The Kraken

It’s been said before, but the ire should be directed not towards the officials but towards Armstrong for being so fucking stupid to be so clearly offside when he didn’t need to be. His intention was obviously to get on the end of the cross and, had he done so, it would’ve been instantly chalked off. In the video I’m not sure there’s any point in the play where’s he actually in an onside position. Just really poor forward play.

BBC website viewers are notably of lower intellect 😏

A poll went up in a national football forum I use about half an hour ago. Therefore a majority of non saints fans voting.

🤣 that makes zero sense. Armstrong is the closest player to the keeper. Hes in a prime position, and in real time the keeper will surely think he at least might be able to get to the cross coming in. Ergo hes interfering with play.

where was he then? In the image below he’s about 3 yards from the penalty spot.

I struggle to see how on earth it could be argued that Armstrong is doing anything other than interfering with play. Hes right in the centre of goal and in the goalkeepers eye line. Absolutely no question it was the right call.

It genuinely seems to be how he does it. Fucking crazy.

No. I think your original reply of “I know it was nothing to do with it, thanks” was better, before that modified word salad made its way into print.

I shouldn’t be, I know.

Which is a completely different point. The quoted bit was made by Kier Starmer. Who isn’t a Tory.

That literally makes no sense whatsoever to the post you were responding to.

Well yeah, but that’s no given. And as Jamie Delldays shows time and again, hypocrisy is fine when it comes to politics. FWIW I think she was right to fall on her sword. I don’t much like the press going through bins, but you can’t be transport secretary of the country with this on your record while trying to stand front and centre for a party that said “you can’t be a lawbreaker and a lawmaker”.

Then I can see why it’s so tight, given public opinion. I’m repeating everyone else but it seems the right initiative to me, but extremely rushed.

And maybe it isn’t. My understanding of a private members bill is that it can be brought back to debate multiple times, it doesn’t have to pass or fail at the first reading. If this ends up being just the beginning of a debate then it serves a worthy purpose.

🤣 surely you've worked out his MO by now!

Are we? OK, hands up. Who said in pre season “come December we’ll be on course for the worst points total in Premier League history”. Edit. I think my sarcasmometer may not be working. Long day…..

Whoops.

Roll up roll up for Rusty’s team picking tombola.

I think many people would take assisted dying over that.

YouGov poll landed today, 78% in favour of assisted dying in principle and in practise. I thought it would be favourable overall but didn’t think the consensus would be quite that high. https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/50989-three-quarters-support-assisted-dying-law

Starmer must love it, he doesn’t even have to do anything and Kemi makes a complete twat of herself time and again. I would laugh, but I actually feel we’re better off when we’ve got a robust, competent opposition. Right now we seem to have neither of those things.

Sacked for eating fried egg sandwiches 😪

One day you’ll stop savouring your own farts enough to take in what most others are actually saying, rather than giving your own distorted narrative of what you’d like it to be. Given your numerous drunken outbursts on here over the last months I’m not surprised your opinion goes all over the place. As for the final 3 match thing. It’s not as if we changed our style all that much for the last 3 games of the season. We got slightly more attritional but still played RussBall, just lessened on the goalkeeper contribution to it. We scored a goal right from the back in the playoff final, so not exactly a huge change in emphasis. Pretty much every Saints fan I know said that, if we play like we did last year in the premier league, we’ll get thrashed. Lo and behold. It’s one thing going down, it’s another thing being an open ship and expecting to come second every weekend.
