KK had him lined up and he even trained with us iirc. But Ashley wouldn’t cough up the fee and that was probably the beginning of the realisation the promises wouldn’t be fulfilled. And aye, you could imagine Hippo Heed using that story and changing the details to make it about him. Funny how it’s never been mentioned once (to my knowledge at least) that Allardyce was in for him.

The man who made Jay-Jay Okocha into a long throw-in specialist

Modric is an Allardyce type of player like. The hippo-heeded fraud.

Him not you

Hilarious but, the more I think about it, disgraceful and deserves a retrospective ban 👍🏻

To be honest I fucking despise Arsenal, their fans generally and Arteta and their priggish hypocrisy. And I’d rather Man City won the league again than Liverpool or Arsenal, who are the only other two realistic candidates imo. Plus it just shows what they’ve accomplished by trying to make it a closed shop, ie the rest of the established teams might have an advantage over the ‘other 12’ or whatever. But they’ve also locked in Man City’s advantage over them.

Takes me back to the days of ratemypoo.com on the right

Aye. He took a load of punishment that night. Which is often overlooked, due to him winning the fight and cementing his being world champion. But even a clearly passed it Klitschko was first to the punch virtually every time they engaged in the middle of the ring and Joshua took two to land one.

Come on, it’s obviously a, erm, slug?

I don’t know, but since we got rid of Sky and got Virgin instead it’s fucking miles better

I was 50 last week if that makes you feel any better.

On that TOTP podcast Taylor Parks was going on about how Fine Young Cannibals and Fun Lovin’ Criminals are both shit names. But if you swapped over the last word you’d have two good ones. Fun Lovin’ Cannibals in particular

Was just thinking of that tune in relation to that list. Delroy Wilson name checked too.

A sad as fuck Scouse mackem or an equally tragic real mackem are both more probable.

Surprised he didn’t accidentally drop the act completely and sign off with - de youse hate the mags anarl?

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/?cid=rrpromo Last time I looked at that (about a week or two back) it was much closer. Something like 53 / 47 in favour of Harris. Still not exactly home and hosed. It’s fucking insane it’s even close after the way he behaved the last time, especially in relation to his attempt to stay in power after losing the election.

I used to leave written notes on the parish notice board outside the Strawberry

It probably will be. When I think about it. It was before my time (I didn’t like the later incarnations to be honest). But me and a couple of mates from middle school went to Tiffany’s a few times when they had these Hip Hop things on for under 16s (alcohol free, obviously) on Saturday afternoons. That must’ve been 86/87 ish. Apart from being shite at breakdancing (despite loving the music) I was put off from going to many of these due to the constant fear of getting chinned by older lads. I think they were inevitably closed down due to kids sneaking in booze or just getting rat arsed before the went in.

👍🏻

The building that was the Oxford dance hall was Tiffany’s night club iirc before the Studio / Ritzy days, in case that rings a bell

Blaydon tbh

Was going to say, I think that is / was a cafe or sandwich shop over the road from the Trent House

The needy, tragic cunt has certainly found his spiritual home on RTG

I read quite a good piece on some boring work-related website. Either the House or Civil Service World. The gist of it (written by a bloke) was that leaks are coming from senior civil servants who have an axe to grind with Gray. And also the belief that a lot of it was misogynistic and born out of jealousy. I.e. the stuff about her thinking she’s the deputy pm and the toxic way no 10 is being run. And there’s an appetite for it in the media, because apart from a lot of the press being right-leaning, no 10 is no longer leaking stuff directly to them

You lost. Get over it
