Glue sniffing cunt 1:0 wyki

Jose Enrique: Ex-Liverpool and Newcastle defender given all clear by surgeons https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47942648 Nice to hear.

They spent over a decade building the cathedral in Mainz, then they illuminated it with torches for the day of its consecration and it burnt down. Tough old business.

I’m very staunchly atheist, but I totally understand people being upset by this. It’s not just some church, it’s a national symbol, not to mention that it’s an incredible building. Not believing in the Big Fellow doesn’t stop me being gobsmacked every time I walk in to Durham Cathedral, for example, and I’m sure if that went up in flames we’d be equally upset.

Sentimental wanker

Read on rtg that there's a billionaire waiting in the wings to make them his play thing after promotion, The Don mustn't have read the thread.

Some wank pot on 5 Live this morning tried making out the architects will know every dimension of the place. Get to fuck daft cunt. Architects stuggle with new builds let alone a survey on a place like that. That would cost hundreds of thousands. They were begging for money for a fucking masonry repair let alone a point cloud survey and dimension survey. Where the fuck do the Beeb find these glue sniffing cunts?

I’ve found the ‘prayer for Notre Dame’ thing doing the rounds on social media to be quite amusing. Apart from wondering what the fuck prayer is meant to achieve, surely ‘their god’ let this happen.

They are overplaying a bit and could genuinely be 4-1 up if they just had a couple of shots instead of passing

"Didn't he win the North Minehead by-election?"

Similar to the difference between a twat and an utter twat.

I think I'm in a real minority who really liked Solo. I just thought it was a really fun film.

Just for comparison. Portsmouth made a loss of £1.4m last season in League One with a wage bill of £5.8m. Sunderland have a wage bill of £14m. The parachute payments are the only thing keeping them afloat and they come to and end next season. That's when the shit is really going to hit the fan and their support is going to realise that what a chancer Stewart Donald is just before they go bust.

Aye, a £14m wage bill in League One is no problem but £18m in the Championship is a big issue?

They are spending £14m on wages in League One “It is likely Jack will still have quite a large part of his budget pre-spent, depending on what league we are in may give us more work to do or not.” said Donald. “Our starting wage bill for League One next season we have got about £14m-worth of contracted players. “Because of the clauses in their contracts, if we get promoted that’s £18m before we sign a player. That’s above our break-even point. “That is then a wider conversation on the options how do we potentially increase our budget, I don’t think we need that in League One, the parachute payments will be fine. “If we have £18m pre-spent in the Championship and that means we are running at a loss the challenge for us is going to be how do we give Jack more funds so that we can still wheel and deal in the market. “An £18m playing budget in the Championship, you’d expect to do quite well with that, there are some teams doing well in that. “In League One we are fine but having £18m pre-spent as you go in to the Championship would be an issue. “Teams that have gone up before with a budget of £6m or £7m, the biggest teams, we might be going up having £10m more than that already committed.” That certainly doesn’t sound as rosy as the mackems have been making out. Struggling to get promoted with a £14m wage spend, and the same shit players will have them immediately underwater in the Championship. I can’t believe they all love this bloke, have they not noticed the way he’s talking? Haven’t even went up yet and he’s already cutting their budget

Very interesting article, had never heard of the bloke and certainly not of the prince either. There must be a dozen Prince Abdullahs in Saudi. Equally interesting was this one: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/47830726 Somebody posted not long ago about how Emre, at 38, is still playing internationally for Turkey. Looks clear now why that is - he's been rimming Erdogan. Plays for and captains his pet team, rubs shoulders with him at his mate Turan's wedding, and makes the same ridiculous political gestures he does. In 2013, the Egyptian military overthrew President Morsi, and Erdogan made a huge deal about how corrupt the coup was, and how it had been orchestrated by Israel, and he went around at rallies making a four-fingered gesture that was supposed to represent support for Morsi, who was Egypt's fourth president. Emre was playing for Konyaspor at the time and made the same gesture after he scored. Any respect I had for the racist little cunt evaporated instantly. I was in Istanbul at the time, as it happens, and as soon as any Turk found out that I was Egyptian they immediately started giving me a load of bullshit about how great Morsi was (he was an awful president, an Islamist in the thinnest of disguises), how terrible it was that the military had intervened (Egypt would be Somalia by now if they hadn't) and how their great president Erdogan had "evidence" that Mossad was behind the coup, which he was going to present in parliament any day now (obviously there is no such evidence.) It used to do my head in listening to this crap, as if anyone with even the barest capacity to think critically could believe the lies Erdogan tells. Of course, FIFA takes no action as the sitting president blatantly interferes in football. Basaksehir is owned by the fucking Ministry of Sports. It is 100% a government institution. It's as if the Crown bought Leyton Orient and pumped hundreds of millions into getting them to the Premier League title, bending the rules along the way. They have an average attendance of 5000, for fuck's sake. The entire club is tainted top to bottom by association with Erdogan and AKP. Sorry for the rant but any thought of Turkey leaves an awful taste in my mouth now. For decades Turkey was the model to follow for secular Muslim-majority states. Now the entire government has pretty openly embraced Islamism and chucked the Kemalist mentality which has sustained Turkey for almost 100 years. The ruling party lost local elections in Istanbul for the first time in decades. The next day they started putting up posters declaring they'd won and thanking Istanbul for their support. They've already overturned 7 electoral losses in to a Kurdish opposition party. It seems all but certain that they will try to declare the Istanbul election was rigged (in fact, government sources have already been unofficially calling it "the most stained election in our democratic history.") The place has turned into a banana republic in just a few years, and it makes me sad.

Heck of a tale https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47258619

You'd have to be pretty tragic to be impressed by any of it, I agree
