I expanded on the thought in the next sentence. The yellow, or even white, in other badges helps add a bit of contrast/interest to the shirt, and I think the new badges are missing that. Having said that in the two minutes since my first post both of these badges have started growing on me. I just think they need a white border or something to add some interest, but I also just realised that I don't really care that much! EDIT (I care more than I realise): I like the crest more—it just needs a white border. It's modern and interesting. The round badge is a bit predictable.

Everything is too claret and blue. It just makes the shirt look messy and doesn't add any interesting accents/details. I prefer the current badge tbh even though the lion completely disappears when looked at from a distance.

It seems to be reverting to the same line as between 2000-2010, when we were in the EU. Judging by that graph it only seems to have jumped with the Tories coming into power (well, I understand these things are more complicated than they seem, so it's just an empty observation). But a graph like that is always going to bounce up and down, and two years of it not bouncing isn't really evidence of anything—and immigration is still going up anyway, as in it hasn't reduced at all, but increased only to a lesser amount. It's still increasing though.

I'm pretty sure your graph is saying it didn't come true.

Wasn't he back a few days ago? I mean, I guess if he was back a few days ago then it's good news that he's also back today too. (I might be wrong!)

It wasn't his mad scheme in the first place so I'd say it's hard to pin this one on him. That's as far as I'll go though.

Nah but the tweet from the account (a self-labelled parody account) says otherwise.

The blue tick is used to confirm authenticity. Twitter wouldn't be nearly as popular if it didn't have a load of famous people on it, and they are the advertising draw, so they are a lot of the value of the platform. And if it's $8 to get a blue tick there goes the linked-authenticity of the blue tick, so Twitter becomes even more a platform of disinformation and even less functional.

He's probably like a few on here who listen to the bullshit from the likes of Farage, The Daily Mail and the Tories without question and grossly exaggerate the problem in their heads. In a way they're just confused, and maybe a little scared. So perhaps they need sympathy. Or, otherwise, he's just a prick.

Just for clarity here, in 2021 30,000 people came over in small boats and 10% of them were indeed illegal immigrants, so we're talking 3,000 people, which is not a significant portion of half a million. (Of course, of the half a million people who moved to the UK, plenty of people left too, like I did a few years ago.) But this is a discussion about boats and illegal immigrants, so the main figures are—3,000 illegal immigrants came over on boats last year. Presumably plenty of them were sent back too and had their rights to stay rejected, as is the law. It's noticable that small boat crossings have shot up once 'Brexit' kicked in—from 299 in 2018, 1,843 in 2019, to 8,466 in 2020, roughly 30,000 in 2021. Brexiters seem to be endlessly incompetent, **** up the one thing they thought they were getting a handle on.

I know this isn't a very useful comment, but I am often stunned by just how much of a prick he is.

Davis doing well and Nick not comfortable with that? Same old same old.

I'd give him a chance before a few other midfielders not at their best right now, but the truth is we are overloaded in midfield and that doesn't make sense for our wage bill. Someone is going to go. Sadly I think this is a big part of him being set to move on. Who knows what happens with Emery though.

The more time that passes, the more surprised I am that we have him. I can't believe that the Fulham game was only last week. Things change quickly in football!

Haven't you described most of the American Bible belt too? And plenty of other Christians tbh. I mean, Giorgia Meloni got quite a lot of support for railing against gay characters in Peppa Pig. Who'd have thought uber conservative people of all faiths are a bunch of pricks.

Unless there's some rule I'm missing then it's Hi-meh A-ree-as.

He was coming to the end of his contract I think (I might be wrong), which makes me wonder if he's on a particularly high wage in an area where we're absolutely stacked. The emergence of Ramsey, McGinn's accumulated credit at the club, and Sanson's injury haven't helped him, but if he is on big wages and is down the pecking order if makes him an obvious one to move on for that reason rather than him not being good enough. It's a possibility anyway. I know we went on to sign Dendonker, but he is a proper DM. Only the idiot Gerrard was playing Dendonker as an 8 where Sanson would play.

I googled this

I did this too! The book is incredible.

What were the comments out of interest?

I don't think Guilbert was given a place in the squad.

That describes McGinn, Bailey and of late Ramsey too. I'm not sure it describes Luiz.

It's ok Dougie. You barely did anything. Mitrovic is just a pathetic cheat.

Truss and Gerrard in one day!

Is this like that game where you add one more thing every time and see what you can remember? The new manager needs to take the captaincy off him, bench him, and...
