I don't think it's on that video but I saw another clip of his podcast where he's talking about one of his mental conspiracy theories about the way a building blew up. Anyway he goes "I'm obviously not a bomb expert.." and his guest, quick as a flash goes, "you should see your act". He's properly wounded by it. Can't laugh convincingly, can't think of anything to say in response, just sits there getting laughed at and eventually starts doing this fake laugh and "OMG so brutal" type patter. The prick.

Oooo oof wykiki has got the claws out for Howe now. There's no coming back from this. We've seen this before.

This is what I watched. It's half an hour but if you hate Joe Rogan, it's a good watch.

It's Sky. Everything that happens today is better than what happened yesterday. Expect more of the same from tomorrow. I know he's not on Sky Sports anymore, but Jim White learned his "everything's a game changer" patter through working for them for years. Bob Mortimer captures his essence perfectly.

Aye, apparently the vast majority of Pennsylvania's Latino community is Puerto Rican. Talk about blasting one into your own net. I watched a demolition of Rogan's most recent comedy special last week. A Netflix live event in which he absolutely bombed and about two thirds of the way through, completely abandoned his set cos it was going so badly and resorted to rehashing jokes from his act 15 years ago, and stealing jokes from former UFC fighter turned temporary stand-up Brendan Schaub. He's always been a shit stand-up, but this was something else.

When TP blows this, the Arsenal thread is mine. I literally just came in here to post that only to find my name being brought into disrepute by Son of Sutcliffe. Disgusting.

One of the best passes in PL history according to Carragher. The only place that cunt is irresistible is in an Appalachian hill town, and even then only to his cousins.

Messi-esque, that pass, according to Lineker. Give me Joe Willock's outside of the boot pass to play in Isak over that, any day. The kid is very good, but these pundits never learn about bigging up the new lad coming through.

The fact Gordon has signed a new deal probably does run counter to the idea that the players are losing faith in Howe. I don't know what's going on though.

Sorry I missed that bit in your original post. Interesting points you raise though. Something definitely doesn't appear right with effort levels across the pitch.

I'd say wedded to a formation that isn't working is undeniable, but he's maybe learned his lesson about being too loyal to players. Trippier moved aside for the younger option (possibly even a bit too early) and Tonali eased in now ahead of Longstaff. I think our current problems largely come down to an ageing (at the back), underpowered (up front) squad, and PSR has to take a good chunk of the blame for that. Set free in the transfer window, and with more competition across the squad, it's unthinkable that we wouldn't be looking much better than we are now.

Yes I'm well aware that it's a podcast, but it purports to be a news podcast. It's not a comedy podcast or a football podcast, they're covering THE NEWS and they're doing it as poorly as anyone else when it comes to Trump.

Interesting watch cheers, although I didn't hear any stunning prediction, the clickbaiting bastard!

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/how-kamala-harris-wins Really good (and positive) read from a former Republican strategist who thinks Harris is going to win comfortably.

He was asked about Isak's contract situation and said we're not currently in talks with him because of concerns about the PSR implications. I think he's likely just repeating what he's been told.

It's from Howe himself.

This stuff about how we can't sign Isak to an improved contract cos we've just signed Gordon to one, and PSR won't allow us to do the same with Isak. That is a situation that cannot be allowed to continue. Not only is it preventing us from strengthening, it's preventing us from retaining out best players. It's total bullshit.

He was also at one time getting performances out of some of those players that he had no right to be getting out of them. You can only do that for so long, and PSR has stopped us from replacing them and kicking on. If he does end up going, it's fair to say that he hasn't really been given the tools he would have expected following a takeover by the Saudis.

I desperately want him to succeed, but we've only played well in flashes for at least the whole of 2024.

They started off by showing him the worst possible replay. The far away shot made it look like contact lasted much longer.

It is starting to look like whatever magic touch he had with this group of players has gone. Be such a shame if we can't kick on with him. We definitely need fresh blood but that still doesn't explain the lack of any clue around the box etc. And that penalty decision can fuck off.

Every pass around their area is to someone standing stock still. There's no runners or movement.

I don't think Bruno's looked the same since his ankle injury.

He's never even lifted his head. Tit.
