The Artful Dodger

Made up nonesense from the weird freaks on bluemoon.

Yes Arsenal are a way from challenging for the title but some overreactions so far. Emery has got a great chance of winning the Europa League, if they win that finish 6th I think they've done okay. Compare it to Klopp's first season (albeit he didn't get pre-season etc) and I think you accept that you're going to be beaten quite often. If he can sort out the away form top 4 is very achievable next year, that's if they don't get it this year which they might, and then they can build to towards a title challenge, just as Liverpool have.

Great sources Talksport and The Sun are the same thing, and both linked to SKY. They'll push an agenda to make people bet on things, it's absolutely scandalous that it's allowed. Not that I don't think Sarri shouldn't go, it's clear he's not going to work at a club like Chelsea.

I think Silva is genuinely good with the players, Hull and Watford players rarely have much bad to say about him. So he may be able to swing it.

Is he up for it? Think he'd be a brilliant permanent signing, but will other options be around? Spurs are rumoured and if they can offer Champions League I doubt he'll stick up here.

Everton are still one of the best clubs in the country in terms of producing young players, hopefully some of these turn out better than Tom Davies.

I'm not sure things are any worse than before, it's just now recorded. These West Ham fans will have sung this for years, likewise Chelsea etc. I remember going to Stamford Bridge and hearing the Chelsea Ranger stuff when I was under 10, this isn't new it's just that we now have the means to record it. These people are so stupid they can't confine their bigotry to there own sordid little griefhole pubs where they will be surrounded by the likeminded, and will inevitably be caught doing it in public. Hopefully to the detriment of their careers and general life.

I am in favour of selective education to an extent, I just think the grammar schools were too defining at such a young age and ended up being mainly shoring up the middle class kids for good jobs and fuck the rest. Obviously there were exceptions and it's arguable that social mobility is even worse nowadays. We need proper streaming in our schools, backed up by better teaching standards. I went to a local comprehensive and apart from the odd decent teacher, the majority were piss poor just there for the pay cheque, honestly in my history lessons I'd know more than the teacher. Granted I was a bit of a nerd on history but it was embarrassing at times. A proper streaming in all subjects and proper discipline will give people a better chance, people can move between sets each year if they improve and even the bottom class must be required to hit a minimum standard, rather than being forgotten about as they are now.

An incorrigible racist bully who was rightly sidelined by Liverpool Football Club in the modern era, he spoke proudly of bullying young black, scouse lads at the club.

Extremely rare.

not pretty in the slightest. I'd say maybe she's got a nice personality but doesn't look like it. Nah. There are some decent tories, louise mensch was the stand out before she fucked off.

Assange seems to be quite a creepy, odd character and I'm not totally buying into this freedom fighter narrative, I expect their will be some shadowy backers behind him too. However, this is a politically driven arrest, while there are certain secrets I accept must be kept, his exposure of American war crimes is what is behind this.

Good article on Hazard here https://theprideoflondon.com/2019/04/10/chelsea-eden-hazard-leaving-high-note/ Seems quite a few Chelsea fans think Higuaín is a fat waste of space too.

Sounds like there is going to be a second vote now. We'll Remain.

Surely Everton can use this as an excuse to bin him off?

Can we all agree on whatever winds fairy in boots the most? Wouldn't even mind but there's so many better Black Sabbath songs than that.

No chance of No deal.

I think you're giving her too much credit there. She's putting her job on the line to protect her own 'deal'. Parliament blocked no deal.

Well yes, the referendum should never have taken place but it has now, you can't unilaterally decide to cancel it without, at the very least, going back to the people again. It's a ridiculous situation to be in and sadly there is no way back now, the country is in for decades of strife whatever the outcome.

What I'm angry about is this hijacking of everything by the liberal 'left' who've basically been Tory clones for a generation and are largely responsible for this mess. If we revoke article 50, can Brexit and just think everything will be fine then we're in for something far worse. We can't carry on as we are doing, people cannot afford to live decent lives anymore even when they decent full time work, it's absurd how this country has become totally reliant on debt and a good living standard has become the preserve of the wealthy. This bubble, largely centre round London but evidenced elsewhere, seem to think because they've been very fortunate and have a great life that we shouldn't alter things too much. They see the EU as something welcome and fly flags about because it's really just symbolic, they don't care about what really effects people's lives. They won't vote Corbyn, that's for sure, and his Labour are the only decent chance we've had changing things in long time, might be the only one for a while to. So whilst the EU vote result did upset me at first, I can't help but feel there's a hell of a lot of the entitled, well off class who won't learn anything from why it happened, so perhaps, just perhaps we need the jolt of exiting.

Want to bet me I'm wrong? There may well have been some poorer people there but it was largely a march of middle class people, with middle class interests. Nothing wrong with that but this attempt to paint it as some sort of mandate to unilaterally revoke article 50 is disgusting.

The EU is not the problem but neither is it some ennobled angel of good for the working man, it's clearly something which has, chiefly, big business at its heart and punishes those who step out of line, the poor and weakest, see Greece. I'm more romantically attached to the idea of a united Europe and I fear the cultural repercussions of Brexit, the empowering of xenophobia etc. The Lexit arugment is increasingly winning me over though, I don't want to be on the same side as the twats who marched on Saturday, these people are the enemy just as much as Farage and Johnson. In fact possibly more so given the fact they pretend to be the friend of working people but are not at all.

I'm not sure how that logic works. We're going to have a recession anyway, it's the fundamental nature of our economy, brexit or no brexit. Getting a Labour government is far more important than Brexit for me, if we continue to have Conservative governments we'll continue to see plastic growth where real wages are stagnant and fall, the most vulnerable see services slashed and crime rates go through the roof in the poorest areas. The march of the Waitrose shoppers on Saturday was just navel gazing from middle England, they couldn't give a fuck about the poor, they're just worried about their holidays abroad.

Have to say yesterday's march has turned me complete against Remain. It was just middle class people from across the country, headed by Umunna, Soubry and Campbell. Its the continuity remainers who are taking charge. Left wingers who want real change must oppose them. People say the ERG bad but we've already got awful government and have done for 40 years.
