Bob Moncur reckons Shearer told him that Owen refused to come on as sub in his final match for us v Villa. I’ve heard it from a few different people and it completely lines up with his way of thinking, ie protect his signing on fee for his next free transfer at all costs

She’s like an inverse King Midas

Can’t even get that right

Think he went to a grammar school. It was a state school though.

It doesn’t matter what she says. The mini budget was suicide.

That’s just at the conference

Like when BA used London Calling in the run up to the Olympics

Aye, he’s just one of the few who still pretends to be nice.

Both tbh

I’m fed up coz all you wanna do is criticise

Aye, fair comment

It does, aye. The point is it doesn’t seem to fit with what they seem to want to do here or with their other ‘sports washing’ projects. And, at the same time, it would still put us in a very good place and it’s a best case dream scenario for an obsessed, bitter, toucher from down the road. Even their unlikely takes on everything going relatively tits up puts us light years ahead of them

Ages ago, I think it was the early days under SJH, when the club was skint. He offered some money to the board. Like £500k or something. A lot at the time anyway. I think it was a genuine offer but in exchange for a stake in the club and he was offered some honorary role instead, like ambassador or something. Or the most expensive season ticket in the world, as he put it

Apart from anything else that sounds like a terrible deal. Reminds me of Brian Johnson’s quote about the most expensive season ticket in the world.

They’ve already demonstrated they aren’t investing in sport to see a profit returned (see the golf tour). But even if the owners were doing that with us then you would think it would cost more than £1B to make us worth that much anyway so what would be the point in that? Exile’s only interested in the human rights issues anyway though, isn’t he? The Rafa dig too. Even a busted flush version would be in a different stratosphere to anyone they could hope to attract

Is that why he let his contract rundown and why he subsequently played for their most hated rivals then? Fuck off, you boring little cunt

Of course they all benefited from the university educations they now lie about to try and score political points. Not that they’re a very good advert for the education they received, although it certainly doesn’t seem to have been very ‘woke’ in their cases.

I liked inverting the pyramid from a history pov more than anything else. Wilson is quite a dull fella though with a sprinkling bitter mackem thrown in. He also writes about cricket and him and some of his colleagues from The Nightwatchman appeared on Only Connect. The look on his face at the end was something to behold. His team having lost with him failing to answer a single question.

Might regret those cuts to the police force now

That Skaddnhotpies is thick as fuck even by their standards. Also: One like

I think it was HapoyFace who reckoned this is what they were referring to in Goodfellas when they introduced someone as a ‘stand up guy’

Who hell he?

The fucking owners definitely do. What planet do you have to be in to think he’s the answer?

Or not

The comeback is on!
