I started binging Slayer a few hours ago and now I can’t stop. Slayer’s first 5 albums saw me through a very stressful period of my life so they’ll always have a special place in my heart

Would be a good signing for any club playing attacking football. Would be a very good signing for Leicester.

Wtf did I just watch

I imagine most human trafficking is done by criminal gangs, but I don't really know anything about human trafficking... so it's just an assumption I'm making based on the fact it's illegal and seems organised - so it looks like organised crime.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-50150070 39 people found dead in a shipping container in a lorry in Essex. Wtf

I like that content doesn’t have to be in the stadium. Because if it was in the stadium it’s probably harder to fake having an actual atmosphere

Seen some other shite on social media of other things that happened on Old Trafford that are perhaps unsavoury but aren't really talked about. But it's not too surprising, there's a huge number of dickheads out there in the world. It's a big match between the two big clubs in the league - you're going to get some jumped up dickheads being... dickheads. And there's stuff that might be distasteful... but at this point if you're a Liverpool fan you've heard it all before from fans from all over the country. But regarding this racist fan that United were investigating... the investigation is over. He's been given a lifetime ban from Old Trafford for racially abusing TAA. Good on the club & the United fans who reported him for his abuse.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THE BEST NEWS STORY I HAVE SEEN ALL YEAR https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-50137450 This sounds like a comedy film. One that I would watch and probably enjoy

Nah like a few minutes before Fab did his challenge. He lay there rolling his head until the ref blew the whistle and then he immediately popped back up and wanted to get on with the match - at least the ref made him get to the sidelines. But if he’s got a history of doing that, well I’m not surprised. He’s got that Rivaldo quality of making a meal of every touch, the little cunt

Fabinho’s was dirty but I’m pretty sure it was right after James had faked a head injury which wound us up. The thing is what Fabinho didn’t wasn’t a foul, but what Choudhury did was definitely a foul.

I’d like Choudhury if he wasn’t so fucking reckless. He’s young though, so he can learn that you can be physical as fuck and also not dangerous to play against. He’s also going to pick up a few red cards while he learns that I imagine. Playing Maddison on the left got you a goal against the joint best defense in the league (no not Sheffield United, but us) - so it can’t be all bad. Granted you lot hardly created a thing against us, which might have meant maybe he’d have had more chances centrally. So I’m guessing it’s the 4231 when Rodgers thinks you need to control a match, 433 when you’re expected to beat a side?

How does he normally line you lot up? I haven’t seen too many of your matches this year, really just the match against us and I doubt you’re usually that shithousey because I imagine at this point you’re favourites against your opponents. I notice you said “wingers” so I’m assuming he’s not going with the 442 diamond he loved so much with us.

Okay usually whenever Sajid Javid is criticised… this is usually what's thrown back at anyone - so let's get it out of the way now. "BuT hE iS tHe SoN oF aN iMmIgRaNt BuS dRiVeR" Right now that that's out of the way, let's talk about his absolute dereliction of duty as Chancellor. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/oct/21/sajid-javid-refuses-to-assess-economic-dangers-of-brexit-plan So he's refusing to do an assessment of the economic impact of Brexit, instead reassuring people that it is "self-evidently in our best economic interests." So here we are, facing more economic uncertainty than we had pre-referendum. And we're being told by this fraud not to worry about anything and he won't even make his own assessment because "it'll be fine." In a normal world, this would rule him out from any important position in government ever again. Sadly, we don't live in a normal world. But hey, who cares about the substance of his politics.... hE iS tHe SoN oF aN iMmIgRaNt BuS dRiVeR

Not often do I commend Man Utd... but well done to them for taking the alleged racial abuse seriously and swiftly beginning their investigation. Also well done to them for swiftly kicking the fucker out of the stadium, and well done to the fans sitting around him that didn't tolerate his bullshit and reported him.

He’s such a weird player. Sometimes he looks genuinely awful and yet he’s also been crucial

Hahaha holy shit, Mr. Mourinho

No. And I think you know I’d like there to be one. I can’t see a second referendum happening. The only things I can see are kicking the can down the road and try to negotiate further or a hard Brexit on the 31st. The only way I really see us remaining is if we perpetually kick the can down the road. But how long can we do that?

If it passes narrowly, it will be over mate. Long term maybe the UK rejoins the EU. But in doing so, we probably won't get any of the concessions the EU gave us when we first joined... so we'd still be comparatively worse off to how we are currently as an EU member. No disproportionate say in finance regulations and no pound sterling either. I've heard some remainers think this is the best option for us. I don't know why though.

May's deal was better than Boris's for us economically, so I have a hard time understanding why exactly Tories who weren't willing to back May's deal would be willing to jump onboard with this... other than election posturing. I think the Brexit party just want a hard Brexit so their commodities trading leader can make an absolute killing, and in the alternative if that's not going to happen they'd prefer to stay in the EU (which sounds like a paradox at first)… but because if we're still in the EU they still have their mission to get us out of the EU, thus they have political capital & Farage can still be paid handsomely to do nothing but stick two fingers up to the rest of Europe (and our country) as an MEP.

This shit is fucking crazy: https://www.kusi.com/mexican-president-defends-retreat-in-face-of-cartel-violence/ Mexico's government needs serious help.

Oh I hadn't seen this til just now - so sorry for bringing discussion back to something you said a month ago @Teso dos Bichos, but the homeless problem in California is a super tough issue to face. And it's not just California's fault that the big cities are flooded with homeless people. We've got to deal with people from shittier states sending their homeless people to California because they don't want to deal with them: https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Nevada-Settles-Homeless-Dumping-Lawsuit-369736411.html California's got the economy to provide a better social safety net for the extremely poor, so other states feel like it's okay to dump homeless people in California. But what they're doing is creating an unfair burden on California, when really they should be looking at what makes states like California (and New York... and even Texas, so there's a red state model for the red states as well) have strong economies so they can better provide for themselves. It's a ridiculous situation these other states have created for themselves. California pays in more money to the IRS than any other state - they also invest heavily in themselves with their own taxes. This gives the state the ability and resources to provide better services than other states. Meanwhile states that put in far less money to the federal government than they take out from the federal government. They don't invest in themselves, they just want to let the wealthy of their state get richer while the state overall struggles... and then they pass off their homeless problems from their crumbling economy onto California. And then they have the fucking nerve to complain about the homeless problem in California that they've exacerbated. There's a rising hatred in California for these states that don't invest in themselves, take out more money than they put into the IRS per year, and try to shift their problems to California. And it's just getting worse - and it's also dangerous as fuck for these poor people they're dumping onto our streets. A few years ago, basically right after the homeless population had a massive explosion, there was a serial killer here in San Diego. He was hammering a railroad spike through homeless people's heads... then lighting their bodies on fire. One of the murders was actually a block from my condo and I remember hearing the police and firefighters come at 3AM so I went outside for a cigarette and to see what was going on. Don't think I'll ever forget that night. And it's also dangerous for the people just trying to live. San Diego, LA, and San Francisco all had hepatitis outbreaks because of the recent homeless population explosion. I think it was Georgia that released a serial rapist from prison and then bussed him to San Diego... where he then raped some young woman at a trolley stop. This rising tide of resentment towards the rest of the country is growing pretty rapidly here, and I don't see it changing unless these other states start pulling their weight more. But I also don't see those states ever really pulling their weight. It's an interesting dynamic - but it's probably not great for the USA as a whole.

What a great stat. Looking at all of the other clubs that have been in the league the whole time and me being able to say: wow, you dirty fucking bastards. Blackpool and Barnsley are pretty fucking impressive as well.

Will this deal pass parliament? I don’t think so. The EU always had most of the leverage with Brexit. So I wouldn’t take people too seriously when they blame anyone else with the poor hand we were dealt.

Cheers @CaaC (John), now I Feel Free will be stuck in my head for hours
