Obviously he's so unpopular already that it barely matters, but you do wonder how many people read this stuff and go “the PM sounds like that absolute p***k I used to work for” and how damaging that could be
What gets me is that there are no qualifying adjectives used for No.10 to get pedantic over at a later date (”he didn't say no pressure, he said no *undue* pressure”). This is black and white.
Either he fluffed a pre-rehearsed talking point or he's completely in denial
I did consider an option 3 of “Rosenior and SDs stay until 2030 but BlueCo sell the club”
I've seen some people say that gerrymandering in North Carolina and Wisconsin has been so extreme that it's left the GOP vulnerable to a blue wave producing very lopsided results against them, because their vote is too thinly spread
Yeah I think it's not impossible that either the GOP says fine we'll pass a law banning gerrymandering or that the Supreme Court changes its mind and says gerrymandering is unconstitutional
Can’t wait for the “Keir Starmer now squats like a giant toad across British politics” posts
I was 11 (and already unbearable) when Abramovich bought Chelsea and I was so outraged at other people at school saying they were now Chelsea fans that I spent a decent portion of 03/04 pretending I’d abandoned Chelsea and was now a Man U fan
(My mum is a lifelong Chelsea fan and so were her parents, before the glory hunting accusations come in)
I get that pain second hand through my dad and brother, who are Colchester United fans
If necromancy is an option, clearly we have to go for Butch
Separate to the hypotheticals, I have occasionally wondered if I had the opportunity to get rid of just one, who would it be? It’s not just Stewstanley btw, when I say SDs I’m including Shields
Ahh you want a former no.2 to come back? Say no more. Does anyone have the number of Henk ten Cate’s agent?
The caveat is you're trusting BlueCo to get it right on their second go of it
Many are now looking up 'how to establish a Shogunate'
If you do, please use some variation of “oh you think we’re getting worse? So how do you explain that Pedro Neto had 4 premier league goals last season but this season he has 5? Mic drop!”
If you need a distraction, how about this hypothetical:
Option 1: Rosenior is replaced by your 1st choice, SDs stay but say “we know things aren’t working and we’ll modify our approach”
Option 2: all SDs leave, BlueCo says model will change radically, but Rosenior stays until at least end of 26/27
This is another of your “do you people just not know how the private sector operates?” moments. Giving your mate a cushy job they’re not qualified for is HUGELY problematic in the private sector!
God can you *imagine* the reaction to a Chelsea fan saying that at the moment? It would break some kind of record for pile ons
The men's team will be playing there if/when we get relegated to the championship
A secret, third Miliband
Because of woke
Thank goodness the DCMS secretary is on the ball
“Things will improve as soon as everyone stops being mean to me”
It was so obvious he should have just stayed at Strasbourg, he was building a good reputation there. Now he’s totally discredited
Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.
She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.
It’s missing the War Columbo
I do feel sorry for him, because this job has basically ruined his career in management and he really seems like a decent person.
But he really ought to have known better. He made his choice
I wrote about the Olympics’ ban on trans women competing, and the stakes of the new women’s sex-testing regime for female athletes, trans and cis alike. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
When I was 10, the Sunday league team I played for lost nearly a quarter of our matches by double figures (4 out of 18), I was second highest scorer with two goals, and our only win all season was because the other team didn’t turn up and forfeited.
That team would have beaten Chelsea at the moment
Chelsea fans experiencing unprecedented levels of oh my god we suck so fucking much
