[I'm With Stupid]

Has Scruffy Jim surfaced today ? Seen nowt on Sky or the BBC.
What’s he had for Sunday Dinner?

Humble pie.

Why are the media constantly saying scruffy Jim has taken over the rags? He's bought a fucking stake in the club, it's not a takeover.

Because it sounds much better and more newsworthy than 'extremely rich bloke couldn't be arsed to part with smallish amount of his overall wealth to purchase the club that he 'loves'......... :-)

Humble pie.

Not cottage pie, then?

I've heard that off the rags in work, what needs to occur for that to be definite?

For the scum to get 5th.

I had quite an interesting Rag yesterday, didn't know him from Adam but he started to talk to me about football and asked who I supported. As soon as I said I was a blue the usual bullshit started. (Not about the charges (for a fucking change) but about the players. For a bit of fun I decided to just go with the flow and agree with whatever he said. To cut a long story short by the end of the conversation I was in total agreement with him that when fit their squad is every bit as strong as ours, they would have been serious challengers for the league without injuries, Ten Hag will turn them into them into a top 3 side next season with a strong run in the CL. I even agreed with him that I can see a valid argument that Ratcliffe should receive funding from the Government for a new stadium.

There were three big take aways from this chat.
1. Fucking hell they believe everything that they get spoon fed by the media and believe their own hype.
2. It was so much easier just playing along while laughing inside than trying to argue with them.
3. You couldnt get the grin of my face thinking of this prick at full time yesterday

Everybody to their own I suppose. I prefer putting them in their place and shutting the fuckers up.

Seeing that actually just winds me up and further illustrates how stuffy they've been these last few seasons.

They should be firmly in the bottom half of the table, no where near the European qualification places and just a few places below us.

They truly are their own worst enemies. Long may the lack of self awareness continue!

There should be retrospective bans for horrible cheating scum.like this.

How many players were actually sent off retrospectively.
I only remember Aguero.
That reeked of corruption.
