I remember the way Eddie talked about watching Tonali play for Milan and wanting him so I don't think Ashworth played that much of a part in that one (for good or for bad - I've seen him getting stick on Twitter for the signing) so as others have said he hasn't exactly unearthed Brighton type gems as yet.
Just like with players, if people don't want to be here then fuck them.

Yeah saw that and thought This Mortal Coil's version is much better.

I used to go to a barbers when I was a kid who was the spitting double of Steve Wright - he was called Verne and was made by the long hair fad of the mid to late 70s.

Having just watched Only Connect, I now know we needn’t worry about climate change.
If my maths is correct, and growth is consistent, within 20 years the entire planet will be replaced by Victoria Coren’s tits.
What a way to go.
Add in her arse and I have no worries whatsoever.

But in the UK at least it's a balance, a set of scales. The tories here pushing the culture war agenda won't be successful, because that's their choir, anf their choir isn't big enough. How will Trump pushing the QAnon shit possibly endear him to the mainstream. Unless you are telling me QAnon is the mainstream, which I find hard to believe? Currently 53% of people disapprove of him, but I think this will grow with his continued legal difficulties and general insanity (about 30% of current Trump voters have saifd they will not vote for him if he gets a criminal conviction). The more he exposes himself, the lower his ratings.
Granted Biden is a huge concern here. I would hope though, that the majority of Americans will appreciate the Biden situation is temporary but loss of their democracy under Trump won't be. As such, they will do what many people here do come election day, hold their nose and vote for him. We'll see I guess.
I remember Chez posting last time that he'd met loads of business men who I'm guessing aren't the more general nut jobs saying they'd vote for Trump no matter what his other policies were as long as he cut taxes.
I think there's parallels there with Tory pensioners and the triple lock here.

Wasn't Clough born in Boro?
I suppose his name is Irish and he could have ancestry there but don't get the "Came from Ireland and loved Clough" connection.

Murphy mildly fucked his calf in the warm-up so was unusable according to Eddie via Hope.

Also their first goal, good position and almiron puts a dreadful pass to longstaff and they break on us. I thought it was a terrible ball then you watch them score from it. Awful.
Almiron has been abysmal.

Sorry, this is paranoid delusional nonsense. It just shows to me that those who follow populist leaders, no matter how otherwise intelligent, are completely blind to reality when it comes to them. Be that Johnson, Trump, or Corbyn.
What do you mean by populist regarding Corbyn?
Because he "played" Glastonbury and actually engaged with young voters rather than ignoring them like the rest?
He had a cult following because he actually had/has principles and decent policies - yeah give me some shit about useless without power but we've had 45 years of the Thatcherite consensus and we're going to get another 20 years so excuse me for actually wanting something else.
Let's have a beige policy-less manager who inspires nobody and nothing - much better for democracy.

I know it was down to May being shit as well but Corbyn was "getting there" by the 2017 election. That frightened too many people (including large number of Labour MPs and advisers as proved by Forde) so the bullshit was turned to 11 to ensure he lost in 2019. Of course he contributed to that himself but included in that exercise was the convenient "get brexit done" where Corbyn was fucked for trying to please both sides of the divide and instead pleasing neither. You could argue now people like Starmer deliberately pushed the second referendum as part of that campaign to fuck him as the "respect the result" position in 2017 was more popular generally.
Now the same people who promoted a disaster knowing he'd be a disaster are allowing a "grown-up" to have a turn as long as he makes sure nothing changes in any meaningful way.

Well that rule that KD posted about fouls outside continuing into the box being pens doesn't apply at the African Cup of Nations because VAR have just awarded a free kick in the exact same circumstances as Burn's in the Nigeria vs South Africa game.

I remember my first couple of weeks at University. We were in catered halls in that first year. Anyway, it took me little while to cotton on but lots of people in the halls asked what school I’d gone to. I thought it was a bit odd (like how the fuck would someone from another part of the country be familiar with Seaton Burn Community High School. It was, of course, the privately educated sounding you out to see if you were a pleb or one of them. Within about two weeks they were sat in their private school cliques. I hasten to add not everyone from that background was like that - some couldn’t wait to disassociate themselves from that bit of their life. However it applied to the vast majority of them.
I love the way as soon as you suggest some reform, even as mild as making private/public schools pay vat, it's described as "class warfare" when that's exactly what they've been practicing successfully for centuries.

Well her being there saved Starmer from agreeing with him as he would have done otherwise.
