Farage will not hold face-to-face surgeries amid fears of attack Nigel Farage says he has been advised it could lead to violence and refers to the death of Southend West MP Sir David Amess.

Bloke doesn’t practice what he preaches.

Reform are the politics of hate.

How sports journalism works…

No he didn’t.

Expectation is a personal choice not absolute.

Back in the days of print media fanzines came out once a month.

Contributors had time to consider their subject, refine their words and reflect on their output before publication.

Now stuff is written on a mobile phone on the bus back from work and pushed out instantly.

Scan read it a couple of times.

Take away the moaning, digs and clumsy attempts at humour, and there’s nothing left.

Third example this week of authors thinking good writing is about word count.

One paragraph of thoughtful prose is of far more value than ‘pages’ of redundant padding.

And very expensive on Apple TV.

"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"

It’s drivel.

Nick Woltemade could buy a saxophone in the summer, or sing a song about cheese.

The only known facts are he refused to play, naffed off to train in Spain without the clubs consent and released that pitiful excuse on Instagram to justify his disgraceful behaviour.

Water under the bridge, until the client media start stirring agai..

Mentioned this the other day, he turned and sprinted down the left to give Ramsdale an out ball about a minute before he went down.

Not the actions of somebody who couldn’t be arsed.

Aye, but selling them on our terms.

We should have told Isak he can go if we get a bid of £150m before the end of June, and stuck to that.

We had the real power and should have exercised it.

Best way to deal with bullies is to smash them in the face with a brick.

Can’t agree.

If we want to beat the system we can’t capitulate when the establishment machine aims their cannons in our direction.

We have to throw a spanner in the works, remove one of the weapons they use to maintain the status quo from their artillery.

Here we go.

The drip feeding of ‘information’ to facilitate a transfer to a media favoured club has begun.

Caving in to the 🐀 was a big mistake.

Shola was OK, but quite how he has managed to be employed by the club for nearly 30 years is one of life’s great mysteries.

I can’t think of a comparable player - he’s a total one off.

Read it.

Lots of words masquerading as insight.

When I first started going to SJP back in 81. Bar a few hooligan types, the people who followed football clubs did so because they were genuinely interested in football - they enjoyed the game and the sense of belonging.

Now it’s a vehicle for attention seeking, personality disorders and greed.

Grifters.

Best way to do that is not to go around calling people stupid racists.

People aren’t receptive to rethinking their world view at the best of times, start the conversation by attacking them and they go on the defensive.

Name calling instead of listening is the main reason Reform exist.

If your enemy wants you to go out the door, you exit by the window.

It’s also kind of irrelevant.

The give away line is the one highlighted below.

They are attacking when they see vulnerability. Trying to breed negativity, stoke anger, create division and destabilise the club.

They can FO.

The Guardian hate NUFC (Wilson, Ronay, Taylor) and are always looking for an opportunity to stick the knife in.

This is just a speculative hit piece. A combination of facts and wishful thinking on the authors behalf.

Never trust the enemy.

What kind of decisive action should they have taken on the 19th of July then?

It’s easy to say they were too indecisive for too long, but unless you can tell us what they should have done it’s a groundless criticism.

Last time NUFC were in the CL we finished 7th

Last time Villa were in the CL they finished 6th.

Barely any difference between Howe and Emery’s record.

So… you would have been decisive, accepted the first bid that came in and sold him without having a replacement secured?

Doesn’t know the difference between is and are.

The more games a team plays the more likely they are to pick up injuries - statistical inevitability.

David James suffered a muscle injury picking up the remote control for the TV.

Very easy to get sucked into 2 + 2 = cliche with this kind of stuff.

They tried to sign Pedro, Ekitiké and Sesko.

They were trying to get a quality replacement in before considering selling our only striker.

What would you have done, sold him for £110m and hoped for the best?
