forces’ and their donors getting access to your personal data. No doubt lots of hunts for non-existent EDI Managers as per the pathetic leaflets we received through our doors nationwide funded by billionaire non-doms https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpw70j1k540o So much for voting for change then! A Tory reject from the Boris era.

Martin to Rangers makes total sense - can dominate the ball in that league, fresh investment to upgrade the squad to his style, European football.

IIRC it was Millwall home. Sent them down I seem to recall.

What’s the excuse for the 77m people who for voted for that? They can’t even blame drugs.

Only one more wicket for England A after that! India A 409/3.

Levy made Poch pay Saints pay the compensation on the rest of his contract with us IIRC to join Spurs. Worth it on his earnings since.

Football has a fair amount of hypocrisy too though https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/caleb-watts-slammed-over-controversial-exeter-city-to-plymouth-argyle-transfer/ https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/25188840.exeter-slammed-bitter-southampton-product-moves-plymouth/

Bazunu is less likely then as he’s actually from Dublin, but Smallbone is from Basingstoke IIRC. Jon Daly got abuse from Celtic fans when he played for Rangers. Celtic is far more likely for RoI players but Mo Johnstone was the groundbreaker as a Catholic at Rangers.

100% I’d be drawing on that if I were his defence - huge crowds, hitting the car’s roof - and it caused a conflict flashback. The issue is why tailgate the ambulance into a highly restricted area - or what should have been - following that line of defence?

Mansfield IIRC. Won at Southend in round one. Bale got his debut under Burley much later that season. Walcott definitely featured under him though.

Rangers and Martin seem increasingly likely, Ancelotti Jr is off elsewhere I get the sense. New owners and investment and his style would work well for a dominant team in that league and in Europe. Would help Saints by him being off the payroll, and he might tempted to come in for Smallbone, maybe Bazunu. In turn, that would secure their places in the RoI squad better than staying at Saints as I don’t see them as Still players. Downes is too pricey for the SPL and Captain Jack only operates in the south/SW.

Blimey, that takes happy clapping and carrot-crunchingly unambitious to another level. 0.6% who were satisfied are on another planet as well.
