A thing to remember throughout all of this is that the owners are treating the fans like shit. The owners are cheating, lying, throwing tantrums and embarrassing the club, but in the end they will walk away and it's the fans who are left with the wreckage.

Twice my primary school gave over an assembly to my year so we could perform my plays. The plays were not commissioned by anyone, I just decided we were doing plays, wrote them, got all the kids in my year to rehearse at play time. I suspect the school felt they *had* to let us perform or we'd riot.
I truly believe that part of the reason Warrington isn't a city and is also not very well known outside the NW of England is that it's a rugby league town and doesn't have a league football team (both Warrington clubs are in the 7th tier).
Reading this story and playing back in my head all the times I've referred to Warrington as 'a city' in Warrington. 😳

I really want to know how many of the people who said the Norman conquest was 'negative' have a Norman surname. Maybe history ain't so simple as "If you like being alive, you support the Harrying of the North"?
What I love about the people answering “negative” is they are basically saying “the last thousand years? I don’t care for them”.
If Chelsea Vs Millwall was a news story...
Daniel Thomas / Danny Tommo has today marched his private army of blackshorts to Daily Mail HQ to demand a new house for his mum within 48 hrs, after they doorstepped her for a feature on him. Apparently he plans to blockade them + cry at them until they do Bet those lads are glad of the balaclavas
HEY! I'm walking* here! *actually speaking an English idiolect which is mostly northwestern England English with a mess of Dublin English sprinkled on top, plus the weird precision of pronunciation that comes with autism sometimes.
Delighted to discover that I am from Boston, MA. It's surprising how many of the questions you can answer with an English accent. Apart from Florida or crayon, most of my pronunciations were in there. mydialect.us/quiz-standar...
Reminds me of the time I went to a talk a PhD candidate was giving about his research into the psychology of people who like conspiracy theories, and the entire Q&A was taken up by self proclaimed conspiracy theorists asking weird questions which proved his points.
Ronson is describing how debilitating online radicalisation is, both personally calamitous and harmful to society in general. And here’s this guy, demanding to know why Ronson doesn’t also have a brain slug on his head.
I remember it clearly cos those few seconds between hearing that Diana had died and hearing that it's was a car crash were spent thinking "I hope it wasn't the IRA, they're going to kill us all if it was", in case you want an insight into growing up as both anxious and Irish in the UK in the 90s.
I know it's v unlikely to happen, but it would be the best thing to happen in club football this century for me if Man Utd's claim that they want to focus the women's team on giving youth a chance actually results in an exciting team of dashing youngsters doing well.
awright starting now let's all post more about things that aren't politics or news. I'll kick off: they took up like half my living room floor because of the Water Mystery and we're walking around on subfloor. however they have indicated that maybe tomorrow we get to take the fans out

Well if we can't have the smoothest moon: Our Moon (classic, iconic, gently caressed by our finest moment) Triton (contrary, unusual, smashed up all of Neptune's other moons like a boss) Charon (half the size of its planet, fucks up Pluto's gravity as a result, has a ginger wig)
I think it's important for a grown adult to have a top 3 favourite moons in the system. And don't include Europa, sorry but that's just crass and derivative.
