  1. This is true, although I do remember KWP showing a good turn of pace in a match, I think. Armstrong is probably quicker than Redmond in a straight race but, as you say, appears less likely to be a top sprinter.
  2. Just change international law. Easy. #takebackcontrol
  3. Context is pretty important. If I call a friend a cunt then it’s ok. If I call a work colleague a cunt in the office then it’s probably not.
  4. It’s not entirely insignificant though. His company was expropriated by that state, which is a country with a very different approach to life and business than “ours”. He’s an economic fugitive, of sorts, whose apparent sole motivation is shielding some cash from the Chinese government. He’s been in hoc to the authorities ever since he was implicated in a bribery trial and would fail the current directors and owners test. And we don’t know why we needed to take an £80m loan out last month. Maybe it’s to cover some COVID shortfalls, maybe it’s something significant. We don’t know. But the accounts didn’t say we’d made provision to increase our facility to £80m, they said we’d actually drawn it down. The positives are that he doesn’t seem to be some sort of Vincent Tan / Rupert Lowe mentalist and seems to accept he doesn’t have anything to offer, but that’s really it.
  5. Sorry, old link!
  6. https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/extent-portsmouths-financial-losses-laid-bare-fans-question-clubs-ambition-2931855? Whoops!
  7. Did you have a flat-top?
  8. Programme for tuppence and warm up with a half time steamy piss.
  9. Indeed. When you’ve got a public platform then telling people that a COVID vaccine is part of some sort of Bill Gates eugenics fetish goes beyond village-idiot territory and into dangerous territory. I don’t think he should be silenced or banned but he certainly should be challenged. I asked him if he genuinely believed what he was saying and he banned me. So much for challenging ideas.
  10. No, he’s relying on the report that it’s an “option”. If it’s a genuine option then we can’t say no.
  11. Reed is a tidy player but can't help making stupid tackles.
  12. Should be safe to share once it's mentioned in the papers.
  13. He's a corrupt grifter. Microsoft gained £75bn on the markets. I'm sure he and his mates and family are well into that.

  15. #stablegenius
  16. If he's only getting 60k a week from Spurs then he's a proper mug. Should have joined Everton for twice the money. Will win the same either way.
  17. I'm hearing this one is close.
  18. Will a boy ever be born who can swim faster than a shark?
  19. Gao wouldn’t pass the owners test now.
  20. Can't afford to lose the election. It's time to be packed off to a nursing home or prison if does.
  21. It’s true though. He’s like a better educated mini-Trump. Doesn’t have the application or bottle to do the job properly so abdicates responsibility to cronies and focuses on populist statements. Views himself as above the strictures of convention and rules. Will happily lie or turn 180 if it furthers his position. He’s probably not as reprehensible in his views but the approach is similar, if slightly more subtle.

    Coronavirus

    But individual logic doesn't apply at the level of complex systems, which is why it is important to have clear rules and clear control systems. 250 mile drive is low risk because of the way traffic is regulated and because most people clearly understand the system.
  23. Pen wasn't a red because there was a covering defender?
