if you’re going to try and be clever you should probably read stuff properly before replying

Sportswashing is meaningless as a term. Often demonstrated when it’s used as a reply to a completely factually accurate post inon social media 👍🏻

A Woman of (no) Substance

I think there’s two slightly different things here. Gloom works in the sector and he said organisations like the Telegraph will have strict guidelines in place re: their journalists and social media. And that the sort of slanging matches he got into on Twitter would’ve contravened them. And likely resulted in warnings and potential disciplinary action. If we take that to be true, he still couldn’t help himself. If you’re in his position and you’re straying into career threatening behaviour then that’s pretty fucking odd imo. With the £50m budget stuff, you might be giving him too much credit in terms of his knowing it was shite. Either way though, it was clearly info fed by the club for the club’s benefit. Whilst that doesn’t make him seem that credible to me, it’s at least the the sort of stuff driving traffic to the Telegraph and an article he’s written. Much more normal and very much part of his job.

So he’s not pretending to be a misunderstood intellectual any more then? I think we got about one decent season out of him. Serves the previous owner right like as we only went for him because he was available relatively cheaply thanks to his behaviour at Man City. Mind, the quoting of Morrissey makes sense now

They’re not arsed about other countries knowing about their methods of execution and how often they do it

In the Toon performing ‘Money’

Edwards was alright before he allied himself too close to Bruce then went a bit nuts during covid about the takeover. He’s never quite stopped himself from being at odds with the fans since. He comes across as very unprofessional on social media at times too. He painted himself into a corner over the takeover stuff and his determination to prove he had the inside track. He just feel fucking stupid the way he went on about Staveley too on Twitter etc

By legal I mean it could theoretically be used as a method of execution on someone sentenced to death rather than anyone can do it when they feel like it 👍🏻

Last reported case of stoning in Saudi Arabia was 1992. Also the same year MBS turned 7. It’s legal but it’s not used as a form of capital punishment in practice.

Only 65 and just 8 weeks after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour

Bit harsh. I thought we were mates

It’s precisely this. He’s a bully. Like that time when he asked if a journalist had ever played the game (or similar). Only it turned out they were an ex-pro. He’s a proper nasty piece of work

What a fucking prick

Yeah. As you and Dazzler mention they either have zero knowledge of the conflict or knowingly spread lies about it with the ‘genocide’ stuff. Almost certainly it’s the former

And having a minute’s silence on 9th November

Sportswashed 👆

Aye. Deserve their lead even if the goal was a bit flukey

DWEEB!

He’s right. It’s unreal

I dread to think how much those Louis Vuitton jeans cost

Great winner mind.

That’s some classy overt racism right there

Haven’t heard that in what must be decades
