The Hope and Wanker

"Time gentlemen, please! See your drinks off!" Fish: "But I've only just walked into your establishment, ordered my Pimm's with tonic and a slice of lemon cut just a little thicker, the place is empty and it's only quarter past eight?" "Right! You're barred. Get out!"

The Hope and Gemmill Sounds like the shittest pub ever.

You're barred, dickhead.

The mackem Renton.

One other thing though - Reform vs the Tories. It's like in movies when the villain creates some feral, demonic evil to do its bidding, but then in a moment of poetic justice is consumed by said evil at the end, as it fails to control it. The Tories tried to avoid a minor splintering with Brexit, and instead have been eaten alive, fully torn apart, by the very thing their complacent, ignorant, wanton stupidity created. And it's no more than the pack of traitorous quislings deserve.

I think your first mistake here is taking the likes of Craig Hope and Gemmill at face value. We can all have a nice quiet summer break if we stop tying ourselves in knots about who we might sign and completely blanking that pair of fuckin charlatans is a good first step, they’re no good for us really....although tbf going into any sort of European campaign without a striker who offers something a bit different to what we have eg Jonathon David at Lille or even Metata from Palace would be fuckin nuts tbh

That’s actually the most interesting story which may well have happened I have ever seen on there.

this is football heritage

I thought at 56 I’d be in the upper age bracket at Damage. No chance, I’m virtually a teenager! You would not believe some of the creaky old fuckers driving these behemoths around. There’s one toothless owld Scotch lad who is the absolute double of Ramses II

Again? FFS

Your territory tbf.

Graphs probably. Who brings a fucking flip chart to the sesh?

The daughters and their mates have sometimes went down to the coast with their mates when it's been nice weather for an evening on the beach. They probably had a little drink, they lit some small fire for the anniversary of their friends death by suicide, they all work. None of them live at the coast though so should probably have went somewhere rough just like we all do if we want a break or go on a holiday. We live in a society full of cunts and people who probably ok but not bright enough to not be hoodwinked by the likes of Farage. The young are the ones being shafted by and large and the thick ones now will be the thick ones in middle age. It's just what this country is, haves, have nots, thick cunts, reasonably intelligent people and a media and social media poisoning the well in an ever more opaque way.

I get the general sentiment but haven’t people always been cunts when the suns out? The only thing that has changed is we have gotten older.

Aye. I find the national pride lot take the least pride in their nation. Zero respect for anyone else who enters their sphere. I know Renton gets stick for being a grumpy old man but it’s no coincidence you get the sort of behaviour he’s on about in places the charvas can easily access. You can’t even use the metro through the day on a weekday without encountering pissed / whatever charvas just generally being cunts if it’s a warm sunny day.

100% Spurs. Mainly for the apoplectic meltdown that Ange with have saying "I told you so" to anyone within earshot. He may hold a press conference and go around offering to fight each and every cunt in the room the brass-necked galoot.

it's how i roll

As the Earth orbits the Sun at a greater speed than the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft travel, it means that there is a period each year, when their distance from the Earth is actually decreasing. Even though the annual mean distance from us increases all the time. There’s a similar thing happens with the average age on here every time Quiff signs up

Where’s the party kids?

I’ve seen teams celebrate throw-ins more than that lot celebrate trophies

we're obviously not in the market for a RW though.

I am prepared to admit that Willock needs a run of games mind, after what we saw from Barnes when he got the same.

His tragicness is old enough to drive.

That's the Yorkshire stream for you... days behind.

Bilbao to win leg 2 and then the final, setting up a fairytale reunion with us in the Champions Leaygue strengthening our bond and basque in the inevitable tears from Mordor 😀

Mate, the Americans elected Donald Trump twice. Farage absolutely is electable to the Great British public. We can pretend that us and the Americans think differently but the vast majority of fuckwits do not. I had to tell people at work yesterday, who went out to vote Reform, that they were only local elections and not a general one ffs. These people will go out in force when the election rolls around and vote for Reform whenever Farage tells them to. They believe him and he has the media in his hands. It’s fucking dangerous and people need to realise. He’s practically fucking Teflon

Labour need to worry the shit out of those who voted for them last time rather than Tory or Lib Dem about his links with Trump and his stated ambition to abolish the NHS. Probably enough for a vastly reduced majority. Carney in Canada shows the effect of a galvanising enemy. How the fuck would anyone over 40 with a pre existing condition get adequate and affordable health cover even through their employers is the first question I’d start asking. That should kill him dead outside of his base…

Gloomy looking to see where he can purchase the tickets for the kids ad hoc 'shall we go to the beach' event messaged amongst themselves on Instagram or whatever ..... When he gives up looking and just goes there anyway.....

Just cos you like heading down there on your skateboard.

young people having fun in the sun? NOT IN MY BACKYARD!

The fuck did I do to get dragged into this bullshit?

University of Liverpool clearly pissy about Gary Neville's comment that he'd never felt Wembley shake when Dan Burn scored .... against Liverpool.

I honestly expected Reform to win it by more (and Betfair had it as a comfortable win too) - an easy opportunity to give an unpopular government and opposition a kicking and a departing MP who got done for assault. If he'd just quietly died instead then I reckon Labour would have won it handily enough. Doesn't make it any more pleasant having a crowing Farage all over the media this morning though. I know looks shouldn't matter in politics but I don't understand how anyone can look at his face and think "seems nice, definitely not a terrible cunt".

Motherfucker, it's SHEER. Ten years of Shearer pun headlines has ruined you.

It would be wall to wall flange with me and Hope behind the bar.

Speaking of charvers. Just been out with the dog at Weetslade and there's a bin next to a bunch of picnic tables. Mess all around the bin - it's not even full - and a couple of disposable barbecues lying next to the bin, empty cans, Asda bags, etc. Fucking tramps in the sunshine.

Was the camouflage beige? Also, the best they could manage was a trawler.

There’s your answer. Take any, random, harmless activity and add fucking skip rats to it and it becomes a blight on society. Little cunts

You are such an old woman

Can't be overstated how fucking outrageous it is that one of those two appalling sides are getting to play in Europe's Premier competition next season. They've been, by every measure, awful. Still rather Spurs won the whole thing though. The less money Rolling into Old Trafford, the more batshit decisions Sir Jim will make.

Spurs 100%. I dislike spurs but I HATE man u. Also itll be funny as fuck if ange does in fact win a trophy as he promised and then fucks off anyway after the season theyve had.

Pandering to the red wall voter has been a complete shambles post-Brexit, it doesn't work and has only cost them support amongst the people who would more naturally vote for them anyway. I want to vote for Labour, I do, why am I being repelled in order to win people who aren't listening anyway? Beyond that, the most convincing messaging you can give any public is one that is based on what you actually believe in. We did have a moment when Labour won the GE to actually put the country back on the rails with compassionate left leaning governance - and we've squandered that for absolutely nothing. I do not believe Keir Starmer is a right winger or a closet Tory, but I do know that what he is instead is too weak to stand up for what he believes in. He is a missed opportunity, and in my eyes what we know about him now was apparent immediately after he won the leadership and U turned on everything he had promised. He is not pragmatic (in a political sense) because he doesn't have the skill required to be such - if he were, he'd be bringing people with him by deftly navigating policy positions to appeal to everyone. In reality it seems we're doing almost the complete opposite of that. The people still with Labour now will be those who are terrified of Reform or the Tories winning. What I'm fairly sure they will not be, are people who have a heartfelt belief in Labour's political offering - because really, Labour don't even have that themselves.

Don’t you actually want to go to the Hope and Gemmill?

Maybe, just maybe, trying to appeal to Reform voters isn’t the way forward for Labour

Every cloud….
