you'd be surprised actually, I've been sat in the piazza dell'anfiteatro in the walled city of lucca and seen italians looking depressed as they rue not sipping their coffee in the bridges shopping centre. take an evening stroll down the champs-elysee in paris and you'll often hear the french deeply lamenting that brigitte bardot sounded like a fucking donkey when compared to the sexy makem accent. and in granada you'll see spaniards looking wistfully in to the skies at the eagles swooping through the sierra nevada and wishing they had some seagulls to shag.

You mean avant-garde. #FishedYourPost

Reminds me of this, which the Amazon algorithm thought would appeal to me for some reason: apparently written by the club’s historian. Although to give him his due, going off the synopsis, he definitely knows his audience: Makes you think

Well at least the penny maybe dropping with some of them. From the 'Club has became an absolute embarrassment' thread..... Wood spotted despite trees. Repeat, wood spotted despite trees.

Rosenior has sacked them off 😂

The more this drags on the bullet we seem to have dodged with this grifting cunt appears to be more of a surface to air missile

Who knew Sunderland and the Tories had so much in common.

Yeah it's one of those "makes sense" instead of "makes waves" kind of signing.

FTR, he wasn't listening to me when he was texting out pictures of his knob, as a married man.

"Carlos Tevez Martin Demichellis Jermain Defoe Yaya Toure" "Err, hello? Is that Carlos Tevez?" "Si." "Now that you're back home in Argentina and managing independiente would you like to jack it all in and come and be the Sunderland manager?" [Phone hangs up] "Hello? Hello? Carlos? Are you still there?"

is it feasible that things can keep going wrong for them until a point is reached whereby you start to feel sorry for them? nah.

About Lloyd Kelly, he's not the most insane signing ever but he will do a job and seems like a smart acquisition. I am excited to see who we get as our 'marquee'/main buys this summer.

Eddie Izzard. In his fucking beret.

Ah, I see. I don't disagree with any of that (besides the bench warming stuff). But, given my reputation on here I'll say it's all horseshit and you should feel bad.

and another thing. they should abolish the rule that says you can have £105m debt over a 3 year people. I thought that was meant to be whilst clubs got used to spending restrictions to help with rainy days. It's now used like a speed limit on a road. make it zero debt.

He should just be honest and say "I was really fortunate not to have to go without as a child, and it's what I want for all kids in this country". It would be a lie, but at least it couldn't be clipped up and used to make him look like an out-of-touch idiot. The thing is, I bet his brain feels like it's been through a liquidiser at this stage. He won't be able to open his mouth without wondering whether he's saying something wrong as the words are falling out of his mouth. Even delivering rehearsed and prepared lines is killing him, so the prospect of sitting in front of someone and not knowing where the next half an hour is going to go in terms of questions must be shit. The pressure must be insane. I can't feel remotely sorry for him though. He'll live the rest of his life in absolute luxury, whilst everyone else suffers the consequences of his time in government.

".....ooh what a typical, typical BBC vox pop.....aaand in a 'northern' town."

You should go into accountancy with that level of brains.

It's a sign of what a great country we live in that a little Winchester College boy who "famously" doesn't even have Sky TV can one day grow up to be Prime Minister. What a rags to riches story.

@Christmas Tree

Well, well, well. Another Everton moment from Gemmill.

Sunak's cringe interview on ITV now. Paul Brand is like a robot made from parts of Max Headroom and Kryten.

They should get Joey Barton in.

They are dismal, this lot.

He absolutely knows his audience inside fucking out.

"Obscure young managers who might be canny" 😂 https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/obscure-young-managers-who-might-be-canny.1634845/

Exactly what I thought. Will be a fine squad player and that's a good thing, not every acquisition needs to set the world alight.

Amen to that

Probably more responsible for the Leave vote winning than anyone else tbh* *except CT

I've been telling you all how to do it for fucking weeks, arsehole. No surprise that the bloke who accidentally collapsed the "Main Boards" section and thought he'd been locked out of the forum has taken his fucking time sussing it out though.

Fuck them. They lie about everything so getting something they said being blown out of all proportion is absolutely fine by me.

The LibDem slogan for this election should be "Ooooo Betty".

We don't win it at a canter though. and last year was a 3 horse race until 1 of the horses pulled up lame. An uncomfortable number of our titles have been final day wins. Older City fans have been dropping like flies due to the stress i'm sure. Our spending is not the reason we've won so much (yes a massive factor as it always has been). the reason was very clearly Pep. Unrestricted spending doesn't win you the league. The correct squad / manager combo does.

not so sure about that. it doesn't need to be unchecked. just not restricted. you have way more money than us. we have way more money than chelsea. chelsea have more money than anyone would reasonably spend on a football team. the squad limits alone would probably keep things fair as the very best players want to play not sit on the bench. for me the rules should be aimed at keeping the overall quality high. so investment good, debt bad.

Ooof, just heard a clip there of Sunak apologising to Brand for being 15 minutes late because the D-day celebrations "ran over".

The infrastructure in this country is well fucked. Are we too far down the line to take highways maintenance out of private hands and put it back into public? The social housing this is huge and is so seriously needed. Not 'affordable' housing btw, proper social housing.

Wait, this is the interview he left the D day commemorations for? So, he bascially made a catastrophic electoral mistake so he he could go and do another catastrophic electoral mistake?

Are they though? The No.1 message that Labour have been trying to get across over the last two years is that they can be trusted with the economy and there would be no new borrowing, which evidently appeals to most voters. But iirc we have the second lowest level of government debt among the G7. We seem to be convincing ourselves that our national finances should be run like a household which isn’t the case. The markets shit themselves when Truss announced her plans not simply because she wanted to borrow money but because she wanted the money to fund tax cuts. If a coherent plan was put forward to borrow money to invest in the country and our infrastructure which in turn would boost the economy then the markets wouldn’t be so spooked and peoples lives might improve. Instead what we have is the next government saying, ‘things are shit right now, we’ll try to make them slightly less shit’.

NO DISH RISH: MY SKY TV HELL ... Is how the Mirror is covering this.

We've got to build a squad where we've got quality across 20 odd spots. To do that you do have to buy people that can play in the same position as others. He's much more forward thinking than Bruno from what I've seen of him though.

Aye, right. And I wouldn't let Margot Robbie suck my cock either.
