  1. Anything that brings an end to wrestling at corners has to be progress. We may even get a slightly more honest sport now that Big Brother is watching everything, it looks like we are getting a more accurate one already, so I'd take the odd 'harsh' borderline decision if it wipes out the dozens of mistakes we normally have to endure.
  2. Indeed. When Sheff Utd come to town I'm sure he'll get a proper welcome, rather than moronic booing - the choice of simpletons. There are players who deserve that, he ain't one of them. Always gave everything.
  3. She picked us up at a disco, we were warned about her, she was fairly low maintenance, we had some great nights and some stupid ones, then her looks went, she dyed her hair and she buggered off to West Brom. Win-win.
  4. I'm quite happy to wait to celebrate a goal, though I'm dreading that moment when we score what looks like a good goal, and then you see the VAR call.... How long before we get one disallowed for some offence so minor it wouldn't even have been a foul last year? All I hope for is balance - the problem will be when the 'big' clubs start getting a benefit, but that won't be VAR's fault, the system just delivers images, it will be the fault of the official.
  5. Good riddance to all those greedy bankers who we are chucking out - I'm just glad they always insist on taking any financial hit themselves and battle to prevent ramifications trickling down to the less well-off, and that they don't employ anyone else or spend money in our economy in any form. We don't need them and their money, we just need to believe.
  6. After EU consistently confirmed that negotiations were over, Gove is astonished to discover that negotiations are over. #realitycheck He is pointless. It makes you wonder how many of the latest promises were just made up to harvest votes for Boris from the walking dead.
  7. I'm not aware of any killer quoting Obama during a massacre - but this guy referenced Trump, because his rhetoric inspires nutters. He knows the state of gun control yet he still whips up hate. Time to order up more body bags and feeble excuses.
  8. El Paso seems to be the result of a terrorist who was radicalised by being exposed to extremist speeches. The specific hate preacher's rhetoric was quoted during the attack. And we are supposed to trust the same man with a trade deal because he is our friend? We're better than that.
  9. To crack the nut of one-in-however-many who are cheating the system, we appear to have taken an industrial sledge hammer and we're now pushing people who need help, into poverty - and in some cases, beyond. When kids are going through school bins for food, should we perhaps have a look at our political direction of travel?
  10. Everyone knows he's not anti-semitic. As said above, he just made himself unelectable by not dealing with it, refusing to play the PR game, and thinking that people care about policy. Rory Stewart discovered that too - he offered honesty and reality, and was destroyed in the vote - the public hate a reality check, they want unicorns and rainbows all bound together by fluffy belief. Any indication when the independent investigation into Islamophobia in the Tory party will begin? The new PM promised it, so I'm sure it will happen soon.
  11. I see the Boris spin machine is already preparing the ground for his failure to deliver, again. We have warnings that a No Deal will cost money that may have to be diverted away from all of those promises he made to the members last week. The inevitable No Deal that his and Rees-Mogg's investments rely upon will be sold to the easily-led as the fault of 'traitor' Corbyn/Hammond etc and nasty foreigners. This is The Thick of It in action - but with less laughs.
  12. Global? That means competing with the top six clubs in the world. I look forward to seeing his plan... Then again they already have 'the best atmosphere in world football' so Eisner needs to raise his bar a little - 2025 conquer the Earth, 2030....the Universe!
  13. It's like we've been stuck playing in that rigid Man City first team all these years and now we've finally got that dream move to be player/manager at Barrow.
  14. From that footage it looks like it was the Leeds players who needed police protection!
  15. It's pretty clear that this motley band of toxic misfits and corrupt loons will fail to deliver on the promises. But the strategy will already be in place. Their failure will be the fault of Corbyn, the Lib Dems and or the EU, never their own. So get extra popcorn and a comfy cushion, the Boris months will be a hilarious parade of mistruths, spin aimed at the gullible, and gaffes. Grayling's final act was to order our handcart for the forthcoming journey - from a company that doesn't have any.
  16. Difficult to know where I stand on that one. Unless I'm wearing a raincoat and wellies, then I'm happy to stand anywhere around the pool.
  17. Little things like that won't worry Kenny Jackett's red, white and blue army.
  18. This turbo-charged MegaFixture is clearly being moved to Wembley as the trusty Fortress can no longer hold the plucky blue army in such vast numbers, and they have their own dressing room at Wembley after winning the cup which didn't count when we won it, was boycotted like a dentist for all rounds bar the final, and is now held up as akin to a pot by Jules Rimet. The music festival was worried that the headliners would be playing to an empty field, and probably wouldn't even be able to get onto the island because of the traffic chaos caused by the frenzy to back Jackett's brave troops on their all-conquering journey as they battle all the way to the Premier League and reclaim their status as equals to Boscombe. And while we are on facts, as they pleaded not to be wound up over theft and fraud, it was claimed that every home game brought £13 million into the city. Which is funnier than anything I've ever made up, but could lead to some big compensation payouts to cafes and taxi drivers.
  19. If there's nothing on your journey that could be improved by a minor tweak, you are very fortunate.
  20. Personally I wish I'd heard her husband coming up the garden path slightly earlier. Maybe overtaking that lorry in Curdridge wasn't as wise as I thought at the time. That white trousers and shoes combo was a mistake. Other than that, I've been fairly happy just learning as I go. But anyone who says they have no regrets is kidding themselves - and no one else.
  21. The two halves of that sentence are jostling for supremacy.
  22. The betting industry will be keen to gather data on problem gamblers - so they can continue to milk them.
  23. It's better than the pre-season when they explained how they struggled because they were too fit - or that holiday where they invited all-comers to a training camp that didn't cost a penny. I miss those simple glory days - pedalling across Europe on stolen bicycles, living in makeshift shelters in the woods and dining on exotic rodents. That was a proper value-for-money pre-season, long before they followed the Barcelona model and splashed out on a Sports Direct table tennis set.
