let snot

don't get snotty me with me

Came for the Newcastle chat, stayed for the hay fever advice

i say it every year to wind the mrs up

that looks good enough, though shaw is apparently nowhere near matxh fitness - ridiculous to bring only one natural left back, who is injured. i'd go like this for Slovakia -------------Pickford--------- Walker--Stones--Guehi--Trippier ---------Rice----Bellingham------ Palmer---Foden---Gordon -------------Kane------------

this best listened to in a dark loud club, or with headphones on full volume

The nights have started drawing in

why can’t England play like that?

I wish

festivals are fucking brilliant. the ones where people don’t bring their kids, I should add. 48 hours of hedonism, off your napper, dancing in a field. If you get lucky with the weather, nothing beats it.

it’s still going

Someone might decide that. Southgate won’t. My team is similar to Mr Bass. Trippier doesn’t offer much at left back otner then defensive nous and experience. If we can’t play a left footed left back there, at least put someone in with some pace who can get up and down and give us more width, whether it’s Walker or the kid from Liverpool I don’t know. We need to find a way to get Gordon and Palmer into the team. That means moving Bellingham to a deeper position and Foden to number 10, or dropping one of them. Both are big calls seemingly beyond Southgate

reminds me of the days when we tried to shoehorn lampard, gerrard and scholes into midfield instead of playing players in their best positions

Stubborn is an understatement. It isn’t working - Conor Gallagher to the rescue!

SIGH

though with good reason, as explained in this thread

we've definitely transitioned from that point in the year when the great british public stops moaning about the weather being shit to and starts complaining that it's being too hot

isn't that where wykiki stayed last year?

we already established it's the lake district destination of choice for riff raff such as renton. the real class acts, such as myself, opt for ambleside

yeah, let's not. my bad for dangling the carrot

it was obvious that Russia was behind it - an act of war on British soil as has already been said above - and Corbyn wanted us to send the Russians samples so they could conduct their own tests, basically parroting the Kremlin’s position. The state of the two Russian goons and their bullshit about visiting Salisbury to visit its famous cathedral man. It was ridiculously transparent. The hubris was staggering but not unexpected for the reasons already discussed - the Tories financed by Russia, British newspapers in Russian ownership, the son of a kgb agent sitting in the lords and a Russia apologist as leader of the opposition. Putin has LOVED what has happened in the west the last few years - Farage, Trump, Corbyn - the rise of populism around the world and climate change denial and dwindling popular support for the Ukraine war effort in the US, the far right on the charge in Europe etc.

I sense sarcasm but you’re not wrong

something Corbyn wouldn’t condemn. Another Putin apologist
