Looks like the Athletic are struggling and people are buying coffees..

If they weren’t cunts I’d subscribe but they’ve lost me forever unless there is a dramatic attitude change towards our club & fans.

What gets me is I’d like to subscribe to a non fan boy sports paper & yet they are targeting fans of dippers & rags who can read it in the mail, sun & guardian for fuck all.

The whole profession of “Journalism” is finished these days -the only way these people can get employment nowadays as as mouthpieces for the preferred Agenda -whatever that is -and particularly in Sports Journalism that means Clickbait. True Investigative Journalism is a thing of the past -with increasingly rare exceptions.

At one time journalists used to cross over into PR, now there is no crossover.

Hence massive widespread distrust of MSM these days -a dangerous state for us all to be in

Excellent

I hate it when the bin bags aren’t locally sourced

Which instantly conjures up this classic from Phoenix Nights

"Come get your black bin bags
They're on offer 'til December
Come get your black bin bags
They're long and thin and slender
Heavy duty black bin bags
No matter what your gender
Heavy duty black bin bags
Whether bi or straight or bender...."

I hope Dave told them to do one?

Imagine telling people they are ****'s, and then expecting them to pay you for it.

I’ve heard you can go to places for that kind of treatment……

He did, but politely.

Nothing stuck up about supporting your local fresh food emporium my friend. Its a national scandal that the supermarkets who killed off your local butchers & fishmongers over many years, have now closed their "deli" offerings in recent months/years.

Tesco/Asda/Aldi/Sainsburys hang your fucking heads in shame.

And don't start me on Amazon.

Anyway, back on topic.

Absolutely bang on

Then you get lectured about sustainability & nutrition & you realise it’s all linked, fresh seasonal local food.

Our friends at the Mail carry an article about the worst clubs for abusing referees based on the fines levied. Oddly, they couldn't find a picture of united in their archives but were able to find pictures of Fulham (topical), Arsenal (most fined) and...er...City. indeed, a picture featuring Haaland has the caption "One top-flight club in particular is clear of the rest regarding fines for foul-mouthed tirades" although that club is Arsenal. And City Well;

"Manchester United (£137,000) and Everton (£115,000) are in the dubious position of being second and third. They are the only other sides to be forced to pay a six-figure sum for abuse".
