Explains his rancid patter

Poor game but fuck those horrible cunts. Even better in a way that Man City were nowhere near their best and Man Utd got a ridiculous pen yet they still got beat.

I’ve had to put ITV on

De Gea

Mind Man City haven’t played with enough tempo. Scored early and looked to just pass it to death. Then struggled to lift it after the equaliser.

Never a pen like how’s that an unnatural position?

Was about to post it should’ve been a red based on the current rules

That is fucking hilarious.

Lucky to get a point v us as well

Aye. And even then it was completely unconvincing against Ireland on a good Lord’s pitch with the sun shining. He looks like a walking wicket and the Aussies will be licking their lips

Well they find the idea of toilets offensive anyway so it’s inevitable the notion of a Geordie one will tip them over the edge.

He comes across as a pissed up parody of his former self these days. I know those comments about Spurs / Levy were funny (because it’s Spurs), but he only said it because he was a failure there. It’s always someone else’s fault

I think Man Utd broke the British transfer record about 3 or 4 times (just under Ferguson)

Well I hope you have a good time in the sense I hope you have a good time and I hope you have a good time in the sense we’re winning

And, if the stories are accurate, good pitches with small boundaries. Are you going to Edgbaston btw?

I think it’s important they realise this. Because they might get a landslide by default because the Tories have fucked up literally everything they’ve touched and made everyone worse off. But if Labour don’t reverse that and take the steps necessary they might be lucky to get two terms. Certainly no more given the way the right wing press will go after then if they smell blood. I disagreed with Rayvin recently over the inference many on here were happy for them to get power by any means. And that’s because there’s a massive difference between discussions about reversing Brexit (fully or partially) being off the table and actively bringing up Brexit and promising you’ll never consider FOM, the CU, SM and so on. I regard the former as depressingly necessary pragmatism and the latter as sheer lunacy.

Congratulations to you (and Toonpack)

I told you lot that should be a parody site. Also unsure how well it fits in with their stated editorial aim of “promoting the city’s image and profile on the world stage.” Unless they’re agent provocateurs installed by the magedia

I still reckon the McTominay links could be his agent eyeing what would probably be his one big career move. Like I’ve said before you can be ITK but you might be hearing direct from an associate of the player, that Howe wants him, rather than Howe or someone close to Howe.

Yep. On that basis it shouldn’t be Pep but the league winner nearly always gets it. Especially in a season when loads have worked wonders with their resources there are seemingly lots of better candidates. There’s probably a better argument for Arteta (as well as others previously mentioned).

Aye McAllister was class for them and generally underrated. The other thing is those were the very early days of a second substitute and it was much less of a squad game them. Didn’t Leeds win the league the season after they were promoted too?

At that point in his career Gazza could run all day but so could Jones. He wasn’t quite the sane athlete in his second spell, post-Leeds, at Wimbledon. I read once Jones was devastated Wilkinson discarded him after Leeds got promoted as he’d been excellent for them in the second tier. Maybe he lost his desire a bit after that too?

If they win the treble it would be a more notable achievement and a better demonstration of a successful assimilation of a player than if they didn’t do that but beat last years ‘key metrics’ though I know they’re two games away from that but it’s ultimately how he’ll be judged. I get what you’re saying about the league and specifically in reference to the manager of the year award 👍🏻

Crawler’s first class average recently dropped below 30. I think it’s just above again now but that’s fucking insane for someone regularly opening in test cricket. There’s backing players (which is obviously good in test cricket) but you can certainly go too far
