yeah, the Nike England flag business is it. the end. the thing that's fully tipped me over the edge. a perfect example of how much potential we've squandered here and how much time we've all wasted. bye.
Every time a new Game of Thrones thing comes out, I remember that time we had to watch a live stream of a block of ice melting — not for 5 mins but for a painful hour. A real “you had to be there” moment. Its why this industry is hard to parody, the self parody is already there
apropos of nothing (well not entirely nothing but):
MMLP
SSLP
Eminem Show
(big gap)
Relapse
MMLP2
MTBMB-Side B
Recovery
MTBMB-Side A
Kamikaze
Encore
Revival
@janhopi that's fair - such a shame Milner and Phillips (or even Gareth Barry tbh!) aren't part of the England set-up anymore cos they'd be perfect as a bit of a foil for Rice & Bellingham imo. Foden & Saka either side of Kane and it's pretty dangerous imo.
@janhopi tbf i do think England would do better with someone sat beside Rice cos you want his box-to-box qualities don't you, and with Bellingham also there you're gonna need a runner/jobber to stitch it together
@fireh9lly (also i know it's on Side A but Godzilla probably the most capital-F Fun i've had with an Em single since Without Me (!!!) so make of that what you will)
@fireh9lly haven't listened to it as much as you clearly (!) but i remember re-doing all of Em's albums basically in one sitting about 12 months ago. got through the swamp of Revival and Kamikaze, reached MTBMB - for the first time - and thought "ooh this is a bit better isn't it".
@huwareyou@NoahPasternak often wonder what world we'd be living in now if he'd been able to carry on, if True Love Ways had been the start of a new era instead of coming right before the end.
.@MCFCfoodbank spokesperson: "Every year Pep says, 'We need our people', but his mates make it harder for our people to be there. Our core support, who have been following our local club for years and years through it all, has had repeated price increases for over a decade..."
even if you're a seriously committed TERF how much self-awareness do you have to lack to get yourself in such a position. surely at some point you've got to take a step back and realise you're a 60 y/o man getting all flustered and upset at the sight of a 17 y/o kid.
yeah SEO headlines have to be short etc. but saying a teacher was sacked for 'refusing to use pronouns' is a woefully disingenuous misrepresentation of what's actually happened here.
