Worth a punt, there was obviously a good player in there somewhere. I can't wish the bloke ill, I doubt he's taken us for millions. I hope he gets himself sorted out and makes a life for himself even if it's not in football. He might well be better off outside the pressures of the game, who knows.

Bleak reading, some parts of this thread. The last thing we need is pissed-up/coked-up dickheads being egged on or justified by our own supporters. Let's be clear here, the people involved in this shouldn't be encouraged in any way. They're just wrecking the day for the rest of us who want to...

Because you know you're talking bollocks, so you've bottled it. There is no evidence whatsoever for your utter bullshit. Fuck off and troll on Facebook, loser, I've just shown you for what you are.

I'm not quite sure where you're going with this. Is there a suggestion that because we're testing more it's somehow influencing the number of people getting ill and/or dying from Covid? That seems illogical. Here are the figures for people dying of Covid in the last seven days (I've gone for...

What's bollocks is your complete ignorance. Try reading it again... here's the magic phrase that shoots down your ludicrous comparison to flu... The death rate among COVID-19 patients was 18.5%, while it was 5.3% for those with the flu. Those with COVID were nearly five times more likely to...

No it really isn't. You are absolutely and completely making shit up, presumably because you don't want to suffer any personal inconvenience. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20201218/covid-19-is-far-more-lethal-damaging-than-flu-data-shows Who's the real baby here? There are some people whose...

It's funny isn't it. If you're going to vote Brexit to make the country a better, stronger place that "stands in the world on its own two feet", "British jobs for British people", etc. etc., then I'd have thought food security and keeping our farmers and fishermen employed would be fairly key...

1. Until now I didn't see you stepping up to complain about the 'kitchen' jokes. So unless I missed it you didn't say anything until the joke was turned back on men. Interesting that. In my book, if you walk by it, you stand by it. 2. Two pithy comments don't even start to address the issue...

Good point, but it might be a bit ambitious for them *all* to chip in tonight. I'm listening on the radio, but will be happy to offer my unvarnished opinions regardless. :)

A fair point, but look at it this way. As a white, middle aged dad, the stereotype which gets a few laughs is that of an overweight, bumbling, clumsy buffoon with no culture and who can't be trusted around fragile objects or alcohol. It doesn't help that I fit that stereotype rather neatly, but...

It is. I suspect every culture has its 'Irish' jokes. That doesn't make it right though. I don't think Irish jokes hold as much power now as they did over here because it's widely known that those of Irish descent are obviously better educated and better looking than most of the locals. :)...

Interesting point this. I'm not saying you're wrong, but there are kind of two aspects to this joke... The first is it's a reversal of an old saying, "The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach". We're back on women cooking with that one, and there's no equivalent saying for...

Which brings to mind a great retort from Jo Brand... "The quickest way to a man's heart is straight through his chest with a carving knife."

It just doesn't fit in with Boris's boosterism, Torchy. It's a simple as that imho. He can't bear a bad news story unless it's something he can blame on someone else. There's never been a PM (or cabinet) less fit for office. We may or may not have to learn to live with Covid, but there's no...

Can't entirely blame him, at his peak he was some player. Niggly, but skilful, and certainly good at his job. He'd be worth a few bob in today's game.

Kind of a pity, I wonder if it's a drinking/bravado thing. I'm sure I've heard him on the radio before and he's come across quite well (in a "professional northerner" sort of way). Ho hum, he's at least been man enough to apologise, which he deserves some credit for...

What are you actually grumbling about mate? Can you write in actual sentences, because it's really hard to understand what you're on about. You might have a point, but it's rather lost in your incoherence I'm afraid to say. Save the emojis for the eight year olds, and make your point - if...

This thread's worth it just for the HH centre-parting. :) And I'd agree, I've always had a good time in Liverpool, (and Newcastle, and Bristol, Sheffield, etc etc.). Personal opinion: Take people as you find them, make a few jokes at your own and your own team's expense, and you tend to...

I'm not quite with you. Are you upset that Speedie (whom I loved as a player, still do), is challenged on a pretty daft statement? That doesn't upset me, it reassures me. This sort of claptrap, much like racism, deserves to be called out. If it isn't challenged it just keeps going and then even...

Sounds like hell. 🙂
