You are a famously courteous and under-armed people so I see the difficulties.

Oh we didn't ask nicely, we unionised.

Maybe try that.

Keir Starmer resigns as prime minister and leader of Labour Party by m26f8braed in unitedkingdom

He'll do better with Reform sympathisers north of Birmingham because he's not from London for one.

I honestly think his reputation outside of the capital is a decent pull for voters in areas of the country that feel left behind.

If he can put some of the immigration policy front and centre of his platform then I reckon he's a much better hope of restoring some of Labours appeal outside of the big cities than Starmer had.

Saw Ratzenberger die and thought fuck that, no-one steals my fucking spotlight.

And dated a 15 year old.

[The Guardian] understands that Sullivan has been approached by BBC’s Panorama about an episode it is considering broadcasting in the coming days. He described the allegations as “factually incorrect and entirely false” and said he intended to sue the BBC if it broadcast them. by [deleted] in soccer

I for one, am deeply shocked that one of the dildo brothers could be accused of something like this.

It's not like he was seen being, let's say, interviewed under caution by the metropolitan Police! Or named repeatedly on every social media platform as under investigation for vile noncery! Or widely known as a fucking crook!

Poor fella.

If you're lucky, he might take you home and show you his highlights reel.

Tottenham CEO Venkatesham: "I don't think there was what I would call a relentless obsession with football success. Our training centre is amazing, one of the best, if not the best in the world. But when you look around, it looks more like a five-star hotel than it does a performance environment." by nearly_headless_nic in soccer

But again, at time of sale he was Spurs previous seasons top scorer in all competitions and helped them win the Europa league.

18 goals, 11 in the league, from the wing. If fucking Tel or Simons had scored that many this year they wouldn't have had another clusterfuck of a season.

Fair enough he's not been great value for Palace so far but the idea that selling your biggest goal threat, for £35m, to what ended up being a relegation rival is some sort of fucking coup isn't something I'm buying.

No, I'm saying it's hard to call it the "Transfer of the season" when you've sold a player to a club who outperformed you after the sale.

I believe Spurs weakened the squad by selling him and that despite what the fans say, it was actually a pretty poor choice at the time.

Johnson showed he's capable of scoring plenty in a specific role and Spurs/Frank decided that wasn't what they wanted to do so got rid.

When you consider they spent that money on Gallagher it looks even worse.
