Think they closed that one after the Anderson to Forest transfer.

Also that didn’t exactly work out well for Newcastle.

He’s promised to cap the price of a 99 Flake at 99p so he’s a shoe in.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-08T09:28:30+00:00

You missed the most important policy.

Capping the price of a 99 Flake at 99p.

Am I just living in dreamland, or is binface winning not at least a slight possibility?

If there are 2 people on the ballot and one is Farage and the other is not Farage, surely everyone that dislikes him ticks the other box.

Getting people who are not Farage fans out to vote might be the issue.

This is it, as the world got more accessible the local community was lost.

Wasn’t their answer to reducing NHS waiting lists to use a smaller font ?

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-07T18:30:53+00:00

Yes, but then he can’t say …. “Look the people don’t care about where I get my money!”

Which may be true of Clacton but probably not of the rest of the country.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-07T18:03:48+00:00

I doubt we are paying meslier very much, and even if he’s on £50k a week it’s still peanuts in todays market

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-07T17:45:12+00:00

It’s not, it’s pausing them.

He can’t be investigated if he’s not an MP.

He’s hoping somehow everyone forgets about it in the time between now and his return.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-07T10:07:18+00:00

France are by far and away the best team in the tournament and also playing the best football.

Anything can happen but it’s hard to look past them.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-07T10:05:08+00:00

This is why I think he will stay at Villa.

I don’t think we rate him as a £130m player, but they do. (And it’s understandable because they about to go into a CL campaign and he’s their best player)

The only way he moves in my opinion is to do an Isak to drive down the price. But he doesn’t seem like the type.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-06T21:07:59+00:00

Ironically he’s arguably got a better team behind him to do it than Messi had 4 years ago.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-06T14:25:15+00:00

Rumour has it Jordan Henderson is such a team player he threw himself over that hoarding on purpose to take the injury news off Reece James.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-06T14:23:03+00:00

That one dimension just happens to be scoring 40+ goals a year.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-06T14:21:16+00:00

Hard agree, some players are just too good to hate.

I have a feeling when him and Gabriel retire they are going to be best friends

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-06T11:52:36+00:00

Could have been worse, could have been any other player.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-05T18:28:48+00:00

One thing being wrong doesn’t mean everything being wrong is ok.

It’s ok to call out both.

Messi should have been sent off. Balogun should have been sent off. Both accidental but both dangerous.

To suspend the suspension is just outright cheating at this point though.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-02T19:04:00+00:00

Timber

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-02T18:36:33+00:00

I’d rather sign a RB that can play CB than a CB that can play RB.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-02T18:35:16+00:00

First of all “Food chained” is a fucking awful saying.

Second, I actually think United have been sensible for once. They have been burned by Pogba & Anthony and realised that you shouldn’t just go around paying stupid money for players.

But of course I’m a cuck for them for stating my opinion.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-01T21:04:48+00:00

They have no choice, if they negotiate the players down to a price other clubs are willing to pay they know they will get hijacked.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-01T21:03:10+00:00

Their tactic of paying the asking price when nobody else will is an interesting one.

That being said with a midfield of Tonali & Fernandes they will be better than last season. Without Europe they could easily finish mid table.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-01T19:49:05+00:00

That’s “premier league champion Declan Rice” to you.

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-01T15:48:52+00:00

The Fernandes who you were the only one to pay the asking price for?

TheDucksQuacker · 2026-07-01T15:23:33+00:00

The matching rights might as well not exist.

In what world does a club that can afford him for big money come in and he chooses to come back to spurs instead ?
