  1. Why don't the Tories change their logo to the Israel flag? I'm actually a bit sickened that they haven't. Then let's have a pork ban as well.
  2. No striker for 30 mins, just fucked Szoboszlai, all for a point. Well, I hope he fires a shot across the PGMOL door in his post match pressers. What we saw was totally incompetent and it's robbed us of 3 points and taken a massive toll on some player's legs. You can understand a mistake, but we saw 3 mistakes, all against us, despite 4k camera footage to help them. That's unforgivable, that's incredibly suspicious, and we need straight answers.
  3. Klopp has wasted these last 10 mins. Gomez and a few others were red-lining, absolutely knackered.
  4. Saw this today, was a comment in reply to a Guardian story about how 'cool' Naples is: Another article that I read with a sinking heart as a Naples resident. We don't appreciate those descriptions of our city as 'cool', 'edgy', 'gritty' that are made by tourists (or 'travellers', same thing - a body is a body). Largely instagram- and airbnb- induced, alarming increase in tourist numbers in the last 2 years have seen the very quick death of our city and culture, which was born and grew due to its isolation and marginalisation. Largely like a coral reef, the more that come to visit, the quicker its devastation. We don't need gentrification, which has happened so quickly that we are reeling, and what was once 'Napoli' can possibly be already considered largely dead, or quickly disappearing, what is left. Our prosperity will not grow from media and increased visitor numbers. Why? It is obvious. You are coming to visit and stay in one of the nearly 9000 airbnbs, 5 years ago largely inexistent, that one of those Napolitans lived in until recently. We can't find places to live. Our local stores are gone, in their place the same hipster-bullshit bars and souvenir shops that you find anywhere in the world. Inequality in on such a drastic rise it is terrifying. Those tourist dollars you say are so beneficial are more than 95 percent undeclared, falling into the pockets of the already wealthy. Our communities are dying due to residents, who have often lived in the same street for generations, being pushed out. Our Sri-Lankan migrants have all been thrown of of their homes in the Spanish Quarter, now the 'epitomy of cool' to be rented out as 'authentic Napolitan Bassi'. Your visits are increasing our gentrification, which has destroyed the fabric of our city and culture faster than any other city in the last 20 years, even faster than in Portugal. The average Napolitan lives on less than 1000 euros per month. A 30sqm apartment now goes for 800 euros per month, which would have been 250 just a few years ago. Our 'arrangiarsi' is not an interesting and idiosyncratic cultural artifact, the backdrop for an instagrammable adventure in the newest 'unexplored' metropolis. It was a culture of getting by the best we could. We were unpretentious and doing our best, despite the difficulties. We do have our community, but that is easily overridden by greed and corruption, yes that same corruption that is so romanticised in articles like this. I am not against tourism by any measure. We need new blood as humans, it is healthy. We had a healthy tourism in previous years, largely fueled by what is demonised as the 'bad' tourism, but is actually the least damaging. Grey-haired cruise ship tourist who would eat in a tourist restaurant, older quieter well-travelled europeans who came to see and left, leaving little of their presence. Just two years ago I started seeing the 'cooler' identikit travellers, and we knew time was up. This is because it is that latter category are those that change it, that need to have an 'authentic' experience, that come into our quarters, wanted to share, to talk about Naples, about how 'cool and undiscovered' was. Now, instead of seeing 1 tourist per 30 Napolitans in the high season just a few years ago, the proportion is completely inverted. We can't accomodate this, and we are losing our city. Though I know this comment will make people angry, it is an appeal. If you like Naples and Napolitans, please don't come. We are drowning.
  5. I wonder what % of trans people have self-published online as porn performers, compared with the % for all the LGBTQ clan, and straight people. Nothing wrong with popping a figure on it is there?
  6. I haven't seen any of today's game, but I'm not surprised this girth king made Moyes squirt.
  7. Should also point out that, for you, if you download Big Screen (it's free) then often there's someone screening live footy. Each room is like a darkened cinema room, with upto 20 people allowed I think.
  8. Yeah mine batter this every day and to be fair they end up a sweaty mess, it's a decent workout. Just be prepared for smashed fingers off table corners and also non-stop talking. Amazing how much we've spent on games and in the end they ignore it all and play the free one.
  9. You lads not got round to locking him up yet? What's the hold-up? I thought this was all boxed-off?
  10. H/jack 7/10 Really good. Real-time 7 hour flight from Dubai, with cut-aways to action in the ground. Stupid. Implausible. Driss. Hugely entertaining for a mini-series, didn't expect to like it.
  11. He's walked into a trap. Look who's already positioned himself as the green champion the country needs....
  12. Brand is still top of the news feeds. Despite these stories....
  13. Ah but he's a BBC employee, and it's fair game on BBC iffy characters, so again I don't regard him as being untouchable. Like I say, I'm just disgusted at the trial-by-media and how readily people are ready to throw someone in prison without a fair trial. I defend Brand because I defend every idiot out there who is accused of something by 'journalists'.
  14. Just imagine how scared we'd be if the USA did what we did.
  15. This is the problem though, it's just becoming a pile-on for anyone who has ever thought Brand is a twat. This is now a subliminal fact that proves their assertions correct. The quicker we can get him in Belmarsh and silenced the quicker they can claim victory in the "what I thought about Brand' Olympics. It's a shambles. It should actually be illegal to do this. I hope to God he's guilty otherwise this is a bloodbath. Perhaps literally.
  16. I put up with 7 minutes of the 'documentary' before giving up. The ominous chords playing over footage of him smiling is fucking cringe. They open with the voice-actor's absurd line about Brand somehow being too powerful to accuse of rape. What are you fucking on about? He's barely fucking famous now, even back then he was a figure of fun for many, and riddled with character faults that the CPS would love to expose in a criminal case. If Dispatches and The Times can't hand over to the police a file of hard evidence against him after a year of access to five victims, against an ex-junkie with self-confessed sex addiction issues, and now an unkempt conspiracy nut, then they deserve absolute obliteration in the High Court. But it's all very fucking odd, the historical aspect of these allegations and how these 5 have found each other. Trial by media is lowest of the low.
  17. It was, though in the end I wanted Everton to win based on Arsenal trying to time-waste a title challenge in early September. That was two very dull games, must remember to swerve bets on post international games from now on. They all looked barely arsed.
  18. Could have been me, I was impressed with Jackson pre-season, a real handful albeit an untamed horse. Stick it on my tab. Am hoping for an Everton win here. Arsenal not won at Goodison since 2017? Seems improbable, but some teams just have the hex.
  19. Strangely subdued crowd at Bournemouth, and totally passive team. Has the Queen died again?
  20. We desperately need a captain who will strangle some of these cunts for displays like this. Also I'd expect the captain to bawl Klopp out for some shit tactics and tell him to change it in-game. You can't carry players on this scale. Genuinely Jones, MacAllister, Gakpo, Salah, all posting 2/10 performances. Shockingly unprofessional.
  21. Pearce is a cunt who leaks shit, this is not a bad atmosphere in a vacuum.
