Honestly don’t even think Johnson would stoop that low

Laughed out loud about 5 times reading that Liz’s fiscal assets

Kinky bastard

Paging @Jimbo

At least she should be able to connect with an audience even thicker than she is

Absolutely. That was my point too, he’s only feigning interest as a wind up and because he knows there’s zero chance of it happening. But he would actually be gutted if he was offered - for my reason and, as you point out, all the grifts, rentagob shite he does. I don’t even think he believes half the stuff he comes out with.

He’d be gutted if he was actually appointed and had to turn up to work everyday.

The more I hear about his career and the way he’s tried to force a move the less arsed I am about him leaving. I’m not saying he’s shit at his job or anything but he comes across as a right sly cunt and I’m not exactly sure what he’s done in the past to justify the hype. And I don’t care what walk of life it is, when you’re able to pursue who you like, as opposed to a fair and open approach, ie like Brailsford has the freedom at Man Utd. There’s a tendency to appoint people you know and like. Rather than purely because they’re the best

I suppose someone paying several billion to buy 25% of a football club and taking the Glazers at their word knows all about silly numbers.

Pork markets

Nobody in the UK, and by that I mean most people as opposed to literally nobody, gives a fucking shit about Gaza. And even less people care about this absolute fucking bollocks of debating it in the commons. It’s pathetic stuff from the SNP and it’s all because Labour are about to give them a shoeing in Scotland at the general election. And ditto from the Tories who are about to get an even bigger fucking lacing from Labour in England. So the fact it has backfired is fucking great. And all the Corbynite cunts who have barely said a peep / quickly forgot about things happening in places like Afghanistan and Syria, because it didn’t give them a opportunity (in their eyes) to legitimise their antisemitism can go fuck themselves as well. Poking this particular hornets nest is only going to increase the chance of more Muslims and Jews getting attacked purely for who they are. That along with scoring cheap political points (not this time though, unlucky).

Sounds very nice though

Keep your sex life out of the cooking thread please

Only just. Although I’m not sure what reform get out of that. It was a very different set of circumstances last time. With the Tories promising to ‘get Brexit done’ which is what ukip wanted

Let him take the club to court after that 12 months and see how that plays out

Brailsford reminds me a bit of the whole Clive Woodward thing. Where after England won the rugby World Cup he thought he could do the same in any sport. I think it subsequently emerged that England team ran itself anyway, with the senior players like Dallaglio, Johnson and Dawson really being in charge. Woodward then took over the Lions unsuccessfully before a spell in a nebulous DoF role at Southampton FC. He’s mates with covid-cunt Rupert Lowe apparently. Where he did nothing of note because he knows sweet fanny adams about football. He’s had the odd ‘executive’ role since, but that’s it. I bet they both do an amazing PowerPoint presentation though

The other thing in all this is that, as per fucking usual, Man Utd, its fans, media arselickers etc. are totally oblivious to how much everyone else hates them.

Not much different to now. Except flowers instead of dairylea singles

Aye. Comparing him to players surplus to requirements at the best team in the world then arguing he should just be allowed to walk away as well. As has already been mentioned it might’ve been different if they hadn’t already tried to completely rip us off previously And on a player who isn’t exactly 10/10 and had about 5 months left on his contract. Fuck them and fuck Ashworth too

Aye, I think it’s purely from the social media perspective they are coming at this. 11 year old lads who hang out at the training ground and Gemmill is the phrase you were looking for btw

Aye. I think it was you who pointed out it’s always the same people who on the tv etc in relation to us. Like ahead of the derby it was some people who previously appeared in the Prime series? Like there’s some club-approved list or something

I think it was Craig on here who said he thought he might be working for the club. I scoffed at the idea tbh (this was very soon after the takeover) but if he’s not directly employed he’s definitely getting ridiculous amounts of access to the club. It seems to encapsulate a lot of why I give less and less of a fuck about professional football. I.e. an absolute fucking bull’s knacker getting the sort of access most followers of the club could only dream of. He’s easily as embarrassing as that Sunderland weirdo with the wooly hat

if they get him they can reprise a slightly modified version of their Will Grigg song that wasn’t their song anyway. Although presumably it’ll be because he’s being burnt at the stake after two consecutive away defeats

Or is the ticket from the place for supposedly using the car park? Or the street where you parked? Rather than the double yellow lines

I think so yes. You could always pick up / drop people off there iirc. As long as it’s not a no stopping zone. But there should be additional signage if that’s the case.
