A man has been detained by police after pouring a flammable liquid over himself near the Houses of Parliament, the Press Association reports. He's a living metaphor for the UK.

So Bruce has taken the players to one side, yelled at them, cancelled training, and now needs 'clear the air' talks, 7 games into the season. Yes, he has 100% lost that dressing room. I don't think even Ashley will let this continue much longer tbh. What a farce.

I sometimes wonder what opposition fans think when they come on here - presumably they come on expecting to see bravado ahead of games or whatever, and are then bemused to find a group of football nihilists who actively want their club to be relegated and to stay relegated, barely paying any attention to their opponents or the wider footballing world

Like that panel at his conference that was being Islamophobic while discussing the issue.

Who is even buying this anymore? It's totally pointless bollocks. The EU have apparently already dismissed it - I mean, as if they can't see Johnson for what he is ffs.

He's just denied this anyway by the sounds.

I read the guardian and the Mail, the rest are all paywalled or irrelevant and i only give the Mail any sense of relevance because it's the clearest insight into the kinds of the gammons.

I haven't seen the details of this, the guardian isn't reporting it, but it sounds dumb as hell just from your description.

That is superb.

Heaven forbid Bruce manages to get us 17th mind. Delay the whole thing for yet another season...

Yeah but in this instance, the 'devil we know' is enough for me to think it worth the risk.

Sounds good to me.

True. Honestly I don't care now, I just expect us to go down and hope we stay down long enough for Ashley to fuck off. Whether's he's infected by Bruce or cholera, I don't care, as long as he goes.

See, ewerk misses you too.

This is the entire Tory political stance summed up - populist bollocks and deflections to Labour.

I don't get the guitars thing either. I think the politics will calm down once Brexit is done, in about 50 years or so. Anyway, fair enough - just thought it was worth expressing some appreciation, off the back of being a little inebriated.

Well, me either. But the community is enough to keep me around, even if it is largely the politics threads for me. I do appreciate you're a family man with other responsibilities now of course but you're a pillar of the community, not that the community would ever admit it @TheGingerQuiff has been beside himself with you not around.

Aye but the thing is, why has she come out with it now? It'll be to put the pressure on over Brexit - I can get behind that for sure, but literally everyone on the other side of Brexit will immediately dismiss it as a hatchet job, rendering it pointless.

You should post more tbf

Are you firing up the old comedy twitter account again?

I consider it a good result tbf. The sooner we go down the sooner we lose Bruce at the very least, and maybe, just maybe, if we can stay down - then we can lose Ashley. He is -never- going to go while we remain in the PL. If the choice was between 10 years with Ashley or 10 years in the Championship, but Ashley fucked off after season 5, I'd take that all day long.

How in fuck is that a private matter for a sitting Prime Minister?

Now we'll get Bruce telling us that the sending off cost us, and the number of injuries, etc. Then some comment about how there's no excuse.

I don't disagree but in fairness, they'll call it an "extreme left wing purge" reminiscent of Venezuela.

Bring it on tbh. Perhaps, like Sunderland, we need a double relegation to get rid of our owner. I would just about take administration over Ashley at this point.
