Waikiki is in Hawaii, Wykiki is in Leeds

Im not sure 90% of football fans want them to do more tbh. I appreciate there's a new era of football geeks who like to analyse every minute of every game, discuss the merits of trequartista's and claim to be a big fan of that Serbian u18 player no-ones heard of, but most people will just want to see the match highlights before they go to bed

Ben Davies is a footballer for Spuds. Ben Dover is a film maker of fine repute.

That's a fair cop.

Even I wouldn’t have destroyed Dave like that… he needs to accept xG is bollocks though, his life would be fundamentally better if he did

at the not so subtle digs

My pet mouse "Elvis" died last night. He was caught in a trap. 🙂

He’s only 32 An ex teacher, honestly if you were confronted by this fuckin strap on at a parents evening you’d put a safeguarding request in . UK & US both have cunts like this as lawmakers now. It beggars belief..

Let's get @Dr Gloomin here and kick the everloving fuck out of him about this.

Absolutely. And fuck every lazy Tory MP, every right-wing rag and every social media bore who singles out footballers for daring to be young high-earners, when they typically also do huge amounts of community outreach work like this too that makes a massive difference to people, a lot of it without fanfare. Yes, they've got the luxury of having the time and the means to do it, but show me any hedge fund manager who does equivalent good.

An Everton mate just sent me this. Fuck. Me. Hayfever is bad today

In laws have said we can have Nico Williams for free if we include taking Woods back

I can start a match thread for the next general election, Rents, if you want to get a Labour win locked in now? Do not despair.

Before it all came out I was suggesting this about the BBC before the last general election and I think most people on here were largely sceptical about the institutional bias. But the fucking scale of it is, well, off the fucking scale. If you look at something like Brexit, it’s still the biggest brake in a faltering economy and it still barely gets a mention. That’s if it gets a mention at all. In relation to everything from supermarket supply chain issues, to the NHS labour shortage and the massive knock on effects for overall productivity, exporters, manufacturers, etc., etc. The BBC have played a massive role in this gaslighting of the entire population and are a major reason why even a Labour Party looking at a potential 300 seat + majority are scared to even mention the huge problems being outside the Single Market is causing.

Think I’ve sussed out who Albert Smith is

It appears to have been replaced by a Nice 'n' Spicy Nik Nak.

April 1st. Fucking jizz whippets aren’t even trying to hide the piss taking are they?

FYP

So listening to bits of that budget, my summary take is that, because there is a labour shortage due in part to Brexit (didn't see this on the side of a bus): If you are retired: GET BACK TO WORK YOU OLD CUNT. If you have kids: GET BACK TO WORK and ignore raisning your kids, YOU CUNT. If you are disabled: GET BACK TO WORK you bone idle shirker, CUNT. If you are unemployed: WE'RE STOPPING YOUR BENEFITS YOU FECKLESS CUNT. Is that about right?

Yeah, I remember it, was the Mail. The paper of the brown shirt (covered in sewerage shit) patriots.

Also

Can’t remember if it was the Express or the Mail that quoted a tweet from Sir Michael Take a while back under the misapprehension he actually was a former Tory MP. As daft as that seems the rhetoric isn’t that different to the satire

That fucking tory tweet with Braverman's prologue is a fucking disgrace. It's overty fascist in my opinion, and combined with the blatant lying about Labour we have come to expect from this government. Sir Michael Take's mockery of it doesn't cheer me up, because most people won't see it and anyway satire is dead, he could well be a real tory back bencher like Gullis. It really shouldn't be legal for the home secretrary to do this, and yet they have the fucking brass neck to try and censor Gary Lineker. I think I officially detest Braverman the most of any in that rancid party, which is some stiff competition. From the day she came on the scene, she just struck me as evil incarnate. I had believed she was too stupid to advance to the upper positions of power but Johnson has normalised incompetence and here we are. Starting to despair we can ever get out of this now.

FIFA have had to diversify their money making now that it's not as easy to accept envelopes under the table to host the tournament in illogical and undeserved locations. More games, more money, simple.

Don't get any ideas, CT.

Can confirm your drunkenness that day. However the state you were in at Cardiff that season made Forest look like a Temperance Society picnic

I'm pretty sure I've only been twice, first was a pay on the gate game on an unheard of Monday night game on something called BSkyB iirc for a 3rd or fourth round replay, I don't know what happened to the planning but there was thousands went down which they really weren't expecting and a young Roy Keane scored a third and tried to be Billy big bollocks in front of our flasks support who were in their seats in the main stand, separate to the rest of us in the in the terraces. They weren't amused and got up to have a word with the cheeky scamp, a la the benches in the East Stand. Anyway, Clough had already seen bother and our fans on their pitch a couple of years earlier so was less impressed with Keane than the youngster imagined and subbed him off asap. 3-0 defeat. Went when Hughton's side pissed Div 2 but we were beaten down there again. Half five ko and I'm not saying me and my mate over indulged on the train plus getting there at dinner time and straight in the bars but my pal went to walk out at HT thinking it was the final whistle.

I find it staggering this is only now the case. Just walking through town before, and fuck me it's like a set from the Last of Us. All the restaurants, cafes, shops, are deserted. Everything looks so run down. Shuttered retail space everywhere. Northumberland street, once the second busiest retail street in England after Oxford street, is a fucking dive. Cracked paving everywhere, interspersed with bare tarmac where they couldn't afford to replace it. Beggars and tramps on every corner. At my local Co-op in Tynemouth yesterday there's this homeless person who was drinking vodka neat out a bottle in fornt of the school kids, at 8.30 in the morning (and no, it wasnt me!). I mean, when I think back to the New Labour years, did I just imagine things were so much better? The town was busy, thriving, people had money to spend? Not saying it was perfect but my God, I reckon if you could do a side by side comparison it would be striking. And all the time we're paying more and more taxes for worse and worse services. And only NOW are people waking up to the fact that maybe, just maybe, the tories are fucking SHITE at running the economy.

They're from Yorkshire, they're not going to knock down a perfectly good stand just because nearly 100 people died as a result of it.

I wonder where she gets that from?

So, one of the good things about Spotify is obviously after I listen to an album (I still do this) once it finishes it continues with a play list with music simialr to that album. So today up pops the Divine Comedy with the theme from Father Ted (Songs of Love). I like the Divine Comedy, especially A Lady of a Certain Age and my Lovely Horse, but probably not the type of band I would actively listen to. But I must admit I actually listened to the lyrics to this song and thought they were brilliant. Made me think of back in the day times of Newcastle or Whitley Bay nightlife in the late 80s / early 90s meat markets that I could never feel part of. Remember those turqoise dress shirts, and then the striped ones that looked like pajama tops, and beige chinos, etc. Also reminded me of ewerk (given what we know of ewerk's irishness, skin pallour, and his obvious solitary proclivities). First verse:

Stop the boats.

His mam had morning sickness… …after he was born.

I'm not on twitter anymore but had a quick look at the curry trust spat. Fucking glad I'm off there, what a pile of shit, man. Looks like he wants people to join him and he's not happy he doesn't know any of the trust? Guess what? Neither do I, but here's the rub, I don't fucking know you either, dipshit!

Aye, we wouldn’t want to look bad… … unlike Quasi-fuckin-modo.
