yeah that’s the cunt

Is "Casadavey" the "charisma Dave" it's ok to like?

Cheers for that Were travelling tomorrow for a Friday night out in Mancyland. We’re meeting my newly single cousin and her mates. I can’t see anything going tits up there. Nope. Not with four lads away from their domestic cares for the night...

This is getting fuckin daft now https://open.spotify.com/track/3fVj1G4adoGqIstdC4DkPw?si=tXC5rL7IRRSAPZ04FPjbfA

Enough first world problems people...this is apocalyptic....if this is the shape of things to come it will see mass emigration from a western style democracy due to climate change....

Few admit they’re wrong. I’m not sure what someone on benefits in a former Labour seat who voted Tory last month wants to hear. It’s not very likely “you got that wrong didn’t you bollockchops?”

The percentages are in a way irrelevant, Hilary Clinton also won the popular vote v Trump. Labour need to win seats, and they need to convince a sceptical northern England that they understand them. They also took Scotland for granted and have seen their support move en masse to the SNP. They’re in the last chance saloon. A possible disastrous half decade ahead might not help them too much either, people are so polarised now and there’s literally nobody changing their minds. The tories will keep telling them they were right to vote leave and right to vote Tory last month. I’ve no idea who among the Labour Party can counter that.

I’ve not turned in Went to bed at 2030, still awake at 4am. Worst attack of the heebee geebees for a long time. Was supposed to be up at 6 for a 70 mile 2 hour drive for a site visit in Devon. Got to stay awake till about 10ish tonight again, going to spend the afternoon trying to get rid of the mounds of recycling (bottles ) lying in the back yard...

I don’t know what the answer is but if Labour want to start winning back the Northern seats they lost last month I’d have thought someone not intrinsically tied to remain might be a good idea

A thought for the new year...

The club wanted to spend 40 million on an unproven foreign player no one else was in for far more than they wanted to keep Rafa. I think he left partly because this deal was happening and he couldn’t stop it. 40 million. That’s the key.

Do the preceding 11/12 years of Ashley’s tenure not bother you too much? I can assess results in isolation, that’s simple. The bigger picture is we’re no longer a sporting institution as such, we’re the marketing arm of sports direct.com. That’s why increasing numbers can take some solace from the drivel we’re served up. We don’t really exist as a club anymore. Rafa kept this point at bay for three seasons but it was always going to happen from the moment he left.

Deal more important than how good the player is...

He's just come back from a long term injury you thick cunt

Happy new year fellow cunts. I made everyone drink long Island iced teas last night hence I for one am still pissed

In tomorrow. Back in 7am Thursday 🙄

Any else at work today & or tomorrow? Or is it just sad sacks like me? 🤔 I see @Dr Gloom seems to be sat on his arse at home watching old films no doubt stuffing his face with quality street and a nice Waitrose cheese board

No you trust the people who got 92% of decisions correct. Then you get on with the game. You don't stand around at the match for ages wondering what the fuck is going on.

Don't put words into my mouth old son. Look at the thread I started when this was announced.

I get what you're saying but you'd still be getting pulled for your eyelash being ahead of the last defender. That's not what offside is about.

You use the linesman's eyes. Good enough for nearly 150 years.

No. We need less tech for offside, see KD's point 2. The current set is is completely against the spirit of the game. A different tech set up will just introduce a different set of problems.

Afraid not. We were informed that ADO have a special relationship with Swansea. A former ADO director theirs ended up on the board at Swansea. That was good enough for them...

1. Ditch VAR altogether for offside. And get refs to start using pitchside monitors for other decisions. At the moment it's how I suggested it would be, the referee's decision isn't final, it is literally being overruled. 2. Completely agree, most punters appear to understand this point but the half wits at the PGM or whatever theyre called have completely lost sight of this. 3. We've had the rub of the green, no doubt about it. The penalty Spurs didn't get at their place in August wouldve undoubtedly been awarded if it had been down to the ref.
