It's every other day or so Gloom. What the fuck are we supposed to think? There are individuals blatantly fuckin "at it"

Still, it’s taken the heat off Johnson refusing to look at the picture of the laddie on the hospital floor, so, job done Laura

As usual Cadwalladr nails it. The story that needs writing up is who the "senior tories" are that are spreading fake news during an election campaign. And print the faked whatsapp chats about 100s of protestors being ferried to the hospital in taxis paid for by Labour activists. All of it lies. At best, Kuennsberg is a useful idiot who is shit at her job. At worst she is complicit.

The fuck did I do?

We played defensive, counter attack football with an actual targetman, and a number 10 who harrassed their back line all game. We played further up the pitch because of that and so Rondon and Perez weren't as isolated as Joelinton is. We played with centre backs who would spray the ball about confidently but who were just as comfortable keeping the ball when possible. Now, we're humping balls up to nobody, or to Carroll when he's on the pitch. Joelinton is entirely on his own, Almiron and Saint Maximin need to beat two or three men before they get close to the opposition box and our defence is our biggest attacking threat. Also, I'd say that Benitez' defensive displays owed more to organisation and design, than to passion and individual ability.

There's stuff like this happening every day. How appalled do you have to be not to see there is a systemic problem here?

What if you knew beforehand that it was j69s inheritance?

The media aren’t solely to blame for the rise of the Right, (Labour need to take a fucking good look at their utter failure to stop it over the last 5 years, too), but there’s been some blatant fuckery at play- not just the BBC, with their Tory QT audience plants etc, but the shocking amount of influence Murdoch, The Barclays, Rothermere etc have over UK politics is scandalous. Maybe I’m just getting salty because I’m fucking sick of it, but it fucking stinks to high heaven of “a cabal of mysterious Cuntish Businessmen” Edit; I’ve just seen Kuennsberg’s video of the “attack”. I retract everything I just said. It’s a fucking stitch up.

I can certainly blame them for giving an extraordinary amount of exposure to fucking Farage and whichever version of the National Front he’s currently peddling, without balancing it by giving, for example, the Greens an equal share of publicity. Everyone, left or right, knows who Farage is. I seriously doubt even 20% of the electorate could name the leader of The Greens.

Agree with that. The problem with the hiring of Bruce was that it underlined that 17th was good enough. If the guy overachieves and gets us midtable then great for him, but that doesn't mean the club will kick on. Every season will be a relegation scrap that is easier or harder depending on how well he does, but it will never get beyond that point. So yes, there's nothing Bruce can do unless he can actually change the entire philosophy of the club.

Just take away half of them. I'll give Bruce his due, since the Leicester debacle we've played with a spirit and a passion that's got us some good results. But we've not actually played well at all in any of the games v those teams who we're up against in mid/lower table. It'll come to a shuddering halt at some point in the not too distant future.

Due to the nefarious origins of the thread poster, what became the original match thread has been unfrotunately destroyed. So that this important piece of the rich tapestry that forms our history is not lost to the annals of time I have elected myself as the chronicler, and will thusly record the thread as I recall it. Joelinton is shit. We too are mostly quite shit, but definitely nowhere near as shit as Joelinton. Can you believe we won despite our aforementioned shittiness? Oh shit is ASM seriously injured? Fuck. We'll be needing these points.

"Too late was the cry..."

Could be worse. Could be a total tiki twat

Could be worse, mate, you could be a Pimms drinking shithouse

Even then

Bruce is a cock, no amount of victories will change that. Factor in that most don't batter an eyelid whether we win or lose anymore then he's going to be waiting a while for any kind of recognition from most. J69 obv still cares like, whevener theres a free ticket going.

Paging CT

Ugly Mackems was.

Having said all of that, it looks like that tweet LK sent to her 1m+ followers about Hancock’s advisor getting lamped was done so without her even being there and has since been contradicted by video evidence. This is absolutely awful reporting on her part and she has to be reprimanded by the BBC if true.

Where do the idiots working for Nissan get their information from? The ability of populists to present lies without challenge is the reason we're here. That and the fact that we don't educate people properly.

Bruce has done well, certainly a lot better than I thought he would. It hasn’t changed my mind on his ability level though. The thing is though I’ve seen it said from the mackems and the media etc along the lines of ‘what does Bruce have to do to win them around’ etc, but he wasn’t the problem. He’s never been the one I (and I would hazard to guess many other fans) were bothered about, nowt changes until Ashley fucks off, that’s why I’ve never been arsed about wanting rid of Bruce or getting on his back. Ashley persists as the rot in this football club. If Bruce maintains this sort of form until January, or until the summer his reward would be lack of investment, we will never capitalize on momentum. We have somehow managed to assemble the best centre back group the club has had in my lifetime, I’m pretty certain any of Lejuene, Lascelles, Schar, Fernandez, or Clark would get a starting spot (or at very worst be the main backup) in basically all the squads we’ve had in the PL era, will we build around that? No, that’s why Bruce doesn’t matter and that’s why I’ve never been arsed about him short of calling him a shit manager. Good for him though and I’m taking nothing away from him, even if the wheels fall off at some point he’s still likely on track for one of his best seasons in management. Again though the problem will persist.

At this stage, you get the impression Johnson could visit the lad lying on the floor, unzip his fly, and piss on him, live on TV, and it would make no difference to those voting for him. That's what I find unreal.

She's great. And another media early middle age sex goddess. I bet she can say "fuck me harder slave" in the language of all 27 EU member states

Parliament suspended every three weeks…

Wow, she doesn't look any bigger than a 34B in the photo.

Jess Phillips is one of the few good things the Labour Party has going for it, but she's not a party leader or a PM. Thornberry, Cooper or Starmer are the choices that could win an election. So it won't be any of them.

She's dared to criticise the regime, she's got no chance.

1990 just called. It wants its joke back

I get the application of the rule and everything, I just think it should be there for the ‘howler’. More widely I think it interferes far too much with the flow of the game. The decision was correct though, in terms of the offside but I’m not actually clear if the official was at fault for putting his flag up or not tbh. Edit: I thought HMHM was saying it should just be there for clear and obvious errors

That’s a bold question, Noelie.

Fished your post

you see bruce could have all the planets align for him like pardew and fluke a 5th place finish and he'd still be a cunt. he's more than happy to go along with desperate and nauseating shite like this.... https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/get-a-free-half-season-ticket/ with his little mate lee, but there'll not be a peep out the twat with regard to buying a centre forward who has a rough idea on which part of the pitch the goal is, unlike the £40m (cough) pile of shite he was lumbered with. nor will we ever, ever hear a word from compliant stevie about investement in the training ground/academy so as it doesn't resemble something out the dark ages.

Apologetic arse licking cunts

I'm ok, sorry to worry you pal.

Stop defending these cunts

Aye, when I read that story the other day, my first thought was also “ what kind of cunt doesn’t give it back?” People are cunts.

i agree with that. i'm sick of the sight of the cunt's face on QT

The BBC will absolutely deserve it. It shouldn't happen, it would be a disaster for it to happen, but if it does they're just another turkey that voted for Christmas.

As I've said before, Cooper seems what you say but her entire leadership pitch in 2015 seemed to be built on reviving Surestart. It would be interesting to see how she'd do now knowing there's an appetite for more among the membership.

Cooper is a proper politician. Her questioning, whether at PMQs or the home affairs select committee, is forensic. She would have taken Boris to the cleaners in the debates, she would swiftly end the antisemitism row, she could unite the party and is the most electable potential leader Labour have. But you’re right, the cult is most likely to turn to another unelectable radical, such as Wrong Daily, enabling another decade of Tory rule.

Boris has dodged Brillo but good to see other “MSM” interviewers stepping up to the plate

If he waits a bit, he’ll be “where he belongs” anyway.

Still in 11th place of the third division of English football but now 5 (five) points away from a play off place currently occupied by.....checks table..... Coventry City.

This is a corker. Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the Stadium of light

“Hot women” Hello, fellow men. I love to watch sports and eat spiced meat produce. Go team!

Are ‘they’? Fucking fascinating that like, marra
