Boro defending against us: Boro defending against Leeds:

Aw come on. Let Bamford take it.

What an absolute donkey. Why do that.

Leeds are falling apart again

Not the best start, agent Thomas.

OK boomer.

Mh, I used to think like this. But I don't think you can, really. Partly, you have to be very naïve to not accept they have a huge amount of influence over what happens here, especially when an absolutely maniac like Trump gets in. But secondly, I think Ian Hislop had a point really in a really good piece he did jointly with Jon Stewart where he was saying we tend to get everything they do, just about five years down the line. You know, in one post you express an irritation about the disproportionate over-prevalence of debate around Trans people and then in the next you bemoan discussion about American politics but American politics and it's influence is exactly why we have most of these culture wars anyway, the politicisation of the word "woke" has become a fundamental part of American politics, so has the stripping down of politics generally in to this fevered Left vs. Right sports teams-esque fandom that's killing critical thought and bipartisan co-operation in Western democracies. That shit is important and it's all born out of the US. To that end, it does matter how successful people like Trump, DeSantis, Boebert, MTG, Gaetz & co are because large chunks of Europe (include ourselves) largely end up playing copycat.

You mean you don't have his OnlyFans?

We're a lot more tired and under a lot less pressure now tbf.

Doesn't mean he's a good owner of a football club or that he has a lot of spare capital he either wants to or can inject in to the club.

Not that much money tbf and they're owned by a moron.

Don Goodman is a clown.

Won't be sad to see Mikey Johnson go off

Absolute shit house win this

It's not about hate its just swings and round abouts. He's amazing at last ditch defending, he always has been. But there's also a lot of times where danger comes from him not being better on the ball or us having less control on the game because it's him not Ricardo there. Great example of Hamza in a nut shell just then. Sloppy pass straight to their player sets up a counter attack but then it's him that runs back and recovers. He'll always be brilliant playing on the back foot and defending in chaos and he'll always be poor helping us calmly control the game.

All of the luck we haven't had this season is literally all happening right now. This is mad.

Wilf tried so hard to miss that

Honestly I don't think it's that in this instance. It's just a Real Madrid fan taking a shot at Man City at the expense of their city rivals because Man City have an enormous amount of Barca connections. You can tell that's what it's about because he claims it isn't unprovoked

I mean that's just English football though isn't it. The vast majority of European nations have got better vocal support than English crowds.

There's something not quite right about the abuse Man City get for having "no fans." It doesn't matter whether it's coming from a Madrid fan or a fan of a smaller club, like ourselves tbh. It's uncomfortable either way. When it's the fans of the bigger clubs, I sit here thinking - oh shut up, one of the main reasons you're so "massive" is just glory supporters and commercialism. And watching Madrid fans nosh the cocks of United fans is just massively cringe ffs. When it's fans of clubs like us I just think, wtf? What do you think would happen if we got their level of success? You think hundreds of thousands of loyal, life long Leicester fans would just appear overnight? Man City either get swarmed with plastic glory supporters and get mocked or they keep a smaller fanbase and they get mocked. Can't really win, what do people expect from them? You can hate the club all you want, hate the money, whatever, but it's not the fans fault is it. The vast majority of them are proper Man City and have been since their club was a yoyo club like us.

De Rossi continues an absolutely sensational start to management.

Sometimes someone just needs to ****ing shoot tbh.

Yes absolutely. I'm not sure how sarcastic to be because I'm not sure if you're asking genuinely or if it's a loaded question because you're trying to be clever. I'll assume the best and answer sincerely - billions of people around the world enjoy alcohol, gambling, junk food, computer games, sex and myriad substances responsibly without suffering with addiction. Addiction and compulsion comes in many forms and to many forms of stimulation and I will always happily see my taxes go to help vulnerable and ill people who are going to find themselves seeking out and accessing the sources of their addiction regardless of whether they're criminal or not. And hell, if you decriminalise and regulate more substances then the corporate taxes from the sale of those substances can probably be added to my own taxes to additionally find the education and support of users so less people do find themselves spiralling in to dangerous addictions.

I'm pretty much of the opinion that if it occurs in nature and people want to cultivate it, prepare it and use it for their own private consumption then the government probably has better things to do than tell them not to do it. Whether that's tobacco, marijuana, mushrooms, etc. I'd extend that to the coca or poppy plant, personally given you're not going to find anyone out there in their own home or garden able to mass cultivate and prepare the volumes of either necessary to make dangerous or profitable quantities of cocaine or opioids. Synthetic chemical drugs is obviously a different question entirely.
