Gooners taking yesterday’s result well I see

who's this thick cunt here?

Arteta’s reaction to that Isak goal.

Years ago when I was a filthy student I was studying Human Geography, and one module was about social deprivation. We read papers on the Brazilian favelas, South African and Jamaican shanty towns, but one particular paper u remember was on the effects of social deprivation on adolescent mental health and development. I remember it because it was done in sunderland, the authors choosing there because of the short age gap between generations giving them multiple generations of adolescents to study Anyway, I found the paper online, the funniest parts are in the conclusions, specifically on page 450 and 477, which directly answer your questions as to why they do this en masse https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32540024/

Not a legend just a bloke who played for them for 5 years and captained them for most of that.. and had them challenging for the league again after they never got close for years Bet the cunt thinks we’re deluded too.

Drury's patter comparing Man U to a soap opera but their being more regulars in the Stretford end than the Rovers Return is, even by his standards, absolutely honking crack.

“ I live in a hole on a dirt road in Bulgaria. The other day, I was talking to a bloke at the local war memorial when he asked me about Seaham Tommy. Said he’d been a fan ever since seeing it on Netflix. We had a good half hour talk about how his local football team was set up by sunlin’ glass workers, which he didn’t know about, then I asked him what he thought about the war memorial in Poocastle. He spat on the ground. FTM Marras ”

Durham war memorials are the worst, marra.

Me : “you know who won the Tory leadership contest?” the now semi permanent Mrs PL: “oh god was it that woman who thinks maternity pay is too high or him who’s just a knob?”

The most pathetic part of that entire thing is "Other fans love us because..." The complete obsession with the need for external validation is beyond cringeworthy. I've not seen any 'group' do this in quite the way mackems do, both within football and outside of it. Or maybe it's just RTG, but either way it's extreme "pick me" energy, as the Zoomers would say.

What about those who thought the thread was puerile and irrelevant and point blank refused to lower themselves by actually voting?

Absolutely brilliant to beat that cunt Arteta and even better that he can’t create a conspiracy about it.

Lest we forget Started as a dig at the government about the bullshit propaganda which got all those poor buggers to volunteer to die in their thousands in the pals batallions. Yes servicemen should be cared for by their employers but that still comes down to is. Finally I would say a smaller percentage of squaddies are pricks compared to hgv drivers and fucking construction workers.

But we're STILL talking about our win yesterday man. Wibble.

But, but bandages

My take exactly, well said. If the state are going to employ people to go to war, the state should look after them when they're injured. Going further, this is why I don't like charity in general. I'm not comfortable with individuals having to donate money for what are often essential services like hospice care. I'd rather be taxed and for these organisations to have a steady predictable income stream without duplication (i.e. better efficiency). I want the money that's left in my pay packet to be spent on my own family without constantly being made to feel guilty.

I’ve seen a few British Legion “ads” where they’re explaining that monies raised are going towards caring for ex-service folk with disabilities, housing troubles etc. It definitely seemed like a deliberate shift in focus on their part, even though that’s been part of their efforts for a while. I have a strange sense of why I wore/wear a poppy on the 11th- it’s solely to remember the poor fuckers who had no option but to go to war because of conscription, and died as a result. I’m otherwise fairly anti-military tbh. Most ex-squaddies I’ve met have been insufferable pricks, and I have no time for the likes of Help for Heroes, since any service personnel injured at work should be the responsibility of their former employer ( who they chose to work for). I realise KCG might be mildly chafed by this, but hey, whaddya gonna do??? The entire “Lest We Forget” car/van sticker crew can get fucked with a rusty Lee Enfield

If he doesn’t like it then sell up. But the real point here is that once again the BBC are letting a spud muncher who doesn’t know his arse from his elbow on air to quote figures that aren’t remotely true. The truth is a married couple owning a farm together can split it in two, meaning it qualifies for £2m of agricultural property relief, plus another £500,000 for each partner if a property is involved. So in reality thick Paddy will end up paying zero inheritance tax. And even if he did have to pay anything it isn’t like it has to be paid up front, it can be paid over ten years. Now I don’t expect on air presenters to be experts on every subject they’re talking about but why not get a tax expert on to counter these falsehoods and allay the fears of the people affected?

Watching Kuenssberg for the first time in years and it hasn’t got any better. They’ve played a clip to Rachel Reeves of a young farmer complaining that they’ll have to pay £1 million in inheritance tax when her parents die and Kuenssberg makes it’s clear that this isn’t a rich farmer. Now by my fag packet calculations that farm has to be worth at least £8m in order to attract that sort of tax yet it is being presented as an attack on struggling farmers. Is there no basic fact checking on this show?

🤣

Oh yes, hulk smash…

Big Joe wears it on his chopper during matches. He says “hulk smash” to whoever he’s marking and jabs it in their back.

A most elegant sociological theory you are proposing there Dr Monkey's Fist. Nay, nay I say, this transcends theory and we can now consider it to be a law. The law of the fans of massive lads.

That is a top quality post and I applaud the commitment to it

Drury chucking his 'new era' hyperbole notes away he had prepared in case Man U won.

Van Nistelrooy getting into the Halloween fancy dress mood, and coming as Phil Spencer.

I didn’t even know Boris could play!

Funniest thing is, they're not even hated. They're just not noticed. Other than STID where they were an absolute laughing stock, but they lack the self awareness to see this. Are we liked or hated? Genuinely don't know and don't care. We're definitely noticed though.

High percentage of HGV drivers are ex-military* tbf, so I agree with KCG. * I never knew the SAS was such a large regiment in the past, tbh. 😉

Oof. Take that MF.

Fucking hell there's people in the ground at the end of a game

This is what they're talking about. 778k views in 12 years for that video. Doesn't seem a lot for such an iconic moment.

This re naming is one of the many reasons long time admirer is in my top 5 TT posters (current rosta only, obvs)

Shite

Resolution not great on that TV like. 1x2 pixels.

"Wypoopi" right now.

Getting away from the perma-comical MLF take on EVERYTHING I've thought for a long time about the remembrance fetishism. There was a pitch side bugler at arsenal last week and I'm thinking it's October? If it was remembrance weekend fair enough but when you're calculating when the last home game will be before RD and going back a fortnight to get your military personnel on the pitch are you overdoing it? Lest we forget? You can't forget something you've never witnessed. It needs scaling down a bit in my eyes and the original point of RD and the people who lost fathers, uncles, sons etc is now being a bit hijacked by the usual bull's clems.

It's almost as if it's a left wing budget where those with £millions in property/business owners are being asked to chip in a bit more towards the public sector rather than those on minimum wage . Fuck them all

The media should take some responsibility for rehabilitating this bloke's reputation by inviting him on as a commentator. He's a fucking wingnut and he should have been treated as such. "Not perfect". Fucking dickhead.

Okay

I’d get it if the statue was in Sunderland and not *checks notes* County Durham.

Woke trans mixed toilets are the worst thing ever

Absolutely fucking mental, mental gymnastics over the Seaham Tommy thing. Like they’re offended but they’ve no idea why. Let alone coming close to articulating why. As an aside, I fucking hate almost all of it at this point. Not Remembrance or the war memorials marking the fallen. Just everything else and how it’s really just hijacked racist/nationalist/ jingoistic bollocks. White vans with big spitfire/Tommy/poppy/lest we forget etc. on them. Lest we forget what? You ignorant fucking cunts

That's her fucking scuppered then Nostradamus
