He’s actually Swedish, you daft racist.

This is Renton's fault for feeding the algorithm.

I'm going to add that when I first joined here in my mid 20s, I was leaning toward all of this noise. I had my own insecurities from various childhood traumas that some of this anti-feminist/SJW stuff fed into and I found it quite validating at the time to see people push back against things that made me feel attacked. In the end it was actually Brexit that saved me from it tbh - that was the first time I really appreciated how many of these people were just straight up lying to me. Once the mask slipped I found I could suddenly see all of it for what it was, I went into therapy and properly dealt with my insecurity and the warped perspectives it could sometimes take me to. But I suspect it's that basic issue across a lot of people that makes this stuff so successful. It validates them when they feel attacked. Anyway, some of these guys ended up with huge platforms off the back of all of it, and several of them were amongst those exposed as having been on Russian payroll a year or so ago. I guess we don't know exactly when that started but even so, Russia either saw a huge opportunity in this or instigated it.

Fucking dweebs

The waiting room for the Yes Gemmill thread.

He just looks like he is passing it and it's an absolute rocket. Should see if we can sign this cunt ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool.

First, have you been properly diagnosed by the doctor? If you've had the more serious causes ruled out, you've probably got benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and/or overactive bladder syndrome (OAB), or possibly a hybrid of these. As Gemmill says, you can take an alpha blocker for the former. For OAB, I've worked on beta-3 agonist for this issue recently called vibegron. This or a similar drug called mirabegron are both effective for the condition. I tend to wake up once, around 5am, but I'm in the habit of drinking a pint of water before sleep because otherwise I feel dehydrated. But my bladder capacity is not what it once was. More a problem during the day tbh when I'm facing situations I can't get to the toilet. Then I just piss into a bottle and spray piss everywhere. Oh wait, no, that's MF, not me.

Considering this kid was into his last year of his contract and looked like he could be stalling for a free and other clubs would've been interested I never noticed anywhere near the same media noise around TAA as there was around Isak considering he had three years left on his contract and I'm guessing sky won't be celebrating the transfer of TAA like they would've done had the lobbying from some parties over Isak been fruitful.

Watched a compilation of all of his goals the other day. What struck me is that despite doing everything very quickly he never seems to be in a rush. His movement is never frantic or uncalculated, it seems so easy for him its incredible.

I think there’s little doubt that we’re looking at a world class footballer quite possibly at his peak. And he’s ours. Whether he leaves in the medium term isn’t that important tbh, the sums likely involved mean it’s inevitable iyam but the point is Eddie Howe & his team have helped make Alexander into a world class player at Newcastle United

A celebration befitting the level of opposition.

If they strip a penny from the wife I'll never vote for them again.

does 'lot' mean bunch of cunts?

Had a chat with my line manager this morning. I really feel for the bloke. He is clearly under immense stress at the moment and his very minimal support from above and below. A few weeks back I asked the MD if I could have a chat as I was concerned about my line manager. That never happened so it shows where he stands on the health of employees. For me, it's easy fixes that make a fuck tonne of difference. This company could be absolutely superb to work for, but the fish rots from the head as they say.

fuck off with your man utd shite.

In the evolution of this forum, this thread will soon be pinned.

Is there a more hated cunt than Michael Owen in football circles? Id still have Bruce over him The video of him as a full England international scoring goals against a 13 year old goalie and having to be chastised by Neville Southall says it all, let alone his Dubai video. Cant stand the cunt, but apart from that...

Dippers have started burning their TAA shirts what a fucking lot they are

You should offer to check it for her. @ewerkobvs.

Thing is, PSA has a high false positive rate, its not that straight forward. Look, we all know you're really after a finger up the bum so just make some stuff up about blood in your poo and the GP will advise.

We're the 6th biggest economy in the world. They have a fucking huge majority, they could do anything they want Austerity is a choice. Cutting public services and welfare and placing the burden on the shoulders of the poorest is a choice It's fucking disgusting and it's unforgivable

Enjoyed this little 25 second intro piss take. I haven't watched the rest of it btw, so don't blame me if you keep watching beyond my curated 25 seconds and it's shit.

Some of them like Kendall and Reeves just are tory vermin. People like Bridget have for so long used the "principles without power is pointless" line that power has become the only thing that matters. They're all now trapped in a view that anything goes in the pursuit of retention of that power. Thing is they could actually do some good AND have a better chance of retaining power if they had any ideas and the bravery to try them. Fuck them all.

I could not be a politician like. It HAS to be killing Bridget to be talking about stopping free school meals, and the stuff Rayvin posted above. At what point do you decide that you set out with an idealistic view that you would make positive change, but you're just doing Tory shit under a different banner, and maybe this isn't for you? Or do you have to just stay and pay the mortgage. This isn't a dig at Bridget btw, I just used her as an example, but I mean in general. Some of these people must want to murder Reeves.

Good. I'm sick of seeing the disabled rubbing their dignity in my face.

I’m only a Russian asset on my own time, seems legit

I've got the Lambrini Girls coming up in April The big one for me though is Edwyn Collins farewell tour in October If I only was able to listen to one artist for the rest of my life I would choose Edwyn without a seconds hesitation I've been obsessed with him since I saw Orange Juice supporting the Undertones in 1980. Pop genius in my opinion

If VVD and Salah follow suit, Liverpool are fucked next season. City are on the wane and if we have a big Summer I wouldn't put it past us having a push for the league

Right, so the easiest way to explain it from the mainstream point of view, is that it was a large group of male gamers attacking a female developer/other women out of misogyny. The media sticks to this line but it really doesn't do it justice. The gamergate group at the time claimed that it was about ethics in video games journalism and a protest against mass collusion of media outlets. It wasn't that - I mean that's a legitimate point even now, but that's not what this was about. The gamergaters explain their position per the following video - please note it's written for adolescent gamers and you may find the delivery annoying, but in terms of setting out the actual sequencing of events, it covers everything and explains how it became the culture war - be warned, you'll be amazed at how petty and insignificant the whole thing feels, at least from its origins: The short version is - a guy and a girl who were prominent in the gaming community broke up. The girl cheated on the guy. He wrote a blog post about how awful she was. A section of the gaming community said some mean things about her. She complained to gaming journalists/media people she was friends with - they all came together/colluded to attack the wider gaming community for being incels/misogynists. The wider gaming community lost its shit about being called out like that and the notion of "SJW" was defined for the first time and an organised resistance to it was created. This became a months long pitched battle that consumed a large percentage of gamers in some form or another, and as we now know, the anti-SJW side won. Because it's their ongoing narrative that now shapes the culture war even outside the online space. The whole pushback against wokeism is the same exact phenomenon, and has its roots in gamergate. Youtube became the key battleground and it's where lots of prominent content creators were set up to discuss these anti-feminists/anti-SJW talking points. Sargon of Akkad was a key one, he's still going and now runs a private media channel that supports Reform. Jordan Peterson could not have become prominent without this, in fact the movement adopted him more than he adopted it. The whole community leaned into and supported people like Joe Rogan, so he became aligned with those values. Shapiro is another one, but there were plenty of them. Not all of them still exist but they were the guys who did the original work laying the foundations for people like Andrew Tate. It's also why they dominate social media, because they've been doing this for 11 years now. Gamergate was the first battle we lost, and we lost it because when the real media picked it up, they went with the 'all gamers are incels' line and alienated a lot of people immediately. It never really stopped after that point, it just morphed into other things. The Alt Right came from it. MAGA. I think it probably even did enough to tip Brexit tbh (all the talking heads it spawned were anti-EU, all getting millions of views). I know it's stupid and ridiculous given what it was about, but... butterflies and hurricanes.

It might have been that same account, but there was one on Bluesky yesterday touting a swap deal for Isak with Nunez, with their "expert commentator" claiming that it would be "a good move for both clubs".

I wouldn't begrudge any of our players going to Real Madrid. I suspect the bin dippers see them as rivals though.

Have we had this one yet?

Seen people are referring to this cunt as whiskiLeaks online?

Aye, this too

Had it easy for too long IMO

Nah, he's fully down the rabbit hole. The video I posted this morning is a pretty good summary of what's happened to him. He was always a thick stoner idiot, but while he was just making dick jokes and talking about UFC, that was fine. But Covid basically broke him, and now he exists in his own universe in Austin, owns a comedy club, and has a set of idiot comedians that rely on him for their future careers. You're right that he's massively influential though. Which is the ultimate indictment of where we are as a species.

Yeah and he always kinda was, but the reality at the heart of it is that they are speaking to a genuine issue, just in a really unhelpful way. They would hold up the most extreme "woke" positions, suggest they were literally around the corner for lived reality, and then tear them apart. And on that stuff, they were right... but that stuff is like super fringe, really unrepresentative material. In the end my view was that both sides were extreme positions who needed each other to survive, and I think that remains the case even now. Trump is always harping on about the radical left, it's just that he's thrown that blanket over a lot more people than actually exist within it. I mean I didn't wake up from that and realise that the other side was right, I just woke up and realised that neither side were living in reality. Peterson for me at least was a difficult one because a lot of his psych stuff was genuinely helpful to me. I mean he's a wreck now anyway, all this has totaled him mentally. I don't actually think he was really one of the ringleaders or anything, just someone who tried to ride the wave and was consumed. The other seductive aspect to all this is the harnessing of a very real and very frustrated desire to just change the shit that we live in. I think that resonates for a lot of people - the right harnessed it, the left were beaten back.

Life is the waiting room for the Yes Gemmill thread. However, when Gemmill is the subject of it, the Universe will explode in an cataclysm of meta-irony.

Apparently that Rat Cunt Owen was on TalkSport saying similar

@PaddockLad https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/23/us/gamergate-harassment-reddit-twitter-cec/index.html I've long attached gamergate to modern culture war as the original flashpoint, but it dawns on me now that this was also most likely a Russian Psyop/the start of all this on their end too? It involved a lot of the people who at least eventually became funded through the right wing back channels on social media. Cadwalladr mentions 2014 being the start of the information war because of Crimea, but Gamergate was the same year and it literally did lay the foundations online for all of this. Nice to see CNN catching up there 11 years after the fact. Think I was onto that analysis around the first time Trump was elected...

Suspended sentence despite a long, well documented history of violence. Fucking joke.

A guy who has been a piece of shit for most of his life, has once again been confirmed to be a piece of shit. Whodathunk?

Europe spent 50 bllion supporting the yanks in Afghanistan.
