Who is this glendening tit now?

 

[cheekybids]

now going to read it lol

I’m going to do an experiment, on his timeline I’m going to write the Dippers should have got a life ban for Heysel.

I reckon within 30 seconds I’ll have proved City fans aren’t the most vociferous defenders of their club.

 

[HelloCity]

They’re not journalists, they’re social media influencers.

A massive sex pest, allegedly.

Liked the end of that, after they had said he’d fancied himself as a comic and a womaniser.

“In reality, every night on Twitter is punctuated with Comedy Baz’s ham-fisted flails in the direction of any woman regardless of age or availability. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen an overweight, ageing football journalist try to flirt, but it has all the grim horror and can’t-look-away amazement as an M25 pile-up.

We’ll finish, as we probably always should, with a short anecdote which perfectly encapsulates the man. A while back, as compliant with Twitter Dickhead Law, yer man posted a photo of some booze on Twitter. What he didn’t realise was that it linked to his flickr account, the previous photo being him, standing, walloper in hand, presumably sent to one of the many girls he talks to. How did he react to the only funny thing he’s ever done? He denied it, deleted the picture, refused to discuss it, and blocked anyone who dared mention it. There’s your sense of humour”.

You need to take things far more seriously. This is serious stuff. Get a fucking grip.

I’d have fallen over a few times if I didn’t get a grip...

If only someone would start a twitter account as an attractive young woman and lead him on, the PM's could be gold.

Someone get on it.

I don't think they're lead by the editorial, that veers too much into conspiracy, but I do think they place far, far too much faith in their friends' opinions, and 1 or 2 names who have been dug in for a long while have told them their side of things and they've all swallowed it whole.

Max Rushden, for example, has probably had a water-cooler conversation with Conn or Liew and believed everything they've said which is why he'd write a line like this in his article -

There are Manchester City fans who believe with total conviction that Uefa, and the highly experienced adjudicatory committee, are all prepared to risk their reputations with this verdict because they don’t like Manchester City. It is a stretch to suggest the former prime minister of Belgium really is that irked by City fans booing the Champions League anthem.
​

I'm pretty sure Max has no idea who the fuck Yves Leterme is, or how he was at the centre of the controversy around ignoring independent evidence to save PSG from FFP, despite outcry from his colleagues and without justification, delivering a verdict so corrupt that Rodriguez de Cunha sent it back to be reopened because it was not acceptable.

He probably doesn't know he was kicked out of his last job because of accusations of "discrimination, preferential treatment and harassment". If he did, you would doubt he'd use him as the bastion of justice and mock City fans for thinking he might not be on the level.

I would be surpised if he even knew Yves Leterme by name, but his mates Dave and Jonny told him how disingenuous and outright dangerous it was for Manchester City to doubt the credibility of The former Belgian Prime-Minister so he chucks it in his article. "Ha ha ha, silly tribal City fans..."


Edit - And by the way, it is painfully funny that so many people refer to Leterme as such as if to say - "This guy is legit! A Prime Minister, City fans, he's not going to be bent!"

Oh of course. Because there's nothing dodgy about Boris, May, Cameron, Brown or Blair, is there? They're former prime ministers, you can't question that integrity. They aren't going to do anything to besmirch their reputations!

Interesting that they make out Leterme can’t be bent as he was former Prime Minister of Belgium, without talking about Leterme who I personally would describe “shady as fck”

Does that work as it’s Belgium or would any country do?

I don’t see this working for Trump,” he’s honest he’s the President of the US of A “ so what countries does it work for?

UK - it’s Boris he’s honest & a man of the people, going back to Blair who isn’t going to Lie about weapons of mass destruction for personal benefit is he.

I wonder why being a deputy prime minster of a country also means your honesty can be questioned.

Well if Rabin is a 'bot' then the future has well and truly arrived.
I can't even get Alexa to turn off my fucking lights without 4 or 5 attempts so if Rab is just an autonao, nonanum, automonamatic, .....fucking robot, then where do I buy one ?
In fact fuck that I want two.

I’ve suspected for a while that Marvin is a paranoid android.

Needs 'Max Headroom' to get his viewpoint across.
