I can't believe we're getting rid of both Stoke and WBA in the same fell swoop. If Palace could find a way back into the mire as well it would be a perfect season in terms of relegations.

Aye, technically true with Stoke having played a game more. Think we can ignore the whole thing now. The bottom 3 will stay as they are IMO.

That would be tragic

Just noticed someone pointing out that their match thread on us vs Arsenal is twice as long as the one on NO. Granted there seems to have been a high number of our lot on there (including The Fish of course) but even so that's bizarre. If that 6 in a row irrelevance had never happened, I wonder what they would be clinging on to right now.

Is it just me or is essembee trying harder to be normal now that we have something to be happy about?

Mbemba is still here?!

Nice. Really good move for the Switch as well.

I'm encouraged that HF seems to think we will net spend £70m this summer.

...well that's me sold. EDIT - wait - is it done well?

This is my view on it as well. And I really think that's what the other teams in the league did last summer when the crazy money was flying around.

Aye, as amusing as it is to think about, we're not ready for it even if we did sneak in by some miracle If we finish 8th I'll be delighted. If we finish where we are now I'll be delighted tbf.

The internet 'right' believes this to be a false flag. The left as well. Interesting times - the centrists are widely considered untrustworthy it seems. Anyway, I suppose it's encouraging that the situation hasn't yet unravelled.

A lot of the Arsenal fans commenting under the several Guardian articles we've had written about us seem to want him. I don't actually think he would go there though, unless Ashley does shaft him. At best with Arsenal he might win a couple of cups and I guess rejoin the 'elite' of managers in the CL... But with us, he wins one trophy and becomes an instant legend. From how he has acted since being here, I want to believe that he is more likely to value the latter.

I prefer it to actual kids dying.

What would you have him say?

Just caught up with this - I think I saw an article about 'online violence' that made similar points. While it's easy to dismiss (and usually you can skip death animations anyway) I can see why it bothers some people. Not that I play a lot of shooters, but you hardly ever see people do this anyway.

Nope. The Tories seem fine with having hard right fuckwits, so I'm fine with the overenthusiastic leftists. Sorry.

What makes you think that this was Corbynistas? The far right, as I recall, are anti-interventionist.

I think if the Syrians used Chemweps then we should take out their facilities for doing so, but we should absolutely not get dragged into a wider conflict. We will though, because the Tories are fucking insane. Can see Corbyn's point if this inadvertently triggers WW3 as well though. Or if the Russians respond by annihilating civilians.

Been away for a few days, has anyone brought up this^

I hope we end up centrist but now isnt the time. Theyre only going to split the left and entrench the Tories. Which is the only reason they exist.

Snowflaking

So it seems an assortment of millionaire fuckheads are establishing a new party of 'the centre' in the latest bid by the rich to do anything they possibly can to prevent a left wing victory. I predict this new party will get far more coverage than it deserves.

Fucking get in!
