Sad that, great tweet from Cornwell. Saw them once at Glastonbury early on a Sunday afternoon. Considering their early slot they were brilliant, he definitely made them different to any other band. Also, from his wiki: He was born in the south coast seaside resort of Brighton. Prior to the Stranglers, Greenfield played in local progressive rock band 'Rusty Butler'.[3] “Rusty Butler “ is the new greatest band name ever

Went for our usual walk on Saturday, but earlier/later than normal, about midday. Lots of people out, fair dos, they were just doing the same as us. Two lads in their twenties approached, we stopped but couldn’t go into road because of traffic. They continued to get closer when one of them gobbed on to the pavement about six feet away from us, before they walked past within a couple of feet of us This comes after I was wandering down towards my gaff with headphones in a couple of weeks ago and two grey tracksuit wearing twats cycled past me on the pavement. I was listening to the most recent tome in the Trainspotting series of novels and suddenly I was giving it my best Begbie; “FUCKIN TWO METRES YOU CUNTS!” which I immediately regretted as they stopped up ahead and started staring at me... I crossed the road and carried on, still half a mile from home...they circled in the road up ahead, then disappeared over the brow of the hill...I got up there and they were stopped chatting to some other cunt, by this time I was on the lookout for bits of wood or even a fuckin traffic cone to use as weapons.. I passed them on the other side of the road again, thinking if this was where it would all end, and I hadn’t even seen who the Saudi’s marquee signing would be....eventually they passed again, but didn’t look back, shooting through the red lights at the cross roads at the bottom of the hill... I’m never listening to a fuckin Irvine Welsh novel again...

Hope all is well Fist Galashiels is a fuckin shithole populated by utter cunts. It was the last town in Scotland to get inside toilets; to this day the absolute worst thing you can call one of them is a “fuckin pailmerk” ie pointing out to the scruffy bastards that they still have “the mark of the pail” (bucket) on their arses because that’s what they used as a toilet till relatively recently. We got beaten up in first year of high school when we played rugby there by their 6th formers who were waiting for us in the changing room. The test centre is at Netherdale, adjacent to the rugby ground where visiting fans are often heard shouting “DIRTY GALA!!” at the home team & their disgusting followers. Apart from all that, it’s ok...

All that was a couple of weeks ago, I can’t be arsed with the fuckin hypocritical cunt. I asked and got a response. It’s out there now, however I’m not a massive thirsty twitter twat, I’ve got about 200 followers, mostly bots, naked lasess and cunts trying to sell something. Although someone called ...*checks notes*... Chester Copperpot re tweeted my question to Holt out of the blue earlier so I expect that’s someone on here, thanks whoever it is

Oh yes...

I asked Ollie Holt about this very thing....

I’m still of the opinion that the PL would have to change the criteria of the tests whilst they are carrying them out for them to knock it back. They might well do that due to the piracy issue, because that effects all clubs and the pressure will undoubtedly be coming from the other 19 clubs to sort it

That’s really sad, ...fellah my missus works with had a kidney transplant a couple of years back climbed Kilimanjaro in January...the difference it’s made to him is amazing.

Was drinking a lot less in the last 10 days but fell off the wagon spectacularly last night during a zoom sesh with my brother and his kids...a cocktail made if Lidl spiced Voodoo rum, ginger beer, cider & lime. And Cornish IPA. And whisky...

if anyone hasn’t seen this scenario coming a mile off then they’ve not really been paying attention

I could do that... I started working for the NHS on April 1st However.....I’m signed off from work by the docs due to Coronavirus and as such haven’t completed any sort of induction, not been given a laptop or a phone and no email address

Naglesmann is the best young manager on the planet. Get him for a couple of seasons before he goes to Real or Barca...

I doubt he’d take some sort of bullshit ceremonial/ambassadorial role, glad handing corporate punters....unless it’s literally a place on the board with some sort of responsibility....or maybe just a board title with his only (part time) role to be the first person a prospective signing speaks to from NUFC.... I’d definitely halve him overseeing recruitment in some capacity...

Don’t want Coutinho. Failed twice since Liverpool, too inconsistent

There were 3/4 senior players all running their contracts down to get Bosmans. Was it lack of investment that made them all do it?..

After some initial misgivings I've decided not to give a fuck...it's for the best

Years between Bale leaving & Sissoko arrriving. There’s no players at the club left from that time bar the argie who takes the fancy pens?

I think it’s hard to put your finger on what went wrong for him? Fans seemed to turn on him within months of him getting to the champions league final. Think a lot of it was about recruitment and not having a replacement for the increasingly injury prone Kane . Suspicion that he’s been flogged to death by Poch

This maybe the most entitled, presumptuous thing to say but Rafa is unlikely to win a league title in England. He’s a counter attacker to his marrow. You don’t win titles in England by ceding large amounts of possession to the opposition. Was he indisputably the best manager that was willing to work for Ashley? Yes. That doesn’t mean he’s the right man for where the Saudis are likely to be aiming us. The exception to the rule is of course Leicester, but as we’ve seen that’s not really sustainable long term. The Saudis will be thinking big, trying not to sound conceited but so should we
