adios

Fair enough.

Has @ewerk lost his feckin' marbles?

I'm gonna go fucking NorthernSoul on anyone who comes in here doing their best Comical Ali impression btw. Keyboard and sherry at the ready. Fair warning.

There it is from troops up the page.

Aye, didn't he say something today/recently about a meeting last week that he still hadn't heard back about? That's not playing your cards close to your chest, that's sending a message that you're not happy.

Good ol' Big Mike does love a gamble, the abhorrent cunt.

I feel that looking at his demeanour he's not happy with how it's going. I'd be surprised if there's not a bunch of Del Boy wheeler dealing going on, but it won't be enough to guarantee survival. Though it'll be enough to probably survive.

I think his position makes him a cunt, not necessarily his talent if that makes you feel any better.

Shut it, @Thompers.

We're all a bit of a cock in some ways. I've been using semicolons posting on fucking message boards because I'm trying to get used to using them for example. Cuntworthy!

@The Fish I like to think I have a pretty broad vocabulary but I also use different lexicons (ooooOOOOOooooh!) with different people. ie I don't talk about Game Theory Optimal strategy with everyone like I'm talking to a fellow professional. As I'm sure you don't talk about Data Science, or whatever, with thompers like you do a work colleague. See Hemingway vs Faulkner (the twat). They both have their place but they know it. I enjoy Will Self ffs but I don't recommend him to many. Obviously you are free to do whatever the fuck you want but I'm just trying to support what The Quiff is saying. Language is first and foremost about clear communication but I also like to think about what makes me sounds like a cunt, like ditching the use of "whom" and "one" and that missing comma at the start of this sentence in this particular circle.

I'm not really into bashing posters these days but he's hit the nail on the head with a couple of his comments. Of course people react to the poster at least as much of the content, but they didn't pick their impressions up off the ground. Took me a while to figure out that thompers somehow turned out to not be a total mong, for example.

A fair cunt.

No doubt the Quiff has his obsessions with taking shots at certain posters, but he's not the one looking silly here.

Saw that, @TheGingerQuiff!

Fuck it, if the Mackems go down I'm supporting Notts County.

Would also really fuck up his bargaining power if it was true unless the deal is signed, sealed, delivered and then we'd already know that. So it really is beyond stretching it.

The Mackem Slayer will send them down again.

What @ewerk and @Howay said is the first thing that crossed my mind. A buyback first would be arse backwards.

I'd be getting a priest in to read me the last rites tbh.

Not remotely like Leazes, Leazes Lite, Provisional Leazes or even I Can't Believe It's Not Leazes.

Aye, at least they can afford that.

We know only too well what a team that looks good on paper but is rotten to the core gets you. From a distance, it feels like he'd have a better shot of saving them if he signed a squad of Sunday League players with the right attitude.

It wouldn't be easy to work out. A Spanish mate of mine a long time ago thought the phrase "fudge packer" was "fudge panda" and it stuck.
