You missed out perverted. Dear god, he’s comparing her with Sean Connery legitimate political beliefs. She’s basically a fitter Katie Hopkins, but because she gives him the horn, he overlooks her politics. So, so typical of the hypocrisy he shows day in day out. Is she really the type of chick you want to be pulling one off to. Brigitte Bardot (1934–2025) was convicted six times in French courts for inciting racial hatred and using racist speech between 1997 and 2022. Following her retirement from cinema in 1973 to focus on animal rights, she became a prominent figure for the French far right, often targeting Muslims, immigrants, and ethnic minorities in her writings. Targeting Muslims and Immigrants: Bardot was repeatedly fined for inflammatory remarks regarding the "Islamisation of France". She described Muslims as "invaders" and "barbaric" and claimed they were "destroying our country by imposing [their] acts". These comments often stemmed from her opposition to ritual animal slaughter. Comments on Réunion Island: In 2022, she received her sixth and final conviction, a €40,000 fine, for calling the inhabitants of the French territory of Réunion "degenerates" who had "kept their savage genes". Far-Right Political Ties: Bardot openly supported the far-right National Front (now National Rally). Her fourth husband, Bernard d'Ormale, was an advisor to the party's founder, Jean-Marie Le Pen. Opposition to "Racial Mixing": In her 2003 book A Cry in the Silence, she attacked "the mixing of genes" and praised previous generations for pushing out what she termed "invaders".

Why do you persist in this ridiculous pony. We don’t play 5 “at the back”.

So because she’s fit, Soggy gives her a free pass on racism. She’s actually been convicted of racism, but because she’s got a decent pair of tits, it doesn’t matter to him. It’s a new century man, not the 1970’s… I bet he’s going to knock one out tonight as a tribute…

“The same? What a load of old pony. Manning pretty much plays every week now, as would a fit Charles. We’ve got nowhere near a striker of Stewart’s standard on the bench now. I’d have Rothwell & Bree over Airbo & Wellington every day of the week, and is Robinson any better than Edozie or Suly, there’s not much in it. Don’t forget Dibling didn’t get anywhere that side as well. Anyone who thinks the squads are comparable is deluded or a Lego fan boy. We’ve got absolutely nothing coming off the bench now, Robinson aside and Che Adam’s, Janny B & KWP are far far better than we have now, anyone who thinks Wood is a better player than Bednerak needs to give their head a wobble. To cap it all, injury meant that side were stronger in nets come the end of the season as well.

That wasn’t the general opinion, there was almost universal agreement that he deserved the job. I’m not saying it was the right decision, only that in the main, the vast majority of supporters thought he deserved it after the results and performances during his “interim “ spell.

Of course they want to go up, they just don’t have the balls or mental toughness to do so in this side. They’ll want to do it the easy way and be picked up by a club already there.

My lad is going to the 4th day at Sydney, he asked me if it’ll make 4 days. I said it will, if it rains… As expected we win a dead rubber. Aussies wouldn’t have chucked that away had it been 2-1. This shouldn’t gloss over the fact it’s been a complete and utter shit show and heads should roll. They had their best players missing important games & they’re a pretty average side, yet it’s over before Xmas.

Yeah because there’s no difference between the strikers at Oxford Utd, Hull city & Norwich, compared with Harland, Salah & Cole Palmer….

FFS, here we go again… unlucky Baz. What was it Gary Player said “the more I practise the luckier I get”. With Baz it’s, “the more he lets in the unluckier he gets”. As for bigger problems, don’t make me laugh. As poor as our defenders are, they’re not the worst in every league they play in.

Let’s not rewrite history here. The guy absolutely deserved the opportunity to finish off the season because of his results and the improvement in performances. An 18 month contract is irrelevant, if he doesn’t make the play offs, he’ll be toast. The improvement was driven by 4 players, Azaz, Fellowes, Leo & AA, with Downes & Jander playing a little bit better as well. The defending and keeper remained a shit show, but our attacking play was massively improved. What’s happened since is Fellowes has been out injured & has had a disjointed run, Azaz has been inconsistent & AA looks knackered to me. Leo is the only one performing anywhere near that level, so it’s no surprise we’re lacking any sort of cutting edge. The back ups are just nowhere near those guys at their best, so nobody is really capable of stepping up when those 4 are off colour. He now has to find a way to win games when those attacking players aren’t firing or aren’t available. Clearly he hasn’t got any experience to fall back on, and the weak mentality of this group of players, make it a difficult task, let’s hope he’s a quick learner.

Well said love….

The first one, I’d have liked to see him come and claim the ball before the second header. Jack didn’t jump, but he didn’t react and THB’s header was only on the edge of the 6 yard box. Should he have saved the subsequent shot, maybe not, but I’d file it in the “could he have done better” category. When is he actually going to save one of these? Second one, poor defending, but he made it easy for the bloke with poor positioning & another weak, nothing drive. Never in doubt it was going in. As I said on match thread, imo , some championship keepers save the first, and most save the second. If we swapped keepers over, Baz lets in the Armstrong effort….

To be fair, if you look up and see Baz in nets, anyone would have a dig….

These bunch of cunts got Will Still the sack & they’re going to get Tonda the sack as well. They don’t fucking care, Harwood-Bellend waving his arms about, shouting, showing “passion”, but an atrocious defender. “Arma” (stupid fucking name), needing 4 chances to bury one. Downes, fucking poser, fairy. Even the better ones are slipping into the Southampton way, Jander minces about without shooting, Azaz pony, Leo doesn’t have an end product and fades the longer the game goes on. As for Baz, he’s a fucking joke now. When is he actually going to make a decent save. I don’t care what anybody says, a few Championship keepers save the first, and most save the second. When we need to roll their sleeves up and win ugly, they don’t fucking want to. They’re going to get battered up the road….

The final word on this should be left to the Government. They conducted an impact assessment on their own policies which concluded “It is likely that landlords will pass through some costs of new policies to tenants in the form of higher rents – to offset those costs and maintain profit “

That’s like saying “I’m not worried about Damien Downs taking throw ins, and he’s cool as a cucumber when kicking off”. His fucking job is to stop balls going in the net, not passing the fucking thing.

It’s unbelievable, despite their own impact assessment saying exactly the same thing, you can’t accept it. 😂😂 Imagine if a Tory Government admitted their policies would increase costs and somebody posted this actually wasn’t true, I’m sure you’d be all over it. As you’re so obsessed with our tenants rent rise, I’ll explain, although based on you not accepting the Government’s own assessment, I’m not sure you’ll understand it. Firstly, the increased regulation & workload on our agent has resulted in a 1% increase in their fee, which has been passed on. Checking round other agents, the fee was in line with most. So that extra £19 went straight on their increase. No doubt you’ll want a line by line breakdown of what extra work is involved and how much it is, but personally, I’ve taken the Government’s word there’s more regulation for them to ensure we comply with, and more regulation inevitably involves more work & man hours. Secondly, we’ve never bothered before as we had the option of section 21 to get rid of awkward tenants (and have used this), but with this being abolished, we have taken up £35 a month Rent & legal protection policy, passed on to them. If we could still use section 21 we wouldn’t have bothered. Thirdly, wanting to keep good tenants, we reduced the rent by £100 a month, if they signed a Fixed-term Assured Shorthold Tenancy of a year. This gave us stability & assurance and also gave them reassurance we wouldn’t be kicking them out. This Government is banning these, & therefore we will only have 2 months notice if tenants want to quit. We’re no longer reducing rent for the security of the property being rented every month for a year, if we haven’t got that security. So therefore, before you factor in inflation, the rent has risen approx £150 a month as a direct result of Government policy. The next increase will also rise by 2% more than inflation to take into account the 2% increase in Income tax for landlords coming down the track. If this is reversed (with Starmers record, there’s a good chance it will be), then this won’t be loaded on. Before recommending an increase the agent will give us a summery of local market conditions. Previously they’ve blamed the Tory party & George Osborne’s tax changes for landlords selling up, the less supply the bigger increase in rents. This time, they blamed the upcoming act for supply issues, and therefore suggested rents are increasing locally as supply tightens. Our rent was slightly below its market value so it also went up to bring it in line for the Rental increases part of the act. The stupid comment that Agents will recommend increases as they get paid, shows a complete lack of understanding of the industry. The worse thing for an agent is an empty house, as they don’t get a penny in that scenario. It’s not a woe is me story, it hasn’t changed my circumstances in the slightest. The people affected by it are the tenants, they’re the ones paying for this. Had the Government done nothing, their rent would be cheaper, that’s an absolute fact… My neighbour has 6 properties he rents out, we have 1. One of my sons has 2. My job involves dealing with some of the areas larger property companies/landlords and knowing what is going on with the building & general maintenance trade in the area. Even single person I’ve spoken to has said this government has increased costs on landlords, the government itself has admitted this, the only people who don’t seem to think they have are to be found on here. Supposedly “unbiased” posters 😂

I think I came on a said that agent who manage our property suggested we put the rent up, citing Government legislation as the reason for that increase. We don’t pluck figures out of thin air, we rely on the experts to guide us as they know the rental market in the locality. Is your argument that despite the Government saying themselves that this legislation increases costs for landlords , and these costs will result in increased rents for tenants ,this isn’t actually true?

It’s not just my claim. They themselves have said they’re implementing policies which will lead to increased landlord costs being passed on to tenants. Seeing as I quoted word for word from their own impact assessment, and you still won’t accept it, there seems little point in continuing this particular debate.

Those statistics just show how unlucky Baz is. If Carl Rushworth faced the amount of unstoppable shots Baz faced, he’d be bottom of the list….

Don’t take my word for it, take the Government’s own impact assessment conducted by The Department of Housing, Communities and Local Government. “It is likely that landlords will pass through some costs of new policies to tenants in the form of higher rents – to offset those costs and maintain a degree of profit. “Landlords will likely offset some of the costs of the regulation through rental price growth.” Bizarre to think you know better than them, when they have all the facts and figures at their fingertips and their job is to assess the impact this new policies have on the rental market. That was before the 2% increase in Income tax coming up, which will be passed directly on to the tenants in the vast vast majority of cases.

They’re limited to one a year, with 2 months notice, they also need to be aligned with “local market rates” and you can’t evict tenants as easily. Local market rates will go up, and most landlords only increased rents once a year anyway. Once you add in the number of landlords selling up which is impacting supply, rents will defo increase as a result of this bill. Tenants will get better protection from rogue landlords, but at the cost of increased rents. You’ve really drunk the Starmer kool aid , if you think this will result in anything other than increased rents.

Dylan’s a funny one. His voice is an acquired taste, and I agree the early acoustic stuff isn’t for me. But once he got The Band behind him, it is electric in every sense of the word. It’s pretty hard for younger people to realise just how popular & influential he was, as his versions of his music hasn’t aged particularly well. The songs he wrote have, and will be covered for years to come. Joni Mitchell is the one I could never get into, great songwriter but her voice did my head in.

You’re too late, Panorama already have an undercover man at the heart of the club. Have done for years. I don’t know about others, but I”m looking forward to Baz’s report when it finally airs on TV…
