Not by us. Though the media may be blind to such a glaring failure, given the advantage of unbridled wealth at his disposal, most of the football fan base can clearly see that gap in Guardilola's and City's recent achievements. Maybe that gap will be filled in the near future, but it would just be a further case of mammon triumphalism, which, paradoxically, would cheapen such an achievement. As Oscar Wilde said, "Fuck 'em!". Not sure he was talking about City but, anyway, fuck 'em.

Good to see that City fans celebrate winning the Premier League like Evertonians rejoice at avoiding relegation - with the pitch invasion. Yet the outpouring of Bitter relief at again avoiding the 'drop' is completely natural compared to the invention of joy at winning a competition that City's finances should always ensure. In the immortal words of Oscar Wilde: "Cunts! The fucking lot of them. Cunts!"

The Champions League semi finals are similar to something like the semi finals of the League Cup. Dispassionate, deadly dull and of interest only to the final competitors. Middlesbrough v Coventry has more of a football feel to it.

Sarah, the woman who made this claim, has now accepted the truth of statistics suggesting Liverpool fans outnumber their city rivals by 2/1. She then said she based her claim on what 'cabbies' have told her. Hack facts or private hire liar, all solid sources.

Looked like some sort of gym monkey who tones up to impress the guys. Andy must have smudged his spray tan. The prick needs a lengthy ban for that his actions. These officials are starting to believe that they are actually of some importance to the game. They are lower than vermin.

I'm going into town, meeting my mate in the Casa then going on to the other bars - the Cracke, Roscoe Head, Grapes, Belvedere etc' hoping that in one of them I will lose the intense loathing I now have for a group of people for whom I normally have the greatest of respect and affection. My friend is an Evertonian and today I somehow understand better how life often looks to him.

If there was an international competition for the best cross-dresser wouldn't the Patriotic Alternative want the UK entrant to win? For them to do otherwise would surely not be patriotic..

United are back, eh? An own goal and a dodgy offside decision for their opener. Well, their luck and their officials are back.

Don't know if anyone's interested in the full article. A lot of it is about the Red Sox which, as it's an American paper, isn't surprising. https://www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2023/02/19/john-henry-weighs-in-on-teams-approach-to-spending-free-agency-xander-bogaerts-and-chaim-bloom

Watching Everton v Leeds has been the worst footballing experience I've had in a long time. The absolute dearth of talent on 'display' was shocking in a top division game. The School of Science has become the College of Crap. As for Leeds. well when you're relying on dunces like Harrison. Bamford and Ntonto then you are fucked. Abysmal in every sense.

I suppose in an age in which we have seen liars, incompetents, mass murderers, bankers placemen and just outright cunts 'leading' the UK people found the sincerity, the comparative normality and, not least, the wealth equalising policies of Corbyn attractive. 2017 indicated that the electorate were ready for a change. Then the banks, the media the Israel lobby and the medocrities of centrist Labour decided that the electorate didn't like Corbyn. Corbyn wasn't a sharp dresser, he was a public speaker without verbal flourishes and displayed a certain naviety - he trusted people who agreed with his policies and put them in his shadow cabinet - and he worked an allotment, didn't drink and was a vegetarian. The last three practices I found particularly appalling; gardening, no booze, no meat? Madness! So I really can't understand why he should draw such criticism from Labour voters - or former Labour voters. Maybe it's because socialist ideology is out of place in a party that was created to offer a socialist alternative to the uncontronstrained, insatiable greed of the masters of a system of unconscionable exploitation. Or perhaps it's just that lies still work on the public. Well, Labour have now got a man leading them to whom lies seem to be second nature. Maybe the country deserves him.

According to the Echo a man has been arrested 'in another part of the country' in connection with the incident concerning the schoolgirl. The nonsense last night would be more pathetic and moronic if the guy wasn't being even housed at The Suites notel. It would still be an embarrassment to our city, though, and such easily fed hatred suggests we still have a bit to do to truly proclam Liverpool as a stronghold of welcoming socialism.

Spurs just sent the cleaning staff to the commentary gantry to clean up Martin Tyler's spunk spurt.

I'm glad they got Dyche. He had Burnley in freefall before the got fucked off - and he was coaching a squad that worked for him. A bunch of predominantly home nations players, no 'stars' and a few journeymen pros without ego who actually tried. . At the shit tip he's got a few wayward kids like Lewin and Davies who might give him pronoun challenges, a couple of foreign players who believe they are better than they actually are ... better than where they are ,,, and a fan base that will wipe their snot in his wife's hair if they don't beat Arsenal on Saturday. I'm happy he's 'at the wheel'. He's shite and I fully expect him to keep up the abysmal standards of his predecessors. When your best last hope is Dyche then you really don't have much of a hope.

Everything Everywhere All at Once. Tried it, didn't like it. One person on one island on one planet in one solar system in one galaxy in one universe confuses me, so this film about the multiverse was just a jumble of gibber, flashing images and swooshy noises edited by a kid on a on snow mountain.

Kenwright was at the game today. If those travelling fans catch him in the car park there could a chance of Kill Bill 3.

That Zaha needs fucking launching. A do nothing piece of shite; a chance to win it in the last minutes and he fails to control the ball. Utter shite!

I've heard David Unsworth has had her in a headlock ..... and a few other positions

Ah, the James Bond strategy - a Guinness supernova. Suave.

Or let her rough it a bit - take her along to The Crown or The Standard and feed her with something from the New Century menu. She may not thank you but she'll never forget it.

I fully endorse that post.

Boxing Day mayhem, three points and a win at a 'resurgent' Villa. Fuck the moans, I'll take win right now.

I watched the original Solaris so the remake wasn't on my 'to do' list. The Banshees of Inishferin was excellent, but, if your taste dictates otherwise, you are quite at liberty not to like it. Just don't try Satantango.

Great statistics for De Bruyne. Different man to the one who played in Qatar. It's as though there's some secret potion they use at the Etihad that makes players perform better.

The Banshees of Inisherin. 9/10. A really good film that amuses, bemuses and appalls before it makes you think about the value of life, friendship and how we think of the worth of our lives. Even the opening music wrongfooted me ; I thought it was some Gaelic harmony from the bowels of Donegal but it turned out to a Bulgarian choral piece. Well, feck me!
