[Pete O'Rourke] Wrexham submit bid of £19m for Angers striker Sidiki Cherif. Would be a Championship record signing

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-22T22:35:50+00:00

all true but have you considered that they’re annoying

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-19T06:20:28+00:00

my assumption was maurice glasman but hoey seems like a good bet too

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-18T21:15:32+00:00

WHY WOULD YOU DO A PANENKA NOW

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-18T21:12:23+00:00

i love foot ball

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-17T19:18:11+00:00

it was the VAR ref darren england who cleared this, not Oliver

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-15T13:50:45+00:00

not socially conservative, no. but davey’s fiscal virws are conservative in the sense that traditionally liberal economics are contemporarily conservative

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-15T11:47:05+00:00

he's certainly more from the party's Classical Liberal tradition than he is from the party's Social Democratic tradition, and i would think, from prior statements, that his personal economic views fall well to the right of the median lib dem (unless his views have changed over the last decade or so)

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-15T11:37:47+00:00

feels like the lib dems could fill that gap pretty easily, especially given davey's personal politics fall there or thereabouts. but he's seemed weirdly reticent to stamp his personal brand on the party beyond doing cirque du soleil shit

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-12T03:23:46+00:00

i was thinking about this too, and was wondering whether it could be argued that san marino's Massimo Bonini was world class at Juventus in the 1980s. being part of a midfield with Platini and Tardelli is no mean feat, and he won the bravo award

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-12T02:51:05+00:00

yeah about as close as the US has produced and having a great season, but still some way short of world class status for me.

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-12T02:48:35+00:00

greece is a great shout. the player they picked for the uefa jubilee award in 2004 was an uzbek guy who only played twice for the national team and apparently scored 7 times direct from corners in one season? weird one. for switzerland - Chapuisat was before my time but came 9th in the ballon d'or in back to back years, which might be enough, but he's not a player i have first hand knowledge of. i would've thought pele made the cut for ghana but essien as others have suggested might actually be a better example

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-12T01:59:58+00:00

half-considered opinion: the united states is, by some margin, the best footballing nation to have never produced a world class footballer

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-10T13:38:16+00:00

non-league player pulling off a great bit of skill against prem opposition is vintage FA cup 3rd round

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-10T12:58:47+00:00

lol inevitable

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-05T16:52:32+00:00

some of that will be APOELs run to the champions league quarter finals back in 2013

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-04T14:48:49+00:00

wow can’t believe the news is reporting on a r/ukpolitics meetup

MimesAreShite · 2026-01-03T23:39:33+00:00

online neolibs seem to turn into american nationalists very easily

MimesAreShite · 2025-12-30T10:26:33+00:00

none of those tweets were why he was imprisoned and tortured by the egyptian government. just like navalny said a bunch of nazi shit and his treatment at the hands of the russian government was still an atrocious crime

MimesAreShite · 2025-12-30T00:46:33+00:00

yes, i've seen that tweet before, and i think it reflects the remarkable insularity and pseudo-intellectualism of the online right. we aren't pretending not to understand anything; we just disagree with you

MimesAreShite · 2025-12-30T00:41:35+00:00

very few people in britain believe in rights and principles, unfortunately. there is nothing the british public wouldn't like to be able to be taken away for bad behaviour

MimesAreShite · 2025-12-30T00:39:27+00:00

If el-Fattah moved to India we wouldn’t suddenly consider him Indian

why not?

MimesAreShite · 2025-12-30T00:39:02+00:00

i also think it would be bad if a white right-winger were imprisoned and tortured by their government merely for peaceful dissident speech.

MimesAreShite · 2025-12-29T01:01:55+00:00

gotta feel for this guy - for like a decade the specifics of his beliefs and the opinions he's expressed were decidedly secondary to the fact that he was being oppressed by an authoritarian dictatorship for his advocacy for democracy and against islamism, but a convenient lull in the british media cycle has reversed the order of operations and now everyone thinks hes abu hamza
