I might have picked this up wrong but I'm sure Richard Keys said last night that if Trump dies the Americans should bring in Sam Allardyce till the end of the season.

Bad day in the Richard Masters household.

Nowt wrong with Ole. They're out of the relegation places. Financially stable.

One of the current Mrs PL’s favourites...shes often said I’d like them, and I almost certainly would, if it wasn’t for my bitter dislike of that fuckin cunt Henry Tudor & everything he stood for. I do enjoy this exceedingly petty and to most normal people frankly irrelevant grudge but to me he set forth events that we are still paying fior to this day. His modern reputation is a fuckin joke. A cold blooded murderer, nothing more . I don’t care about the complexities of medieval royal succession or the posh fiction of Hilary Mantel etc about the servile wankers who did his bidding. He was a cunt who has a strangely benign modern day reputation.

4-1 down after 37 minutes. And according to Tyler it’s because they haven’t supported the manager in the transfer market. FFS.

He needs to get a fucking grip. The country is going up in flames and he's on the verge of tears because Man United finished 3rd last season and got tonked today

I’d have thought it was giving Geordie Hero and full-time banter merchant/part-time footballer Andy Carroll his one year deal for his services to elbowing defenders. Ryder is slipping

Trying to think what's been best out of my lockdown reads. "Another Fine Mess" by Tim Moore, in which he drives a rickety Model T Ford across the Trump-voting states, was enjoyable as usual from him - albeit a bit less laugh-out-loud funny, probably because the subject matter is so profoundly depressing. Chris Brookmyre's latest, "Fallen Angel", was exactly the kind of intelligent but not too challenging thriller I needed over the summer, definitely worth a read (plus it's often 99p on Kindle ). Also been belatedly working my way through Iain M. Banks - I found "Use Of Weapons" surprisingly uplifting for something outright nihilistic in places. Tried to get stuck into some weightier stuff too - "The End of Days" by Jenny Erpenbeck was dark but really good; the joint Booker winner "Girl, Woman, Other" was good too although it didn't blow me away like it seems to have other people. Also read Martin Hardy's "Tunnel Of Love" but that was a disappointment compared with "Touching Distance" - there's a shoddy feel to the writing/proofreading, and I suppose the topic and narrative was always going to be a bit more disjointed than the arc of the Keegan years.

easy one sitting read if you've got nowt on and chilling for the day, thoroughly enjoyed it..... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Live-Outside-Law-Operation-Britains/dp/1846687969/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3TX2ME98UL2UX&dchild=1&keywords=leaf+fielding&qid=1601808422&sprefix=leaf+fiel%2Cstripbooks%2C337&sr=8-1 ps.... it's about one of the gang who produced vast quantities of lsd and were bust by operation julie!

That’s a fantastic, depressing, and terrifying article. The scenario ( towards the end), where they could have three legitimate claimants to the presidency is mental. Also, bonus points for using the word “pettifoggery”.…

Hiya Luke!

That's Ashleynomics, baby!

he managed a win thanks to asm against the only team in the league who arguably play worse football than us and he thinks this gives him a reason to be smug? I fucking hate the stupid, fat, ugly, lying, complicit cunt. I'd be willing to bet at that moment he was wishing he finally had the opportunity to play who let the dogs out..

You're cracked as a pisspot mate

Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool

Man U getting absolutely botted. 1-6

He's back again.

I'm sure any team's fans would be as grateful to have him as we're told we should be.

Apparently our best bit of business was keeping ASM, who has 4 years left on his contract, has shown no desire to leave and who there have been no bids for. Bravo, nufc.

Unless it’s Sunderland

I’ve read Pompeii- I really enjoyed it, but then I do nerd out on historical novels. If you haven’t read them already, I’d recommend the Shardlake series by CJ Sansom. They’re set in England during the reign of Henry VIII, and the titular character, Matthew Shardlake, is a lawyer hired to investigate shenanigans and chicanery amongst the various swine in Henry’s London. Very much like Harris and Cornwell.

People discussing the performance rather than trying to troll their own team’s fans you mean? Fancy that

I’ve yet to see ANY evidence that Joelinton can ride a bike and eat an apple at the same time while wearing ankle socks. Until he can prove that he can then he shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as Shola.

It was a bit like a latter day Shola performance except Shola had the excuse of about three hip operations

The decision from the current owners is imminent and has been for the last 2 or 3 months. There’s either not been a bid or he’s not been able to provide proof of funds (which in this case would amount to the same thing).

A little reading matter to pass the time while we wait for him to miraculously recover. Warning: it's pretty depressing. What a country. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/11/what-if-trump-refuses-concede/616424/

Take ASM out of that game and we'd have been as creative as we were against Spurs. I thought Fraser looked promising when He came on though. Reminds me of Bellamy a bit

Are hoffenheim turning out in Kangol yet

The more you watch it the more you appreciate how fucking perfect ASM's move and pass for Wilson's first goal was.

Pwoppa nawty at the Turf, you slaaags.

“It’s not my style to complain”, complained Steve

Has the daft tramp actually put a bid in yet? Or is he still pretending that there’s some reason why the bid isn’t in? I’m personally buzzing for his potential takeover, the insanity of his Twitter makes it an even more tantalizing prospect.

The daddy of Fiorentina shirts

@Kid Dynamite, I can only speak for the North Cornwall coast, but from Padstow up to Hartland Quay is a beautiful bit of coast. I’ve no-idea if it’s as overrun as the south coast in summer, but it probably is.

i'd rather square up to half a dozen drunken yokels from redruth than a swarm of midges from argyll and bute!

fucking tin mining cunts.

if i had to select a top 10 of stunning debut albums this one would feature right near the top. mind you, i reckon that top 10 would predominately feature punk albums! anyway, an absolute classic and well worth a revisit.

I don't have to tweet myself My mate does it for me I wanna be a Borg, a Borg a Borg I wanna be a Borg.
