Log on. Read thread. “You've chosen to ignore content by <person on ignore>”. Click to read content anyway. Take person previously on, to off ignore. Respond by badly written text to said person. Smile to self. Put person back on ignore. Repeat many times, daily. Apparently.

Same, my parents both read the Mail and the Telegraph, tbf they’ve voted Tory in the past but typically go Lib Dem. If I’m over there at the weekend I’ll sometimes have a read of the sport in the Mail on Sunday but tbh it’s gotten much more bland than I remember it being. Telegraph sport section I find alright. The front pages of both are to be avoided though, so over the top political partisanship. i genuinely can’t remember the last time I bought a newspaper for myself. Probably would’ve been about 15 years ago when on holiday, pre smart phone era and trying to catch up on summer football transfers while sat on the beach.

Not sure on your spelling there, chief 👍

No problem. Here’s another one. From 2 months ago. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67039975 “Hamas, which the US, UK, Israel and many other nations have designated as a terrorist organisation, continued to fire rockets into Israel.“ But yeah, let’s stick with it. Why don’t the BBC say terrorist? It’s truly a mystery.

Agreed. Juric was on a hiding to nothing but fuck me, it’s hard to justify his lineups and formations.

They do. Here’s their director general Tim Davie saying so a couple of years ago https://www.ft.com/content/20b5466e-d690-4e00-828e-5f364e22f1c5 “He said the broadcaster would instead continue to describe the group as a terrorist organisation proscribed by the UK government and others, or simply as Hamas.”

Nobody is going to convince you of anything, you’re about the most entrenched in their own opinion of about anyone I’ve ever seen on this forum.

Watching lighthouse windmilling all over the place will never get old 👍

I don’t think singling out Ramsdale for that money is the way to go. Not spending £25M on Archer and BBD is a better analogy.

Downes is on the bench.

We’re not on the main bored any more. And I agree. I think the BBC is great value for the cost of a licence fee. I also think that it should be optional and not mandatory, broadcasting has moved on a ridiculous amount since the concept of a licence fee was introduced. Edit, sorry, misread it, yes it’s a deviation from the main thread subject.

Just realised this thread is on the main board ffs

I always laugh when I read rubbish like this. It’s the same when those of left wing persuasion accuse the BBC of having a right wing bias. Truth is they get it about correct. If anything I’d say their political shows edge more the right, given they have (had) ardent Tories in Kuennsberg and Andrew Neill, plus Robbie Gibb pulling the strings. But then you also have the likes of Nick Robinson who is a Tory through and through yet one of the most impartial presenters going. If both sides are constantly moaning about your “bias” you’re probably doing something right. And you don’t have to be a leftie to realise that Trump is a disaster of a man and outcome.

Williams was my favourite. Mills was quality 😪

Thats one of the most middle class things I’ve ever read on this forum.

It’s a concern but there’s nothing we can do about it if a better club come calling. We’ll be in the Championship. And hopefully, if someone notices him it’ll mean it’s because he’s done well with us. So we’ll have benefitted, if only in the short term. Or he could do a Joe Shields / Jason Wilcox, have an average recruitment summer then get poached by someone massive.

But he is not he. Gotcha.

They can charge all they like. They’re in 17th position and have 10 games left to make up 13 points on WBA who are in sixth place.

No mate. Formations are entirely irrelevant apparently.

I can’t stand the geezer but I love what Space X is doing. Tesla can get in the bin though.

Fonte is probably the exact opposite of a cheapskate deal, commensurate to where we were at the time of signing him.

Looking forward to the hilarious quip about “Rachel from accounts” 🤣🤣 gets me every time that one.

Quite interested to hear which publications and periodicals I should be paying attention to if MSM is such a no go.
