Did you read about Truss suggesting there should be some sort of "Economic NATO" to counteract China? Unfathomable stupidity.

I think the Monkey's heed and Keane both won the title. I think AH is right about the first ray of sunshine after years of living in caves football wise. I love the line in Sit Down by James which goes "If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor" which I've always applied to the Ashley years compared to the previous ones and I think the Mackems need the equivalent opposite line for how they are now. (Not that their current riches match ours under KK/Bobby of course).

John Craggs.

I don't have guilt about the British empire but being blissfully unaware of its evils is imbecilic ignorance.

There was a "clever" short one we scored from against Villa.

"Could"...

The thing about the scouse cunts being 7 behind on GD is that I don't want to be counting the goals going in against Southampton. We could really do with putting a few past Leicester.

If Brighton beat Man Utd, us, Arsenal, Man City and Villa then I wouldn't begrudge them top 4 (as long as its the two sets of cunts they squeeze out).

Time for the scouse Mackems to head home.

I though of Pardew and Williamson at one point yesterday.

Villa that can't catch us?

Plus we were up against 12 men.

The camera position is fucking shit.

Still worried about this ref - no control.

Loses a mark for "Celebrate our new King".

One word defences - two of them - "Klopp" and "Arteta".

We went to psv the first time in 97 without tickets as the club went official trip only after we'd booked flights. Two of us managed to get tickets in the nufc end and me and a mate got tickets in the uefa "lounge" by accident which was nice. Anyway we were talking to two lads who like us didn't have tickets and they got theirs right in their end behind the goal so one of them bought a psv away strip to wear as he couldn't face buying a red and white home one. As soon as they walked in the fans around them said "you must be English" - they weren't hassled at all but asked how they were spotted thinking they'd given themselves away - "Nobody wears the away strip for home games" was the reply.

I have to say the idea of signing Krul or Forster as keeper backup to get around the "trained" requirement is almost genius - if the team think they're still good enough of course.

Aye, my first thought - they're taking the piss as well.

Blackburn score - they're there.

Much like Villa and to a much lesser extent Southampton at times, the ball went through our midfield far too easily. I think we need Longstaff back ASAP. Also to sort of invoke Gary Player's quote about luck, better teams tend to get more breaks (even allowing for corruption). It'll come.

KK - perfectly deserving and would cause Wearside to implode with fewm.

I think it'll narrow as it gets nearer - it's only last year they broached 50% but now it's down to a "normal" winning lead of 36 to 42 roughly. There is a lot of anti-tory sentiment I agree but if people aren't positively drawn to Labour they'll look at alternatives. They have done a reasonable job of regaining support from the red wall but in other areas they aren't doing as well - I think that's more likely to be people like us who aren't convinced that they want to really change anything.

It would be funny as fuck if people pissed off with Starmer's shift right voting Green cost him a majority then he was forced to work with them or the lib dems. Thing is I think it would only take a relatively mild set of policies to reverse that effect.

Or since all their policies and worse are now tory party policies. Of course a lot of their members also directly joined the tories.
