    Donald Trump

    Posted · Edited by PaddockLad

    This is Trump's real entry to the big league. I genuinely think this emboldens him and he'll soon land troops on Greenland. Iraq will incur a refugee crisis upon its neighbours and Western Europe the likes of which we'll have never seen before... don't have kids but I feel very sorry for all yours ..

    Transfers, 2024-25 season

    "Chilling" won't change Howe being pissed off that the players he wanted to sign have gone elsewhere.
     

    That's my main issue. Not that we haven't spent yet. There's plenty of time left in the window. But every player we've been linked with thus far is pretty much signed or in the process of signing for another club. 

     

    Think you're right tbh but I think the whole thing is a symptom of Howe seeing off another TD. There again, Mitchell has been here for a month working his notice so am now thinking has an agreed list of transfers ever existed for this window? Who decided we'd wait till this Monday when Villa will apparently sell the likes of Jacob Ramsey to us?? (🤷‍♂️) Howe's "speed"  comments must have been aimed squarely at Mitchell. So looking at all that are we still working to a plan laid out by someone who is leaving the business next week?.. we haven't had "speed".. if Eddie had the clout we were thinking he had after the champions league qualification why didn't he tell Eales to put Mitchell on gardening leave for a month and sign a NDA? It's too early to judge obviously but looking at the current situation this is a fuckin dogs dinner and all these fuckers including Howe share a portion of the blame. 

     

    Did Mitchell come in and immediately see the gig as a power struggle between him and Howe? If he did that's fuckin idiotic. If Howe has gone out of his way to object to things Mitchell has suggested then he's a prick too. Eales seems to be clocking in and taking the money for little in the way of leadership. Weve had our best season in six decades in spite of all this...it really shouldn't be as chaotic as this though...

    Bruno F. Fuck me.

     

    He wouldn’t even make it into the top 10 midfielders THIS season.

     

    Well yes but no... he was literally the only thing between man utd and relegation... He'd be a good replacement for Longy in the squad...

    Grilled, not cut into rings, just olive oil and salt, nothing else.

     

    You should know batter about Spanish tapas and calamari tbh.

     

    I'm not going there, but Toonpack and Dr Gloom will pick this up later and spend three days of the transfer window making dreadful piscean related puns. They both talk POLLOCKS :thumbup:

     

    Ps... I have had squid (and octopus, much to my wife's disgust) such as you suggest  in Alicante's last traditional tapas bar...the condensation off the ceiling dripped into your food if you weren't careful .. no idea if it's still there,few years back now...

    darren eales....

    Howe has a fucking atrocious history with transfers tbf. I reckon Jordan Ibe still gives some lads in Bournemouth nightmares.

     

    I know scousers that said that they weren't bothered about Sterling going to Man City because Jordan Ibe was better :lol:

    This one I got from some English lasses next to us who had ordered some calamari and where shocked it wasn’t fried…

     

    They might have eaten it with a cherry tomato on top though.

     

    It's raw then?...

     I remember getting the bus back from Boro and those cunts lobbing a breeze block off a bridge over the A19 and it going through the rear window. 

     

    The league cup game at Ayresome  in 92/93 is the most scared I've ever been at a football match. I think it was the game where some of our lot first wore the HAZMAT overalls and face masks and the locals didn't take kindly to it 😬

    We drove down and couldn't find our car for about two hours after the game :lol: our excuse was "well it was daylight when we parked up".. lots of recently redundant scary as shit ex miners staring at us shiftily as we wandered the same streets half a dozen times...  not as scary as Boro but still up there..

    If they want to go after the people complicit in negligence around this then fair enough, though that's not what I've interpreted the purpose of this to be. The recommendations it has cited for improving the situation are the same ones we've had the past 3 times, and it's deeply frustrating to see all these right wingers now running around as if they've scored some sort of huge victory here by compelling the government to look at collecting ethnicity data and consider cultural factors. We had that 'victory' a decade ago in the 2015 one.

     

    Having said that, if the point of all of this is to go after people who were previously being protected, then fair enough - I've not seen that written anywhere except in your post so forgive my ignorance on it. If that is the big difference between this one and the others, then fine.

     

     

    Not behind a paywall at the moment...

    I remember him going on a run in one game towards the Gallowgate, one on one with a keeper and promptly sticking his laces through it and it soaring high over the top of the gallowgate terrace. Fuck me he was useless!

     

    He did the same right in front of us at Barnsley that season and the entire away end fucking annihilated him :lol:

    During the divi 2 run in that ended with that wish should not be named but did us more good than harm in the long run...

     

    Was at this a couple of weeks later in  the home end 😱 

     

     

    I think a young @Howmanheyman was lucky enough to get a ticket in the away section .. Quinn was playing on one leg, Scotty scored after 10 mins which is a fuckin long time to keep quiet 😆
