The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?
Holmes_and_Watson replied to sadoldgit's topic in The Lounge
From Beeb... " I mean, the population of the UK was 58 million in 2020, now it's 70 million. That's 12 million people." However, data from the Office for National Statistics estimates, external that the UK's population in mid-2025 was 69.4 million, compared with 66.7 million in mid-2020. So, he's not far off the current population. He's out a fair bit on 2020. But would only have to go back a bit to make the same points. Considering all the other, far more objectionable things he said, calling him out on the figures seems odd. I'd have thought Starmer would be better served trying to recall how many others with links to child abuse he's endorsed, rather than try and deflect onto someone sharing his views. -
Jamie Jones - Official - Signs until end of the season
Holmes_and_Watson replied to goodymatt's topic in The Saints
In one of my local, far from league football games, our 'keeper blindly passed out from a pass back. Had he looked, and hit the ball more than half way, he'd have noticed his full back taking a drink and finishing a chat with the manager. Needless to say, it got intercepted, they scored and we lost the game. That was a few seasons back, and none of those involved, including the manager, were long for the club. One of the most infuriating goals I've watched. So like us to sign the professional equivalent. -
Desperate to show that race never enters his head, SOG falls straight into the colourblindness is racism trap. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/culturally-speaking/201112/colorblind-ideology-is-form-racism Embrace multiculturalism SOG, instead of worrying over which bandwagon to jump on.

EFL to vote on extending the Championship playoffs
Holmes_and_Watson replied to badgerx16's topic in The Saints
I'm all for a trial run this season, extending right down to wherever we finish. Then dump it for future seasons (unless we're outside the top 6 again). 🙂 I don't think I was in favour of the play-offs in the first place. Get promoted, on merit, in third! -
I was worried his wheezing was the onset of respiratory failure. Imagine your last moments are being a sulky moron on TikTok.

I was wondering how much more fulfilling my life would have been, if I'd chucked it after the Tranmere game. 🙂 The guy on not long after suggested closing the club down.

Proof that SOG pays little attention to ads. As shown, he instead stares into the middle distance thinking of his mixed race barmaid.

I think there were some figures going around (no idea the source or agenda if any of it), to demonstrate that. I rarely watch TV, and skip half times etc. So, ages can go past in between me seeing adverts. It was very obvious to me, after such a gap, that there was a large shift in the ethnic mix in the people in the ads. An ad makers dream of appealing to as many demographics as possible. Observational without saying it's good, bad or of no interest. And without conveniently hiding behind anything.

With that kind of high ceiling, SR will be making him our number one for next season. "He leapt up the ranks last season" , said Rasmus, delighted not to be bothered with looking or listening. 🙂 -
Just taking advantage of our "lucky" win to move us up on my Shoot! Wallchart until I grow up. 🙂

Perhaps it was the time to move on from possession based football.
