I honestly don't know how anyone could have believed he would be any different once elected. His record as an MEP was even worse. For years and years he bleated on about how British fishermen were being let down by the EU. Yet when he got himself onto the Fisheries Committee, where he could have actually had some influence to try and improve things for the very people he was pretending to give a shit about, he only bothered to turn up to one out of something like 48 meetings. He's nothing but a fraud and a grifter. It's been obvious from the moment he caught the attention of the public with his attention-seeking "Who are you?" monologue in Brussels. He's a shameless charlatan with the moral integrity of a whole nest of vipers. Quite how anyone could be so fucking stupid as to be taken in by such a blatant self-serving bullshitter is beyond my comprehension.

This is something that's really pissing me off with this WC. Case just proved further with the VAR check for Mbabbe's goal. There's a clear reluctance from the TV directors to show any replays at all of VAR checks or other potentially controversial incidents. Can't have Joe Public seeing the evidence for any suspicious decisions now can we.

Didn't look unintentional to me. Knew exactly what he was doing.

Dunno. One of our best ever kits had black socks

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ce8m526mjmeo "A golden boot race for the ages... battle that feels genuinely generational... sharpened by numbers and defined by rarity". Nothing whatsoever to do with the expanded format and the number of shit teams with shocking defensive records that qualified then huh?

The Reform London mayoral candidate Layla Cunningham is tying herself up in knots and being torn to pieces by KGM on the Channel 4 news. I'm almost embarrassed for her.

He's definitely not a donkey. I watched him a lot at youth level cos he was in the same Everton U21 side as my nephew and they are still good friends. He's got great pace and acceleration, good close control and a good eye for a forward pass. He's played mostly on the left in his recent loans in the Championship but he's versatile and pops up with goals wherever he plays along the front 3. He wouldn't be a direct Stewart replacement because he's not that profile of player. We'd probably be looking to bring him in as backup/competition for both Leo and Fellows cos he can play on either side. Would be a decent signing IMO. 11 goals and 8 assists for PNE last season is pretty impressive.

Yep. If Spors thinks he cdajfu then I guess we'll joist have to truss in the process.

Still not as bad as the Americans that pronounce Iran as "Eye-ran".

They've got a pretty fair grievance in fairness. If VAR is going to intervene and disallow that Zico goal for a very minor foul in the build up, then they have to at least review Argentina's 3rd goal as well for consistency. The argument against that is that if they had deemed it a foul on Salah and disallowed the goal, then the ref has to award a penalty to them and it wasn't enough of a foul to justify that. But we've seen VAR give penalties for less in this tournament - like the one they gave Mexico against us.

Yep. Pharaoh comment.

Sheffield Wednesday have signed Callum Slattery from Motherwell... https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-wednesday/sheffield-wednesday-callum-slattery-8767734

Well I was expecting this game to be the battle of the Iberian Peninsula, but it's been drab so far. Both teams happy to play for penalties it seems.

It's mental isn't it. We all know he's lying. He knows that everyone knows he's lying, and he also knows there's absolutely fuck all anyone can do about it.
