Yeah. ‘66 was a sea of Union Jacks. Anyone getting wound up by this needs to give their head a shake. Although it winds up all the right people so it’s all good

I remember you mentioning that at the time and I couldn’t help but see it every time after that

Loads of bong too

From an article in the beeb about the new England kit: I’d like to think Joe is a sweaty on the wind up

I’m off to watch Heaton Stannington v Sunderland RCA tonight. If essembee is there to take Grounsell Park good and proper, you’ll hear it here first

What a fucking player he was.

Any excuse:

Corbyn’s ‘bravery’ did a lot of fucking good and was fundamental in facilitating a hard Brexit tbh

Are they responsible for creating the amazing atmosphere at the Emirates?

That’s AV iirc

Didn’t they do well?

Obviously

Mate, I’m not exactly thrilled with the state of UK politics, or the world in general. But Labour giving the Tories a right fucking shoeing at the next general election is a definite positive in my view. I don’t know where we’re headed off the back of that but it’s got to be better than the alternative.

What platform? People are going on like they’ve announced a programme of Reaganomics. Their platform is doing things differently to the Tories and improving people’s lives in the process. They’ll be judged on that. Not promises they make 6 months before an election or empty statements about Gaza or whatever else the Corbyn won the argument twats are obsessing over

News just in that Owen Jones plans to follow his announcement up with a hard hitting leaflet campaign

If there’s anything to campaign for it’s electoral reform. Possibly a hopeless cause but not as hopeless as voting for greens or independents in the next election. In the vast majority of constituencies at least

Well half the article is an attempt to shoot down the obvious criticisms (like the imminent landslide victory for Labour). Which just had the opposite effect tbh.

Yeah, I respect that view but the timing? Just fuck off, you tedious cunt Him, not you

If he was genuine he’d go into politics properly instead of criticising Labour via various media outlets. I think he was genuine initially but he’s just another grifter and has been for a while

I would imagine it’s because they’re so far ahead in the polls too.

I think it must be very difficult in the vast majority of cases to find the courage to go to your doctor and say that. Or even talk about it general. But I wish to fuck that more people would do it. And I am so glad that it is a lot easier and more acceptable than it ever used to be. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot more progress to make. I fucking despise these cunts. The sooner they’re out of power the better

His Sheff Wed stint btw. Delayed by a month so he could watch England play cricket in the Caribbean. Which was apparently because his parents had died the previous year or because he’d had an operation. Obviously the former is tragic but the cynic in he suggests he was simply trying it on. He repaid that by leaving them that summer the moment he got a better offer. Which, unfortunately, was us.

Perspective does not a Daily Mail journalist make

It was more that he came with a poor fitness record and then proceeded to be unavailable most of the time and still got extended. I might have misremembered it but wasn’t he (seemingly) constantly two weeks away from full fitness?
