Renton

This is classic expectation management. It's as blatant as a mackem saying they weren't ready for promotion. Now, I tell you what I do shall I? I tell myself it's only football, it's only a game where overpaid athletes are paid to kick a bit of plastic around the pitch, a bit of fun in my spare time. There are much more important things in life, my job, my family, the future of the planet. And deep down, I know that's not true either.

The image he wants to portray. The reality.

Well I never. Just looked it up and he was from Morcambe! The mad bastard.

Line and sinker.

I'm going to get a stern tut from HMHM but I really wanted Boro to go up. Always got on okay with smoggies and a bit of regional rivalry, with us with the whip hand, would be canny. Luton, naah, they can get fucked. Ditto Coventry. Only good thing to come out of those towns besides mass produced cars is Eric Morcambe in the former and Terry Hall in the latter. From memory we used to batter Coventry in the PL like.

Apparently it's all part of The Project. The only place on the internet that discusses this project is the SMB. From what I can gather, it means investing in the academy or players from the lower leagues, letting the players develop a bit, and selling them if they are any good, then getting all your best players on loan from PL clubs and not buying them, and then rinse and repeat. And a mandatory manager change of once a season, although two or three changes is preferred. Then somehow you are challenging in the upper midtable premier league like Brighton, without actually being there. Or something?

I get no satisfaction knowing the traitors have no accountability and have bailed on the UK after fucking it. Just hatred I'm afraid. I don't know a single person who supported Brexit in real life btw, excepting some neighbours (possibly). Not one. But we're all suffering the consequences regardless.

Yeah, it's fairly close imo. Mowbray has the look of an old ugly Odo from Deep Space Nine about him I reckon (nerd, I know) Tony Mowbray Odo from Deep Space Nine

It's pyrrhic thoughisn't it? UK car industry employs 800,000 people. Once that goes its gone, it'll never come back. How can the country survive loss of industry on that scale. It happened in Australia in an incredibly short space of time. But Australia is a countryof vast resoucres and low population. I genuinely believe people are waking upnow. But its already too late.

This is pretty serious. Our car industry is under existential threat from Brexit, starting in January.

I heard that this Kevin Louise Dreyfus kid is going to be their next manager because his mam will stop his pocket money if he doesn't get a job or tidy his room. 🤷‍♂️ But yeah, this is fucking mental. He may be the ugliest man in football, but he did a great job getting this lot to the play offs and is well liked and respected. I did think he would struggle next year for a variety of reasons, but it's highly unlikely a replacement will do better imo.

It's 7 now isn't it?

I was trying to work out where they are on the mackem boom bust cycle but it doesn't work without derbies. But yeah, if they lose Diallo and that Leeds player and Stewart isn't really as good as Drogba then they might get off to a bad start, in which case as you say Mowbray won't make Xmas. Normal service resumes.

Any money left over donate to the RSPB.

Greatly increases the chance of a pen shoot out and more mackem hilarity and japes I guess.

I don't know how these things are decided but I guess if it's not a direct CoI with one of the teams playing it's pretty difficult to manage.

It's not on record. But he's not Norwegian so maybe not?

It's been a bit more porous certainly but if you break it down goal by goal I don't think its time to panic yet by COMPLETELY CHANGING THE FORMATION WE PLAY. In Eddie I trust, In Fish not so much.

And either way, changing the best defence in the league (unforced) just before the last three crucial games of the season is..... well, what would you say?

Pump him full of morphine, cocaine, and steroids. By the time the doping charges come, we'll be clear in third.

You've got Trippier there as a left wingback and Targett as a right wingback? Interesting..... Unless you've completely inverted this and gone for Isak and WIlson as our centre backs, with Botman, Schar, and Burn providing the firepower up front? Genius. I can't understand why you're not a professional football manager tbh.

Rocco Forte, the hotelier that kept telling us how bad the EU was during the time of the referendum (and the father of that stupid bint the hotel inspector), now is moving to Italy because the UK is in decline he says. This really FUCKS ME OFF. These cunts, like Farage, who inflicted this on us, have zero accountability and just fuck off to leave normal people like us no option but endure the consequences. No retirement for me in France now thanks to cunts like this (probably always a pipedream but dfinitely is now). No EU opportunities for my kids. Just left to decline in a nation getting overtaken by every Eastern European country going. I KNOW I'm not supposed to get angry about it, it does no good and is not good for me. But sorry, I just can't help it. They make me feel murderous.

The tide is definitely turning now on Brexit when evern their cheer leaders admit it has failed. Although this is of course because its not the right kind of Brexit. If only we had done it my way (he mentions corporation tax but I don't even think that's an EU competency, not that Derbyshire will challenge it as its not on her script). This shit is not going away as our country gets poorer and poorer and the cause of this becomes ever more obvious.

Piss poor attempt that. Leeds not relegated, Big Samathon wankfest incoming.
