That’s the Japanese. If you’re going to be fucking lacist, at least get it wight

Adam Armstrong has more goals and more than twice as many assists from less appearances this season. Which puts Clarke’s absolutely incredible numbers for 2023/24 into some context

Made a lovely green Thai curry last night, even if I do say so myself. I’ve sussed out that instead of trying to make it healthy I just have it instead of the occasional takeaway. So full fat coconut milk. And in addition to the paste (used Blue Dragon as it doesn’t contain fish sauce) I hoy in some dark soft sugar, plenty soy sauce, fresh lime juice, ginger, garlic, a squirt of sweet chilli sauce and sriracha plus fresh coriander and basil.

Schrödinger’s twat

I think we can at least all agree that, if Trump does get back in, it’ll be Starmer’s fault

I disagree

I thought for second goal, even though I’ve no idea where all that added time came from, it was soft. I thought it was a poor challenge by Miley. He could’ve gotten a big closer. You can maybe say he should’ve put his body on the line. But even if you think he was right to stay on his feet he should’ve got a bit tighter and he would probably make a better challenge by not turning his back. Obviously it was unlucky but the deflection, as opposed to a proper block, was made possible by the weak challenge

I think the point about not changing things is further driven home by our not really looking troubled after Howe made the change to a back 3.

The thing is with Jamie Redknapp is that he’s a fucking cunt

If he’s going to persist with Burn, 3 at the back isn’t s bad option with personnel available

Never in doubt

You can understand that though. I.e. not wanting to trigger the clause so we have to spend that sort of money on a player that he doesn’t seem to rate. Especially with the FFP situation.

Mine as well

Tino must be wondering how the fuck he can’t get into this back four

Did Johnny Mercer used to be in the armed forces? I’m surprised he doesn’t mention it more often

Asthma treatments would be performance enhancing and amphetamines are a common treatment for ADHD

Their ‘big reveal’ of the ‘evidence’ backing up their claims around that btw

One of my favourites is Tyson Fury using the excuse that his positive test for nandrolone was actually due to eating uncastrated wild boar

That sounds absolutely fucking horrific

I love it when they come out with shit like “I was just in (for example) Vancouver airport with my Sunderland top on. And this bloke just came up to me and said I saw STID and now I am a massive lads fan. We are MASSIVE.” Which then gets about 200 likes.

You mean Craig (inherently sarcastic) Cash

@PaddockLad if I remember correctly you are partial to a drop of Cuban rum. At the minute you can get Ron Santiago de Cuba 8 year old in Sainsbury’s for £21 (if you have a nectar card snd use it when you buy it). I was in there last night but just had a quick check and the offer is still in. Personally I would rank it slightly above Havana Clerb 7. Either way it’s a bargain at that price

It plays to my dad’s generation. My dad isn’t that bad (although he’s getting worse). A lot of them are insulated from most of the effects of the Tories’ fuck ups economically. Because they don’t have a mortgage to pay and they retired well before they were 60 on silly public sector pensions. Once they’re gone there isn’t a similar generation to replace them because no one else is ever having it so good. Reports of the Tories’ death in the past have been greatly exaggerated but, for this particular brand of what has always been a brigade of utter cunts, they have a very niche appeal. I don’t see people forgetting it in a hurry either because all most people really care about is their own standard of living. The daft old bastards who sit tutting at GB News all day (not my dad but I know a few) are quite literally a dying breed. It’s a fucking shame it’s come to this but just maybe it’s the shake up this country needs. Although not if the press has anything to do with it
