I was sat on the edge of the bed pulling my boxers off and my wife said, "You spoil them dogs".

They are too busy lying on their beds tucking their shirts away in case someone from Kazhakstan is going to visit them.

There was once a particularly stroppy bus driver round ours and years later I discovered wor lasses father* had been regularly 'climbing aboard' said stroppy driver's wife. *He was divorced from the Mother in law by that time.

I saw this pic the other day and somehow it would've been completely erased from my memory had I not seen it these years later.

This is fucking heartbreaking, I know a lot about this subject and some of the stories in my local area are awful, its 2020 and kids are living in homes where familys choose beer over kids food, these meals are the only food they get, to vote against this is truly one of the worst options a sane person could choose Karma will be sharpening tools tonight

FYP.

The Sean Longstaff who played under Rafa offered a lot more creativity than Shelvey does actually. Rather than just looking for hollywood passes, Longstaff moved the ball forward with both feet playing it in for attacking players (Rondon, Miggy and Perez at the time) in some space in positions where they can cause the opposition problems. Unfortunately since Bruce came in Longstaff has looked slow and very low in confidence and hasn't managed to play in anything like the way he did that first season. He was either just having a purple patch when he came into the team, the injury has ruined him or Bruce has. I have my own suspicions which one of the three is the reason.

Cracking “sheds”.

The notion we can only attract deadwood is bollocks imo. Just because no other club in the division would touch Bruce with a barge pole shouldn’t infer every other club in the division is a more attractive option. On the wages we pay and the stature of the club and the league were in there’s bound to be loads of managers who’d come who are more progressive, younger, hungrier and just better than Bruce. Even if we were just viewed as a steppingstone (which is pretty much how every decent player we’ve signed over the last decade or so has viewed the club).

I’m on poppy watch today.

Well it's their own fault being born into poverty. It'll teach them an important life lesson and enable them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get on their bike. And if they can afford a bike they can afford food. Fucking scroungers.

Being a cunt is voting to starve kids. Standing up in parliament where your words will be recorded for eternity and actually telling the world that that you want to do it is another level.

Ah there we go, there's something worse already.

Walked out on or sacked by every club he's managed I think. Quick to lecture players about loyalty though

He came, did a good job, wasn’t backed and subsequently left at the end of his contract. What an incredible turn of events. And in any case, UM’s preferred option is one of the most mercenary managers out there. Has he ever seen out a contract?

so don't you think it had anything at all to do with benitez having some self respect? you know... wanting to make his own decisions on which players were bought and sold to suit a system, fielding the players he wanted to, showing a modicum of ambition, upgrading the training facilities beyond those from the dark ages, not having it regarded as a negative that he engaged with the support, standing up to two absolute fucking know nowts with the footballing brains of a dead slug .... those sort of things? regardless of whether or not you're happy with bruce, you'd better get used to his ilk matey boy, because the fat lad won't be employing anybody like benitez again.

The first part of that statement isn't actually correct though, is it? Wasn't he offered a new contract at a much reduced rate which he refused and then they chose not to negotiate and withdrew all offers?

English, mates with commentators, played for ManU - what's the issue?

Bus breaks down in the middle of the road, blocking traffic at rush hour. The driver has a look at the engine to see if there's anything he can do while waiting to get towed. A woman in her garden notices the driver struggling without any tools and shouts over "do you want a screwdriver?" "not right now love, I'm trying to fix the bus"
