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?

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.

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

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…

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".

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

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

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.

Last day in Tuscany today. Fucking superb place. Ive got two canny bike rides in. Decided last week I would do a 160 ride today. Then yesterday saw the temp was 32 and decided to fuck that off 😂 got a nice 100km in though. What a stunning part of Italy. People are great, history and architecture is mind blowing. The scenery is something else and there is fanny of the highest level. Bellisimo.

That’s a Surprise.

WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN ALL WEEK? ABROAD ON HOLIDAY FFS?

It fucking sphinx and I couldn't cairo less.

I'm both, thank you very much - I shop in the husky child section.

Your dedication to this shithousing is nothing short of magnificent.

this is no slight on callum, who has been a superb servant, but i think we'd be mad to give him a new deal. i feel sorry for him because of all the injuries he's suffered but he hasn't looked the same player since coming back this time. the only way i see him being useful is if he's happy to be third choice. we need a better and more reliable rotation option for isak next season with all the extra fixtures.

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?

"My da sells more avon than your da, la"

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

I hope you put that bet on yesterday, Paddock"LAD".

A Spurs win might also keep Aussie Ardiles in a job.

Prediction alert!
