It's embarrassing. Flags? Is that all he can say? Beyond hopeless.
More of the same middle aged ranting/dad jokes as on the old place, really, but less rising to the political bait. Springsteen, West Ham, Europe-type stuff. ๐ช๐บ๐ฎ๐ช๐ง๐ฆ

Peter Kyle's comments this morning are astonishing. Someone thought *that* was the government line to put out? "See, you are free to be racist, and that's a good thing, isn't it? By the way, flags are great too, but immigrants aren't, are they? We are on your side, honest. WIll this do, Daily Mail?"

Nice to see the Met Police talking about violence at a demonstration which included a foreign national talking about the violent overthrow of the British government on, errr, a social media platform owned by him.

Someone on the BBC live coverage of Russell Martin's appointment at Rangers just said "Read comparisons to big Ange Postecoglou this week. If true, it could make him the right man." His last game before being sacked by Southampton (13th loss in 16 games) was a 0-5 home loss to ... Big Ange's Spurs.
