I only have one month left to finish my job at the high school where I've been a teacher for the past two years. Yesterday my students gave me a gift.

Man City are running a flawless media campagin prior to the 115 charges coming to a head. They've shown once that the PL administrators are incompetent at the very least if not outright corrupt. Moreover, once the self-governing aspects are included it's shown that the PL operates a system that absolutely protects the interests of certain clubs with grandfathered wealth against "new money" clubs for no reason outside of a "we were here first" clause. And now City are gonna show them up again because they'll win again. Because nothing has changed. They're in effect poisoning the well but doing so not through dishonesty or underhandedness. They're simply shining a light on how the PL works for certain clubs and against others. Theyre merely using the truth. What a refreshingly novel idea. Any negative result for them from the 115 charges is ready to be framed as a continuation of a systematic attempt to maintain a certain order to things to their detriment. And, in so many ways, they're 100% right. Gotta say, it's genius. I love it. And aside from it potentially benefiting us as the other new money upstart, I would love it anyway because fuck Arsenal, Chelsea, ManU, and the others thinking they have a divine right to win silverware.* And fuck their lickspittle helpers too. *not that it's really about silverware for the yanks. It's about "franchises" acting as vehicles for wealth generation and ego boosts for nutcases. Just more capitalist psychopath gear really at the end of the day.

The fact Maddison joined them so he can live in London and his lass has better photos for Instagram sums up the type of club they’ve been for as long as I can remember

I signed up to LinkedIn to read my gaffers profile, screenshot all the stupidity so I could post it in the work group chat and deleted my account.

“The interview you’ve all been waiting for/never thought you’d see” etc etc 😏 https://archive.is/4fg99

Well they play to his strengths. As AH pointed out we signed him because we were desperate and were aware of the release clause. He couldn’t really play in the system Howe wanted to play because of his lack of mobility. Even then we got good money for him. I’m more pleased for him than annoyed because he seems like a good lad. I think he’s having a purple patch though

I preferred fuckin smoke signals compared with a platform that let malevolent cunts prey on the easily led….

I hope Trump ruins this cunt… obviously he’ll always be hugely wealthy in a personal sense but I hope Meta financially sinks without fuckin trace…

Stefan Borson's take on Chelsea https://stefanborson.substack.com/p/explained-how-chelsea-finally-killed?triedRedirect=true

Maybe we should do whatever the fuck we want as well and just have talks with uefa about a payoff?

“It’s really hard being a single mam with fake hair, tits and teeth and working full time as a ‘talent acquisition expert’. Anyway here is a picture of me in Dubai with my chebs out. Please note, my kid was with his grandparents and I was getting my back blown out by a sheik with a Porsche. Happy Monday guys!”

I never go on LinkedIn but the rare times I fire it up it's just people embarrassing themselves by being enthusiastic about their job or their employer. That is just as weird as fuck to me.

Comes across as a good lad who loves winding people up. What's not to like.

I’ve got a mate who was a canny mellow, middle of the road type who has a nice house, nice family, good job and no financial worries who now regularly posts pro reform stuff on Facebook. It’s depressing as fuck. I do think removing yourself from the platform altogether is probably the best way forward like. Because none of Instagram / facebook / twitter has been a forum for genuine discussion for ages, if it ever really was.

Are we sure its not an accounting error and should in fact be £200?

nah, fuck him. he was beyond shite for us. plays for the scabs. they're direct rivals for a cl spot. hope he's out for the rest of the season.

Wood did his job as far as giving us a focal point during our relegation fight tbf. He was a stop gap and it worked. Targett is probably the only one I’d say hasn’t worked but even then, we were making a successful loan move permanent so it looked like a no-brainer. Fucking mental that we even made an instant profit on Kelly

I think HMHM was being sarcastic because we wouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. Our approach is far more sustainable and has also produced incredible results. I get the impatience because I’m no spring chicken but I don’t think pulling the sort of shit Chelsea are doing would be beneficial in the long run. It absolutely fucking stinks what Chelsea are being permitted to do though

LinkedIn has been a home of bullshit and dick waving for years. 'on the way to work this morning my 2 year old said to me, daddy we are so fortunate to have you and I feel I should give my pocket money to homeless people' Aye fuck. Off.

Trump is snatching people up off the street and deporting them. And when it's pointed out that they're deporting innocent people, they're shrugging their shoulders and saying it's tough. And he still has a good approval rating when it comes to how he's handling deportations. Eventually you just have to conclude that America is populated by quite a few very shitty people.

Social media was a mistake. I don't even fucking use most of it anymore unless discord and WhatsApp count. All the rest of it is to me is a radicalisation platform.

Did you prefer MySpace?

Nice one Diego, that's class.

Where’s that sweet Caroline cunt when you need him?

Forest running 15 points ahead of their expected points. We're running almost 6 points ahead, but Forest are having a breakout season that is driven massively by short term positive variance.

Finally took delivery of the Home shirt I ordered just after we won the cup. I think that is the first bit of money I have put into the club since Keegan left.

PreDICKSPLASH!

are you predicting forest are already champions league bound?? ANSWER THE QUESTION BRITTLE BONES.

Well let's hope so DICKSPLASH!

Man United v Man City tomorrow and Liverpool are playing so they'll be keeping Carragher and Neville on ice for the derby that doesn't matter anymore.

I’m absolutely shocked that Anthony Taylor was the ref in the shambolic Palace vs Brighton game. Shocked

Hey, I don't even drive a Tesla.

I watched Clery's vid on Spurs and he's got a few ideas about why they've become so poor. On some of the stats they're a top 5 team but they let themselves down with decision making in the final third (not in a general sense, more specific to the style Ange wants them to play). They also get countered on a lot when they lose possession which in turn leads to the whole team needing to sprint back multiple times per game - this leads to injuries which makes the poor decision making in attack more pronounced as rhythms between players can't be achieved. I don't know if it's true but it was interesting to listen to.

What are you talking about? The rules as they currently stand are the rules because a two thirds majority of the league voted to make them that way. You've literally had AT LEAST 14 clubs voting to preserve the sanctity of the big 6 for YEARS. Given that, it's hardly a preposterous notion to think that owners of the same nationality might work together. Especially when 4 of them are IN the big 6. You only need another 3 teams to block every vote.

Chelsea sold their women's team for near enough £200m (effectively to themselves, because obviously noone legitimate is paying £200m for a team whose average attendance just tips 10,000). Ashley sold us for £305m. There's taking the piss and then there's 'selling' your women's team to yourself for £200m. Take a bow Chelsea for managing to consistently one up your own dodginess.

We have the mad Danish bastard, but Howe would rather put Wilson up top despite him running like he has two brand new prosthetic legs and scabs on the stumps.

Trump's horseshit could be good cover for them to rip up the ridiculously restrictive rules they've foolishly stuck to so far.

OK then just for you, Captain Breadstick! Forest are NAILED ON for the CL.

I’ve been on LinkedIn lately looking at jobs and apart from the recruiters with their tits hanging out it’s all just pro-Trump / Farage propaganda. LinkedIn is meant to be a place for educated professionals and it’s just an extension of all other social media now. If it wasn’t the best place for job adverts I’d delete my account.

PSR has been in place a lot longer than the rule changes they made in 2021 which were aimed specifically at NUFC, and have also affected Man City. And it was always designed (or at least had the effect of) protecting the top 6, and 2/3 of the division has consistently voted in favour.

Ipswich will go down but sheffield united, leeds and burnley (current top 3 in the championship) all are. Thing is that it would require american billionaires to work together and Im not sure theyre capable of that.

Too feckin right
