yeah, I'm going to because I'm tired right now though.

I can't even find heart to be angry about this. The plan is working as intended. We're a hollow facsimile of a club that exists to generate a small amount of revenue for players and owners. I hate them. All of them. My ticket is probably gone at the end of this season if not sooner. It won't be terribly missed and it won't be sold to a fan. **** em.

That Cynthia that's in Wicked is a dreadful person but she's getting away with it.

Rudders is currently locking him in to a five year contract. We're safe, vultures be rammed.

He came from Italy. To manage the city. Great, great manager.. His substitutions made an honest and immediate impact on games. Hopefully this goes well for him as they're clearly 'his' club. I wish him nothing but success. I like his glasses, too.

Musk appointed head of Department of Government Efficient (doge). I'm sure this will be all okay for the general American public.

It's a symptom of the malaise. At a certain point under the tenure of these owners they were messaging supporters begging trying to get them to commit to season tickets. Now they look at us like we're walking wallets since they can shift the tickets. **** you; pay me.

He's going nowhere because Rudkin, Whelan, and Top are not slightly interested in the football. They'll be blinkered enough to think that we'll pull through because of some iffy results. They'll be happy to chance it on the off chance we stay up because if we don't the assumption is we'll come back up again. Regrettably, there doesn't appear to be any foresight at this club anymore. All decisions over the last two years really do point to that.

The whole concept of football is, like an oil tanker, slowly turning away from the course most of us fell in love with. It's no longer enough for the infrastructure of the Premier League to have generations of supporters who attend every game - in fact our own club have referred to that sector as 'legacy fans'. They don't want people who love going down with their family weekly to watch the football. They want an international package of fans who attend sporadically and spend when they're there. There is an intentional move away from community that's currently underway. This is set against a context where financial rules are slowly being changed to ensure a fixed pyramid. I've been very vocal about the Americanization of the English Football League and make no mistake that is what is happening. The FA and majority American owners desperately want a fixed model with no jeopardy. They can't change the league structure so they're doing it in financial terms. Look at the Champions League and all the publicity about how this new league format is just brilliant. No. It's the super league you wanted in it's infancy. Next up - fix the coefficients properly. Part of what people love/LOVED about football is the romance. The underdog winning. That cannot happen under this model and we're seeing that occur in real time. Even the tactics are being moulded to support this. What you're feeling is the steady realization that what you loved about the game is being changed in subtle and constant ways. It's the knowledge that the genie can never be put back into the bottle. Every time I see a ****ing t-shirt cannon or new innovative way of packaging up some kind of commercial venture into my 'match day experience' I love it a little bit less and, as a legacy fan, that's exactly what I'm supposed to be feeling. But feel some consolation - when this goes to shit because it's unsustainable they'll be happily giving you football back in tatters.

This is just baseless conjecture to get us excited. It is working

Very loud from our fans on the radio.

I don't consider myself an 'enlightened centrist' whatever that means. Just seeking to explain in some way what is a pretty brutal loss at the polls.

I also know it's so ****ing funny too

Herein is an issue. You're reducing a massive issue into a polarised point. War criminal he may be - he's still influential. If you trim the leaf you still have the branch. The problem is, and has been for some time, the political approach and not the political. That isn't to say I know how to fix it but I do know that calling Obama a criminal and Trump an orange bad man only serves to reposition the issue.

I was there in Moscow. He was a god that night. He's been utter dug shit besides. Get rid.

Most voting people want to know that borders are being policed. That's not to say most people I know think that but most voters do and therefore most votes do. Play the hand you're dealt and operate after. There's an apathy in the VOTING POPULATION that indicates you should lean into that for the power. Change starts when you're in.

'Yeah but he's an idiot' That has never played in an American market. Why would you ever lean on that as a gambit? Why not - Tough on illegal immigration Harder on unpaid tax More support for the worker All nicely vague and evidencible. Get the swing votes on side and seize power. Left wing politics done right.

And, again, it's worth outlining that I don't agree with the politics of Trump. However - to impact change you need to be in power. To be in power you need to get the vote. To get the vote you need to appeal to the people. The American left failed at that point. Folk don't want to be told how to think and that was something that let Harris down in the end. Appeal to the base first and then change from within. Do not rely on saying 'orange man bad cofefe' and think that'll do. This was a real missed opportunity.

It really isn't too much to ask that immigration and discussion therein isn't considered right wing. A big failure of the the American left is to not consider that.

I am not advocating for Trump. I do not support his brand of politics. I'm not a trump man. With that caveat writ large. The American working class have been told if you disagree with immigration you're a racist and if you don't subscribe to an extreme view of gender politics you're a bigot. The left have eaten their own tail with certain political stances that have alienated their core vote. The moderate has been left with a choice that has forced them right. A subsection of a massive society has been prioritised (and I am not saying I disagree) that has left the undecided the deciding factor.

STEM isn't a reliable or valid measure. You're presuming that they're the only valuable subjects for assessing worth and a proxy for intelligence - isn't Musk both a Trump supporter and poster boy for STEM advancement? Also - it precludes critical thinking subjects who are much more likely to have an analytical approach to something as distinctly un-empirical like politics - English, Psychology, Sociology. You're assuming that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths are somehow the critical thinking subjects rather than the subjects who are most subsidised because of the capitalist social structure they best serve. Further to this - separating by STEM would remove a lot of PhD students.

I am so triggered

He's deluded to the point you can't ****ing discount that it might be him leaking the teams to a) keep himself in the news cycle and b) scour the leaks for positive comments about himself.

Made an impassioned plea to stay to trouser his money when we in the premier League. Felt himself above the championship and didn't help clean the mess he made. Tells you what you need to know about him at his core.

Every performance bar Wednesday has. I can't believe he started twenty games in the relegation season though. Tell me he didn't.
