Wish we still had him for the championship. Also annoying by the time we go down we don’t have the likes of a boufal type, who could easily do a ‘taarabt’ and turn over the championship taking the piss every game. These two players were stand out whenever we played a lower league team in the cup.

Why is the police officer just standing there listening to her speech, so odd.

i’m not even on twitter and yet still hate these ITK accounts.

idk, what’s cuco martina up to?

Happy with Bree at rb. KWP looked like he didn’t want to be here last season so can’t imagine he wants to play for us now.

i’ve heard they’re having a really good transfer window signing some players who should have been given a chance in the championship.

There is a god, makes it even more funny we had to put up with one year of ‘and we’ve got livramento’ shite without him even playing only for him leave 😂

Vegard Forren

his scouse may as well be arabic. Salum Alaykum yeaaah course

Is it really that bad? Whenever I watch Saudi “Vlogs” (for want of a better name) the people who go there always say despite Saudi getting a bad media reputation it’s really not all too bad. Though they are tourists and only stay there for a bit. Especially can’t be bad on Mitros next wage.

Agreed but at least its sugarcoated in a way which keeps some dignity. “I love this league it’s the best in the world, i’ve joined such a big club”. In saudi they say “I love this money it’s so much money, such a big big club and money”. I don’t blame them as i’d do the same thing, I just find it funny.

Football was already dead but this inflicts it further into the red of moral bankruptcy. Remember the hero’s welcome Mitrovic got from Fulham fans at St Marys after he came back from injury? Now he’s swapped that for a good old fashioned oil money pay check

Hi mate, thanks for the reply. Yes, I still think the best way to work about it is the councillor route or I could potentially ask about opportunities at constituency office. I have asked my local MP at home if he has any work experience / internships over the summer, though that was 2 months ago and he never replied to my email. I only go to uni in Winchester so I have been to a few events, canvassed, handed out MP newsletters and been a teller at the local elections there. So overall on that front I still think the shadowing of an MP is a no go unless you fully know the MP of which I have no great connections with any. In terms of your question on MP meetings with society’s, that is still a thing but I think it depends on the size of said society and I see on twitter ministers only really go to the main universities. The only real way to meet them is through dinners organised by the main association. As for local MPs in my area, they are more likely to go to Barton Peveril college than to the universities. The political societies are very small compared to what i’m guessing it used to be like, and so youth wings are usually hard to set up, as we have found (although I hear the Southampton inner city youth wings of the tory party is going fairly strong). I’ve decided i’m going to try and complete an ACCA course in between my uni work to give me an alternative course of action either way. I don’t want to be an MP tbh as politics is very toxic as I have already found and the party overall has deselected people of my type of politics (they’re pushing further towards the right it seems), but a job in politics outside of full public scope would be decent for me.

Same, I missed out through not being able to switch accounts on 'family' to the one with a season ticket 🤦‍♂️. Hopefully they give us more tickets as we've taken 2,400 when i've just typed up it holds around 3,700.

No. It's a bit frustrating because last year I fell into a politics degree that although I enjoy it; it is basically worthless without interships / work experience of which there are barely any opportunities and local MPs don't help with this either. Also apologies for the (sort of) off topic post

Does anyone here have any advice or experience in gaining work experience or an internship in politics?

It gets even more weird

I don’t think we should be spending £20m on one player in the championship. Surely the black box has got someone somewhere who can score 25 in the champ, they’ve been looking for premier league quality for so many years.

As an avid reader of these posts, I almost always understand and sometimes agree with what you say until you try and link it to some whataboutism subject which has no correlation. ie with Palestine, where I agree with you, but leave yourself no favours by bringing in antisemitism before anyone’s even mentioned it. And here you make good points on climate change then somehow ruin it at the end by finding a link between climate deniers and not liking jeremy corbyn and LGBTQ?

Any ideas who Aribo fanatic Dez footie is on about? Apparently it’s SaintRob. i’m #TeamRob for this one, can’t call anyone an egghead when they think Aribo is the second coming of messi, let alone supporting Mason Greenwood.

Yes it’s very frustrating that we’re stuck with Paul Holmes provided he wins as I believe he is a terrible MP. Pretty confident Lib Dem’s will win here though.

Lyanco is honestly so poor. He’s lucky he gets pumped up otherwise he’d be playing for the likes of Pompey or Goztepe. Terrible on the ball, worst positioning i’ve ever seen in an outfield player. Going by the friendlies look forward to at least 3 Lyanco caused clear cut chances for the opposition per game. Rubbish.

I think he wouldn’t be terrible to keep as a backup. At least he looks suited to the style of football we are trying, he dosent do much other than quick passing but he’s doing what the supposed style demands of him.

He was necessity not luxury. Every time he didn’t play we’d lose, every time he was subbed off we were much worse and would lose.

oh sh*t yeah, I forgot he was Scottish
