Duck Egg

BadEnoch seems to be getting cut a lot of slack amidst Labour's capitulation. Council elections for the main opposition, particularly 2 years after a GE, usually see strong support yet they've currently lost just short of 600 seats.

4 here too but no idea what the word means. They used to make Wanderers shirts though.

No boats spotted in Westhoughton so far, so perhaps they're getting things done.

According to Facebook, Reform have won both Westhoughton council seats. The comments suggested the result will both make Keir step down and stop the boats. I had no idea our parish Council was so pivotal.

Congrats to everyone lucky enough to get em. Big responsibility now. Anyone who's not sang and shouted themselves hoarse by full time should be banned from future purchases!

I was 600 in the queue, got in at 10.04 and only singles left. Sacked it off.

I saw a Bradford fan on X last night, incredulous that we didn't have a loyalty scheme for away tickets. Meanwhile, they're camping outside the ticket office for theirs!

Lib Dems are active in my ward all year round so I'll go for them this time, although I'm tempted to show a bit of support for Zach's mob if there is a Green candidate standing.

Doku! A poundshop Cissoko

Arsenal's title now.

Shouldn't this be in the 'Things that look easy but aren't' thread?

I read a stat about him today. Only player to have scored hat tricks in England in his teens, 20s, 30s and 40s.

Had exactly this. Couldn't seem to sort it. Emailed the ticket office and they replied and had it sorted in 5 minutes. Excellent service.

Saw half a dozen lads in the shop on Saturday, Dutch I think, all buying a shirt and a scarf each. Great to see.

Agreed. In a year where Blackpool, Wigan, Tranmere, Blackburn and Tottenham looked like they could go down, Hearts could win the SPL and we could get promoted - we could end up with nothing to laugh about.

McGinlay has suggested the club asked the time added on not be displayed to prevent a pitch invasion. Feckin ludicrous if true. What the feck was all that delay in the lap of honour about, just because Luton were still on the pitch? Walk the other way round ffs!

You're not Dion Charles' dad are you?!

Definitely. Bruce issuing a rallying call before the game and the crowd really responded. The grief the Wolves players got each time they touched the ball definitely rattled a few. The Barnsley home game 2 years ago is the best atmosphere I've ever seen at the Reebok. The place was jumping that night. No wonder there was a pitch invasion. Typical of an Evatt side to lose that one though 🙄

Sorry to be picky...we didn't go 2 down at Wolves. McAteer equalised, very much against the run of play, before they got a late winner (Venus?). One thing that does show ^ - they're always tight affairs 😬

House next door is a small 3 bed semi. They've just relet it. £1100 a month. The maximum housing allowance for someone claiming UC/HB is just under £700. I don't see how its easy to live off the state if you're £400 short on your rent each month? I suppose if you're one of the lucky few who has a council property you could manage but you've no chance in the private sector.

Watched this a few times this week.

I think you're right. Didn't he get one in the 3-0 midweek(?) away win? I went to the one the year before when McGinlay scored a brace and they had a very young John Hartson up top being man marked by Jules.

It's a play off rule isn't it? Away fans are capped at 2k I think. Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday did the same in their L1 play off a few years back.

You missed out him destroying Iran's nuclear capability. After already destroying it last year. Plus, George Clooney must be absolutely fuming.
