Aye. There in his capacity as a GB news presenter, opining on a constituency, half of which will be folded into his constituency at the next General election. Reeks. Unfortunately he's too wealthy to have to actually worry about anything but I'd just like to see him out of public life.

Where are people gonna go now to get top level sporting content like the blow-by-blow inside story of Luke O'Nien man-marking Sheffield Wednesday's Barry Bannan out of the league one play-off semi final? It's one of the great sporting contests. Ali v Frazier, Coe v Ovett, O'Nien v Bannan. Just feels like Netflix are making a huge mistake if they don't keep this going.

The latest season of STID feels a lot like they just felt like they had to draw a line under it. 3 very half hearted episodes and I'd be surprised if they bothered their arse with a fourth season. Mental really when you consider the huge global appetite for terrible lower league football, morbidly obese fans, and that beeyewtiful accent.

Apparently Bone was threatening to stand as an independent and campaign against the Tories if they didn't make her the candidate. So they bottled it and still gave up the second biggest Labour swing ever. I just love watching Sunak suffer. Hoping for plenty of that today and over the weekend.

If we get beat, I'm tasking you with finding and kicking fuck out of PL's mates. If PL gets caught up in the crossfire? So be it.

Tory vote share has collapsed from 62% to 24% in Wellingborough, the biggest collapse in their vote share since WW2. Looking forward to them telling us how there's "no great love for Keir Starmer" as if losing that badly whilst no one likes Starmer is actually a good thing.

As expected, Labour gains in both by-elections. Wellingborough in particular was a massacre. As bad a week Starmer has had, Sunak has managed to top him.

beyond a joke now. I'd make him wear a bra when he gets back into the team.

"Bryan Shwanshon. Shky shportsh. At Shaint Jameshush Park. Back to the guysh in the shtudio."

It's fucking mental how the press have gone for Starmer over the Rochdale candidate thing over the past couple of days. Compare that to the non-reporting of some of the absolute fiddlers that the Tories have had as MPs who have triggered most of these by elections anyway. Labour are held to an entirely different standard by a lot of the press and the Tories just allowed to skate on loads of stuff.

Ian Darke was Sky's big boxing commentator too. He loved the bantz with Steve "Buncey" Bunce.

Him and Dharmesh.

Does the season finish with them getting promoted then? I know we take the piss and stuff but that owner they've got. Fuck me. He's just a bairn. Making mad decisions like sacking the boss with no replacement and then you see on this that the bloke they eventually appointed proactively got in touch with them to see if they had any interest in him. Just brutal mismanagement.

It's just undeniable that the news agenda at the BBC has been corrupted by the right.

I've just started watching it. The "Previously on..." for the first episode was glorious. All of that sadness and turmoil distilled into 3 minutes. Like a thick misery syrup.

Who even is he? It's like they've got the team leader from Accounts Payable in to give his views. Is he an ex-agent or something?

I'm not having that. Tonali's gambling habit would have been kept firmly under wraps. I don't think that can be pinned on anyone at NUFC. Having said that, if he goes, I hope Man United's first big signature signing turns out to be the fucking Acca King of Italy and the bloke that dresses up as Foxy for Foxy Bingo.

I genuinely hope this move falls through and he stays, but if he goes we'll replace him in short order and we'll still be run like a proper football club. The whole point in having a setup like we're going for, and like the one we brought Ashworth in to run, is that you can replace people without the whole thing falling over. See Brighton for evidence.

Aye. I'm sure he's very good, but he's not irreplaceable. The fact that we're currently the biggest club he's worked at tells you that all the clubs bigger than us have someone they're perfectly happy with in his role. That patter about his laptop makes him sound like a pervert anyway.

According to Lukey boy they'll have to pay £10m compensation and he has a 12 month gardening leave clause. They can shorten that but it'll cost them. Lovely stuff.

I don't know how easy it will be to get on with Ten Hag. The bloke has an insane ego and clearly likes being the big lad. Suspect it will be very different to working with Howe.

Aye, the "as long as compensation is agreed" part of Hope's tweet is by no means guaranteed, if we do what we should and demand big numbers.
