Gloucester Saint

Probably left back who posted on here at the time. Was suspected to be Wally Downes but rumoured that Pardew himself and some of the players used the account too. It was none too complimentary about Les. ‘Oaf’ was one word used.

Narcissistic right down to his bone spurs.

Like the UK, what the electorate and press owned by oligarchs want are quite different.

Yep, looking better today than had been forecast https://weather.metoffice.gov.uk/forecast/gcwfhjjxu#?date=2026-04-13

They’re even lower than us on that.

The Trump before Trump (Bannon) conceded the Hungarian election. Huge setback for Trump and Vance’s hard right populism movement considering how much they invested in trying to keep him in power. Huge blow for Putin as Orbán was buying large quantities of Russian gas to help fund his Ukrainian war. Leaves Slovakia all on their own aligned to Putin and harder to hold up joint action against Russia.

Romero substituted with a face like a smacked arse. The non penalty was weird first half, Spurs forward Tolo was appealing for a corner and the ref was the only person in the stadium to spot a foul. VAR for once chalked off the clear and obvious blooper.

Sunderland leading Spurs through a deflected goal.

Nearing 300 lead but with the forecast need to up the scoring and get them in.

Gateway was a crap supermarket tbf.

This is pure Hitler/Stalin/totalitarian dictator architecture https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwywre1e3kvo

Didn’t realise Guido Carrillo was back in town. Kind of him to give you a lift.

Steve Bannon refers to him as Trump before Trump. He’s a prototype of far right populism in Europe which had spread further https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04/09/europe/orban-hungary-election-trump-ally-intl Orban’s rule is also a disturbing preview of what a Reform government would be like under Farage, Braverman and Tice.

Yorks finished 48-4, Wharton went for another 🦆 Baker ripping through their top order with 3-16. Abbott got the ball rolling bowling Finlay Bean for 1. Yusuf yet to make a breakthrough but good economy and ditto Jack with his 5 overs. Their batting is also shallow without Bairstow so need to press home an advantage first hour tomorrow. George Hill, who took a 5-for earlier at 7 and Bess as high as 8. Bit of rain of early morning but should be clear enough for a 10.30 start and forecast set fair, if not that warm, for the rest of the game.

Night watchman Coad 0, 37-3.
