I often read stuff like that on twitter and have no clue where all these source tweets come from…. Someone in a WhatsApp group started babbling on about Almiron’s release clause last week…that led to the traditional internet assessment of the player (either shit or world class, Miggy is apparently the former) which led to me basically suggesting that he should shut the fuck up and wait and see what happens and stop reporting the most inane bullshit rumours from wankers in their mum’s spare bedrooms. No one has spoken to me for a week now, think I’ve been removed

An oldie but a goodie

Mags plainly in the crowd at Trent Bridge today…

Ok SpongeBob, spill…how do you know the divine Ms C??

Corbyn hangover? Maybe Starmer is Kinnock…maybe Streeting is Blair, maybe Phillipson is Blair?…. maybe the combined effect of 40 years of Murdoch + Brexit = final victory for these utter fuckin ball bags ?….

I used to visit Cullompton in that constituency regularly when I worked for the NHS… I have doubts whether that bunch of snide two faced Tory bastards will vote Lib Dem in sufficient numbers to overturn a 24k majority. The local Labour website doesn’t even mention the by election so I think some sort of informal deal has been done, which is encouraging 👍

Thought I’d Google Casey to see if there were any articles by him seeing as he’s a “journalist” ….obviously there’s jack shit but there is this gang of bog hopping turf cutters gibbering away for over an hour on YouTube…. I only watched the first 10 mins but despite his strong protestations the bareley comprehensible Casey does nothing to dispel the thought that he’s just making educated guesses…don’t know how many Twitter followers you need to start making money but he’s on 10.1K this morning.. (this may have been posted in January apologies if so)

Hmmm….

That’s just made me spit my coffee out all over Costa’s fake mahogany table, you’ve painted a scene worthy of any carry on film

Do you have a sideline in playing the drama queen son in Schitt’s creek?

James O’Brein is currently arguing with a Moslem gentleman called Dilli about who decides what films are allowed to be watched in the UK

Morning Gemma, here, get the oriental rodent throbbing to all this!! https://understat.com/player/4456

Fair enough, you did say that he contributed to survival too… I wasn’t suggesting that a comparison with Pukki was worthwhile either, but for clubs on a budget buying players with one main skill that isn’t immediately obvious but can be proven with stats is sometimes a way to steal a march on those around you. The first Moneyball book goes into all that. I think Wood was well worth the money we paid for what he contributed .

The internet: no such thing as an “alright” footballer…they’re all either “world class” or “shit”

If you’re including me in this alleged “anti stats brigade” then I’d suggest you look at posts of those who criticised Wood the most. This stat appears to me to be useful because it’s an observable skill, not some mythical “X” bollocks…my opinion of Wood is that for all his size he wasn’t a typical target men/back to goal style centre forward…mostly when he received the ball outside the penalty area he looked to move it on as quickly as possible, sometimes into the space a defender has vacated who was attracted towards him due to his physical size..don’t know if that fits in with your stat but I could see with my own eyes the value of that to the way Howe wanted the team to play 👍

Those leading the err “rebellion” need someone who can unite the party and win an election….SPOILER: there isn’t anyone in that fuckin cabinet is there?? If they’re going to get this done it’ll be from the back benches….Hunt is a twat but far too clever to take it… people are mentioning Penny Mordant who Johnson sacked as Minister for Defence or Tom Tugrhadt…

Who’s keen on taking the job in these circumstances @Gemmill?? Anyone that stupid to be even interested means they’re completely unqualified and will lead the Tories to a 1997 style defeat in 2024. That’s why he’s staying, unless he goes to the country and gets a mandate from the electorate . That looks like his only option and there’s a fair chance it might work in the short term.

I gave what I think is a thoughtful and considered reply to that thread

I looked at his wiki before Fist asked the question

I just looked at his age, fuckin hell I’ve got pants older than him Tories are royally fucked, no one wants to be leader so we’re stuck with him. That’s not good for the country… no one’s got the balls to try to fix the mess Johnson has caused though. Hunt will be lent on to grow a pair today I think….
