Pwease vote for us and stop this poor lickle kitty cat feeling sad

I imagine that’s what he was

Getting Johnson in to try and save the campaign easily beats either of those

Same here

What a save

Really good match this like.

The most recent electoral calculus was even worse for the Tories with them still as the third largest party in parliament and Labour with an even bigger majority. It’s pretty mental anyway though to think they’d take your hand off if you offered them 150 seats and would regard that as a success

Actually scratch that last bit. I checked and they made the quarter finals of the CL. which shows how much attention I gave it the year we were in the championship. But they still weren’t really able to invest as much as their owner would have liked and slowly stagnated as a result

A bit like Leicester. They couldn’t kick on after winning the league and were a bit of a joke in the CL iirc. Which as well as being unfair, got them into the strife which saw them relegated eventually. And as Robin mentions re Villa, would have had negative implications in terms of the PL Uefa coefficient. It’s not really surprising the rules are a mess when they’ve been designed by a few clubs trying to keep themselves from being challenged by any new contenders

Can the gambling commission look into him first, please?

It’s amusing to see him getting more and more annoyed. Whilst showing less and less understanding and using dafter and dafter analogies with each post he makes in that thread. He’s a fucking moron

“The £40,000 club opened with a billing as a luxury nightspot in 1972, fulfilling a lifetime dream for owner Donald D'Adamo - better known through his Hexham hairdressing business as Donalde.”

There’s a story I read about when he was at Lazio and his then manager Sven had a bet that he couldn’t take a goal kick which cleared the fence at the other end of the training pitch. Which I think was about 10 metres back from the pitch and about the same height. He supposedly did it comfortably at tye first attempt. He was an absolute heed case like

is it really any different to match fixing? Yes, yes it is

I bet Ronald Koeman can still take a better free kick than him. In fact, I bet Sinisa Mihajlovic can

I think Gemmill’s point though, which I agree with, is no level of planning can make you force other clubs’ hands in terms of signing our players. You’ve even said yourself it’s the English system that is mainly to blame.

I think previously he had a group of experienced pros in a side that almost picked itself when everyone was fit. Now he’s got serious attacking options and it’s revealed just how out of his depth he is at this level

I bet they’re all fucking sick of him wasting every set piece. He’s obviously been an incredible player for them over the years. But surely, given he’s a shadow of his former self, he should be a bit part player for a side with a genuine chance of winning the whole thing. But no. It’s the Ronaldo must score show.
