Better stop singing WLADITT then 😬

No one is talking about replacing the Sky Blue Song. And I’d argue that having used Mr Blue Sky on and off for what 20+ years makes it *us*

Why? Culture is hard to define concretely. I could give you a million examples like the four I already have, the point is that in aggregate a set of unspoken rules about how we interact with each other makes interacting easier and less stressful. Take the example of language, at its face...

I just find it tiresome when people usually on the left pretend British culture doesn’t exist but every other country’s does. Then do what you’re doing and demand an itemised list they can shoot down one by one to prove their point. Every group of people has a culture. Go on a local Facebook...

Yeah when I posted the tea graph I almost posted church attendance too, and again that’s something recent immigrants tend to be propping up as native brits move away from it.

Let’s not do this. Every country has a culture. You might not recognise it because you exist within it but it’s very obvious to people moving here there are thousands of unspoken rules and customs. We can joke about drinking tea but it’s a whole load of little things. Queuing, not bartering, not...

I do think in some cultures this idea doesn’t work where for example women are expected not to work and exist almost entirely in their local communities. It tended to be Asian women who couldn’t speak English in my experience because they were SAHM and their husband did all the interacting with...

Not having any of this woke gentlemen’s agreement nonsense. Sign him today. Play him Saturday, he can not celebrate when we win if he wants to show his respects.

Much prefer Mr Blue Sky TBH but maybe it just cemented itself at the right time in my early years watching City. Can never listen to it without adding in an announcer reading out players in my head.

I do think having English as the world language is a double edged sword here. Firstly it means here is going to be first choice for a lot of immigrants who couldn’t get to America or Australia (so most immigrants), but it also means most people speak our language. My GFs parents get really...

You’d still have to explain why we’re the only ones to not manage to find an appropriate player

The birth rate didn’t start dropping under the Tories. We’re actually doing better than a lot of western nations I believe but it’s been a while since I checked the stats.

Look id just woken up allow me some bad mental maths 😂

The nice thing about schools is non English speaking parents usually come with an English speaking translator (their kid). I can remember one kid who I taught in ten years who couldn’t understand English. That was a German girl who for six months said she needed her mate to translate for her...

£43m/year, if your figures are correct, is a tiny amount of money. We spent 1.2tn a year and £181bn a year on the NHS alone. Probably far less than the wage cost of extra hours spent on patients misunderstanding staff. You’re often conveying complex medical terms that need to be precisely...

1-2 years 🤣 How about you prove you can play 90 mins first mate.

Players are banned for saying in private another player is a c**t? I doubt that. And they’re banned from performance enhancing drugs it’s just a witch hunt man. He said online about booking someone and then booked him. People need to chill out. The standards we hold celebrities to just because...

Still think this is a cunty mate story more than anything. Blokes allowed to get wrecked and vent in his time off FFS a d yes even suck a few cocks while at it. Who gives a fuck? If he’s interfered in an actual game that’s one thing but this is tabloid gossip bollocks mostly.

Any player who willingly dives into the shithole that is any fans discussion deserves everything they get. If any of you are reading this: log off and spend your fat wedge on hookers and blow and leave us to it. We’re all idiots.

Just pokes you in the back, it’s not a massage at all. And as for the happy ending…
