The Kraken

As my dad sat next just said, you couldn’t fucking make this up! 0-0, could do with a win. Let’s change it up gaffer. Yeah good idea, let’s put on a different full back.

I’d genuinely make at least 3 changes at half time. Southgate would be the first one. How any manager can fail to get any sort of a tune out of this lot in two and a half games of a tournament is just criminal.

An absolute England of a start to the game. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Bore off Gareth.

Right let’s jinx it. I don’t think Gallagher is any better than ‘Trent’ at CM. Much prefer Mainoo there, Gallagher is a passenger.

I mostly agree but 2019 was an exceptional election, the Tories polled near 50% of the popular vote, and they ran on their “get Brexit done” mantra. Even with PR I don’t think their vote share would’ve dropped off all that much for that election. I think the Labour vote may have diminished even more than it did due to the toxicity of Jezza. I’m a fan of the idea of PR but I don’t see it happening here any time. Especially after the debacle of the AV ref in 2011.

PR wouldn’t have stopped that. In 2019 Con and Lab totalled 75% of the popular vote, those two were the leaders of the two most popular parties by a heavy distance.

How do other countries do it then? Certainly in Europe we’re in a minority of countries that use FPTP, most countries have a version of proportional representation.

That would probably make sense actually.

It’s got to be a parody account. Hasn’t it?

Definitely not thick. Voting for NONE of them.

Least surprising news ever. Fuck me.

It’s a shocking state of the punditry that they don’t trust them enough to explain the rules that they have to get a so called rules expert in to do it. Shes not quite as shit as Peter Walton or Mike Reid but she’s equally pointless.

Nicks was more big dinner, Jackpot Cafe in Portswood for a full English was our spot. We used to play Sunday mornings and after a big session you’d pray for heavy rain so the game would get called off and we’d have a team breakfast at the Jackpot instead.

My polling station is at the end of my road, a minute’s walk. I find it a bit of a rites of passage to wander down there of an evening and fill out a slip.

The silly twat has learnt literally nothing from Partygate. Genuinely starting to think that him and Truss are Lib Dem sleeper agents sent to bring the Tory party down from within.

LD’s pal Bozza looking perfectly at ease at a game. He doesn’t go down the alehouse to watch it, he goes to actual games, albeit with the snapdragon. He may talk a lot of pony about other stuff but he knows his footy does Boz.

Its a plain white t shirt. Quite an odd thing to get worked up about. Pound to a penny ‘Nige’ knows the square root of fuck all about football. He's previously said he’s not a football man, a cricket man. Yet there here is in the alehouse cheering our boys. Admittedly quite a few people are easily hoodwinked into thinking that Nige is a man of the people and for the people.

Thats not the best comparison, being as Starmer still plays 5 a side (or definitely did up to a year or two ago).

Genuinely a mental man. Always has been, of course, but seems to be getting worse. As a suggestion...........you won, maybe get over it? Such a snowflake.

They’re all the same aren’t they 🤪

Nah, racism and antisemitism go out of the window when it’s done by somebody you like.

.

Ings being on £120k a week at West Ham seems to be the biggest stumbling block, albeit he’s only got a year left of that deal. I get the feeling the term “Southampton have made enquiries about…” is doing some heavy lifting.

Sorry for your loss, very sad.

Today? Christ.
