...but the White House press conferences/briefings are pure comedy gold. There's no way that political satires would have gone this far - they'd have been accused of being ridiculous.
I think my favourite is the props. They love a prop. |

Thread | Another pet peeve
at 19:32 20 Apr 2025
I know you didn't even ask for the first one, but...
Why do pundits etc spend all pre-match saying how they expect Arsenal to be a lot better than us and then pretend to be surprised during the game when Arsenal are a lot better than us? |

Thread | Pet peeve
at 19:28 20 Apr 2025
This is a pointless post, but I *have* to get this off my chest.
Apparently we're basically down because of the goal difference. Nonsense. In the (incredibly) unlikely event that we win 4 straight games and West Ham lose 4 straight games then the goal difference swing will probably mean that if we beat them well on the final day we will stay up on goal difference.
It's obviously irrelevant, but it annoys me when people forget how maths works. |

When Ralf Little brings Sheridan Smith home and she's a vegetarian, and they don't know what to feed her. So Nana says "can she have wafer thin ham?"...
...that's what it's been like on here this afternoon talking about Delap. |

Thread | Your worst ITFC take
at 11:09 2 Apr 2025
As if often the case when you're losing every week, everyone has their own take on the situation. But what's the worst ITFC take you're willing to admit to?
I'll go first:
I thought Darren Ambrose would get 100 caps for England. |

Thread | This season has been weird.
at 17:07 11 Mar 2025
There are 10 games left, and my overriding emotion is that I'm looking forward to it being over...but there's no doubt that there is something a bit special about the showbiz football in the PL. A bit like going out with a supermodel and their friends every weekend.
Might be nice to have another go in a year or two..? |

Thread | The money we have spent
at 13:53 27 Feb 2025
Was clearly not spent to prevent relegation, it was spent to bolster the club generally. If your only ambition was to stay up then you'd go and buy/get seasoned professionals, pay them stupid wages and recognise that they'll all be gone if you go down. That's not what we've done, we've bought players to help the club continue to grow. We might not have got all those right of course, but that's another debate. |

Thread | Relegation season bingo
at 10:55 27 Feb 2025
We've still got a few to tick off on our relegation season bingo sheet, but so far I think we have:
Inexplicably dodgy decisions going against us
Losing when 2-0 up
Having a player sent off when winning and then not winning
Conceding multiple goals in one frantic period
Getting hammered multiple times at home
Conceding late goals
Inexplicably winning games we shouldn't have had a chance with
Bad injury record, including freak injuries
Multiple goalkeepers
Loads of team changes every week
Patronising, ill-formed media nonsense
Managers we've taken points from really confused and/or furious
Failing to beat 10 men
Giving up multiple winning positions
Limp performances in winnable games
Comedy own goals
Waste of money accusations
And the ones we've not ticked off yet:
'Worst team ever' accusations
Manager sacking with limp or no new manager bounce
17 year old academy product saviour that barely plays in future years and disappears
Losing the dressing room/players fighting
Manager calling out the players
Anything I've missed?

Thread | Just a thought...

...but when people talk about us having overpaid for players, they're just guessing aren't they? How can you possibly know you've overpaid until they leave?!
