    I'll quote (and slightly rephrase) somebody else, because I think it hits hard (and is often ignored):

     

    Barack Obama had Osama bin Laden killed, no congressional approval.

    Barack Obama invaded Libya. The opposition kills Gaddafi, no approval.

    Joe Robinette Biden had the Al-Qaeda leader killed in 2022. No congressional approval.

     

    Trump swoops in and brings Maduro to the US, alive. Democrats and their lackeys go crazy.

     

    On yet another sidenote: It was the Biden administration that initially put out a 15 million Dollar bounty on Maduro. The Trump administration upped it to 25, then 50 million USD last year.

     

    Yeah because Maduro and ****ing bin Laden are the same lol

    If I've missed any, let me know:

    • Signing a load of dross under Sven (to be fair they saw the error of their ways here and re-appointed Pearson)
    • Promoting Jon Rudkin to DoF
    • The quickly reversed 'sacking' of Nigel Pearson in February 2015
    • Getting the stadium to clap the Thai King
    • A horrific transfer window in summer 2016 when they squandered the chance to use the PL win as a real springboard
    • Giving the job to Shakey full time
    • Appointing Claude Puel, while he signed some good players for us, a Southampton reject who was renowned for playing negative football was not a particularly ambitious managerial appointment for a club with the profile that we had at the time.
    • Adrien Silva 14 seconds fiasco
    • Appointing Brendan Rodgers
    • Letting Rodgers dismantle the ethos of the club and the team behind the scenes that Pearson and co built
    • Unnecessary new contract for Brendan Rodgers that made him so costly to sack
    • Overspending on mediocre to crap players with awful attitudes and handing out silly contracts like confetti, leading to the PSR issues we have now
    • The summer of 2022 mess
    • Letting Tielemans run his contract down
    • Horrific transfer business in January 2023, nearly signing Jack Harrison on £100k per week
    • Leaving it way too late to sack Brendan Rodgers
    • £880k fine for replica kit price fixing
    • Failing to sack Jon Rudkin following relegation, 'internal review' that as expected led to absolutely nothing
    • Signing more Premier League has beens like Conor Coady on silly money, completely failing to learn any lessons
    • Giving Hamza Choudhury a new contract
    • January 2024 transfer window mess which saw Casadei being recalled with no replacement and no other incomings, failed Stefano Sensi signing
    • £25 for a physical season ticket
    • Filling the West Stand with Thai celebs on the final game of 23-24 which prevented actual fans from being able to see the team lifting the trophy
    • Giving Jannik Vestergaard a new 3 year contract
    • Letting Dewsbury-Hall leave and then spending silly money on players like Skipp, Golding and Okoli.
    • The completely pointless signing of Woyo Coulibaly in January 2025
    • Nonsensical stadium bans that seem to be weaponised against fans who have been critical of King Power & Jon Rudkin
    • Preventing fans from handing out mental health awareness flyers due to 'environmental concerns', meanwhile they had no issue printing out tens of thousands of clappers every game.
    • Dodgy BC.GAME sponsor, no shirt sponsor for months this season before bringing them back.
    • #TruthFromThailand political propaganda being displayed on the screens at the stadium
    • Giving Luke Thomas a new contract
    • Appointing some Thai middle manager who has never worked in football or the UK before as Managing Director
    • Aiyawatt promising more communication and then going off to play Polo for weeks
    • Failing to pay staff before Christmas as promised

     

    Don't forget lying through their teeth to the fans about away ticket collection in Europe and mandated coach travel for the FA Cup final.

    Really? Stokes and Root said its bittersweet. They've won for the first time in 15 year i think they're allowed a moment. 

     

    If it were one of the first three Tests or even if we could still draw the series, I'd agree. But this was a dead rubber, the result is meaningless. Half their team were out and they were pissing about - they sent Boland out to open the batting ffs.

     

    I'll say well done to the bowlers though, they played an excellent game individually and as a unit, notwithstanding the comments about the pitch.

    Another damning indictment on King Power's awful running of this club.

     

     

     

    This can't be right - people on here said last year it was literally impossible to stay up because of the Brentford and Bournemouth cartel or something.

    Well the last 5 winners have been female. That’s a trend whether you’re looking for one or not

     

    I’m obviously not saying some or all of those winners didn’t deserve to win but for me it was outrageous Broad didn’t win it a couple of years ago. 
     

    Such is the push the BBC are making on for example women’s football, it should be of little surprise really. 
     

    It could be that the most recent winners have benefitted from it being sports that the BBC have the rights to broadcast and that there’s a correlation there too, which would be logical. 
     

    Either way, I’m unsure of any other worthy winner over Rory this year, given the career grand slam and how much of a monkey Augusta has been on his back
     

     

     

    Come off it, Louise Hamilton won it fair and square in 2020. First woman to win the men's F1 world title is no mean feat.
