I used to go to a barbers when I was a kid who was the spitting double of Steve Wright - he was called Verne and was made by the long hair fad of the mid to late 70s.

Add in her arse and I have no worries whatsoever.

I remember Chez posting last time that he'd met loads of business men who I'm guessing aren't the more general nut jobs saying they'd vote for Trump no matter what his other policies were as long as he cut taxes. I think there's parallels there with Tory pensioners and the triple lock here.

Wasn't Clough born in Boro? I suppose his name is Irish and he could have ancestry there but don't get the "Came from Ireland and loved Clough" connection.

Murphy mildly fucked his calf in the warm-up so was unusable according to Eddie via Hope.

You would think it was a pen, wouldn't you Jamie? Cunt.

Fuck 0ff with this "penalties" shit.

Canny.

NE top dogs - when it's played and when they win it.

Almiron has been abysmal.

Anfield-esque added time.

Canny.

Canny.

Fucking Redknapp.

Valentine's season marra.

"They already do" - I'm hearing the bloke off the Royle family who does Gogglebox.

What do you mean by populist regarding Corbyn? Because he "played" Glastonbury and actually engaged with young voters rather than ignoring them like the rest? He had a cult following because he actually had/has principles and decent policies - yeah give me some shit about useless without power but we've had 45 years of the Thatcherite consensus and we're going to get another 20 years so excuse me for actually wanting something else. Let's have a beige policy-less manager who inspires nobody and nothing - much better for democracy.

I know it was down to May being shit as well but Corbyn was "getting there" by the 2017 election. That frightened too many people (including large number of Labour MPs and advisers as proved by Forde) so the bullshit was turned to 11 to ensure he lost in 2019. Of course he contributed to that himself but included in that exercise was the convenient "get brexit done" where Corbyn was fucked for trying to please both sides of the divide and instead pleasing neither. You could argue now people like Starmer deliberately pushed the second referendum as part of that campaign to fuck him as the "respect the result" position in 2017 was more popular generally. Now the same people who promoted a disaster knowing he'd be a disaster are allowing a "grown-up" to have a turn as long as he makes sure nothing changes in any meaningful way.

Well that rule that KD posted about fouls outside continuing into the box being pens doesn't apply at the African Cup of Nations because VAR have just awarded a free kick in the exact same circumstances as Burn's in the Nigeria vs South Africa game.

I love the way as soon as you suggest some reform, even as mild as making private/public schools pay vat, it's described as "class warfare" when that's exactly what they've been practicing successfully for centuries.

I assume Pritchard would have been on that list before he left...... for 100k.

Well her being there saved Starmer from agreeing with him as he would have done otherwise.

I think it was the European cup final of about 94 or so against Barcelona I think when Baresi was a late withdrawal so they moved Maldini to centre half and he was obscenely good in that game as they hammered Ronaldo etc al 4-0.

I'm surprised it's an incidental diagnosis found when he had his prostate treatment - I'd have thought he'd have a thorough check-up at least annually if not quarterly.

Related to Ian lavender (sort of) when we started going to London for matches by train in about 81 or 82, the first celebrity we ever saw was John Le Mesurier in the Cockney Pride near Picadilly. I think Pete Burns out of Dead or Alive (not a question mark any more) was the second.
