lol Liverpool

Jimmy Savile's excuse. Must be a Yorkshire thing.

He's just not cut out to do the tucking in and joining the centre backs like Burn is IMO - I think it's been a bit tactical rather than a lack of faith. Hall is similar to Trippier - not exactly fast, but offers a lot on the attack - to have Hall and Trippier in the same team could be suicide without a proper CDM in the team to protect the defence whilst both full backs are up high. When he's played he's had a pacey Tino at right back, and in recent games Krafth who's replaced Burn as the more defensive full back. I just don't think Hall is great at the defensive elements of the game (probably as he's a centre mid converted to full back last season), and that's the real reason Howe hasn't played him as much - as neither he or Trippier are quick enough to make it work having both in the side at the same time (without moving to a back three or having a proper defensive midfielder in the side).

IS THIS BETTER?

Aussies are weird. "Aw look mate. Let's get a fackin hot chick with a violin, really toight gear on her. Stick her in the centre circle, and have her play the fackin whoite stroipes shit."

(I wholeheartedly agree, I just enjoyed the juxtaposition)

I might be being paranoid but the TNT highlights video from last night's Liverpool game. It's on YouTube, it's just under 5 minutes long. Usually these things aren't much more than the goals themselves. This one is about 17 Liverpool chances interspersed with the 3 Atalanta goals that won the match. It's like they can't even put out a highlights package without saying "but we still love you Liverpool. Love yooooooou. No you hang up first. Love yooooooouuuu."

A Study in Bemusement … ” Mama, why do these fat people keep taking photos of us?” ” I don’t know, mija “ ” Did Papi do something wrong?” ” No, angel, just smile, they’ll go away soon” ” But they don’t, Mama, they keep making us hold flags, and they smell like old churros” ” What is a sunderland, Mama?” ” I don’t know niña, I’ve never heard of it”

Do you think that we set up Juventus which us why it is not called Turin? Most people would claim that it is called Juventus because Juventus means youth and it was set up by kids from a hight school. I don't think this is the case, no logical explanation for why I disagree with it, it just will not fit with my narrative. Newcastle have black and white stripes and Juventus have black white stripes. I have now concluded and can confidentiality, albeit incorrectly, confirm that Newcastle played a pivotal role in their foundations. Who wants to join the Juventus Magpies? Nah, me neither.

Absolutely crackers. It's as ridiculous as me insisting that Wideopen is twinned with Sydney. Complete bollocks, nobody cares, and I'd get nothing but ridicule for doing it. But on this dozy cunt ploughs. What is he getting out of it? They don't care, in fact they've gone out of their way to debunk his claims, but he still insists they're going steady. Fucking weirdo.

I think it's meant to represent the sound of Dummett's boots hitting the grass in full sprint. But it's missing the ellipses between each duh

I had a proper weird day yesterday where I couldn't sort my mood out. It's never happened to me before to that extent, just getting really wound up by daft stuff and this overarching feeling of despair. I forgot to ring my dad in the evening and had this crushing feeling of guilt about it. Never experienced anything like it. Then woke up this morning and everything's absolutely fine. It's probably a brain tumour.

You've spelt Sundays wrong.

Yet he's started him in the last two games when he's had a much more experienced (and far shitter) Dummett on the bench. I don't think it's a case of not rating him, it's a case of not wanting to throw him in at the deep end unless it's absolutely necessary.

They actually printed this horse shit in the match day programme? Who won the Wear Basque football tournament BTW?

"The diaries didn't allow for a pre-season game". It wasn't the Bilbao lads going "u que mate? Sunderland who?!"

the word intertwined is doing some heavy lifting

Imagine…

encouraging to hear he wants to win teetles while he's at the cloooob

Trying to work this out. If that's true, aren't you driving on the wrong side of the road????

tragic lack of capital letters in that post.

I think with Miley, he needed a rest and he also is very young. Same as Hall. We forget how young they are.

I am not going to get triggered by that. Started Shogun and it’s good but would be much improved if they got white lads to play the Japanese lads and do hilariously racist accents IMO

You usually get called by them from birth or thereabouts 👍🏻

“One in the eye for Derrum Mags, marra! “ I’m not sure what he’s getting at here, but I can smell the desperation

Why does Bilbao black cat think Graham Milton is annoyed with him? He's clearly laughing at him like everyone else is?

SLUMLORD ITT!

Streeting wrote this in the Sun, playing to the audience. He's probably the most pragmatic of the new new Labour. I realise this does him no favours with the lefty brigade.

A few years ago maybe. I'm not that young anymore tbf, and I'm now spent as a force for 'good'. I'm too cynical and jaded, and I can't see how any of it can ever improve in reality. The ship sailed and I lost hope when it did. I'm now just bitter, as per my previous post

That can't be too difficult.

Only on sundaes

He’s full of shit and was very likely completely lost yesterday. On both sides of the border

Rear view camera mate.

Hall wasn’t terrible v Fulham but the very experienced Alex Iwobi had a pretty good game against him. If as Dazzler said you’ve got Tripps pushing up on the right then Hall’s natural attacking game and inexperience in defence was probably a bit too much of a risk for EH

By the time the next general election rolls around the "young urban voters" will care less about foreign conflict and the long term issues surrounding the environment and more about the state of the economy - once they move out of their parents house and have to start paying their own rent/mortgage and bills etc. Cost of living starts to take more priority once you have to pay to live. They'll care more about the state of the NHS when they have to start making their own appointments to see the GP etc. Then the next minority of "young urban voters" will come along feeling equally as isolated because there isn't enough focus on the next conflict, or the next culture war topic. Priorities change over time, and the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Assuming the 'young' of 2024 will still give a shit about the same things in 2029 is mental. Starmer is playing the game correctly, we don't even know what Labour's priorities are yet and he's already being judged.

Sorry to hear about the job BTW.

I honestly think this sort of story is being encouraged, if not commissioned by Labour. By the sound of it they're shitting themselves about complacency given the polling lead. You've got two MRPs saying they're gonna walk to massive majorities, followed immediately by this "but they might not!" study.

Maybe they can see a relaxing of the sponsorship rules on the horizon

depends who’s writing the code: **if_shirt=red**

He was just waving back at Ballard
