Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

[stdP]

What’s funny about it?

I'm not much in to football but the dude in white is clearly pointing at the hilarious news item about coronavirus surges in maternity wards that are unable to cope. Oh my aching sides, can I please see a doctor?

 

[Serge Forward]

What’s funny about it?

Nothing

 

[Elpenor]

I suppose it is the Manchester Guardian so at least slightly relevant

Try asking someone from Liverpool or anyone who has a remote interest in the beautiful game.

don't think i'll bother as i doubt i'd understand it

I don't know much about football but I do know it is very very good when Manchester United lose.

Tell me you're not bitter.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Would never have seen a result like that back in my day - and at Old Trafford too!

I'm not sure whether this belongs here on in "thanks, Brexiteers!" but... an op-ed on the ToryScum threatening to override the rule of law now that we've taken back control by some dude called David Davis:

Be warned: this government is robbing you of your right to challenge the state | David Davis

The bill designed to prevent government actions being reconsidered in the courts is un-conservative and undemocratic, says the Conservative MP David Davis

Oh, I dunno. That season we got relegated to division 2 had its moments. Mind you, that division 2 season was the best ever at Old Trafford

 

[Santino]

Tell me you're not bitter.

I don't know if you're joking, I simply know that Manchester United are bad.

 

[Serge Forward]

In 7th place, won 4, lost 3, drawn 2... and the media and ABUs cream in their kecks and call for Solskjaer's head

A couple of bad games. We'll be reet, unless the Glazer scum give him the chop.

Today's front page is dominated by some blokes kicking a ball around. It was bloody funny though.

As that's Monday's paper and the Budget is a Tuesday thing, Headline should be 'Chancellor's misconduct in public office.'

Well Man Utd are a massive corporation with an enormous 'plastic' fanbase and dodgy American owners, who were incredibly successful in the 90s and 2000s so it's funny when they lose, whereas Liverpool are exactly the same but were successful in the 70s and 80s so it's different. Make sense?

Nope!

That's the tip of the ice berg. Supported by glory hunters who won't support their local team. Were beaten at home by their great rivals...not just beaten, but thrashed

Nobody gives a shit outside of Liverpool fans and weirdos.

 

[Serge Forward]

Or Citeh fans

ETA I suppose they could be included with the weirdos.

Sorry is this Man U or Liverpool here?

 

[Serge Forward]

United, not U... please

It was the talk of the day in work yesterday, even by non football people.

Last weekend's "Saturday" magazine had over twenty pages of very worthy pre-COP climate change coverage.

Preceding it was a double page spread advertising some kind of car.

They've been doing that for years. They've always defended it on the grounds that taking the dirty money enables them to increase their climate change coverage. Leaves a pretty bad taste in the mouth.

 

[Dogsauce]

United, not U... please

I believe the correct term is actually ‘Man Ure’

Hyuk hyuk

United got beat. Media goes menckle so even non football people are talking! My my.

 

[kabbes]

You seem to have misspelt “thrashed”

Not here. No one talks about football or politics

I know a Spurs fan who talks about ‘glory hunters’ but surely winning things is the idea?
