Ah, that explains it... I like that as well, it’s one of those words that sounds like what it means

dugout - that’s because it’s supposed to be excoriate 🤪

OI - exactly - Johnson (which I assume is your "freezer" point) is absolutely a "politician like Starmer" and will be similarly insulated from hearing opinions outside the mainstream - I think that all politicians do their best to avoid contact with the public.

Shame this cunt was allowed in apub today [Link]

criticise severely

Had to look 'excorciate' up 'cos it sounded like a good word.... but i am none the wiser...

Good and poignant message from the club.

I advocate more socialism across the board. I repeat what Jagger once said in the sixties in that once you are taking home £200/month then any more will make no difference to your life. At the moment capitalism dominates socialism. Society is better with more balance.

It is interesting how many people believe in socialism in football yet excorciate it in the wider world.

God Bless America

Great statement from Lincoln on the European Super League: [Link]

It’s been a lovely day to be a part owner of a fan-owned football club 🤗

IpswichTown American owner said he bought the club without visiting Portman Road. Are they all smelling blood.

I'm no fan of Mourinho but if it came down to a choice between him or Levy having principles about ESL, I'd come down on the side of Mourinho.

Arsenal Fan TV mentioned AFC Wimbledon as a beacon of hope for themselves . They are beginning to feel the shaft put inside them.

SA I know it's the owners, that's the thing, this is the end point of selling football clubs in countries where sports clubs are totally based on regional, local and fan base/loyalty/connection, to people who have no concept of this whatsoever.

It’s time to Nationalise Football .. pass a law. Set the rules for our National Game. Give Football as a gift to the masses, let the players chasing money go overseas.

Luckily for Mourinho we will never quite know if his firing was because he is not so special after all, or whether he actually had a principled stance on the super league.

lurker - it's the owners calling the shots. They want to make themselves more money. They aren't interested in the paying supporters one jot. They think that if the current fans walk away, then there wuill be coachloads of other people who will turn up to the stadium to watch (if that matters in the financial analysis). Players who would rather leave their club in order to play for their country should be allowed to walk away and sign for another club for no fee or compensation to the club. It's not as if the players are responsible for the situation, it'll be a bit like a Bosman that bites the big clubs on the arse rather than the smaller clubs! Karma if you like ;-)

So proud to be supporting a Fans owned club .. have been listening to the mass grief of some of the YouTube Premiership forums. It is akin North Korea mass crying.

sorry if AR but "apparently" Mourinho going was about him not agreeing with Spurs jumping to the super league and it seems Klopp has history in the past of saying he's totally against it so there's rumours he'll walk.

Good to see norcott representing the womble cause on BT most weeks, where hell did 12 goals come from, mark the merton mouriniho hahaha but still has a job and like by players

The point he made well and to which the decimated Labour Party have zero response is how shit they are in opposition. Sir Kier couldn’t hold a paper bag up for inspection.

Bit of rabbit holing from Spit's link I came across this and wtf??? [Link] WARNING - disturbing/graphic content - do not view if you're sensitive or don't want to just give up on humanity.

The point is Labour could've taken a different path, cf. Andy Burnham's 'Evil Tories killing Manchester business' line of attack. Starmer boxed himself into a corner where he can't lay a glove.
