I COULD throw a bucket of pig's entrails at a wall and it COULD form the outline of the Mona Lisa. #lufc

I hate to pull age rank but I first saw Carry On Cleo in the cinema. The volume of the explosion of laughter for the "infamy" line was last heard in Dewsbury 20 years earlier and caused by the Luftwaffe.
Apologies for the tone. I was violently agreeing with you!
I'll only get excited by today's Trump statement if a Ouija Board is seen delivered to the White House.
That's pretty much my point. The logical conclusion is a European Super League and the end of Merseyside derbies.
He'd be worth the GDP of a small European country today. I went to university in Birmingham in the late 70s. WBA were a great side.
A Liverpool supporter responded to my point with a "that's because he was shite" I despair.
it should be at least 400 times harder to get a driver's license
Don't think the viewing public will be as shocked and upset as in 1984. I'd record it and play it when needing cheering up.
Totally agree.
A fine woman.
We've not invested in players who can create and/or score goals.
Judging by the number of small children wearing blazers that resemble overcoats "allowing a little bit of room for growth" is alive and well in Yorkshire.
A stat for all of us jumpers for goalposts football supporters. Trevor Francis cost £5.5m at today's prices when he joined Forest.
We've been outwtted by Fulham. The naivete and lack of experience of the recruitment team can be seen from space.
Fair point on a one off game, which incidentally was a draw, but I doubt whether Grimsby would finish above Man Utd in the Premier League.
Trevor Francis cost £5.5m at today's prices.
The spend of Liverpool in the transfer window, around £450m, is not far south of the total value of my club, Leeds United. #lufc is valued at £520m. Of course, Mandy Rice Davies has an appropriate quote but the disparity is bad news for the future of English football.
The quality is lacking not the quantity.
Don't think for a minute the transfer window debacle is part of a cunning plan. It's rank f*cking incompetence. Heads will roll but not of those responsible for the shitshow. #lufc
Joe Bugner has died. He was a refugee from Hungary after his country was invaded by the Soviet Union in 1956. Bloody refugee coming over here and becoming one of this country's greatest boxers.
Just imagine how embarrassing the transfer window would have been if #lufc hadn't had months of preparation.
A relation is a pathologist in Cardiff. If Wilson dies during the medical he can do the post mortem.
Presumably, he'd have a medical in Cardiff.
It's debatable whether we are stronger at the end of the transfer window than we were at the start. Big mistake to watch the Transfer Show on Sky and see what other clubs are doing. #lufc
We'll probably end up with Jimmy Callaghan. #Topical #lufc
Hope it works out for Harvey Elliott. His maturity when injured by Strijk was way beyond his years. In total contrast with Klopp.
Breaking Nigel Farage - Washington Orangeskins - Free
For what it's worth, I think you're doing a brilliant job. I suspect I'm not alone.
Like her McDonald's job on minimum wage when there wasn't a minimum wage. Badenoch has a touch of the Walter Mitty/Aldridge Prior about her. #Viz
Zoe shouldn't be alone in countering the nonsense from Ferrari and the rest of the right wing chatterarti. Where is Labour?
Before we cast our eyes enviously up the A19 at Sunderland it's worth bearing in mind they've not faced anyone decent yet. I hope they, like us, survive but it's far too early to say they've played a blinder in the transfer window. #lufc
It'll make a nice change for Trump to be with someone who loves him. Farage's smoky stale breath will also be good preparation for where Trump is going.
It was a heavy responsibility to bear at such a young age particularly deciding who should have the milk from the absent kids.
The #lufc transfer window is uncannily like the description of a World War One battle plan by #Blackadder. "It started off badly, it tailed off a little in the middle and the less said about the end the better"
The American way of people keeping their job title long after they leave the job is strange. If we did the same in the UK, I'd be Milk Monitor Smith.
I'm sure there are schools where teachers are welcomed back with grateful thanks from the SMT. For most, today is a day of bollockings. Exam results, however good, are never good enough. To every teacher on the first day of term - Have a good Bollocking Day!
Does anyone else find it difficult to type with all your fingers crossed?
Well worth between £850 and £950 per calendar month of licence payers money.
James Milner was born on the same day Phil Lynott died.
UK agrees £10bn deal to supply warships to Norway. Norway PM Jonas Gahr Store says the UK beat opposition from Germany and the US. Prime Minister Store is a man of remarkable judgement. #lufc
So the prospect of cheaper, cleaner, more secure energy is a vote loser? The Tories are no longer a serious party. Don't believe the nonsense about wind turbines. They're majestic.
A concerned mum...
Nothing has annoyed my inner luddism more than keyless entry to a car. The special cubby hole on the dash for the fob isn't necessary when the key is in the friggin' ignition.
It's a tad worrying that the overall mood of a late middle aged, healthy, financially secure bloke is mostly determined by 11 young men running around in South Leeds. #lufc
It's a tough job but in years to come when you meet ex pupils in B&Q and they're delighted to see you, it's worth it.
Top tip. Instead of producing shirts with your name on, save money by changing your name to George and buy your clothes at Asda.
A retired TA from our sons' Primary recently passed away. She was in mid 80s and had been at the school from the early 70s to 2020. She knew every child in the school. Her funeral was packed with people whose lives she touched during her career. TAs are too often overlooked. Their impact is huge.
Polly impersonating Sybil on #FawltyTowers vibe. Glad he's wearing his name on his shirt to remind him who he is.
Badenoch is in the pocket of the fossil fuel lobby. She is building on her proud unblemished record of being on the wrong side of every issue.
The reaction of the fans at The Stadium of Light to their late winner, not a mobile in sight, shows why #safc is an asset to the Premier League. Ditto #lufc.
Everton, Arsenal, Newcastle - 4 points. That'll do. #lufc
One and a half Roger Bannisters #lufc
We've been competitive against a top 6 side for 45 minutes. That's a feather in the team's cap. Now do the same again.
My usual companion for #lufc games is waiting for a replacement knee op. Watching a Bielsa side was painful for him with the regular getting from his seat to stand up. Watching this team doesn't present the same problem.
If the pitch was 25 yards shorter we'd be terrific. #lufc
Don't think the result is a disaster. Brentford look vulnerable.
Fear Farke's selection is the football equivalent of the Two Ronnies Mastermind sketch where Corbett gives the answer to the previous question. Today's team would have been a better fit for the Arsenal game. #lufc
Totally agree.
A potential good day for #lufc when our rivals for relegation - Brentford, Sunderland, Burnley and Manchester United are all drawing.
Looks like there could be a shock on the cards at Old Trafford this afternoon.
He can still get to Elland Road by 5.30!!!
Hope the rumours of buying Hamer aren't true. He's nowhere near the level we require and he shouldn't be bought because there's no-one better. Like trying to buy the Blood on the Tracks LP and being offered Saved. #lufc
The biggest clue to whether rumours of Trump's demise are correct is if Melania is seen smiling for once.
Of course, the late Queen was a Remainer. She'd seen the impact of war in Europe as a child and her actions as Head of the Commonwealth showed she knew the value of nations cooperating. Only someone without a functioning cortex would think otherwise.
I'm not really but the alternative, mid table in The Championship, was worse.
The people protesting outside the Epping hotel are more of a danger to the public than the residents inside.
Recall watching the reports the following day on Look North from Newcastle. The reporter just couldn't believe how good we were and how Toon were utterly outplayed. How times change. #lufc
Trump will die soon. His enablers and apologists won't. There's a place in Hell reserved for these charlatans.
Dutifully parroted by every news outlet. As Graham Chapman put it "it's all getting a bit silly"
At least hacks on the Telegraph and Mail staff are spared Angela Rayner entering the newsroom and shouting "show us your cock, young 'un" Scarred for life!
I mistakenly thought today's game was a 3pm kick off not the tea time Sky game. It makes no difference, I just wanted it to be over sooner. #lufc
I know the 12th August is the start of the grouse shooting season but I didn't realise it was also when the craven halfwits in the right wing press began their pathetic anti Angela Rayner campaign. Posh boys are really scared of girls from council estates.
Me too.
I dip into @skynewsrss.bsky.social for a few minutes a few times a day. It is no exaggeration to say all the items on the TV at the time, for the last few days and more, are about migrants. For Jon Craig, it's like friggin' Christmas.
I live in a predominantly white constituency. The first such constituency to elect a BAME MP, the hugely popular Ashok Kumar. It's truly sad to travel around the area and see the graffiti and needless flag displays.
Totally agree.
Rory's recordings never matched his live performances IMHO.
Easy. Unfortunately, the other features of a modern car are truly annoying. Keyless entry, lane assist and a dashboard that has "migraine waiting to happen" on display. The best car I've ever driven is a Mk1 Golf GTI. 4 speed, no power steering, manual windows. Like shit off a hot shovel.
My first 3 proper gigs in 1973 were Led Zeppelin, Rory and Rory again. It was mostly downhill after that!
Over the years, we've had men like RFK Jr at our foodbank. Intelligent but mentally damaged after years of Class A drug abuse. Unemployable and spending all day trawling the internet. Thankfully, he only gets a food parcel not the role of Health Secretary.
That's not true.
It must be confusing being Angela Rayner. She attends opera at Glyndebourne, she gets criticised. She vapes on an inflatable canoe, she gets criticised. A working class woman isn't something to be.
The way he conspired to get the QPR goalkeeper sent off, season before last, was a work of genius.
Not the first to point out that the Bielsa era players were good people. Bamford is typical. Generous, empathetic, articulate, self effacing and aware of his role outside football. Whatever the next chapter in his life involves, he'll be a success. #lufc
The right wing press editorial guidelines -Farage in a pub drinking beer and smoking a fag - OK. -Angela Rayner in an inflatable canoe vaping - Not OK
Pat Bamford's career, like most of the promotion side of 2020, reached its peak under Bielsa. The fact that so many players played at the ceiling of their ability so consistently under Bielsa is jaw-dropping. End of an era. #lufc
Not a surprise but still a bit sad. Feels like the end of an era. A very happy one. Patrick is a smart bloke, the world is his lobster. #lufc
The look of a man who regrets asking Gerry Francis for the name of a decent male hairdresser.
I daydream when I driving. Changing gear helps my concentration. I'm not convinced.
Fair point!
Don't know how about other #mufc fans but a friend who's a long time fan reckons the 74/75 season spent in Div 2 was one of his most enjoyable. Relegation exorcised the ghost of Sir Matt. Perhaps it'll do the same for Sir Alex.
Ha! My fear is he'll be very patient and draw attention to my behaviour 20 years ago.
And Zirkzee..
I've never driven a car with automatic transmission. In a bit of role reversal my son is giving me a driving lesson in his car today. I've warned my wife to expect me home at around 10.30 sobbing and complaining that how can I expect to get any better if all he does is criticise.
The owners of Manchester United have already reacted to the defeat at Grimsby by sacking two canteen staff, a cleaner and a trainee who works in the ticket office.
Wish I could stop myself saying Ruben Amorin in the same Manchester accent as on every Propaganda. #lufc @thesquareball.net
To quote a famous son of Grimsby, Bernie Taupin, its a little bit funny. #GRIMUN
It's a strong Man Utd side too. Absolutely hilarious.
Grimsby are pummelling Manchester United. No fluke they're two nil up. #GRIMUN
