I know he got banned for betting but Joey Barton’s red card against City in that Aguero game is as close to match fixing as you’re going to get in modern English Football at the top end.

Had Borussia Dortmund at 1/2 on SkyBet. An implied probability of 67% which is probably not far off it’s true value, I think the extended break may have influenced the odds being that big. Also stumbled on Bet 365’s Bet Builder. I’ve seen people’s ridiculous ones that get shared on social media when a 3500/1 pulls off but I’d never thought of using it but looking at it, you can create some good value for yourself quite easily. Had one on the Borussia Dortmund v Schalke game of - Over 2 corners in the match for Dortmund, Over 0 corners in the match for Schalke, Over 0 cards in the match for Dortmund and Over 0 cards in the match for Schalke. Come out at 2/5, which wasn’t bad. I reckon you can get better odds with minimal tweaks. Missed betting though.

Save Me Too. The first series was sublime, the ending was brilliant. I have high hopes for this second series.

Piers Morgan is a vitriolic bellend, whose causing more harm than good with this Robin Hood facade he’s putting on. I’ve just had This Morning on and you’ve got Schofield asking the Health Secretary “what if you don’t live near a park can they still meet people?”. FFS, are people that thick?

In regards to food shopping, I’ve not had a problem. Think the maximum I’ve waited to get in was about 15 minutes at Tesco. If the queues are ridiculous, I just leave and go back again later. I actually think it’s quite a good way of doing things and find it a better experience than before. Only had one negative experience when there was far too many people in compared to what had become normal but I think they were told/realised as they went very strict again after.

That bit was utterly bizarre and for something that was scripted and recorded, I'm astounded that nobody has gone "what the fuck does that even mean?" at all during any stage of that.

They've told people to go back to work, but not really who exactly, with less than eighteen hours notice. These people couldn't be any more detached from normal life if they tried.

A load of vague waffle, then? Cheers Boris.

Got to have been the worst day for any observing of social distancing rules, today. Don’t know about the rest of the country but here the streets were filled with everyone having a street party and all rules went to shit, almost immediately, even to the point where people who don’t live here were turning up and visiting family. Seen plenty of it on social media, too. Big day today, I get that, but it seems this generation are willing to give up their lives to have a couple of Stella’s and an overcooked burger to celebrate the heroes that gave their lives so we could have a today.

Good move to stop digging.

Peoples genders has no bearing on what they post.

Miserable for calling out shite, old stereotypes?

Cool story but not relevant or even actually worth typing out. The old “your a man” shite that actually harms more than it helps.

I’m not really arsed what exactly he did to push over the line to get banned more the difference in how some members are treated in comparison to others. Which was undeniable. There was and dare I say, probably still is, a clique amongst some here.

More I look at it, the less I like it.

It’s just interesting at the length of time it takes for decisions to be made about some posters compared to some others.

Pretty sure “DIAHF” has been used as an insult to members on here and the old place. Just face didn’t fit. Unlike Cannabis’.

Can’t even remember the old places web address, let alone people that posted on it. From here, who was the two that got banned? Sure one was a Norwich fan, can’t remember the other. They were banned completely unfairly and it painted the staff in a crap light when they were letting Cannabis act like a bellend for months on end. Also, Cannabis was an idiot. He seemed to have a Benjamin Button effect about him in that instead of maturing as he got older, he seemed to become more childish and more of an irritant. He’s missed about as much as a blocked nose.

I know it’s empty and it’s not 100% complete with logos and sponsorship and stuff like that but it looks meh.

Far too premature into the lads career to be making those assumptions, for me. Stinks of lazy journalism and racism to me and nothing more. He’s a lad that turned twenty a couple of months ago living in the UK in his first season in the Premier League. As far as I’m aware there were no previous worries about his attitude or off field behaviour prior to joining Everton, so comparisons to Balotelli, at this stage, are beyond premature.

The only comparisons at this stage are their nationality and skin colour. He never drew any comparisons to Jack Grealish, who is a similar age and recently, done a similar thing. It’s not as though he’s a bit of a dickhead normally and is usually doing stupid stuff, this is genuinely the first I’ve heard of Kean doing anything away from the pitch.

Seen Moise Kean has allegedly had a party and is being called the next Balotelli. Dunno if it’s just me but it seems a little bit racist because the only things they have in common is their nationality and skin colour.

Only thing with promoting Barrow is it leaves a 23 team National League going forward, so you’d have to promote from below step three and I’m not sure you can do that because steps 3-7 have voided their seasons.

Sort of expected it after levels 3-6 ended their season. Think it’s only fair to promote Barrow.

It’s also not like it was ten-fifteen years ago, players are now paid more than they’ve ever been paid so if they really want to go home to mainland Europe over the weekend, flights are more accessible and these tossers can just book a private plane anyway.
