I see England fans have been acting like cunts again, this time in Seville. Funny how the same lot weren't kicking off in Russia this summer -
What everyone else hopes your lass says on 'pub night'

No need to apologise and I completely agree.

Just laughing at your turn of phrase btw

Heard the rumour he's got 3 games to save his job and Brendan Rogers is lined up to replace him? It's daft enough to be true

Every fan base has its wankers and morons but one of the many things I despise about Ashley is the way he divides thoughtful, well meaning fans with club’s best interests at heart.

A good thing about him is that so many turtle dweebs like him that you can read detailed synopses of his works on wiki. Even as a fan I shamelessly admit to having done that on occasion. His language isn’t complex or overly literary but his ideas can be be difficult to follow at times. I think it’s worth it though and I only read for pleasure. I’m too fucking old and don’t have the time to read ‘worthy’ shit

A lad I work with who voted Leave reckons they should just get on with it, in his own words. He also reckons the press are suppressing any positives about negotiations. I normally keep quiet because I don’t want to get into an argument about it at work but I said can I just ask you two things? Why would a predominantly right wing, pro-Brexit written press not report any positives and, given you voted leave, how would you like negotiations to proceed? He just sat for about 10 seconds and then started waffling about project fear. He’s not even thick either. Just completely in denial.

I always loved him. Did a bit on ITV in the Champions League too iirc but was curiously underrated l. RIP -
Even that’s in the spirit of the book since The Grasshopper Lies Heavy is a book in the novel where the Allies win the war, albeit with a different outcome to how things actually panned out. It’s an alternative history novel within an alternative history novel. PKD always wanted to be considered a ‘proper’ writer and wrote a few non- science fiction novels but they were only published posthumously. They’re actually pretty good and I’m a fan of most things I’ve read by him. Even his science fiction is not about the future but him commenting on his present. The Man in the High Castle is probably the one novel where everything comes together and he’s got enough of his trademark ideas to appeal to his hardcore fans but the premise and execution broadens its appeal enough to give him the wider credibility he always craved. It’s atypical of his work but even that’s typical of him because virtually nothing he did can easily be pigeonholed. Tl;dr - it’s fucking mint

It doesn’t. I haven’t seen season 3 but the first two are in the spirit of the novel (which is sublime iyam) in that they’re alternative history rather than science fiction.

Aye. This and Souness. And Trump

Blaming Labour ffs

Fair enough. It’s not like they’ve hero-worshipped a kiddy fiddler, racially abused a player’s mother, had a shit in their seat or anything

Less realistic than a boycott iyam

Brilliantly articulated piece

Saw a comment in relation to Kanye West saying Trump made him feel like Superman that said something along the lines of "More like Robert Vaughn and Richard Prior in Superman 3" Although I think that does both actors a disservice
