I have never heard of you and have no idea who you are - sorry to hear we don't get on.

Hats off to (spoiler alert) Lewis Ferguson but watching Scotland v Greece out of professional duty while knowing Celebrity Traitors with (no spoilers here) Yer Man in a cowl is on at the same time is fucking torture. ๐Ÿ˜‚

"APPALLING STANCE!" Simon Jordan rages at "COWARD" Gary Neville after Union Jack REMOVAL admission!
YouTube video by talkSPORT "APPALLING STANCE!" Simon Jordan rages at "COWARD" Gary Neville after Union Jack REMOVAL admission!

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

No problem. We can let them sit in on a recording of FW, via zoom maybe.

Don't take it too seriously. Don't get bogged down in tactics: whether Raphinha played on the left or the right - nobody cares. What did you like about what you saw over the weekend? Good luck fellas, I'll be tuning in.

Jacob - tell us about your goals. We want to hear about them. What were you thinking, how did you feel.

A bit of humour, ideally aimed at yourself: "My fuckup" etc.

Nobody cares about Balon D'Or.

Great stuff, lads.

Get introduction music and have the host introduce himself and the others. Who is everyone?

Tell us what team they are playing for and the context of the game. (2/3)

Thanks Tim and hats off to the Gator. First up, Ben + these lads have spoken more sense in 10 min 34sec than Guardian Football Weekly has in 20 years!

Well done them! They are coming for us and we are seriously running scared ๐Ÿ‘

I love it but some (unsolicited) advice ... if you don't mind.

As an immigrant who has come over here, etc and so on, I support Gary Neville on this one.

He has infuriated and enraged all the right racists and media outlet gobshites, in a state of affairs which suggests every word he said was spot on.

As if Big Dunc as the special guest isn't enough, hearing Jamie Carragher say "Kerkez", "Gakpo" and "Chiesa" in the same sentence on MNF almost makes the extortionate monthly subscription to Sky worth it.

Hello Grok, Fritof here: "What is a Tranmere?"

24.09.2025 20:59 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Semantic detail? Really? You actually thought Brewin was talking about the current Tranmere. Just the 30 years or so out of date ๐Ÿ˜‚

I still have no idea what your point was, whatever era of Tranmere Rovers you were referring to. It is becoming abundantly clear that you don't either.

24.09.2025 19:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

You repeatedly dismissed a comparison that you obviously didn't understand as being "reductive".

You'll have to explain how this reinforces your point, let alone makes anyone involved seem more dimwitted than you.

24.09.2025 16:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Tranmere might be in League Two now, but the comparison was with a team that straddled the turn of the millennium, played in the second tier and reached a League Cup final.

Hope that helps ๐Ÿ˜˜

24.09.2025 16:28 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes. I'd like you to explain something ... anything. Just once, explain something - it would be a first.

"Yerra, yerra ... dem proper football min know nuthin about the cautious fella"

Will your explanation incorporate Pulis-esque "towels-near-multi-balls" on an Autumn day? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

23.09.2025 20:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 5    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Agreed. You speak at tedious length about "lazy & reductive narratives", but i have yet to see you explain why any of those narratives you take exception to are lazy and/or reductive.

You routinely dismiss anyone who criticises anything Arteta does as a dinosaur, as if he's a visionary cult leader operating on a level so complex that only you and other brainwashed acolytes can understand his tactics. Not sure best placed to judge how others react to what he does.

23.09.2025 14:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

They've played the two teams widely perceived to be their main title rivals and have made no discernible effort to play either of them off the pitch. The outcome? One point from 6 and you criticising anyone who makes the very bland observation that they are as lacking in mental fortitude as expected

23.09.2025 11:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Well quite apart from the fact Everton didn't score an equaliser, people judging Arteta by identical standards to Guardiola or Slot are delusional. Look at their records and look at his. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

22.09.2025 21:39 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 5    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Liverpool were always going to win and I'd have been hugely confident Arsenal wouldn't, if that's what you're driving at

I don't know what you mean.

I'm saying Slot's tactics worked and Arteta's didn't. A huge shock.
