What’s ‘pc’ about it? Aye, it happens at every game just about and aye, I’ve done it, but it doesn’t alter how much of fucking mong you actually look when you do it.

Proper Hieronymus Bosch

Aye, the ref was awful but I don’t think it would’ve made much difference

3-0 to Arsenal. That’ll do

Asking for trouble that like

Keeper is yet to let a goal in at home

Plus despite the pre-match patter Parker didn’t come to fight and it was basically just damage limitation. He had some limited success in the early rounds but even then you could argue he was awarded rounds just due to performing relatively better rather than actually doing enough to win them. Thought Joshua’s fitness was really impressive as he came on strong and won the last few rounds for me, ie when you thought Parker might have showed superior fitness. Dull fight but so one sided you have to commend Joshua

Well you always bang on about not being officially relegated until the season is over etc so the same would apply for winning the league. It’s bollocks seeing as they award the trophy but it’s your ‘logic’ not mine

Paging @ChezGiven

Don’t let essembee hear you say that

cant be arsed to get into it again but I just thought it was fucking weird phoning up to talk about it under the circumstances

People on radio Newcastle still moaning about Mitrovic saying he’d have scored a few today

Aye, it’s in our own hands but I’ll take anything that helps us a bit at the minute.

Liverpool beating Palace is a good start to the day

No news is no news

I might give that a go. I loved The Secret History. Just been re-reading the excellent Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit. Must be about 25 years ago I first read it

It’s been a great British tradition for some time, first practiced by our glorious leaders, to blame the EU for stuff that is a domestic issue

Tres bon

I agree. With his French cricket-style of batting he's not a batsman I particularly enjoy watching but it's ridiculously effective and he's quite possibly / probably on his way to being an all-time great.

Aye, it's all a bit unsavoury. I would normally have a giggle at Australia being in disarray but it feels like this is bigger than all that, with the integrity of the entire game being at stake somewhat. Smith will wish he stood down now but it seems he felt this was just a storm in a teacup initially.

He's clearly an Illuminati stooge. Seriously though, he's either thick as shit or taking the piss. Also, is it just me or are his murals fucking shite?

Feel a bit sorry for Bancroft in that he was put in a bad situation by much more senior players and could well see his international career never recover. I know he's not a kid etc. but still.

I like Lehmann but, like I said, it reflects badly on him whether he knew or not.
