@thebrokendollHe's apologising now. Why he put that video up when he lives in Newcastle, is beyond me.

PMQs is a good example. She started off turning up with 6 mad as fuck, completely unrelated questions. A lot of It culture war shit. And Starmer completely ripped the piss, and 400+ people in the chamber were openly laughing at her. That shit used to get the "hear hear" treatment, or some nutty backbencher would put forward a mad proposition and Sunak would thank them for raising this important issue.

Relatively speaking though. I mean look at Badenoch. She started off trying to major on culture war shit and has had to dial it down massively. Partly cos as opposition leader, she may as well have been screaming it into her pillow, but also cos she's been ridiculed in interview for some of it. If she was PM, we'd all still be having to lap that shit up. I don't think Musk getting involved has helped the right too much. Generally speaking, the British don't like rich foreign cunts getting all up in our business. See Brexit, Elon, you cunt.

Well this can't be bad news for us.

I've sent it to my mam, telling her she should read it as stuff like this needs to be heard, as this is the undeniable reality we now live in. I was round there the other day and she's among the final minority that still think it was a good idea, and she insists it's been a success. Bearing in mind, I've spent the last week opening savings accounts for her and getting her money transferred across, cos the whole process confuses her.... So she can't open a savings account, but she is in absolutely no doubt that she understands enough about trade and economics to unequivocally state that Brexit has been a success. Ridiculous, really, and underlines why we should never have been handed the decision.

Hope reckons Howe seems a lot more comfortable with our PSR position than he ever has in the past. In the sense that he understands it, accepts the reality, and seems comfortable explaining the situation. Hopefully that's Mitchell doing some of the work to get him on board, and hopefully it's also cos he knows we're building to a big window or two.

THE GOLDEN CLIPBOARD!

Purple is where they should be if they were performing in line with their xG. Effectively wha the Expected Points table looks like. File Forest under "having a moment" and reference Chris Wood if you need that underlining. They should be closer to mid table. If they could revert to the mean for the rest of the season, that would be nice.

The truth is, even if Miggy had stayed, Murphy getting injured would have fucked us. Cos Miggy isn't playing anywhere near the level Murphy is and, whilst he's always a willing runner, is more often than not a dead end to any promising attack. Obviously it'll be rose tinted spectacles time if Murphy gets injured, and everyone's hankering for purple patch Miggy. But if he'd stayed, we'd more than likely have been treated to brown patch Miggy.

We could do with Villa absolutely blowing this Duran money on some lads that don't work out.

What some people think Mitchell's job is... PAUL! TRANSFER WINDOWS OPEN.... The bloke has a job between windows, lads. If the CEO or Chair isn't happy he's doing that job, he'll be got rid of. We'll spend in the summer.

Yeah you're gonna have your hands full NOT providing updates about this one.

No one is coming in.

At his age, they probably should sell him for that sort of money. Especially if Arsenal come in with an improved bid today. But it fucks their season, and there's no guarantees when you're trying to replace one striker, never mind two. Lineker was saying they're after Joao Felix. Not sure about that move.

Is it still on the table? I'm completely oblivious and just assuming it won't happen given Duran is off.

Fuck me.

It's a video. Watkins saying it's his dream to play for Arsenal.

Alright Savile.

I don't really see the point in redeveloping SJP for only 8k seats more.

You don't want them flying planes tbf.

70m deadline day swoop for Chris Wood.

Are PIF disrupting our CL rivals?

They can have Murphy for 64m.
