You’ve been sportswashed, marra. Next you’ll be trying to tell us the Guggenheim is better than the national glass centre was

Like clockwork

Apart from the pens a decent keeper saves almost all of those too

I’ve wondered for a while if Trippier could play there with Tino at RB. Lacks the physical presence (as does Bruno though) but has all the other attributes. Probably not something we’re likely to see happen with all the other options in midfield when everyone’s fit

Amy Winehouse: The Day She Came To Dingle on iPlayer is quality. Footage of her brilliant acoustic performance there plus talking about her influences with some class archive footage 👍🏻

That Basque local historian they constantly make reference to as well. Their name only comes up in relation to this and their collective ‘research’. I mean I could say I’m a local historian but it’s not really got much credibility without the academic background, published works etc to back it up. That article about it too, ie the ‘big reveal’. Where it kept saying stuff like ‘ it is said…’, ‘it is believed…’, ‘it could be…’ and so on. By who? Apart from them. Absolutely fucking weird. Not as weird as claiming Bilbao is like Sunderland however

Was it decided by AV?

Who does he think are the people responsible for Labour having as many seats as they’ve currently got after they managed to alienate so much of their traditional supporters last time round?

People like you give me hope for the future. You might not feel that way yourself but you’re idealistic in a good way and well informed. Young people like that are likely to make things change. It’s the ones obsessed with what Joey Essex is up to that are the problem tbh. Not that it’s exclusively young people like. Once you’re an old cunt like me you tend to get less upset about things outside your control for the sake of your own sanity, that’s all.

Strongly predicted to lose his seat to the Labour candidate apparently

Also, if you look at recent voter migration polling figures. Labour, as well as having a large net gain overall (compared to 2019), have a net gain of voters from the Lib Dems. Labour lose some voters to the Greens but that gain from 2019 Lib Dem voters more than outweighs this. Also I don’t see where the article is coming from. It’s fucking obvious Labour won’t gain as many seats if the poll lead narrows significantly but the article just talks about if that happens. There’s no reason to think it will. The polls haven’t budged much in ages. Obviously there are outliers within that but not in terms of general trends. Gaza, rightly or wrongly, will probably become less of an issue too. More importantly (from a GE result point of view) there’s absolutely nothing to suggest that things are going to improve for the government or the PM. Tories don’t even like the latter

That’s definitely cherry-picking by the Guardian imo. If you look at Electoral Calculus then the Bristol one is predicted to be (one of two seats) won by the Greens and Sheffield Hallam is looking likely to become a Lib Dem seat (it has been previously - it was Nick Clegg’s seat at one point). That’s part of the same MRP polling model they use (updated end of March) which also suggests it’s going to be a 266 Labour majority, even taking those two seats into account.

You usually get called by them from birth or thereabouts 👍🏻

He’s as miserable as Lawrenson but he’s at least a bit more clued up / does his homework more than Owen. Which, admittedly, isn’t saying much. It is, after all, their very well remunerated job.

He was just waving back at Ballard

That was a brilliant challenge in the same way his mate Ballard had a blinder when they played against us

Is it Wolf Jerky?

I bet adidas are fucking foaming

He’s another one who’ll lose his seat at the next election going off the current polls. He’ll probably just do fuck all until the election

One of his problems is he’s still the journalist he was at the journal. I.e. very sympathetic to whoever happens to be spoon feeding him info from within the club. I suspect he was matey with Dyer, he definitely was with Bruce and you’ve seen it more recently with him putting out the party line re: transfer budgets. Obviously gets him some exclusives but doesn’t do a lot for the credibility of someone writing for a national broadsheet

Leicester losing to Millwall though. Does anyone want to win the championship?

Southgate will spoil it for you

I thought they were MASSIVE
