  1. And the fact that both clubs have already said we're going to sign him.
  2. I think they will be a bit like Leicester. They won’t drop to 12th but psychologically and in terms of their luck in games and with injuries, it’s hard to see them keeping that kind of form up. That’s even assuming they keep their key players.
  3. 2 goals from open play in over 7 months, both at home to Arsenal.
  4. No manager will succeed with that squad, the egos are running the show. Pogba is the worst, they need to ship him out ASAP. When he isn’t happy he just downs tools until the manager gets the boot.
  5. That’s weird, I can’t remember locking a thread about Gunn. I mean, there was this one thread called ‘Gunn’, which was actually just a tedious troll post calling other fans stupid on the back of one howler but he can’t be talking about that.
  6. I thought Huddersfield hadn't bothered at the start and we were just having a kick about with the stewards. Might as well TBF. Garbage overall, two seasons summed up in 90 minutes. Possession, a lack of real chances, wasting the one we have, throwing away a lead at home to bottom half opposition, individual howlers leading to goals, bored, overpriced.... The main positive I can take from today is that I will hopefully never see some of these players again. Before next season, I've got 2 F1 weekends, British Touring Cars and a sh*t load of cricket to take my mind of Saints. Hallelujah!
  7. Surprising really, all those late goals makes for good TV drama. Surprised to see Bournemouth so low and 11 games is 10 too many for Burnley.
  8. Even if they did rename it the ‘Globex Corporation Investments Stadium’ or whatever, everyone would just call it St Mary’s anyway.
  9. I don’t actually see the problem with a late kick off. Longer to drive up, have a few pints, go to the game, a few more pints and stay the night. There and back in the same day is a b*tch of a journey anyway.
  10. In other words, if your mind has already been made up because of past experiences which are nothing to do with this incident, which just make you look for any form of confirmation bias and blank any evidence to the contrary.
  11. Wouldn't mind VS if they actually made the kit. I reckon a nice, turquoise, satin number would really bring out the colour of my eyes.
  12. I think if Spurs won the Champions League, they’d be aiming a little higher than a man who narrowly avoided relegation, may or may not scrape 40 points and who’s teams have a nasty habit of throwing games in the last 5 minutes. IF Poch goes Howe, Gracia, Benitez and Santo are all much more enticing prospects.
  13. Straight swap? Dream on. This could end up like the Jones/John or Bridge/Le Saux transfers where it’s not officially p/ex. But kind of is.
  14. If Shane Long falls over in the box and there’s nobody near him, does he still make a sound?
  15. I’ve heard he’s got three houses on Park Lane, so he can probably afford to take a pay cut.
  16. Indeed. I’ve just read that Chelsea and Arsenal are getting 6,000 tickets each or the Europa final. That’s it, the rest of the ground - corporate.
  17. No more dangerous than alcohol or using a mobile phone.
  18. I've got a decent slow press juicer, it's magic. If anyone's got one - Carrot, kiwi, ginger, pear and kale. It's the future!
  19. Probably that the Royals are pompous, posh and out dated, who’s role is little more than being paraded around for the media and public like performing circus animals. I’m not saying it’s funny but that was clearly the intended punchline. The fact that the 25% black baby is a monkey, whilst his 50% black mother is a snooty looking, upper middle class white woman, means it doesn’t actually make any sense as a racial jibe.
  20. No problem, in accordance with your own beliefs, I will now ban you for my misinterpretation
  21. So the Beeb are going to sack everyone they employ who's a bit stupid? Could take a while. Yeah, I must support racism because I don't think Danny Baker deserved to lose his job. You stay classy Tim.
  22. Actually it's neither. He has been fired for not realising that a joke could be misinterpreted. Welcome to 2019; People are being sacked for saying something with zero malice aforethought. He should have just been allowed to delete the tweet, explain what he meant and we can all move on.
  23. I don’t know about ‘obviously funny’ but the point of the tweet was quite obviously calling the royal baby a chimp and not black people as a race. I have no doubt that there are prominent media personalities who may think along those lines but the idea that a broadcaster and entertainer would knowingly say something so blatant, knowing it would be the end of his career, is ridiculous. Even Nick Griffin wouldn’t tweet something is blatant as, "black people are monkeys," so why you think Danny Baker would I don’t know.
  24. Baker has always been a bit of a tit but I think this falls into Hodgson/Townsend category of wilful misinterpretation. Nobody genuinely thinks he is calling (25%) black people monkeys but they’re willing to pretend they do so they can get offended.
  25. We were sat front right and the three suited gentlemen there, with the camera, were from SNN doing a short piece. The pitch gets relaid every summer anyway. I’m hoping they stick some of the turf in the car park again because I’ve been landscaping the bottom of my garden and the grass seed I’ve bought seems a bit useless. Austin seems to be channeling his inner Aguero, let’s see if it pays off for him.
