Dr Nowt

More Wallace and vomit, in this case.

Kind of ironic this conversation (I’m aware it didn’t only become a talking point in recent days/weeks) is currently taking place against a backdrop of the reigning 4 times in a row champions suddenly dropping off a cliff to great surprise in the wider footballing world. Obviously there are many different nuances involved in that happening to a whole side than there would be in a single player’s future performances, but enough City players who’ve been instrumental in them winning what they have in recent years suddenly look like boxers who got old overnight for there to be some relevance. However fit he is for his age, trying to laser-point exactly when his body/performance level will go over that same tipping point is more like predicting precisely what the 2026 UK housing market will be doing today than it is an exact science. What if Mo goes the same way as some of City’s players, 6 months into a new £400k+ per week 3 year contract (or returns to his form in the second half of last season)? Much as FSG are proper mingebags and I hope he’ll stay and keep working his way up the club’s record-scorers, I don’t think it’s the no-brainer it’s being painted as by some. Might be able to make an educated guess at how long he’ll stay at his current physical level, but you can’t know for sure.

I didn’t know Fat Dunc wrote for Anfield Watch.

I forgot I’d never met your other half.

That’ll throw them off the scent.

I’m hoping it’ll be a feature on several of Trump’s cabinet picks being investigated for sex crimes, with a working headline of ‘The Rapeublican Party’.

In bits at this. Some cracking comments on that video, but “Blacking up is one thing but blinding up takes the biscuit”, has it.

Billy (first picture) and John, for reference.

Hands-down my favourite Prescott-story, other than him punching the soft cunt who egged him, obviously. https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2000/sep/18/uk.politicalnews

The big 3 (and Murray) era down to only one left. What a truly incredible sportsman Nadal was.

Cunt ref.

Also…

Having watched the video of Coote, it’s crystal clear Mo dived in it and by rights we will now have 10 points deducted this season. It would be the correct decision in isolation and a form of karma for all the PEDs inhaled under Klopp.

Wins the electoral college for the 3rd time. Unprecedented.

“He posted an article about the deficiencies of zonal marking with a smug ‘Excellent read’, so I leathered the cunt.”

Obviously his mitigation will include a member of the public having been given a restraining order for stalking and harassing him barely a year ago having put him on higher alert to perceived threats, along with the background atmosphere of growing public abuse to MPs/what happened to Jo Cox and David Amess, etc. Especially if he can prove/convince that the guy verbally threatened him. Clear CCTV footage of him continuing to punch the fella multiple times while he’s sat on the ground and ‘the optics’ of a current MP being filmed battering one of his own constituents, then goading him about it like a pissed-up tit at pub closing time, though. Fuck me. Great timing from the wee man.

Lived fast and died fast, if I know gravity.

Went for dinner a couple of times at The Oak Room inside The Plaza Hotel, during an all-expenses paid trip to New York I won (Investment Bank picking up the tab). My only previous frame of reference for it was that’s where Pacino wants to eat his last “agreeable” meal in Scent Of A Woman. From memory, it was 3 figures for a burger, let alone what we did eat. The bill for 3 of us back in the late 90’s would still feel eye-wateringly expensive now. Even the hotel breakfast bill was easily over £100 for two people, once you’d had a drink. I was absolutely rooted for money at that point, couldn’t even have afforded to buy myself a McDonalds while there. Bizarre juxtaposition.

“You’re in a Toffee cab”.

Code, having got into a driverless taxi at Lime Street on a Saturday lunchtime, hungover, and asked for Anfield, before being dropped outside the Trafford Centre at 14:59. RPReplay_Final1728818903.mov
