Saturday tea time international break pub chatter kills me. Someone just shouted "ANDRE BANANA IS GONE". Someone else (naturally, in this modern era of faux outrage) said that was a bit racist. His reply was nonsense, hilarious and bull shit all in one reply. "David De Gay ain't gay, so what?" 😂🤣

America elected a compromised Russian asset. TWICE! That asset is now systematically destroying America ON EVERY LEVEL because his handlers are telling him to. And nobody is doing a mother fucking thing about it. Goodbye, America. It was nice knowing you.

Erik ten Hag is a charlatan. Bayer Leverkusen saw this after a few weeks. Manchester United took 2 and a half years to notice how fucking awful he was at building a squad and thus set us back many years in terms of squad quality. He deserves a slap for spending so much money on bang average players.

This flag was flown aboard Blackbeard's ship Queen Anne's Revenge.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social) reply parent
For example; this is Edward Teach' flag. He wasn't as prolific as some would have you believe. Blackbeard was only famous because the Carolina Governer who killed him made a big deal out of it.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social)
This is the traditional Pirate flag. But it was one of many. All ships had their own. THIS particular one was created by 'Calico Jack'John Rackham circa 1719, for his ship The Ranger, which he inherited from Charles Vane.

One or more of the boilers was on fire even before leaving Cherbourg. Huge coal fires were raging uncontrolled which weakened the patched damage already there.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social) reply parent
The Olympis captain was the same captain who went down with Titanic. Steel plates were riveted over the damage and were supposed to have buckled in the Atlantic. The captain steered the ship onto an iceberg in the hope of keeping it afloat until California turned up. But it didn't.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social) reply parent
There has long been an insurance fraud theory. Olympic crashed into a Royal Navy ship in September 1911 and insurers wrote it off as the damage was too severe. So they switched the 2 ships' identities and planned to scuttle 'Titanic'. But the support ship got lost (The California) and people died.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social) reply parent
All surviving White Star employees were herded into a warehouse and kept there for a LONG time by White Star executives and banned from speaking to anyone, especially the press. The damage Titanic sustained is oddly similar to the damage sustained by Olympic the year before when it crashed.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social) reply parent
These are all checkable facts: Just before leaving Southampton, boiler room workers disembarked en masse in the middle of a labour crisis. Why? JP Morgan, who founded the US Federal Reserve, didn't get on the ship despite being booked on it. Why?
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social) reply parent
Not for a second am I saying there's anything in this. I just find it interesting. For what it's worth, I've always had my suspicions about the sinking. Some things simply don't add up.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social)
Here's my conspiracy theory for the day. In 1912, Titanic sank with an odd loss of lives. Several high-ranking American financiers died on that ship and they vigorously opposed the introduction of a US Central Banking System (The Federal Reserve). A year later, the US Federal Reserve was born.

I didn't see the need for him. Obi is due for his breakout this season.

Yeah I see your point with Sesko. But yeah, I would have kept Hojlund for one more season. He was bound to get more chances with Cunha/Mbeumo alongside him instead of the greedy, selfish Garnacho. At this stage I see no point in Sesko, regardless of who wanted him at some point.

Something weird about this Venezuelan boat that got vapourised by the US Navy or whoever it was. Why is it being publicised to the degree that it is? How did they know what was aboard? Why didn't they just stop it like they do every other time instead of wiping it out?
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social) reply parent
In fairness it's quite a big "one". Instead of buying 3 forward players perhaps buy 2, leaving time and cash to bring in a midfielder. Our midfield is a shambles. Massive disconnect between defence and attack with and without the ball.

Grimsby fielded an ineligible player against us. We have 5 days to appeal the punishment of a fine. If we do, I'll be seriously fucking disappointed. Just because a player forgot to go to Barrow on loan or whatever the reason is, doesn't hide the fact that they outplayed us and deserve the win.

Drug-related deaths in Scotland are the highest in Europe. Why is that? Is it really that bleak living up there? I've been there many times over the years and I've thoroughly enjoyed the place. Friendly (for the most part), staggering scenery and if you avoid certain places it's reasonably priced.

And that's the window closed. Am I pleased with our business? I believe the purchases could have done with a bit more balance. 3 forwards and not a midfielder? Glad we got a keeper.

Could we sign 2 keepers if Onana fucks off? I'm happy with the Belgian lad. I like his noise. Watch vids of him and he's always shouting at someone. I like that in a keeper. Organisation. Leadership.

We won't get both. I don't understand the hold-up with the Belgian lad. Perhaps the appeal of the Prem proven Martinez is complicating things.

Depends on the payment structure and length of contract mate. A PSR loophole if you like. We've used it. If you spread the cost of the players over several years, only the instalment you paid counts towards PSR.

I'm merely suggesting him as a candidate. I'd personally snatch the lad from Palace if a deal can be done.

He's well out of his depth mate. It's ok to disagree you know! 🤣
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social) reply parent
That's not a reason to totally dismiss him as a prospective candidate. Even interim (as I doubt quality replacements will be available now) with Keane as his assistant.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social) reply parent
But I said more than that, didn't I? Attractive, effective football and very good man-management skills are equally if not more important. The United through and through comment you placed all your emphasis on is just a bonus.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't believe that to be the case. He was offered quite a few jobs after United but wanted to stay away from footy. Regardless, we played good football under Ole (finished 2nd!), he's United through and through, his man management skills are very good. I just think he deserves and 2nd chance mate.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social)
Mourinho is unemployed again. I honestly don't know why clubs employ him anymore. But someone will, and I'd stick a few quid on Forest.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social) reply parent
But Ole failed for reasons that are no longer at the club. I fancy him with a decent football structure behind him. Wilcox is a revelation by the way. They'd work well together.
Paul (@theautist.bsky.social)
This has gone very wrong for Amorim and I can see him gone soon. Yes, it's a shame but I think when it comes it will be the right decision. His refusal to adapt tactics is my beef with him. That Europa final was there for the taking and our performance crushed me. Grimsby showed how broken it is.
