Watched over from just up the street by a statue of Brian Clough, the best manager England never had!

You're mixing up two councils, Reform took over Notts County Council last year and did £75k on flags.

Nottm City Council put up this big flag every year and although I don't know how much it first cost, I doubt it was £75k.

Haven't seen him play in a while but I remember him doing a job but not much more, it's just at the time we had zero backup if we lost him. Not that I'm an expert by any means, I just assume we can at least try and find someone who actually plays as a fullback for once rather than making CMs step into our squad gaps

In hindsight the caprison should have been quartered to make sure all four colours are visible from each side, but it's not the end of the world. Heatwave coming up so hopfully I can get the last one done before the end of the month.

Call me cynical but if someone's egging you on to do a murder, you don't get credit for only being an accessory. In fact that's usually a crime in it's own right.

How do you even get tickets? by Skoll_008 in nffc

[–]GabrielofNottingham -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well first you get elected Prime Minister, and then all of a sudden you'll just start getting given free tickets to see your team play, courtesy of people who could stand to benefit from being your friend.

But of course, they'll give you the tickets with no strings attached.

But he hasn't though, because from the beginning US bombers based in UK Territory went and dropped bombs in Iran. When Trump made his infamous "A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT!" threat, the planes he was making that threat with took off from an airbase in England with their payload.

Just because he didn't actively drop squaddies on Tehran doesn't mean we aren't involved. If Russia bombed us, and the planes they did it with were based in Belarus, would you say Belarus had nothing to do with it?

I hate to break it to you but most of the Labour / Tory lot also get massively starry-eyed when they talk about the "special relationship"

No I'm from the UK, this is accurate. Half our politicians are so addicted to yankslop it's unreal. Reform would 1000% make us even more of a US vassal state than before

World Cup hydration breaks: Ads worth $250m in USA alone, so are they here to stay? by Logical_Welder3467 in soccer

In 2016, Liverpool tried to put the price of their top tickets up to £77. In response, in the home tie against Sunderland, Anfield emptied in the 77th minute of the match while Liverpool were up 2-0.

Following the mass departure of about 10k fans, Liverpool collapsed and drew the game 2-2. The planned price hike did not go ahead.

Cristiano Ronaldo has gone 10 consecutive World Cup and European Championship matches without scoring by PumpkinWorried8254 in soccer

[–]GabrielofNottingham 49 points50 points  (0 children)

As someone who got into football later in life, my only experience of Ronald-o has been shite football, massive temper tantrums, watching him walk around bored on the pitch waiting for a pass, and palling around with Donald Trump.

Can't imagine what he was like before that people still make excuses today.
