Gloucester Saint

Common sense went out of the window a few years ago

Joe Kent is starting a round of the podcasters tonight opening with Tucker Carlson, another critic on the MAGA right of this war. This is going to damage Trump very badly despite the attempts to discredit Kent.

SFC ticket office never changes even if the entire rest of the world does.

Harry’s nephew. What we sing to him is no worse than Leeds and others did which he brushed off as banter. But the some of the stuff over many years at his Uncle who is a properly loathed figure for our fanbase is probably the difference. Frank Lampard JR may dislike Saints but him and a significant element of West Ham fans seriously dislike each other. Probably hate. Properly so despite having grown up as a fan https://www.skysports.com/football/news/2385820/lampard-hits-out-at-hammers https://talksport.com/football/807221/fat-frank-nepotism-west-ham-hammers-hate-chelsea-lampard/ https://www.westhamzone.com/news/goldstein-and-bent-troll-west-ham-fan-with-frank-lampard-question-live-on-talksport/

Normally I’d agree with you but MAGA and Trump’s administration has interfered all over the place in Europe - Vance’s speech, meetings with the AFD, Musk who was part of the administration starting to pump large sums of funding behind Rupert Lowe, Tommy Robinson being shown around the US Department of Defence (update: tissue stocks have plummeted in Kent). Rules are gone until Trump is gone. If he chickens out on the mid-terms where he’ll get a hiding (and get impeached afterwards) because of the cost of living, tariffs and Ben’s crazy wars, suspend their membership of all major global governance bodies and move the UN HQ to Paris. Hit their prestige where it hurts. Re-entry on probation of holding fair and free elections for 20 years and the Founding Fathers’ guardrails back in place. Germany came back much stronger and better after a period of punishment post-WW2 - WW1 went too far - and American can as well, but there has to be consequences for Trump’s and MAGA behaviour.

Flamin Nora!

£32k is a very good wage for someone barely out of their teenage years. Took until my mid-late 20s to be earning that in my third post-uni role with experience and achievements from the first two.

I’ve got friends who fought alongside the Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq. Trump can fuck off with all of it. Why should Denmark help him for example when he’s spent the entire time confecting a conflict about Greenland when the Americans already have all of the military access they need? And Denmark lost troops in Afghanistan. Our enemy is Trump, Vance, Bannon and the Republican Party. The west needs to spend big sums backing the Democrats so that MAGA implodes and the Lincoln Project folks get their party back.

Possible but it would seriously embolden Russia and they are a direct threat to Alaska. Have also been helping Iran.

Having said that, equally possible they are Republicans https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/12/americans-opinions-canada-great-britain-poll-00823978

Absolute stupidity from Haart the estate agents, although having had them market and sell our previous house I’m not surprised in the slightest. They got us a good price, can’t quibble with that but they were a total nightmare to deal with, classic overpromising and under-delivering https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g7yd202ngo It’s an entry level role FFS, once they make a few decent commissions their pay and bonuses increase with experience and they’ll buy something newer. Second hand cars aren’t cheap these days either. Give the youngsters a bit of break.

🚨 AA PL goal alarm 🚨

One of the BBC’s better recent articles summarises the massive hole Trump has followed Mad Ben down and why years of slagging off NATO partners has caught up with Trump and Vance, hitting him on the nose like boomerang 🪃 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8r17plnvy3o Trunp needs a plan and doesn’t have one. Curbing some of Israel’s funding to slow them down for a bit might cool things enough for other nations to help keep the Strait open.

Now resorting to threatening NATO partners to help him as he’s realised Mad Ben and Israel are not going to stop in Lebanon or Iran until they’ve reduced both to the entire rubble Gaza is. Might have been a good idea to do that thing MAGA and Trump never do - think - before following Mad Ben and his loony cabinet down another rabbit hole.

Er, based on wages alone, no.

Usually meaning that they have no such interest in that being the case.

The game at Fratton seemed to really give him extra petrol - very fired up for that, revelled in the atmosphere and has carried that on.

*Cough* *Cough* @hypochondriac and others also might have a view on this…

Those grapes are very sour

Can’t agree, he’s fine for say Exeter or Bromley next year, but not for top 6 L1 let alone Champ. Peretz is different calibre.

South West Water are every bit as bad as Thames https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c24djd273y6o The fine will end up being paid through the bills of one of the lowest wage and seasonal economies in the UK. Levy it directly on the boardroom instead, and a hefty top slice paid direct to customers on the next couple of rounds of shareholder dividends. If people are wondering why my words are so strong, they’ve only recently fessed up to this serious offence which they tried to cover up https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg3599690yo

I thought the thread was for unpopular opinions 😉

I’ve effectively had an enforced mostly dry February and March so far with this git of a chest infection which I got after the antibiotics I took to sort my sinus infection meant all of the crap settled there instead.

Jeffrey is still kicking around I think.

Everyone is and always been skint in January, regardless of who is in power. Christmas is a blowout for families and people go easier in January and sometimes February. Plus you have the Dry January campaigns etc and the weather isn’t great. Not difficult really and not changed since I was a nipper in Southampton.
