Renton

WHat the fuck is this shit? "Whore the lads?". You can see why this guy is on the big bucks. Worth every penny. Fucking hell man.

Careful Gemmill. Look suspicipously like a bad news story. * * I was searching for a fingers in ears gif and for some reason this came up which I liked better.

Knock on your tonight, it's MF. "Alreet HMHM. Is your missus in?"

Honestly, that thread about improving the SOL is hilarious (https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/investment-in-the-stadium.1601780/page-14). They are as deluded about that as they are about their league status and signing Dembele. I've been to every part of the the ground at SJP, attending hundreds of matches by now. Never noticed any problems with any of the toilets, ever. The toilets of the Platinum club and 1892 are up to the standard you would expect from the more premium end of the ticket scale. Their equivalent is the shitly named "Black Cats Bar" (referred to as BCB by this poster): I've some sympathy for that kid shitting on his seat now, I mean, you might as well.

And the follow up post to this. SJP only preferred over the stadium of shite (that's becoming a literal description btw) cos of the Saudis marra.

No, it really doesn't.

Let me help out Kevin here. No. No. No, and the "a" in SAFC stands for Association. Yes.

I'm running android and chrome on an S22 and no issues at all. This device gas 8Gb of RAM like.

A bit older by the sound of things, 10 and 11. Both got phones for their 10th birthday but they're iPhones which absolves me of responsibility on that front thank fuck. I just have to work out how to control their use of their android tablets and the eldest ones Windows laptop. She runs rings around me.

Last minute penalty to Southampton. Scores!

The bitterness has reached epic levels.

Exactly. With computers we can at least formally put this bias into the algorithms.

If you are keeping VAR, you could quite easily apply AI to the offside rule too. Computers can do this better than error prone humans.

I agree. And while we're at I'd simplify the offside rule so there has to be clear distance between the attacker and defender, to benefit the attacker. It's fucking ludicrous at the moment.

The recent wins had me thinking we have a chance of the CL again, or at least the Europa league. Apparently not.

Just out of my gig, seen the score, scrolling through this thread on my 306 home. Cheers Gems, I'll PM you about the gingerbread latte. 👍

Hey, I'm just posting facts. OECD facts. You can choose your own mood, Gemmil. 🖕

Yeah, I meant that even if you accept they have a plan similar to these clubs, and can somehow successfully implement it, that plan is not likely to be sustainable long-term given what Sunderland is. I think that mackem poster is correct in identifying that as as issue, he is wrong for thinking that's where they are at anyway. Further down that thread of course the mackem mutants are howling at the moon proclaiming how they are a much bigger club than those mentioned. They still think winning the league a few times two centuries ago means something. Brentford is in NW London, and as such is a bigger draw than Sunderland. Brighton is trendy and a seaside place people actually want to go to. Southampton is a proper city, not a shitty misnamed town. All are bigger clubs currently than Sunderland. All are a magnitude (at least richer) and more attractive propositions. You get the sense that the next tidal wave of despair is going to hit SAFC soon. They are in danger of ending up a yo yo club again, only this time between the second anfd third tiers.

He's one of my favourite players to watch now like. Him and Bruno together, bossing the midfield, constantly harassing the opposition when they're in posession. Must admit I thought he was pure shite when he first came here. If he could just shoot a bit better, he would be absolute top level.

Not particularly, think you'll find nearly everything I post is from, or has been flagged by, MSM. I pretty much read the whole Guardian feed every day and any rabbit holes that might take me on, then sometimes post them on here. I never use twitter directly. There's also the usual podcasts I listen too - OGWN, New statesman, News Agents etc. I never intentionally want to make myself angry, it jusy happens organically! But outside of that my interests are mainly scientific which I don't discuss on here because in that respect you're all thick as pigshit, no offence like. I mean yesterday I was reading about "strange stars" which are made of elemental quarks which I found quite mind blowing. These things are in between being a neutron star and a black hole. That's kind of my solace, that ultimately none of this shit matters, which we touched on the other week I think. Nature is indifferent, and amazing.

It's an interesting point. I think a lot is down to personality type. I'm just hardwired to want to know - and understand - the truth of the situation I'm in. But I'm not motivated to act on the knowledge because, well, as you say, what can you do. For me personally, I find accepting my psychology makes things a bit easier. Others are hardwired to blisfully ignorant. These are usually happier people and I am somewhat jealous of them tbh. CT is a classic example, on the surface, anyway. I wonder though, if you had incurable terminal cancer, would you want to know, or would you prefer to live without the knowledge? If you could believe in God and heaven, would you? I also wonder how sincere your denials of interest are, as you're on this thread after all. And back to the point of my post, people deserve to be told the truth about where we are heading economically.

I get your point, I really do. Although this is from a link from the Guardian feed tbh, and I do use OECD data a fair bit in my day job as well so it's hard for me to ignore. It's just that the forecasts for the UK are so spectacularly bad, so obviously FUCKING BREXIT, but as a country we STILL won't acknowledge it and I FUCKING CAN'T STAND THE CUNTS FACILITATING THIS and who continue to do so. Just fucking admit the problems Hunt you cunt, then maybe we can begin to act postively on them. Instead of gaslighting us with shot about being able to freeze the duty on draught beer ffs. But if you just ignore this, is just a tacit acceptance that's just how it is, and you're just going to meekly accept the country's decline and the impact that's going to have on your kids? I feel that's where we are at the minute and that doesn't make me happy either tbh.

I know I am preaching to the choir here, and please feel free to tell me to shut up, but ffs, look at today's OECD's data they have just published. Hunt is already on gaslighting duties of course. "You can only trust the tories with the economy". What a mess we're in.
