Honestly very hard to find the right pejoratives to describe FT and their obsequious relationship with KP. What would you recommend?

Wouldn't use the term "punchbag". What about "self-serving waste of space" instead?

Well done FT, you secured another rip off season

Am I really here watching Thomas AND Kristiansen at the same time? Maybe a fever dream?

What have I just read?!

It's a game of opinions... but IMO this is a big overreaction to a message containing a lot of truths. Really not sure why the OP triggered this reaction, which authentically reads as "legit mental"!

Looks incredible, as does Everton, and as are Arsenal and Tottenham. Not sure why anyone would suggest otherwise. Shows a level of ambition commensurate with the status of the club - in line with Real Madrid, Bayern etc. (To quote a famous son of Manchester, this "says nothing to me about my life", mind!)

Under leadership of CEO Bason and Chairman Ginnetta

"Oh, Iwan is a Welshman" I think it's largely an age thing. Younger fans seem interested in Cov; guessing this is driven by social media. I personally couldn't care less about them, but I love beating Derby - and despise F****t! Looking at our region, not much apart from fields between Leicester and Coventry*, whereas _many_ people live in the 'triangle' between Leicester, Derby and Nottingham. [*Yeah I know there are a few places!]

Is this Reform meltdown some kind of shakedown by the "liberal elite"? Thoughts with them at this difficult time.

Haha, it reveals that Vance is a ****, nothing else. These are not chess grandmasters we're talking about!

Their protests seem somewhat parochial at the mo!

Interested to hear Lionator's views on Farage/Reform. By my reading his posts seem to align with their worldview?

"man of [a very particular subset of] the people"

Rodgers inherited a super squad. TBF, he surfed it pretty well for a couple of years. But the wheels quickly fell off when he started to influence recruitment. Close parallel with Ranieri, really. (Though unlike Claudio, Rodgers is an a**e.)

Farage's mob come over like a Russian fifth column

He's a war leader. He can't afford to show weakness to Russia, the World, and most importantly his own people. Ukrainian position is clear: they won't support a meaningless 'deal' just because Trump wants them to, whatever the consequences. IMO it's clear that US wants out ASAP, ideally but not necessarily with a cosmetic Trump-dictated 'deal'. Trump's right about one thing: they're going to have to fight it out. I think everyone knows this. And I don't even think it's hidden that Trump is using poor Ukraine as cover to engage on economics with Putin. Hey ho.

True, but they don't care

Wait until the inevitable twitter storm...

Staggering to watch on so many levels. "Raw earth" FFS, man is a dotard

Still no. Reduction in price needed, paid for by a dramatic reduction in wage bill. Start a proper rebuild *now*

Hoping for a coconut, me

LOL. Reporting for duty Sir. Serious question: should I stay away from raising this topic with US-based Canadians I know? Is it too sensitive, or will they think the situation is as unfathomably ridiculous as it seems to everyone else?

Whaaaat?! You really want the prices to be frozen for next season? Keep up the obscene contract situation? How's about NO

Cooper was sh1t, that is all that needs saying
