Dreadful. Sorry Gemmill. It was good someone picked her up rather than you never knowing what happened to her. Our cat just disappeared one day.

Cheers lads, genuinely appreciate the kind words.

I mean tbh I'm not at all convinced Labour is ready to be having this conversation though. It feels to me, and has felt to me since Miliband, that Labour needs some sort of actual vision to be taking the country toward. I get that pragmatism is important but I don't think it can exist just on its own. We need to be going somewhere, and with Labour it's really poorly defined. It's all reactive stuff. Whether it's Starmer, Rayner, whoever... I just don't see who in the party has the first fucking idea where to take the country. There is leadership but no vision.

Possible anyway. I do take your point. Picking him and Corbyn doesn’t say a lot about the party in terms of being able to govern and take enough people along with you. With Corbyn it was the naivety from a media and foreign affairs pov. With Starmer it’s the complete lack of personality and any sense of standing for, well, anything

I can't believe Raynor or Phillipson etc share the beliefs of what is happening right now.

I think it's telling how little we're hearing from Rayner. I doubt this is how she saw things going.

Fuck sake mate, I'm sorry. Fucking shit news. You'll likely not forget her at least, she seemed to have some real personality to her.

Huh.. you all really think that's likely? Who would step into the breach? I don't think the issue is just Starmer at all, I think it's a party wide malaise.

And when you do that you appeal to nobody. I actually think there’s a decent chance he’s gone before the next general election at this rate

Didn't think you could reach. 🙂

Corbyn was challenged by the Blairites though, and Starmer is from their fold. He's since purged the party of the moderate left so we won't see any sort of challenge this term IMO. The immigration thing I don't have as much of an issue with tbh - I mean it's a nonsense issue in reality but it is a substantive issue in terms of narrative. More communication about what they're doing to tackle it isn't a bad thing - even if I saw very little detail about what all of this speech actually means in reality.

I thought he'd become welsh

I’m gutted to hear about your cat, Gemmill. Absolute sickener. Hope you’re both alright

And presumably had to pay a fortune to the other 2 who are definitely getting to the latter stages of their careers.

Liverpool let TAA, Van Dijk and Salah get down to the last three months of their contracts. Whatever way you look at it they dropped the ball big time.

This but also Arteta blames the ref/ball/weather/planetary alignment and then proclaims Arsenal to be the best team in the league, for all time.

He's not even good enough to warrant this level of fuss.

Is a bit of a scouse thing, look how Gordon was treated by Everton fans, and they made 40 million from him.

Liverpool didn't open contract negotiations with him with 2 years remaining on his contract like they had always done and he was expecting By the time they got round to talking to him his head had been turned

He’d get booed at most big clubs. Thats just a given. That is football supporters for you across the board. I completely support his wishes to change clubs too. The overall reaction to it from all sides is fuckin ridiculous though. I suppose that’s a given too..this is the tweet I was on about, for me it is 1000 x worse than the booing itself…

Wasn't the issue he deliberately ran his contract down so Real get him for free and presumably he gets paid a fortune? Anyone is free to ply their trade where they want, but I'd not be happy with say Isak leaving for free.

I can't imagine why Terence Trent Darby would want to move to Madrid. What's Madrid got that Liverpool hasn't?

We're all so wrapped up in Burley's cancer news that we've neglected to notice Wyki's very obvious stroke. CAN YOU SMELL TOAST?
