  1. Basically: how dare you bring up how wrong we all were. Don’t ever speak of things that could be politically damaging to what I believe.
  2. Idk if it’s because I was woken up by a series of WhatsApp messages at 4 am... but I got up and started to think about all the fun things I’d do this Saturday. Just one problem... ... I woke up too early for my brain to be fully engaged to realise there’s still a fucking plague going on! Reality came and slapped me in the fucking face, I did not enjoy that.
  3. Macron acting like a Brexiteer and making some demands of the UK
  4. Nope, I can’t remember him from any of the recent young cameos at least, and I can’t remember hearing about him in preseason which is usually where you hear about the hyped kids if they aren’t getting chances.
  5. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine seems to be a bit shit
  6. I think the UK have stopped letting people in entirely - but they were doing the mandatory quarantine period in hotels. The UK's done a pretty piss poor job at managing the virus, but they've done better than many other countries in a lot of ways as well. Which is actually pretty remarkable because our government is made up of pure incompetence bagged up and thrown into various people. The fact the pandemic is as bad as it is currently is because governments acted very slow, imo. The outbreak had come to light right before the Chinese lunar new year - which is probably South East Asia's biggest tourism holiday. So as it was spreading from Wuhan to other parts of China - it was making its way around the world. Once it hit Italy and we saw how badly places like Bergamo hit, Europe and the Americas could have acted much faster to contain the spread. Quite a few big countries really did not act anywhere near fast enough and tried to play it off like the pandemic spreading was normal and fine and it would all blow over after a few weeks.
  7. I’m not sure immigration was the main cause, so much as tourism.
  8. I seem to remember a certain Dr. Gonzo saying shit like this would happen. Shame to be right so emphatically about something that’s going to affect the jobs and livelihood of so many people in the UK. I’ve noticed a lot of people who were big on Brexit are now either pretending they never voted to leave or that nobody ever warned them about all of the reasons not to vote to leave (they were warned though, they just laughed it off as project fear). This many people voting like idiots is only useful if people learn from their mistakes. So it’s a bit disheartening seeing these people can continue to remove themselves from reality and now pretend they had nothing to do with Brexit.
  9. @Fairy In Boots where are you? Please defend this

    I found a good pick de gallo recipe online a while back. I’ll try to find the exact one and share it with you.
  13. Nice to sign promising young players, but really if we’re low on funds any funds we have right now should be going into getting someone better than Rhys Williams or Nat Phillips in. Even if it’s just for a 6 month loan.
  14. On the one hand, I sympathise with them because they were lied to. They were lied to constantly, pretty much any time they’d watch the news there’d be some Brexiteer cunt lying about how great it would be for the fishing industry. And they were certainly the loudest voice on the issue. But they weren’t the only voice. So on the other hand, it just shows there’s a whole lot of people that went along with lies without looking more into what the fuck Brexit was doing for their particular industry. They could have been a loud voice in protecting themself against self-serving twats like Farage. Instead they went along with the bullshit and now they’re reaping what they sow.
  15. My responses are: 1) no, 2) badly, 3) yeah but we won’t. This season’s a write off imo, I now just want to see our players Pickford players on other clubs I don’t like and maybe do it to some referees too.

    I put off doing it for a while... then I burned them Whoops, I'll try that again this weekend.
  17. We really did do a Chelsea in having Thiago as our marquee signing of the summer - we had 8 CMs and we had 3 CBs. Easy to say with hindsight... so I've gone on and said it.
  18. Winning the league last year was one of the most incredible moments of my life tbh, shame it happened during a pandemic so we couldn’t have a normal celebration.
  19. Nah the US is even worse in that regard tbh. More funding for education is needed all around the world
  20. I’ve seen us snatch defeat from the jaws of victory many times though
  21. I don’t constantly strive to find negatives. I just don’t think things I want to happen will happen. I still hope for the best, I just don’t expect the best ever. It makes nice things happening very fantastic (Istanbul was so fucking euphoric after that first half). If you look back to last year, we were miles ahead and on the cusp of winning the title and @Stan would have to try to convince me we were likely the winners up until the very second we won. It probably stems from being bitterly disappointed each year by the club in the 90s as a kid
