  1. The hold that this place seems to have on people who've been banned is really impressive tbh. LTA logging in still as well... I don't know about you gentlemen, but I think we should take this as a sign that we are in fact the intellectual, social and charisma champions that we all pretend we are..!
  2. Yeah for sure, he only failed us because we didn't win the league, right? Nothing about being relegated twice, pissing all over club history and icons, making the least competent management and executive decisions imaginable, ruining club commercial growth by simply not giving a single fuck about it beyond what could be gained by Sports Direct, and otherwise being completely focused on retaining premier league status as if it was some sort of an achievement to get as close to being relegated as you can without actually going down. That's what the vast majority of "non-delusional" clubs want, right???
  3. Was literally thinking to myself that all this ruling does is legitimise hatred. It has almost no meaningful impact on anyone's day to day life, but guarantees that the wrong people will be using it to hate others. JK Rowling will be delighted, I'm sure.
  4. Don't see us beating Villa annoyingly, but I think we can succeed against the others.
  5. To me he hasn't looked happy either - I think he was really enjoying being central to the club in the first couple of years of the takeover, scoring in big games, doing all the soft marketing stuff, getting on interviews etc. Now when I see him come on he just looks...low? At 27 he's arguably going into his best years as a midfielder, not sure he'd want to just be stuck on the bench with no real prospect of ever getting further than that.
  6. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/apr/15/liz-truss-to-launch-uncensored-social-network-to-counter-mainstream-media Liz Truss is going to launch a free speech social media platform
  7. I will say mind, if you look at their forums... they look like broken men. They've been humbled, at least a large part of their userbase anyway. The stupid thing about that club is that it was too arrogant to understand that it needed a few years in the wilderness in order to get anywhere near challenging again after Ferguson went. Say 5 years where they're just focusing on rebuild with a good manager, and they'd be back at the top table by now. Instead they've fucked around for a decade raging against the dying of the light, only to come to the same point they needed to ten years ago, but without any of the planning and clever management that it would require.
  8. https://www.irishtimes.com/politics/2025/04/15/briefings-suggest-eu-faces-choice-between-us-and-china/ So apparently one of the conditions for us to have tariffs dropped is we stop being friends with China I think they might have to get fucked on that one.
  9. Exactly, so what all this reveals is that attending a football match is... really just about supporting your team. Not protesting nation states, not endorsing them, not any of that - it's just about watching football. My issue in that post wasn't that I think they should boycott it, it's more that it should reveal to them why we don't.
  10. Huh? Palace have decided they have a rivalry with Brighton?? What was wrong with the other London teams?
  11. As an aside to the mackem sentiment there, I'm always amused by away fans protesting us like this (Palace had flags or banners previously?). As if they are going to do this sign thing but then pay money to a Saudi Arabian owned business for the sole purpose of watching their team play a game of football. It's a great example of why this whole outrage is manufactured tbh. If football fans felt so strongly about this situation, none of them would turn up to support their teams as away fans. And yet they all do, same as we support ours. Hell you could claim that if this was really so important to them they should be boycotting their home games against us too, since their engagement is a tacit endorsement of the regime.
  12. Can you please stop this? It's actually becoming really sad, in the genuine sense of the word.
  13. I always miss the good stuff...

    Eddie Howe

    He genuinely does not look comfortable in press conferences, agree there As for Howe, I'm sure he'll recover ok but that is a bit of a shock. Has to be that he just overworked? I don't even know how you catch it..
  15. Aye that same mate I just mentioned was furious with Tonali about his ban and kept harping on about how he was gonna have to pay us all back and how sure he was that we were being scammed by Milan Think he's finally forgiven him now.
  16. This should be 3 points but I don't think it'll be the hiding Manure got. Low scoring win.
  17. He's been great with a run in the team behind him. Goes to show mind, we were all writing him off not long ago
  18. Aye you have to love the guy. I hope he's here for his entire career at this evidence. I was asking a mate after the game who would be player of the season for us in a year like this, and we just couldn't come up with a clear favourite - so many of them have been that good. Probably Isak just for him emerging as world class, but I always feel like strikers get an easy job in terms of distinguishing themselves versus everyone else.
  19. I don't remember ever saying I was married? I have a partner, though not the same one as the last time you were around. Never been married though mate, too afraid of commitment..! Cliche as that is.
  20. I don't think this particular lesson stuck with people, if I'm honest with you
  21. Not sure there was a lot of overlap in our posting eras Cat, but the others talk about you fondly - nice to see you..!
  22. I'm wondering if Amorim played Bayindir today in order to show everyone why he has to play Onana next week. Of the two of them, Onana might well be better...
  23. This is a fair point tbh, we are starting to win the games we'd historically struggle with. It's noticeable now.
  24. I started out thinking I was going to say 'best we'd seen in ages' but then rememered the final
