Trump is Russia’s bitch

I’ve said it before but if we as fans were demanding that we compete with the likes of Man City then why did the vast majority of the fans like Benitez so much?

I must’ve misremembered it. It may have been some of the people in prison at that time that they were subsequently trying to prevent getting an early release. My view on sentencing is that it should be the minimum time you serve. Then you only get released if you meet the criteria in terms of those assessing rehabilitation and if you behave yourself when you’re in there.

The early release thing was / is a red herring imo. I don’t agree with early release (which the government claimed was going to end but, like most things, probably hasn’t been delivered). The bigger issue is the sentences were pitiful to start with. Wasn’t it only a matter of weeks / months difference in terms of the London Bridge attacker if he’d serve the whole sentence? Not that tougher sentencing addresses the underlying issues.

No interest in Waddle’s opinion on anything tbh. He’s got a chip on his shoulder re: NUFC

There’s a piece in the FT about it too, which is probably slightly better written , but it’s behind a paywall

It says so much about this country, the world and capitalism that this is the sticking point btw

Especially given Luke Edwards seems to think that’s why they are doing it (i.e. without knowing what effect it will have).

Pressure is completely off now as well.

Steady on

Ties in with the notion they’re better on side taking steps against piracy than being snubbed and going all out against the Qataris and not only allowing it but facilitating it in the region. It’s funny how as soon as it became apparent that it might be blocked and the reasons why all the people stopped pretending they gave a shit about the human rights etc

Weird bitter cunts describes them perfectly

It’s funny on there today like. It goes from wanting Sheffield Utd to win to them being absolutely shite. There’s also someone saying how cringeworthy a club we are because of how much the crowd noise went up when we scored. When it was pointed that Sky controlled it they claimed to have known that but that Sky had made it louder for us because they’d bought into the idea of our fan base being so passionate.

He’s a fucking idiot. The best bit is the inference Saudi Arabia are taking steps to to curb piracy but it’s meaningless because it’s after the wto ruling. Like the two parties aren’t in communication, etc. And the Saudis ate just doing this in hope. The ruling itself was fairly nuanced anyway. I doubt Edwards has read or would understand it if he had

He knows what’s going on behind the scenes and isn’t just making shit up as well.

Good on Bruce taking him straight off so he could get the applause from the home crowd

The fucking commentators at it now re: Bruce earning the right to stay on. Fuck. Right. Off.

I thought they were very ordinary when we played them down there too.

Shelvey putting his body on the line there

I feel more sorry for him than I do for Carroll.

Not even clicking on that. She knows about as much about football as she does about constructing a pithy, unpretentious, meaningful sentence.

At this point I just want it to go through to see Luke Edwards’ reaction

Seems like there’s some criteria to be met before approval, which they are now fulfilling. Otherwise I don’t see why they’d be doing this.

Perfumed ponce
