Never in doubt 😎

Both isn’t realistic, if you give equal priority to both. The League Cup is a significantly lower priority (even winning it) compared to a CL place. I’d rather we had a proper crack at both but the only teams that do that have deep squads. The only teams with deep squads are the ones that qualify for the CL on a regular basis. If we get in the CL this year it puts us well ahead of schedule in terms of becoming one of those clubs. Once we’re in that group of teams there are no guarantees but you’d think the investment will make it very likely we’d then qualify most years going forward. I’m not getting any younger and would love to see us win something for the first time in my lifetime but HMHM is spot in terms of the bigger picture

Has he mentioned the club have thanked him for lowering expectations yet? As though Real Sociedad wanted £90m for Isak but took less after reading one of Edwards’ tweets

In pretty much any other walk of life the only thing that would stop Williamson getting chinned for the way he goes on is him being able to get away before people finished laughing at him

Yeah, I know this is an obvious thing to point out but it’s pretty difficult to be all that concerned about MBS and his actions whilst simultaneously being woefully misinformed. There’s a lot of stuff you could level at him but the ninth of November attacks isn’t one of them.

Fucking hell

Ceci n’est pas une pipe

Pugwall iirc

That’s what I was going to say

I remember that now

Truss getting literally parachuted in I’m a celebrity might make even me watch it. Probably not, as it would still be absolutely shite, but I hope it happens anyway.

We should buy him, just for the lolz

Sambuca’s in Ponteland iirc. I think it was during hour as well

The whole thing’s been laughable from the start really. The last one was in Russia after Putin had annexed the Crimea though, so it’s not like there’s even a facade of the whole bidding process not being corrupt any more.

Yeah, it probably would be I think he doesn’t want to get his hopes up / thinks the usual bad run after a good start is inevitable.

Arsenal fan I know said the other week he’d take 4th if you offered him it now when I asked if he’d settle for 2nd after the start they’ve had

RIP. Another one of those I’d assumed had died years ago

Terry Thomas

He definitely made some bad decisions (like buying them) but he was extremely generous, especially writing the debts off

Here’s some more:

That Roker Mackem is having a tough time. Spends his life in the NUFC thread repeating that any results success etc. ‘means nowt’, confirming with every post it means the world to him.

@Monkeys Fistcheck out Joann Fletcher on BBC 4 if you fancy a more challenging Egyptology-themed wank 👍🏻

I don’t have a problem with people who voted leave who now gave buyer’s remorse. It’s not like there was any compromise on the part of the ‘winners’ in power, who went for the hardest Brexit possible. And it’s not like there’s any prospect on the table of people being allowed to revisit their position. It does seem significant even The Express has given up on the con job though.
