Howay

Chuffed with this one, as DK said about the best we could hope for to replace Townsend. Townsends best performances are better than his but I think Ritchie has less off games than Townsend. He's more of a technician winger (like a destitute mans Beckham type) than a pacy one but that will help is in a division we are going to have a lot of possession.

Further evidence of why it's brilliant he's no longer in charge of anything besides his personal shopping list.

Best move of the summer if that utter cunt leaves.

Aye he didn't play enough games for me to be arsed about him going.

That's the one aspect this hinges on really, how much does he want to go back to London. I assume it's a fair bit but you never know.

Aye Palace is a fucking hovel, their ground is shit and their facilities are Championship standard, he'll be playing in the PL but bar the opposition it'll feel like a step down. We will be back in a year in all, it'd be a waste of him leaving if he was to just go to no marks like Palace. Would have to listen to Alan Pardew daily as well which would drive anyone into a deep depression.

He's ok and will be something different up front in the championship, £10m is steep mind but at least it's a positive buy.

3 of the 4 goals the team have conceded ffs. The formation has looked pedestrian and struggled to break teams down in the 3 prior games so he thought he would stick with it. We would have got murdered by France but ffs at least go and get murdered by France don't lose to fucking Iceland .

Hodgson looking at his watch clueless. How the fuck did he keep his job after 2014. He is completely unable to break teams down that are set up to frustrate or hang onto a lead.

How is Hart still the number one Cost us goals against Russia and Wales ffs.

:lol:Intro to Finance by CT "these things go up and down" ffs.

What a complete and utter fucking shambles this whole thing is. I cannot believe people actually voted leave, there was not a single compelling reason to do so, which has been completely displayed by the fact the gaggle of bellends leading the campaign have no fucking idea what to do in the aftermath. I really hope the Scottish parliament find a way to block it or the MP's simply ignore the referendum and refuse to follow up on it, I think a lot of people will breathe a sigh of relief (including a lot that voted leave). Between this fucking nonsense and the crap going on with Trump it is genuinely frightening this "moron movement" that seems to be sweeping politics, ignoring experts and acting like painfully rich, overly posh jeb-ends are working class heroes is fucking ridiculous and needs to be packed in. iirc the founding fathers of the USA made the electoral college as the didn't trust these fucking animals to actually think this whole voting thing through, it seems like they were completely spot on with that assessment as people still aren't thinking before voting hundreds of years later. Sickened by reading posts from utter morons I went to school with now acting like they're financial masterminds, these same people have never worked and one lass has 3 kids to 3 blokes and spends all her dole money on pints in her local, scary that people like this have caused utter fucking havoc and real possible hardship for people like Rentons mates in research.

If England can't beat Iceland I hope Hodgson never gets another job, I say that as Hodgsons faffing on is the only reason I can see why we wouldn't win. After watching France I think that'll be the end of England in the QF but a loss to Iceland would be an utter fucking embarrassment.

They're constantly referring to the North East as depressed, working class, down-trodden, then that cunt cable comes on and straight away has a pop.

Aye getting a bit scary this, the remain wins are either close or in areas with about 12 people. Need some big areas to hurry up and get counted.

I must admit the ballbag politicians they have on the BBC wont really be helping this wave of dislike towards politicians (which some have said is why they'll vote leave, as a 'that'll teach them' type of thing), constantly fucking sniping at each other about how the other ones didn't campaign enough.

Aye whatever happens this is embarrassing for the North East.

They're predicting close to 70% leave in Hartlepool, with people on the street citing immigration as the reason. What fucking immigrants are in Hartlepool ffs? Meanwhile the pound's strength is dropping at a mental rate.

I had a feeling when I saw the Newcastle one was so close that the fucking Mackem tramps would be voting out.

Disappointed that it was that close in Newcastle.

He's also meant to be like 8 year old in the book, no idea in the show but he's still young and terrified. My biggest complaint wasn't that he should have zig-zagged it was that I literally couldn't give a fuck about Rickon, he has barely been on the show and most of the time that he was he barely spoke anyway. If they were always heading in this direction a little more could have been done to make a connection so you felt a pang of sadness, instead it feels like Rickon's entire character was to force Jon into that charge. Another minor complaint would be Jon's charge, I understand he would be full of hell about his brother being killed but howay he surely knew Ramsey would kill him and completely hoying away your battle plan decreased any chance of possible revenge, this from a bloke that was fairly calm under a siege by zombies... It was needed to set up the dramatic ending I suppose, now it's time to watch Littlefinger creep on Sansa for another hour .

Good post Fist. I hope the remain vote wins out and it spells the end of that snivelling cunt Johnson's political career. The markets have been going mental over here with fears of a Brexit and people have been forecasting a drop in both the Sterling and Euro, all on the back of something that hasn't even happened yet and you've got people telling CT it'll be business as usual if the leave vote wins out... I think the major thing is it'll simply be a pain in the arse for regular people if leave wins (at the very least). I've no idea what people like CT think they will personally gain from the UK leaving the EU, it has significant repercussions on the protections of workers, their holidays, and will of course make actually taking those holidays more of a hassle, even if these people successfully ignore the macro-economic effects and pin them down as fear mongering these protections and benefits (such as freedom of movement across EU countries) do disappear and may not return (or at the very least to the level they are), especially with a tory government led by a cunt like Johnson with a cabinet that includes complete bellends like Farange. I really don't understand how people listen to blokes like Farange and Johnson, then act like these fucking toffs are men of the people. Complete and utter chancers trying to create undeserved promotions for themselves off the back of xenophobic voters (not all leave voters I know but that is their base). I'll be carefully watching the news at work all day tomorrow, I really don't understand how CT is on here arguing then saying he's not that arsed, this vote has massive repercussions.

To be fair to England every team we played went for the draw, Wales played a back 5 with 2 DM's, Russia were very defensive and Slovakia had no intention of trying to play today. I agree that England should have enough about them to score past shit like Slovakia but it's frustrating playing these teams that have no intention of trying. Roy fucked about too much with the team as well, the bloke is a shit manager tbh and should have been sacked after the 2014 World Cup. Hopefully we end up playing Iceland rather than Portugal, although Portugal have looked fucking hopeless.

Pogba has had a good start to the game

Aye only scored 4 more than Mitrovic, spent his entire career in this country so has no adjustment to make and is 8 years older. £10m is a fair price for him £25m is mental money but I suppose if Watford don't think they can attract better.
