Sorry Lew, it’s got to be you.

Joey Barton is just a c*nt. Always has been.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Don’t forget Giggs, if it wasn’t for his Utd connection and that 92 bullshit he’d have been exposed a long while ago…

The likes of Giggs and Barton are always with us. I’m being parochial this week. Not that Lew is anything like the other two. He strikes me as someone fundamentally decent but just a bit misguided, and stubborn. If it was c*nt of the week, Lew wouldn’t stand a chance.

Is Lew really a contender? He did get more wound up with the statement from the club than seemed necessary, but from what I've seen over the weekend, there are probably 95% of people not wearing masks despite the government encouraging them. So despite all of the bickering, most people would seem to be in line with his train of thought.

Ah yes PP but those poor unfortunates are clearly the unwashed and ill educated, unlike the wise founts of all knowledge and covid on the Fishy.😉
This thread is supposed to be exclusively footie, who ignored that?

In Footie Giggs, Barton or Rooney. The latter for proving to be such an easy mark yet again. Wait till Colleen gets hold of him …… when she’s finished with Mrs Vardy of course.

I am honoured in a way to be in the running with some of football's greats.

I think I may have found a possible explanation why my post, and subsequent defending of it wound people up so much.

My understanding of the word "encouraged" was to mean "persuasion to do or continue doing something" (from the Oxford dictionary) which I found unnecessary as people were free to make up their own minds now that restrictions had been lifted and I knew it would be ignored anyway.

However, the Oxford dictionary also says it can mean "the action of giving someone support confidence or hope" which is much less of an instruction but more of a precautionary note which is not a problem as I said at the start that anybody wishing to wear one, even outside, of course can if they so wish.

Another possible explanation, and more likely, is that you lot think I am a twit.

Another one who entirely misses the point.

The poster in question made a point about a football club on a football forum, about a request by that football club for people to wear a mask at a football match, and then proceeded to discuss what people did at that football match. As opposed to the other candidates who let themselves down in various ways away from football.
