Gloucester Saint

That’s not entirely my impression. Raise the Colours activists got behind suspects online enmasse for attacks like this on a regular basis https://news.sky.com/story/council-pulls-down-large-number-of-flags-after-racist-park-attack-13441679 Plenty of support was found online for these incidents too https://www.lbc.co.uk/article/lamppost-flag-campaign-founder-charged-murder-5HjdZt2_2/ and this person was arrested at the Unite the Kingdom March https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx217901n00o You could pull up examples of equal shittiness from the person at Aberdeen Uni, and some of the comments on Charlie Kirk at the time. I find it equally vile and a serious illness on our democracy. The reporting doesn’t help often either in terms of enciting grievance on either side of the extreme margins.

That’s a much better post now.

Let’s use the court’s official term - sexual abuse and defamation https://www.scotusblog.com/2026/07/carroll-receives-payment-from-trump/ He’s finally had to pay up from his cryptogrifting for the $5.6m, but still stalling on the $83m aided by corrupt Justice Dept officials and trying to get his judges on the SC to help (they’ve proved rather less compliant that he hoped thus far on several other issues) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-e-jean-carroll-lawsuit-payment-b3018969.html

Petrie dished up rubbish. Liking the Hill of Bean gag 😀 Only 4 down Yorks favourites but as we’ve seen so often a couple of quick wickets and sides can panic.

Oi, I made that joke first 😀

It wasn’t the best but then Trump has called Mexico rapists, advocated sexually assaulting women, and been convicted of harassing one in a civil case, losing his case for $5m damages. We could list all of thousands of other revolting comments and things he’s done such as having bravery and service awards from black GIs replaced by EDI hire on their online distinguished profiles. Any reasonable human being will agree that’s worse than anything Sue’s just posted. Oh, and btw, ‘left’ in this instances covers pretty much the entire Conservative, Liberal Democrat parties, let alone Labour, Green, SNP, PC etc. Only Reform UK voters have a positive view of Trump but even then given their leader is a Mini Me, only just over half and there’s at least 40% who regard him as a complete dickhead in polling. Rupert Lowe thinks he’s brilliant - not I’d suggest an alignment you want to making as a Saints fan. Remember 04/05 and 08/09.

BBQ and charcoal menu a speciality. Great Cajun blackened chicken I heard.

And Wesley Streeting’ goes into the end zone in overtime, touchdown! Dannett wasn’t enthusiastic the other day but then he wouldn’t be unless it was John Healey or Ben Wallace had defected parties.

Although we do supposedly have ‘Stalked him on a Tuesday, met him on a Wednesday, dined him on a Thursday, signed him on a Friday, he scored on the Saturday etc’

Rayner and housing is somewhat ironic! Streeting just going in - what’s unfilled in the bigger cabinet positions? Defence? Energy?

Having been there, it is a bit wanky. Lots of bridges I seem to remember with the ship canal.

What did tell you all?

Hopefully Petrie dishes up some clean overs.

I thought he’d be Health although Cooper is a solid pair of hands there. McFadden staying at DWP makes sense as needs someone who knows the brief to make reductions. Yes, we’ll see on Healey but I didn’t have him down as especially left. More of a presence to calm markets because Burnham does make bond markets more uneasy. Speccy enthusiastic https://spectator.com/article/john-healey-is-a-clever-choice-for-chancellor/

Spent 5 years in Gordon Brown’s Treasury though and markets seem to like him. Mahmood is the most popular member of the cabinet with the wider public (albeit not her own left wing) so staying Home Sec makes sense. If we’re talking curvy, Ed Miliband as Foreign Sec - even if he wanted it, that’s Marilyn Monroe. ’Over here Orange Rottweiler, enjoy your new chew toy’.

That’s the gambit - you want the budget for defence John, you find the savings then.

Sacked as Business Secretary and seemingly out of the cabinet, as is Lammy, Steve Reed, Liz Kendall and Lord Hermer. Reeves turned down one of the other big cabinet offices. Mahmood and Miliband just gone in there, Mahmood as CofE has been the chatter. John Healey went into No10 before them.

Especially on the training ground when the wind is blowing the wrong way and the smog works drift in.

As soon as I saw that on BBC News just now, I thought ‘I know someone who will be pleased with that’!

Still, Boro have a good future replacement for Hellberg https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cdew76g9d1zo

My Dad queued up to get his Against the World book signed for me after he joined Saints. I still have it in my home library. We’ve lost him, Armstrong, Nicholl and Bally now from that famous and entertaining side.

McAllister’s early foul was as yellow a card as you can get. Arguable ref letting it go for both sides but escalation in Argentina’s behaviour when not shown an early yellow was an obvious to adapt.

We could copy the Lancashire cricket fans every time he scored. ’Oh Wanky Wanky Wanky Wanky Wanky Wanky Wanky Wankshear!’

Fucking weirdos and a liar as well. Do I care about Southampton? No. Do I like them? Dislikes and then whines on about why. Skate levels of obsession. At least the skates and us have a proper rivalry. You can tell when a club hasn’t and why Leeds, Sunderland and Newcastle aren’t bothered about them. Noddy, nothing club in a wasteland of an area with a highly dubious mayor. Three clear chances at promotion, and blew every single one. Portsmouth are our rivals. We don’t give a shit about you and whether you all vaporise when Billingham explodes one day.

Seems to pick up a lot of the Potteries and Midlands ones, sometimes Manchester. I do watch some of the episodes on iPlayer to help get some inspiration for our house renovation.
