Nobody expected him to be as good as Benitez. It’s only the likes of Edwards who’ve had it used against them because they brought it up originally when it looked like Bruce was going to get more points, only for them to lose their blob when that blew up in their face. I agree to an extent that it’s a daft question because it’s difficult to answer it honestly without criticism of the owner but Bruce talked about building and improving on what Rafa so he set himself up. Also, when was getting less points the same as matching a points total. And if you’re going to react like that then you’ll inevitably get stick for it and keep getting asked similar things. Bruce likes to bang about how long he’s been in the game and how he’s seen it all and he chomps like that over a relatively benign question? What a fucking tit.

He was making a living within the EU but thought his life would be better out of it - just like knackers who work in car factories who fucking knew it was dependent on jit manufacturing. Just like the people of Lincolnshire who hated the Eastern European farm workers but wouldn't do the jobs when they left. There was a lot of shite propaganda but fuck me they still have to own it which is why this let's all forgive and forget bullshit leaves me cold.

Needs more fret.

Hopefully one of the Villa journo’s will ask him how he thinks Dean Smith’s record compares with his.

This is the remains of the actual High Bridge, underneath Grey St. The bridge is the large, triangular arch at the top, the smaller, circular arch is part of the sewer/culvert. This is a similar one of Barras Bridge , the remains shown top right. Again, the large arch at the top is the bridge, with the smaller bottom arch being the sewer culvert. I love stuff like this.

It's the narrow world view of most brits that is exposed - we take the piss out of Americans without passports but far too many British people have no interest in anything beyond going to Spain for a fortnight - that's why bemoaning mainly young people being denied freedom of movement meant nowt to leave voters. Another thing that never entered their minds was simple things like buying things from abroad. I've bought some electronics from the US and from Hong Kong or China in the past and have accepted the ball ache of customs and vat by including it in the price but obviously it being a thing for EU countries is new. "If it doesn't affect me it doesn't matter" is the mantra.

It’s hard to disagree with Gloom.

Yet again.

It’s hard keeping up with the Jones.

He was yeah, he was replaced by Jones. Jones was there before Jones was too. I’m a quarter Jones on my paternal grandmothers side, so it’s nice for the family

Only joking, ya big crack addict. Even you are more insightful than Savage

Hes not getting sacked...he's bringing in a coach who's a GEORDIE Greame Jones, Martinez's assistant at various places including Belgium... Hes well thought of....its doesn't on the face of it appear to be a bad move which means it'll never work and we'll be relegated with 25 points

Harsh

There are gobshites on here who can talk more insightfully about football than Robbie Savage. Not you though.

Sacchi won 2 European cups with Milan and took Italy to a World Cup final and never kicked a ball in his life. I'd say he was more qualified than Robbie Savage to talk about football

Let's not kid ourselves that the odd leave voter here or there lamenting the situation is representative of all of them. I'd wager that same 40% that vote Tory still fundamentally believe this is a downside free exercise in reclaiming sovereignty.

Because there was an entire campaign lying saying the opposite which were more convincing? Partly because the media, collectively and individually, didnt do their job? Take the bus, the media fact checked the £350 million figure was an exaggerated gross figure rather than a net figure. Fine. But who gives a fuck whether its 350 or 200 million, it still sounds like a fortune either way. What the media never explained was that the loss of trade outweighed this by at least a magnitude, or that the payment to the EU amounted to a cup of costa a week each. Amd they rarely explained the benefits of membership (Remain also failed spectacularly on this score). The bloke made the wrong choice but has had the humility to admit it. I can respect that. You need to embrace the prodigal son to move forward. This guy isn't to blame, he was conned along with millions of others. The people to blame are the corrupt politicians and the media who were complicit in their lies.

Honestly, what the fuck is the point of this kind of announcement? All it tells people is "sure, you're not allowed to have anyone round to your house but we won't police anything that's 14 people or less, so go for it". We're never going to get out of this, are we?

like his entrance music was going to come on just before Biden raised his hand and George W Bush was going to start yelling "bah gawd thats DONALD TRUMPS MUSIC"

How is Gemmill, did you say?

Especially given you just know he’ll be opinionated about a range of subjects on which he’s completely ignorant

I know it's done the rounds many times but this still makes me laugh

Phone? I read the forum on a ZX Spectrum with 300 baud modem.

Rather that, than needing one to find my cock

Lake Bells Tits is still in there, he's probably 40 by now tbf.

He only looks like the best of the bunch because he’s an old-fashioned centre-half in a struggling, disorganised defence tbh

Too many ex-footballers,now pundits,believe they’re the stars of the show.They know best.Buffoons like Chapman on MOTD act so clueless,it has to be the way they’ve been told to act.’ You are the ex-footballer,I’ve never played the game,so what did happen’. What the new fashion is for ex-footballers to wear,he wears the week after.He looks a right prick when he wears those white soled shoes.Prick.

Is this the one that is 8 times more resistant to vaccines? I'm struggling to keep up with the doomscrolling tbh, I've long assumed we bottomed out into a hell dimension sometime around 2016.

What a fucking tool this bloke is, does he have any redeeming features as a man?

They had it tough though. Social mobility, free university education with grants, access to affordable housing, retiring in their 50s on final salary-based pensions and so on

As usual you have to factor in the proportion of tory voters who are over 65 so don't give a fuck about businesses or even the economic prospects of their children/grandchildren.

If anyone gives a fuck, The History of Swearing is entertaining. Only issue I have is the cunts didn't do an episode on cunt but thankfully all the British and Australians in the Pussy episode kept saying the word just to make a point.

EFL on Quest regularly has one of the lads from the NTT20 podcast on and he’s decent value. I appreciate I’m probably the only person that watches it though.

The guardian has a more detailed article on the Nissan situation. The supply chain problems are being caused by global shortages of computer chips due to problems producing them, rather than import issues. Also, Nissan are claiming that Brexit has delivered them a competitive advantage because the deal sets out that from 2027, car batteries for all EU/UK cars will need to be produced in the EU or UK. Nissan happens to have a car battery plant right next door to it that supplies it exclusively. So that's allegedly their advantage over everyone else. What I'm confused about is what difference Brexit has made to this (I assume this battery policy is actually an EU directive) unless the UK government were the ones who insisted on it.

Sitting in a bar earwigging people next to you talking about the match = Fly-on-the-wall podcast.

100% I know the newer breed of pundits are improving the... craft(?) but you only have to look at podcasts (not mine so yous can all FUCKRIGHTOFF) to see that there's an appetite for people talking about football after doing some actual research/homework. Football Ramble is good for this, right mix of insight and levity. They don't rely on conventional wisdom, and while I sometimes disagree with their conclusions, I can't fault their work.

Do you think this board is remotely representative of the British public? It's not. Asking that lass to have understood she was a liable for VAT on a £200 imported coat based on a paywalled article in the FT 2 years ago is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? And then having the gall to say the BBC shouldn't have reported it because it's not news? Well I've got news for you, it was news for her and it was news to most people! It wouldn't have been news if you had done your job properly (you meaning the MSM, virtually all of it, not you personally). And you're still getting basic facts wrong.

Reading the reports about Q Anon people today. They believed right up until the second Biden was sworn in that it wasn't gonna happen. That Trump was going to rise up.

No. You can zoom the words now with your fingers you know. Takes ages like, especially when your fingers are arthritic.

DK was there opening night for Jack and Jill

It's the other part of the pundits bullshit that they basically believe that unless you were a professional footballer your opinion is worth absolutely nothing. You don't need to be an ex pro to be able to see that what Bruce's team is serving up is absolutely awful anymore than you need to be a Hollywood actor to be able to tell that 90% of films involving Adam Sandler are fucking terrible.

Yeah, we definitely need a crèche where the under 40s can talk about tamagotchis, Drake, twerking and whatnot.

36! Fucking hell who let this nipper into the adults section!?

That's a bit excessive to be honest, it's only in the final three thirds where he needs to improve.

I like Clark, he's the kind of "get stuck in" type defender you need near the bottom, but I do get the feeling that he's the sort of player that if he stays in our first XI we'll always be limited to the bottom 6 clubs, a general mentality and ability combination. I say this as if there's a grand plan for us to push up the league, but still!

You actually don't, you just need to get the other batsman out, Smith can't carry the team (and be the twat he is) without other batsman. Just saying.

I think that was the match when Shearer was shouting to the bench something like “get him off! He’s shite” about two minutes after Fumaca came on as sub

Isn’t this “Photos from the North East”, as opposed to “Photos from North Yorkshire” ?
