F**k me...i stopped reading after this laughable bollocks!!

It is atrocious you are right…..

Here's some reading for you from the Boris files...about 2 years worth. 25 May 2020 Dominic Cummings refuses to resign or apologise after the Guardian and Mirror reveal his lockdown-busting trips to north-east England at the height of Covid-19. Johnson stands by his chief aide despite fury from the public, MPs and scientists. 30 July 2020 Charlie Elphicke is found guilty of three counts of sexual assault against two women, less than a year after resigning as the Conservative MP for Dover. Elphicke had denied the three charges, two of which related to a parliamentary worker. He was later sentenced to two years in prison. His wife, Natalie Elphicke, succeeded him as MP for Dover in December 2019. 25 May 2021 Rob Roberts, the Conservative MP for Delyn in north Wales, is found by parliament’s independent expert panel to have made “significant” repeated unwanted sexual advances towards a former member of staff, as well as inappropriate comments of a sexual nature. He is suspended for 12 weeks by the Conservatives but allowed to rejoin the party in October 2021. 28 May 2021 Johnson “unwisely” embarked on a £112,000 refurbishment of his official Downing Street flat without knowing how it would be paid for, according to a report by the ethics adviser Christopher Geidt. However, it later emerges that Geidt was not given crucial text messages between Johnson and the Conservative donor David Brownlow, prompting an apology from the prime minister. 26 June 2021 Matt Hancock resigns as health secretary after it emerged he broke social distancing rules by kissing his longtime friend and close aide, Gina Coladangelo, in his ministerial office. The resignation is a huge blow to the authority of Johnson, who had stood by Hancock when the story broke 24 hours earlier. 8 July 2021 Johnson is reprimanded by parliament’s committee on standards for failing to “establish the full facts” about a free holiday to a luxury villa in Mustique. The accommodation was organised by David Ross, the Tory donor and co-founder of Carphone Warehouse, after Johnson “sought and was offered” the use of Ross’s villa, the report found. 26 October 2021 The former Tory minister Owen Paterson is found by parliament’s standards watchdog to have committed an “egregious” breach of lobbying rules. Paterson repeatedly lobbied the government on behalf of two companies that were paying him more than £100,000 a year, the watchdog found. The MP, who maintained his innocence, resigns as the Conservative representative for North Shropshire in November 2021. The subsequent byelection is won by the Liberal Democrats on 16 December 2021. 10 December 2021 The former Conservative minister Andrew Griffiths is found by a high court judge to have raped his wife and subjected her to coercive control. Griffiths, who denied the allegations, had stepped down as an MP in November 2019 after a series of claims about his conduct. His wife, Kate Griffiths, who left him when the original stories broke, succeeds him as MP for Burton in Staffordshire. 18 December 2021 Simon Case, the UK’s most senior civil servant, steps down from chairing the investigation into lockdown-breaking parties in Downing Street after claims emerged he had hosted an event himself over the same period. The senior civil servant Sue Gray takes over. 6 January 2022 Johnson is revealed to have sought funds to help cover a £112,000 makeover of his Downing Street flat from a Conservative donor while promising to consider plans for a “great exhibition”. Labour accuses the prime minister of corruption, while Johnson apologises for failing to disclose crucial WhatsApp messages to his ethics adviser, Lord Geidt, the previous spring. 2 April 2022 David Warburton, the Conservative MP for Somerton and Frome, is suspended from the Tory parliamentary party after a series of allegations relating to sexual harassment and cocaine use. A investigation by Westminster’s independent complaints and grievance scheme is ongoing as of 1 July. 11 April 2022 Imran Ahmad Khan, the Conservative MP for Wakefield, is found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy after plying him with alcohol at a party in 2008. He resigns as an MP on 28 April, triggering a byelection that Labour wins on 23 June. 29 April 2022 Neil Parish, the Conservative MP for Tiverton and Honiton, resigns his seat after admitting he twice watched pornography in the House of Commons chamber. His resignation prompts a byelection that results in a decisive Liberal Democrat victory on 23 June. 17 May 2022 An unnamed Conservative MP is arrested on suspicion of rape and other sexual offences. The MP, who has not been publicly named, is ordered to stay away from Westminster while under investigation by the Metropolitan police. He remains on bail as of 1 July. 25 May 2022 Sue Gray publishes a damning report into lockdown-busting parties across Whitehall, revealing that government staff had drunken brawls, vomited and sang karaoke until dawn while the UK observed strict Covid-19 restrictions on socialising. The prime minister says he is “humbled” and “appalled” but critics doubt his contrition and calls for his resignation grow louder. 30 June 2022 Chris Pincher, the Conservative deputy chief whip, resigns after admitting he had “embarrassed myself and other people” following reports that he drunkenly groped two men at a private club. It is the second time Pincher has resigned from the whips’ office, having previously stood down in 2017 after he was reported to have made an unwanted pass at a Tory activist.

He seems to be maturing and is now referring to her as Reeves. Might need to get his blood pressure checked though

Agree …. Looking back I hadn’t realised how weak a team we had then…

He’s got his dreams, and can’t blame him for that, but those are looking as feasible as Saints getting top 2 this season and if Reform carry on sliding (5% in a 5-way picture within a month is huge) then it’s more like the odds of overhauling Coventry if it’s under their own steam. To show the scale of the task, 25% of Tory members on that party’s own private polling were willing to vote Labour in a seat where it was them v Reform. The ‘Stop Farage’ coalition is both broad, deep and far bigger than Farage’s core vote. That’s why he’s been having a meltdown at YouGov for modelling tactical voting because he knows it’s accurate.

We all have dreams…but unless the current Remain majority in the electorate between three parties Sir John Curtiss describes breaks apart, or the Tories elect a centrist leader who can siphon off some of that group (unlikely as it stands, but May might change their membership’s minds), Reform A and B won’t get sufficient seats in FPTP. They’ll do OK on popular vote but the chances of winning when Reform’s polls are sliding by 5% plus is a pipe dream. I’d love for Saints to win the play-offs, then top 10 PL and win the FA Cup next season. Is that possible, yes? Is it very realistic? No.

Are any other club doing it? We could set the trend - James Bree 6 7 6 7 6 7 with the hand movements

Such a tragic man. Fuck me

Wonder what Guly is up to. And Papa Waigo. And Taider ❤️

Tricky call on what to do with Ross at the end of the season.. on the one hand he’s a decent championship striker when fit so for no transfer fee he’s a decent option when fit on the other hand seems like he’s having issues again having a player who’s only available for a third of the matches or less isn’t great, we are woefully short of quality strikers this season . think atm for me I wouldn’t mind if we kept him around but not as first choice striker don’t mind him as a option.

The only consistent 8/10s I can think of were Toby and Virgil, even Mane, Tadic and (to an extent) Tiss blew hot and cold. Solid six and seven is probably more fruitful; Niemi, Bertrand, Fonte, Lovren, Killer, Davis, Pelle, Le Saux

Would be right up there with the Angus Gunn baby shark song.

I think not appointing a mate of a nonce as US ambassador would have been one thing I may have wanted by now. Perhaps not having an MP beat up a constituent, isn’t unreasonable. After spending hours criticising the tories for cronyism maybe having a rich donor buy the PM’s Mrs’ clothes and taking truck load of freebies should have been avoided . I think everyone accepts increasing NI on business was a mistake and has driven up unemployment. So from the first budget it’s been obvious Reeves is out of her depth. The economy will take years to turn round, but decisions they made, have made it even longer. You couldn’t make it up, The minister in charge of housing, resigned over property taxes, the anti corruption minister resigned over… corruption. The transport minister resigned over a stolen phone, (another one). Surely, thinking they wouldn’t be as bad as the Tories isn’t unreasonable. When the simple truth is they’ve been just as incompetent, just as sleazy, just as fucking useless. The only difference is The Tories took a few years to get there, these chumps have done it in double quick time. As this is a reform thread, I look forward to you giving Nigel a similar amount of time when he rides into town, to clear up The Uniparty mess

Surely we can get this going at SMS

Forecast was so god damn slow getting to the ball 😂 Was great seeing Lambert and Barnard up top again.

If we’re talking championship level then Breezer is a solid 6-7 every week. Never going to set the world alight but just gets on with it and does a job.

If a player was 8 out of 10 every week they wouldn’t be at Saints very long 😂😂 don’t you mean more like 6-7 every week? Solid, steady rarely had a bad game, some times good

Forecast replaced Kelvin Davis a few weeks ago. Apparently he's a roofer in the local area now

I wish we were Saints Legends.

Sold out!

Probably the first time some of them have seen Man Utd play live

What is the colour like on yours? Some I've seen on DHgate look a slightly deeper yellow than the genuine article.
