The Fish

Makes total sense, even though he's made of glass. Plus, he's good enough to help younger strikers with their movement, and finishing.

Exactly. The criticism of his ability hasn't changed in over a decade; no identifiable style, mish mash of ideas, poor defensive organisation, poor attacking movement, no balance between the two and no control of midfield. When he gets a job at Derby and takes them from 8th in League 1 to 18th, it'll be the same complaints; fans were against him from the start, injuries, not enough money spent, not enough time to get his ideas across.

Read something on the Atheltic about their latest loss and was looking for some paragraph that sums it all up, but I'd have to copy and paste the entire article, such is the breadth of criticisms. He is laying the groundwork for blaming the fans, mind you;

I think this part is really important. ASM starts against Liverpool, Palace and Bournemouth, I think we get between 5 and 7 pts, which would have us 4th. I'm fully expecting us to go on a run of form where we string together a few wins and some good performances. Isak will be important when he settles a bit, but that task has been made more difficult by us missing key players in his early games. Him and ASM should cause defenders no end of bother and even if neither of them score, they'll create spaces and opportunities for others to get in on the act.

I feel like I'm alone in not being that bothered about the start. We're playing ok, only lost to Liverpool, creating a decent number of chances, defending all right and when the big guns come back, we'll be better. Zen

Late call apparently

John Carver, or Pardew on his magical mystery tour?

Being a moderator on here wasn't deemed 'relevant experience'. It's all political.

Even after I go, my legacy will live on.

There should be punishment if people fail to hold true to their manifesto promises. I'm happy to be the board policeman (RIP LeazesMag)

Moderate this! Fist is great, I wish I was him.

Nope, not going to happen, what else you got?

Well, that's the thing, I'm not sure. But I do often talk shit about her to the Mrs, or anyone we have round, so maybe the walls are thin enough for her to hear? Fuck her though, her and her adult son have blazing arguments at all times of the day and night about the most mundane shit. "BEN! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO LEAVE THE WINDOW OPEN!" "URGH MUM LEAVE ME ALOOOOONE THIS IS WHY NOBODY LIKES YOU!!" Really interrupts the zen vibes I've got going when working on WIP-Project New Draft 20210821 ver 2.0(7).xlsx

You come at the king, you best not miss. (Disclaimer: Until the above, Dave had no idea about when the election was, let alone when the Brexit Party was formed. This should not in any way take victory from him, because he needs this win.)

Would it though? Would sufficient Tory and Labour voters have leapt from the comfortable familiarity of their regular party to some single issue fad? I'm not so sure.

Yeah, since then, I've had a new kitchen put in, we signed a stack of good players, relationships with one of my neighbours have soured to the point she'll blank my wife and son.

Because there could be legitimate reasons why campaign promises could not be kept. Say Labour win and promise a fuck load of spending on services, but the global economy tanks and now they can't afford it. And surely anybody with enough competence could come up with a whole host of reasons why promise A couldn't be delivered because of instance B.

Well, you should. I'm hilarious. Just wondering, if Kwarteng reverses a lot of the mini-budget to restore some public confidence, couldn't they paint themselves as having listened to the people, while their banker chums pocket the money they made from shorting the pound? Couldn't they turn a reversal into a kind of win for the type of people who need any slither of hope to keep voting for them?

It was nearly a year ago Renton. 10 months is a long time.

No, I know that technically it's a dramatic shift in a fundamental part of our democracy, I was making a light hearted shit joke in the face of unrelenting misery and gloom. Jesus Ewerk, could you not let me have it? Radical... like the fucking Turtles use it. Cowabunga and all that.

How beige a man must you be if altering voting methodology would make you radical?

I warmly remember him telling Rikko that despite his on-hand experience, patient explanations and expertise, Nuclear power doesn't exist. No, he needed proof that wasn't anecdotal, empirical or based on what we'd been lead to believe by the deep state.

Nah, I've not posted on there in ages. Browse on occasion but honestly? It's not as fun when they're not struggling so much.

Can anyone explain to why, like in the world, the Labour party wouldn't be all-in for PR regardless of their current lead in the polls?
