Plainly, it’s not mine We do live on the edge of the start of the very posh bit of town though...a few years back Herman Hereidersson lived about a five minute walk away from here when he played for Portsmouth, at the first part of the very posh bit. There’s a pub between here & there, him and his “shield maiden” missus used to come in for a beer. She was captain of the Iceland women’s team. Nice folk. Used to see Darren Anderton in there too which always raised a laugh because we knew he’d given our mate’s sister in law a facial back in the day...5 points

Danny Baker made an off hand comment about NUFC fans being proper football fans would've been thinking 'here we go' when Leicester got one back with 10 mins to go followed by an MLF straight away jumping into it saying we're not proper fans as we've spent all year praying for Kashoggi's murderers to take us over. They're like a stale fart that won't just drift away aren't they? Anyone vaguely famous who comments on NUFC and they're like that fucking Mourinho gif where he's drinking a bottle in the dugout then leaps up and races out of the dugout towards the fourth official.4 points

They’re trying to compete with other clubs regarding ‘bigness’ because they cannot compete with us . Give them a bit slack mate 😀3 points

Completely agree As an aside, this has been an interesting discussion and I've enjoyed throwing views back and forth a bit - but I'm leaning towards essays again now which no one wants, so I'll step back for it a bit3 points

Always get Una Stubbs and Isla St Claire mixed up. One was Aunt Sally and the other on the generation game wasn't it? (Bizarre how this links in to a fight in the 80s via our game at Leicester in 2021).3 points

I once (along with others) got in to a ruck with some tottenham supporters in the swan at hammersmith post our cup game there in the mid 80s. caught in the crossfire of flying chairs was una stubbs, willie rushton and balderick out the blackadder. they left immediately looking suitably unimpressed. bit shit I know, but it's my only real football/celebrity claim to fame.3 points

Aye, the same unionists who helped sink her deal and brought Johnson over to their party conference and treated him like a king.2 points

Its not getting anywhere near the Windrush scandal/hostile environment policy her Home Office brought in. She could’ve had the paltry Brexit “deal” Johnson is lauded for 18 months before he “got it over the line” but she wouldn’t sell the unionists in N.I. down the river. Her successor did though.

Whenever they dive in a NUFC conversation with a 'famous' twitter account with the usual MLF crack which has fuck all to do with the subject they always come out looking like sad bastards and I always hope the famous person reads the replies as it'll kill them their Mag riposte has spectacularly backfired as they cling on to the notion that everyone loves them but hates the mags, marra.2 points

They’ve got fuck all to hang onto though because for the majority, their only metric for success is comparing their club with ours. They’re mostly in our shadow so they console themselves with ridiculous notions of being more ‘classy’, having special bonds with other fan bases (if they’re so fucking special - how come you have so many?) and somehow being truer supporters. So they jump down the necks of anyone challenging that.2 points

I just saw there’s a good chunk of them on RTG telling themselves they enjoyed watching the Maggie bastards win yesterday as it’ll wind the mags up as Steve Bruce is manager. I don’t understand how they’ve been football fans for years but cannot see how it’s possible to dislike a manager, and hope that he is removed from his position, while at the same time wanting that side to win, I’m not begrudging Bruce credit for the win, he’s still a fucking shite manager but the performance was good yesterday.2 points

It would be interesting to see what happened if Labour, the Lib Dem’s and the Greens got together on a PR / progressive ticket where they didn’t stand against each other. They probably wouldn’t even need whichever tawdry set of shitehawks Farage is championing. But I think it would need at least one more shoeing in a general election for Labour to even contemplate it.2 points

Aye, just because we’re a far better club than their fucking shite one doesn’t mean we should just be buzzing. In terms of PL era football their highest finish is 7th iirc, and their best managers have been Steve Bruce and Sam Allardyce, of course they’d swap places with us .2 points

Im neither but I refuse to endorse the venal lying wankers in power, with the emphasis on liars. It goes literally against the evidence of my own eyes and ears and I don’t think I’m letting any sort of cats out of bags by suggesting that if Johnson can absolutely shaft the unionist population of NI (THE most British of the Brits, like ever..) with the biggest con trick in UK political history then he and his chums will have no qualms about paying for the Covid & furlough debt from cuts to universal credit and the NHS . It’s coming, those in the former red wall towns are fucking lying to themselves. That’s their business, I’m not going to call them names but they are in for a very rude awakening. Good luck to all.2 points

And yet the places with the least immigration voted for Brexit, places packed full of immigrants like London voted Remain. Its difficult to reconcile that fact without concluding the working class as you put it aren't actually xenophobic isn't it?2 points

I'm struggling to believe those figures too. The large majority of healthcare worker I know have a visceral hatred of the tories and Jihnson/Hancock in particular. Also they are well aware the NHS rolled out the vaccine, other than procurement it has fuck all to do with government. I don't buy it.2 points

I don't think it's just the 'militant left' doing that tbh. It's also the centrist, remainer professionals. In fact, there are very few groups who aren't calling the Brexit wing these sorts of names. And honestly, it's because we've seen them on TV, heard the arguments. I recall the guy who said he'd be fine with his son losing his livelihood if it meant he got Brexit. Selfish cunt. I have heard all the people ringing in to speak to James O'Brian with their views on why this was necessary and being shot down over and over again. They aren't thick because of their views, they're thick because they refuse to process new information because they've transformed their political opinions into an identity. We aren't going to reach them if they now see all of this shit as an identity. And for me personally, I don't give a shit anymore about their feelings or the need to pussyfoot around them. They're not coming back to 'our side' so why pull punches? And you know, another thing in all of this that I've said before - how fucking pathetic do you have to be as a grown man or woman to cast your vote based on whether or not someone said a view you had was stupid. This is politics for 5 year olds. So anyone who voted Tory because they think that people on the Labour side view them with disdain is just an insecure moron. If they're voting Tory because that's what aligns with their views, then fair enough. This isn't going to come back together for Labour - and it's not because of Starmer, the left, Corbyn, Blair, whoever - it's because of Brexit. Irreconcilable differences across the country because of political gameplaying.2 points

Hilarious spelling errors aside what is their fucking obsession with being labeled the biggest in league one or the Championship (way back when they were in that)? Who fucking cares? They’ve won the square root of fuck all in donkeys years and are heading for potentially a 4th season in the third tier, what does it matter if they’re a “bigger club” than Bolton Wanderers their priorities and focuses are so bizarre.1 point

At halftime one makem made on he wasn’t aware of the score and asked if it would be worth his while watching the second half. Today they’ll all be asking their mates what the score was as none of them will admit to actually watching the game .1 point

May's government was considerably less corrupt, considerably more professional, and unbelievably, considerably more honest. Johnson is a populist and makes policies and decisions around that point alone. This makes him incredibly weak, reactionary, and devoid of any long term plan. It's a recipe for disaster that will need to be cleaned up by another, more professional and competent government 10-15 years from now, probably with yet another decade or two of austerity. But yes, they're more left wing than the previous ones so we get to see the occasional socialist leaning policy. The problem with it is that these policies do need to be part of an overall plan of reinvigoration and development of the country in general in order for them to work - not random acts of chaos.1 point

Immigration has negatively affected certain groups in society, absolutely no doubt about that. I remember speaking to taxi drivers about this from time to time (ironically), and they would tell me that immigration had pushed their wages down. Of course, once you dug in a bit more, it turned out that what had actually done it was the greater use of GPS and the council taking away the 'local area familiarity' tests, thus removing the barrier for entry for immigrants to take up taxi work. The taxi companies themselves naturally hired ever increasing numbers of drivers because it kept their costs down and ensured greater service availability. For me though, in that scenario, it's not the immigrants who are the problem. It's the local government policy to water down specialism, and the hiring firms who don't give a shit about their workers. Of course, as far as the taxi driver is concerned, stopping one of these is as good as stopping any. Although in reality, it'll still happen anyway because the UK still takes large immigration influxes from around the world, because it's in the interests of the rich to keep labour costs down. Brexit or not, their situation won't change. From a social standpoint, I really do think integration in this country for incoming immigrants has been an utter shambles. The point of bringing people into this country isn't to bundle them all together in specific areas so that you effectively have multiple different cultures living side by side in an uneasy standoff, it should be to bring people together so that cultures happily co-exist and can be shared with common bonds reinforced. We have failed at this, 100%. Because there's no votes in it, I would argue. Having said all of this, when Renton pulls out stats and research to highlight the positive good that immigration has brought about in this country, that is 100% unarguable unless someone has similar detailed research to the contrary. This is a level of debate that your average guy on the street rejects because he can't win it. He's all about his anecdotal evidence of things he thinks he has seen - ignoring the fact that he only sees what he wants to see (as do we all). But for anyone who does read and follow the stats, I mean what are we meant to do? Look at them and go "well, this here is well researched and ultimately is just the truth, but we can't really say it is because it will hurt the feelings of the working class man in the street"?1 point

And you’d still choose to vote for them even though you can see what they’re all about? Why? That’s the point. Why would you vote for posh gangsters hiding in plain sight? Fuckin why? Is it the flag worship that you like? The movement of borrowed public money into the back pockets of a tiny group of smirking wankers turns you on? There’s an alternative, it’s not great I’ll grant you but it’s there. Starmer is a poor opposition leader but I think he’d make a very good PM..he’s dull but honest. About as honest as politicians get.1 point
