*Unless it is Cameron being replaced by May, May being replaced by Johnson, Johnson being replaced by Truss, or Truss being replaced by Sunak.

It is only if Starmer goes.

Absolute. Charlton. Hypocrite. Imbecile.

My great-grandfather, who died aged 103, told me how his own grandfather saw Napoleon riding past on his return from Elba. 1815, just one degree of separation.

My favourite Robert Redford story is the one about why he got rejected for the lead role in The Graduate. RIP to a real one.

Now do one for Julian Dicks
Good for Mo. He's a class act. A professional with humility, respect and loyalty. And he's right too, all the players we sold this window, from Kelleher, Quansah to Harvey, Lucho, Darwin etc won the league last season and contributed in their own way.
That was like Luis Suarez (if Suarez was 7ft tall)
Nunez > Isak
Elliot > Wirtz
Diaz > Ekitike
Tsimikas > Kerkez
Gomez? >Guehi
Quansah > Leoni
Trent > Frimpong
Kelleher > Mamardashvili

+ other outgoings such as Morton & Doak. Big headline gross spend figure but net spend well within our financial capability particularly after saving last 2 windows.
Me too. I thought the summer of Barnes, Beardsley and Houghton was a massive squad turnover.
With a tribute to Sam Cooke's lyrics

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took...

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for

To cheer everyone up, here is an anecdote about when David Bowie was filming the video for Ashes to Ashes.

There are many disappointing aspects to Starmer’s leadership, but I think the most disappointing one is, he won’t take the fight with Reform. Instead he is copying them- a strategy that will fail.

The video was shared on Robinson's X account. The far right is using X to destabilise our society and the govt is doing nothing about it. [And lots of you are helping support the site by continuing to post there].
This is wickedness. It flourishes.
Family in fear after Tommy Robinson shares video of black man with white granddaughters.

I found 5 great songs sung to a 'Caroline' without recourse to Neil Diamond's stadium thumping popular hit.

My main worry there is how lopsided the team is. I've never seen Szob operate that deep and left before. Covering space for Kerkez no doubt but it left the middle isolated and Mo unsupported. Cody and Hugo practically on each other's toes.
Clinton's musicians such as Bootsy Collins raise expectations to a new intention
