Solved the keeper - Eric Martin

Er McCarthy and Bazanu, bit of a major issue there!

Do as I say not say as I do. Different to the other parties my arse. Actually they are different, even more in it for their donors and friends. More fool the twits who voted for them.

Thatcher owns responsibility that one fairly and squarely for not re-distributing a high enough proportion of Right to Buy receipts into new, more modern and efficient social and mixed purpose housing, worsened by subsequent governments and nimby attitudes by householders (which in the Cotswolds there can often be unfortunately). See Heseltine’s latest book which I’ve been reading plus countless other texts on housing. In other news, some of the horrific cost legacy left behind by Boris’s hotel contracts have been reduced by 30% https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgeqwv98d55o Now the government needs to speed up case processing especially for claimants who have committed crimes and/or from non-FCDO recognised conflict states eg Albania and Turkey. Should be some swift rejections and removals in there.

Could be a struggle to get a result for either team with tomorrow’s forecast and the ball https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2637487

This is precisely why transfer windows in the UEFA region need to close on 31 July every summer to help players, agents, clubs and others with their focus and basic organisation which none of the parties seem capable of. Having a 3 month window is too long and disruptive. Not as if players are required to give 3-6 months notice period as most employees are in the real world. DoFs at the top two divisions level are more than capable of dealing with their managers’ wish lists in that timeframe. Poor organisation by the industry to be submitting deal sheets at 22.59 on 31 August or equivalent. Project and time management courses every spring would help as well. Two week extension if there’s a summer international tournament on (World Club Trophy doesn’t count).

The local Cheltenham Town fans really do view FGR with much disdain. Probably doesn’t help that they’ve poached a few of their better players over the years for higher wages even when FGR have been in a lower division.

If Lansbury pushed Manning firmly, fair enough but that was a full scale assault in football terms!

At Kenilworth Road. We are all thinking logically ‘in the bit of footage afterwards the Luton player gets sent off right?’. Wrong, only a yellow card. Quite astonishing. https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/lutons-henri-lansbury-escapes-red-card-for-brutal-kick-on-swanseas-ryan-manning/104k47glk4xik14a44hsq4lfrk

Reform’s acne-stricken teenage brigade enabling the gravy train - political assistants at £150k pa. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2kz127pj3o https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c625qr9nx0vo ‘But they’re different to the other two parties….’ PM earns £175k or so, cabinet ministers less. For £150k pa it’s not bad, Warwickshire is quite nice, even if you’d have to shave your head, get several tattoos done, drink gallons of Carling.

Cooper has to instruct the Home Office to get him fastracked so he is gone by August and permanent ban from the UK. Albania shouldn’t be a country where asylum applications are considered from anyway.

Dale and Holly Harvey have also been on the quite the quest https://www.youtube.com/@thegreatbritishpubcrawl

But that was before the clearly unsatisfactory professional football levels levels of fitness seen under Martin. Got away with it 23/24 due to the strength of the bench to change the games late on but no such option next season so players have be both better and fitter to earn those late winners.

Obvious that the players weren’t fit last summer and most of last season yet some on here still denied it. It can’t be denied any longer.

Will’s learned a hard lesson there, watch things with your own eyes, don’t go on people at the club banging on about ‘Jack’s so passionate’, ‘the club really rates Gavin’ etc. I think he’s got good judgement but I’d urge him to ignore anything he hears within the club as most of the voices are a busted flush and failures. Even Spors hasn’t proved his mettle yet. Make your own mind up based on what you see, the club’s opinions aren’t worth a grain of salt.

Our fans, actually most football fans, are not exactly ‘Brains of Britain’. Whether he turns out to be the answer or not, he is clearly a bright lad and how many of those saying that online have worked overseas at a top level in their industry during their late 20s and early 30s?

In quite some difficulties now about the delayed full release of the Epstein files and having to deny that he wrote Epstein a lewd birthday note in 2003. In a big spat with Murdoch over the Wall St Journal story about the birthday note. Another Musk meme shortly?

I don’t like Dianne Abbott, never have and never will. However, whilst her remarks didn’t really need to be discussed and re-interrogated in an interview (when will she learn?), there is at least some interpretation. However, no debate needed on the pure, unarguable and vile racism from Nigel Farage and especially Sarah Pochin https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/ask-me-another-question-reform-mp-fumes-at-journalist-over-afghan-sex-offenders-row_uk_6878b62be4b0b08368f4dfc1 ‘Well, I don’t think there’s any doubt whatsoever that there is hardcore evidence that this group, this particular culture, Afghan men, have a much lower regard for raping women than a white British cohort of men’. Notice here that she says white British men, not just British men. Little wonder the Times Radio host was exasperated. Nick Griffin would have blushed at that statement. No evidence either https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nigel-farage-says-some-afghans-airlifted-to-uk-are-sex-offenders-but-theres-no-evidence-thats-true_uk_6876e3cbe4b0bdf6e2f0fbe3?origin=related-recirc MoD fucked up royally and shame on the Tories but no excuse for pure racism and white supremacism from Farage and Pochin.

Completely fucking racist either way. Mind you, Mike Amesbury is equally culpable for the assault on a member of the public that allowed her BNP/NF ilk to be elected in the first place.

Can Rangers afford £10m either?

Boris has left himself go since leaving office

If Griffin had said that, there would have been condemnation from right across the red tops (and the BBC before Davie’s policy of cuddling up to Farage which that little brownose Chris Mason is following avidly) but listen to the silence. Reform = BNP, Nick Griffin 100% would’ve said something as openly racist and likely factually incorrect. MoD fucked up massively but it’s not a valid excuse for populists to lie through their teeth. There you go Soggy, there’s some red meat 😉

£3.25m Kevin Phillips cost IIRC, a decent amount but much less than it would’ve been had Sunderland not nosedived.

Your image is a bit of a clue! But, yes, for me, that’s miles nicer than the 96-98 away kit.

John Halls was a bit earlier, but that even had an article on the OS! Possibly under Burley. Joined Reading instead but we probably dodged a bullet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Halls
