  1. Can't agree there pal. I know a few Wolves lads. Anyone over the age of 40 have us up there with West Brom as most hated team. We inflicted a lot of damage to them. From them getting twatted all over Burnden Park during their probably darkest hours getting beat by Chorley over a few ties in the cup to beating them in the cup a few years later during their uprising. Then we beat them 5-1, season after we do them in the play offs after McGinlays wee push. Two seasons later we do them twice with all the antics with SJM and lofty. SJM with a brace their and a goal at home after his keeepy uppies before the game and subsequent 22 man brawl. Few seasons later we stop them getting in the play offs beating them on that Friday night with Gardner bagging. Then we pretty much send them down with an SKD masterclass. They fucking hate us
  2. It wasn't the screeching gammons on social media or the wallies chanting at darts matches that got Starmer out if office. It was his own party.
  3. I’d love to know why anyone feels that there is a need for one Labour (the party) were elected for a term. They should serve it. I didn’t vote for them but happily accepted that they should be given the chance to right the wrongs of the previous incumbents Starmer failed. I feel a tad sorry for him. I’m sure that he’s a decent man. But not a PM Not convinced about Burnham but he needs the chance to prove himself and I hope that he does. We need a decent government desperately
  4. He started replying about 2pm it will be posted a little after 4 Sounds like the Swiss have been generous once more. I am sure all will be revealed in the next couple of hours
  5. Any change of PM should've been done by the proper process i.e. hitting the trigger for a leadership challenge and then having a proper but swift leadership election The drip feeding of resignations, as we saw with the Tories and now with the Labour Party, to fundermine tge authority of whoever the PM is and force the personal ambitions of certain MPs is childsih nonsense Personally, I think people might quickly become disillusioned with Burnham the more they're exposed to him but if there's one thing the country desperately needs at the minute, it's a bit of hope and optimism and it's not difficult to see why he appeals to people Best of luck
  6. Just watched his resignation speech. We really didn't need that music playing in the background. Whatever you think of him, as Prime Minister, I think he deserved 5 minutes to say his piece to the British people with a bit of dignity.
  7. Just a month on from losing ours and we're still struggling. Went up over the moors yesterday morning on a route we often took the lad. 2 big, daft chocolate labs came bounding over and wanted fussing. I could see the Mrs choking up as she played with them. We will get another dog or dogs in time but right now, we just want our old pal back. 😢

    Announcing that we are looking to offload those two is the equivalent of holding a press conference to say you are putting Sluffy on ignore.
  9. Madness really, all because he's a bit dull and methodical. Anyone who thinks Burnham will get an easier ride because he's 'more charismatic' is fucking puddled.
  10. It’s beginning to look a bit shitty all this speculation and camping outside No. 10. I’m not his biggest fan but he is our PM and deserves a bit more dignity. The media and Labour politicians aren’t coming out of this with any credit at all. Yes the Tories were the same.
  11. No way. I’ve respectfully let them be as we’ve been divisions apart. It’s now back and I really don’t like them. Looking forward to it and everything super that comes with it.

    The best thing about it
  13. No he didn't. The levels of ridicule and hate thrown at him during his time as PM have been embarrassing quite frankly. He's not set the world on fire. Like all PMs he's made some good decisions and some questionable ones. Some I've agreed with, some I haven't. There was a meme someone posted on here earlier comparing him to Stalin that I couldn't even be arsed responding to that sums up the ridiculous nature of the criticism pretty well. He's been a fairly steady pair of hands. Mandleson was the only severe fuck up that I can recall. He's dealt with Trump well on the whole. Made the right call on big issues like Iran and Ukraine. Made some decent inroads into immigration. Jury is still out on the economy - but these things take a long time to turn themselves around. His biggest failure has been the difficulty he has had building a coherent or communicating it. But anybody claiming he is the worst British Prime Minister of all time is just suffering with a bad case of recency bias.
  14. We will never play them again. And that’ll be soon enough.
  15. Did he really though, considering what he inherited? I suspect the history books will be very kind to him, and rightly so.
  16. His real name is Karl Marx

    Sounds like a boozer in Whitechapel
  18. He was over for the Stockport game stopped about a week or so..
  19. Poor Thing is thinking Who The Fuck Are You Now
  20. He's just messed himself.
  21. for all the external noise and discontent, KS would still be PM if he had the backing of his own party / MPs ultimately they're the ones who have hounded him out now let's see if Burnham can unite them
  22. Sadly I'm all for allowing protest but if he's pointlessly interrupting announcements outside Downing Street he needs pulling to one side because it's drifted into being a public order offence
  23. There is will very little change I would have thought - he might be better at the comms, but I honestly think we're here ecause of knee jerk silliness from a lot of people. We're finally seeing some real changes - i know in renting and buying houses its certainly directly helped me which is the first time in a long time, and these are issues that needed addressing, along with some very positive changes. I think as a country this might not be a good thing, and I'd rather we had a less partisan media and calmer heads in the country that would allow some of this work to bed in properly. But its like when you lose thw confidence of say a client, no matter how good the work, you just never get it back and someone else takes credit for doing the same things. Anyway, they're all moot points now, I hope Burnham can be a good PM for the country.
  24. What's really really weird is I've never heard anyone slag off Starmer in person. Maybe that's just the circles I move in, but it's just not a thing. He's just meh. All I've seen is people on Facebook soapboxes, a huge echo chamber. Or people who think memes are political. Burnham won't even make it as far as the next GE, the way things are.
  25. Amazing how many people who have screeching about Starmer on Facebook are now saying Burnham will be worse.
  26. If anything he'll get a much tougher ride, especially if there turns out to be no leadership contest, the lack of mandate and publicly laid out policies will harm him and lead to pressure for a GE. But, I do believe he will have a much better grasp of his comms and getting a better message out there than Starmer was able to.
  27. Whatever your views on who would be best leader of the Labour Party or your own political preferences watching the Prime Minister be selected by a process that is more like X Factor than our established democratic processes and traditions just feels very shabby.
  28. 2 years is probably as long as any PM will ever last from now on I think. I just can’t see social media morons (on either side) letting anyone last longer. The Tories are keeping a fairly low profile these days, which is probably clever. When Burnham is booted out late next year and people are a bit fed up with reform, they will once again emerge as the best of a bad bunch.
  29. Reminds me of a podcast I was listening to a year or two ago, had a Wolves fan on it saying Bolton Wanderers ruined the 90s for us. Get in 😂
  30. They’ll be licking their lips at the thought of playing us…. They don’t like us to this day… bloody lovely, bring it on!
  31. I blame the Muslim grooming gangs on Muslims targeting young white girls and the social services and police force that stood by and let it happen because they were scared to stoke racial tensions and it was easier to blame the victims and turn and blind eye. I blame the rise in sexual assaults by Afghan men on the establishment allowing thousands of men to arrive and live here with completely different values and views on young women. A situation completely avoidable. I blame the attacks on Jewish folk on pro Palestinian nut jobs talking aim at people that have no part to play in anything in the middle east. I blame folk rioting and setting fire to hotels to house on an immigration issue that's been left to spiral out of control. All believing a narrative that all the issues we face in life is down to immigration and such like. The latter was always going to be a product of what's been allowed to happen. Muslims were allowed to rape girls on an industrial scale. That's not fed bullshit. That's fact. Absolute fact. Just because there's other societal issues does not detract from that situation. There's problems with social services and lack or funding and bad practice that lead to Baby P and the Poor Blackpool kid. But that's another situation entirely. Who else can anyone blame but those in charge of the country?
  32. I don't mean this in any disrespectful sense but I'm surprised you've posted this because it feels like quite a lot of your posts are pretty much exactly that
  33. Not in Blackpool
  34. to be fair theres only you, and understandably Gonzo, who give a shite about playing Blackpool, who aren't a rival
  35. it's not at all surprising Starmer was just the face of Labour folk wanted them out before they got in they don't want a good labour government they want reform when I say they, I mean old Tory / Labour voters and new reform voters hopefully Burnham will do enough to bring some of their ex voters back
  36. Yup the Bee network is fantastic. And its good to hear they're integrating it to the train network in coming years.
  37. I’d rather have starmer than burnham.
  38. The cap and abolishing the time restrictions for concessions. 👍 The Bee Network has also been a success in my opinion. Remember where the money came from though. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/city-region-sustainable-transport-settlements-developing-proposals/city-region-sustainable-transport-settlements-guidance-for-mayoral-combined-authorities I’ll also give him credit for beating a plumber from Wigan in a constituency that has voted for a Labour MP since the party was formed👍 Being PM of the UK could be a completely different matter though. Most of us won’t have a say in it at the moment though, unfortunately. Yes, just like the Tories.
  39. You are correct. I am only one hour off UK time and it's been better than I would have had down under.
  40. Depends on the time of year as much as anything. Range says 220 on ours but it’s nearer to 180 with motorway driving. Did Burton and back no problem on a nice day, but when it was colder we had to charge by Keele on the way back!

    And apologies if this triggers the anti-scouser brigade. But delighted for Wee Mo. Huge pressure on him, what a guy.
  42. All those vape shops selling powder on the sly will be rolling in it.
  43. Sorry to hear that. The heat of the next few days won't help neither. Fortunately my "poorly" one seems to be on the mend. Will be on antibiotics for at least 3 weeks as a precaution if it is Lyme's disease.
  44. Was only saying today I wouldnt be at all surprised if in tournaments to come (especially if we go to 64) the groups were replaced by a league table where not everyone plays eachother, as we now have in the Champions League. Currently I'm watching it, not overly disliking it, but not finding it essential either as I have done in the past. I'm also finding it very hard to remember off the top of my head who is in each group and even who some teams played in their first game. I want international tournaments to be a break and a rare treat away from club football, but I dont need 5 weeks of it 😃
  45. Aye i miss him and me mam every single day .

  47. The red bastards need crushing at the earliest opportunity if absolute ruin is to be avoided.
  48. Lost my old man ,when I was 21 he was 44 . I thought he was old,it was only as I got older and had my own kids that I realised how young he was and how much of life lay before him. He never knew me as a real adult ,we never got to share adult experiences , I never got to chew the fat with him or go to him for the advice that only a dad could give .He never got to see me or my sister become parents and he never got to meet any of his 4 grand kids .I dont really miss him because it feels almost like I never had him and apart from the night he passed the memories are fading . I just wish he could have been around a bit longer
  49. Yeah I lost my Dad a couple of years ago through COPD at the age of 66 (quit smoking if you can chaps). It's weird with me. I tend not to get emotional on particular days (birthdays, fathers days etc). It just tends to hit me at odd moments. And to be fair - I'm too distracted by the full English breakfast socks I have been thoughtfully gifted this morning to think about anything else today. Raise a glass for him today Dr F 💪
