Are you really trying to compare Barcelona, which is pretty much the sporting and cultural standard-bearer for Catalan identity, with Southampton? 😂 You’ll be comparing Emma Hayes to Pep next….

Losing £2M We are a men’s football team, not a bloody sports & social club.

More evidence that the club are heading in the right direction both on & off the pitch. They’re getting the priorities right.,

⚠️ England fans have called for an end to pint throwing celebrations! 😲🍺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Football fans up and down the country have urged pubs and bars showing the England games to ban customers who throw their drinks in the air when England score a goal. 31 year old, Richard Stroker, spoke to the press and said "Throwing your pint over other people to celebrate a goal is just ridiculous. I haven't spent £120 on a shirt just for some twat drinking dark fruits to ruin it because we've scored an equaliser against Congo." Eric Shun, from Yorkshire, added; "You won't catch me doing that. If I'm paying 6 quid for a pint, I'll be drinking it not chuffing throwing it." 🍻 However one fan, didn't see a problem and said "It's only a bit of beer, they need to stop complaining. They should be thankful it's not piss."

Just finished a week on Budva Riveria. Beautiful beaches, fantastic weather & clear seas. A lot more touristy than Albania, but very similar in beaches and landscape. The beach vibe was more Italian with expensive beach clubs. Some of the sunbeds were ridiculously expensive, particularly the front row and like Italians they get there early as well. There were minimum spends at some as well, €50 for the beds plus minimum €150 spend in bar & restaurant connected. Overall pricing a lot more than Albania but cheaper than France & Italy. Food was good, but make sure you’re not on a diet. Their culture is that it’s an insult if your guests go home hungry, and fuck me they make sure you don’t. The portions are huge. Fucking cats everywhere as well. Couple of things surprised me, the English wasn’t great. I’m not one for wanting foreigners to speak my language, but all I’d read said everyone spoke it. They don’t, some really struggled & it’s not like France or Germany where you know a bit yourself, google translate was out a lot more than in Albania where pretty much everyone spoke good English. The service was also a bit hit and miss. Whereas the Albanians had Greek like hospitality, these were more French or Italian, particularly the youngsters. The hotel staff were great, but out and about, not so much. Loads of Serbians at least 30% of staff we spoke to were from Serbia & walking round in a Saints polo shirt twice had lads coming up to discuss Tadic. How did it compare in the most important categories of beer & birds. There was no comparison, Albania wins by a mile. All the bars in montinegro were the usual imported Carlsberg/ Carling shite. The local stuff was ok when cold, but was horrendous if you didn’t neck it quickly. The local stuff in Albania was decent. The chicks in Albania are different level as well. It was a great place, but preferred Albania. Whereas the snap dragon preferred Montinegro. There’s no doubt this coast & Puglia the other side is my favourite part of Europe. If you want a “wing & a prayer” type holiday, will there be a power cut, broken card machines, bit edgy, in a place which will change beyond recognition soon, choose Albania. If you want the normal tourist trip in a beautiful location which is good value, easier to get to, but is more expensive, choose montinegro. My advice would be take 2 weeks and do both, you won’t regret it….

Mexico are bottle jobs, always have been when it really matters . Piece of piss…3-1 win

Complete & utter bollocks. Number one, you think the UK would have grown substantially more than any other EU economy had we remained in Number 2, Nigel wasn’t even an MP let alone PM or chancellor. Whatever happened to the UK economy is down to the Government. Brexit wasn’t an alternative Government, Brexit didn’t have a manifesto, it was just leaving the EU, what happened after that is down to the UK Government. George Galloway’s version of Brexit was entirely different to IDS’ . Nigel’s different than Boris’. The fact you still don’t get it, indicates exactly why your side lost. You just don’t understand, it wasn’t a financial transaction, it was a fundimental principle of accountability . Had Corbyn won in 2017, the country would look totally different than it does now, but people like you would still be banging on about “Brexit” when in fact it would be decisions Corbyn made which would have changed the country . When Burnham faces the inevitable debt crisis, it will be because of decisions The Labour Government have made, not because people thought too much sovereignty was “shared” prior to 2016.

Wrong… I suggest some research is in order.

That’s exactly what we need to do, but it’s the exact opposite of what we actually do.

The 10 years preceding Blair’s deliberate opening of the floodgates , net migration averaged 40k. We’re now led to believe 170k in little over 6 months isn’t a flood. It’s a ticking time bomb which people like you ignore in the rush to appear kind & moral. As we’ve seen time and time again, the “immigrant’s welcome” crew, really mean “immigrants welcome, just not where I live”. It can be done, look at Poland. Growing at 3.6% & unemployment at record lows. They’ve taken lots of genuine refugees fleeing Ukraine, but don’t take economic migrants pretending to be refugees.

They should be kept in a detention centre whilst their claims are processed.

This is a ridiculous argument. If you take London out of it, there are some incredibly poor areas in the “south” & some affluent areas in the North. Laughable that Burnham is trying to position himself as an outsider set to march on Westminster & its London centric agenda. He’s a Westminster machine politician to his core, he only fucked off back “opp north” after Corbyn smashed him in he’s second failed attempt to become leader. It’s as big a blag as Boris’ “levelling up”, & will be about as successful. Like it or not, London is the key to economic growth, however hard you try any rebalancing or redistribution, if you take money and investment from London or load extra taxes on them , it affects everyone adversely.

🤣🤣 Love the thought of the Sweaties hanging around waiting to see if their historic victory over the mighty Haiti might be the one, the result which finally gets them out of the group. Why don’t they just fuck off home. Feels as pointless as me hanging around back stage hoping to get a blow job off Shania Twain. About the same odds. Hopefully one day they do it, you never know FIFA might extend it to 84 teams next time..

That’s embarrassing, get up FFS

And she reminded him they won Stephen Fylnns old seat with nearly 50% of the vote, compared to labour who got 5. Yet still he defended Milliband and his lunatic agenda…

I’ve found Italians to be incredibly friendly or fucking incredibly rude, there doesn’t seem to be anything in between.

Ghana looked a far better outfit than Uzbekistan, who were awful defensively and pretty poor going forward.

Our centre halves play the ball too slowly & don’t break the lines. I’d have played Stones in that one, at least he can pick a pass. The wingers were wank, particularly Gordon. The subs did better than most (apart from Eze), although O’Reilly really should have scored. Rice doesn’t look right to me, although BBC website made him “player” of the match. I thought it was a pen, would have been disappointed had we not got that at the other end. Also think the Pickford incident could easily have gone the other way. All in all, typical game I’ve watched England produce at multiple World Cups, possession with no urgency

That makes me question his judgement from the off. 7 pints from that picture

Fucking hell, I’m in danger of a heart attack caused by this heat. Some of the birds round here aren’t covering up to protect themselves from the sun, that’s for fucking sure.

No, Kemi has said one is not required. At least she’s consistent (probably for selfish reasons) unlike Ange, Our Andy & even Starmer, who called for one when the Tories did it. It’s a delicate balance, Brown clearly should have called one, whereas May nearly lost to Corbyn when she did. I’ve no doubt he’d win one, but with a reduced majority. This probably means up to 100 labour MP’s losing their seats, so good luck with selling that to the party. I guess they’ll have a look at the end of the year and see where they are in the opinion polls. Theres a lot to play out yet, Nigel’s standards committee investigation, will the Greens bizarre Left/Islamist coalition last much longer without combusting , and could the Tories produce a rabbit out of the hat to frighten him (like Osbornes inheritance tax blag did to Brown). Interesting months ahead.

Surely everyone, left, right, black, white, commies, pinkos, Far Right, hard left, Romney Marshers can agree on one thing. Steve Bray needs a fucking good hiding….

His hands are tied by their ridiculous manifesto. They went into an election they were absolutely guaranteed to win, with the most timid un radical manifesto you could ever imagine. How can you spout a load of stuff about “change” and then be as radical as the Tory Pinko’s. If they wanted to do labour things and change the country they should have put it in there. It may have cost them 30 or 40 seats, but fuck me they still would have had a decent majority. If “Andy” tries to do anything other than tinker around the edges, the markets will react & his perceived lack of a mandate will be like a millstone round his neck. He’ll become very unpopular very quickly. If I was advising him, id tell him to go to the people in early autumn, put his change agenda to them. He’ll probably win with a significantly reduced majority, but thats the key word, “majority”. Unless he’s a once in a generation politician who can like Mrs Thatcher transform themselves in office and use his personality to impose himself, he will need a radical mandate. Nothing I’ve seen in his past makes me think he’s anything but a plodder, who has risen to the top due to the lack of any alternative talent the party will accept. As for Starmer, he was clearly out of his depth. But he was chosen as the new Kinnock, supposed to transform the party into something that could win elections. He would lose one, but eat into the Tory majority , ready for the next leader to take them to the promised land (and it wouldn’t have been Andy “King of the North” Burnham either). Unfortunately for him, the Tories were so bad he actually won. He was given a very poor hand and preceded to fuck it right up, whilst blaming everyone else. A horrendous PM, morally questionable , with the charisma of a fucking plank. Good riddance.

It’s laughable people are defending him. He’s been a complete and utter disaster. From Lord Alli, through the self inflicted wounds of increasing employers NI right through to respected labour figures like lord Robertson & John Healy saying his penny pinching on defence is leaving the country unsafe. Labour do not replace leaders regularly, they left Corbyn in place for 2 elections FFS. Even if he only achieved a quarter of what is claimed on here, they’d have left him in place. The fact Labour turned against him and forced him out 2 years after a landslide shows just how completely useless he is. The hatred for him is off the scale, and as Binface put it so succinctly, his own party recently contested an election on the platform of “vote labour, the leaders shite”. Let’s see how the next middle aged white leader labour put forward gets on. Professional Northerner, Our Andy, at least they’ve branched out from North London for this one. However, despite his rebranding he’s more of a professional London politician than Starmer ever was. I predict it’ll be a case of, meet the new broom, same as the old broom.
