I’m speaking about Barton, not about anyone else. He’s a scumbag. https://news.sky.com/story/amp/joey-barton-ex-footballer-cleared-of-assaulting-his-wife-after-judge-ruled-he-could-not-get-a-fair-trial-12735414 He treats women with contempt. He spoke out and defended his brother the other week who murdered someone. Why did he murder someone, drug deal gone wrong? Neighbourhood dispute? Mental health issue? No, it was because a black man dared to walk past him. I understand debate, I understand why people may feel threatened or anxious by stuff like equality and diversity as they feel opportunities are taken away from them (even though I don’t agree). How anyone can sit there and defend Joey Barton is beyond me. He is scum of the earth.

I don’t think that is the point though. He’s going after those women because he’s a horrible sexist pig and those who support him are also horrible sexist pigs. Aluko and Ward maybe terrible but so are Agbonlahor, Jenas, Savage etc etc, he’s highlighting the women because he hates women.

I meant that they don’t (my words are a bit muddled). Like people will always prefer a Jimmy White to a Mark Selby because he was entertaining but he was entertaining because he was doing lines of cocaine in between frames, just like a few on the darts tour (allegedly).

Same reason why people dislike Mark Selby in snooker. Sadly there is no place for people in darts and snooker who aren’t emotionally dysfunctional and rely on alcohol to get by.

German food at Millwall? I can’t believe we fought two world wars for this!

The Plymouth game was the afternoon where I realised time was up, when Daka came in and showed us what Vardy and Kel could and should’ve been doing. If Enzo ball is a long term project then we need youth in that position. We’ll need to go into the Prem with Daka, Cannon and a young, proven top division scorer I think.

Nice article on Luke Humphries who won the darts yesterday and overcoming/living with mental health difficulties. https://inews.co.uk/sport/darts-luke-humphries-anxiety-boredom-depression-2838576

The Hague 4 Starmer???

could not disagree more.

That stuff about his mental health is genuinely heart warming.

Him and Sean Dyche do sword swallowing on Sunday mornings.

Last 4 sets have been sensational from Humphries, Littler hasn’t dropped off at all.

So Littler can make sure his magnets are working and to get his sniff of Ritalin.

Mass booing is embarrassing, imagine working your arse off to have to face that.

Mate of mine in Loughborough had his house flooded and moved into travelodge last night only to be booted out today. Nowhere to go (obvs family elsewhere). Local MP’s office phone off and nowhere to be seen. Council useless.

I think based on his performances, his position is the one where we need to spend big over the summer as it’s going to be the difference between our system working in the prem and us doing a Burnley, I’m not sure Wilf will be good enough to play in that position at Prem level.

It says above Raul Jiminez was gonna sign for them so I think we can safely dismiss it.

If the Americans called it ethnic cleansing, would that change a thing? That Ben Gvir bloke is chillingly evil.

Probs will go under the radar but this is silly darts from Humphries, averaging 115 in the first 3 sets 🤯🤯

The greatest 16 year old sportsperson of all time?

Is doping a thing in darts? This is unreal 😭😭

Darts would lose a lot of what it’s gained if someone came along Taylor style and cleaned everything up for the next 20 years. Not that that’s a given but you can’t see this guy ever losing a game.

Can’t see Cross winning this, averaging 110 and still wasn’t able to go 2-0. Littler is an absolute freak, it’s like there’s a magnet in that t19.

This is all well and good, he’s obviously a good ref but he’s only one clanger away from being thrown in with the rest.
