Whilst I hesitate to give anything the Mail says any credibility whatsoever I can honestly say I have never heard any songs at the Bev referring to the Falklands. Anyone else?
Not only is this a distasteful turn of phrase but it doesn't even make sense linguistically. To brand someone as a "slob" is a subjective comment about someone whose lifestyle you disagree with. There cannot be any universaL or objective definition of a slob.EastTerracer wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2024 2:59 pmSometimes I look at some of these fans who are objectively and factually slobs

I agree that the owners have made massive strides with the club since their takeover but why do they still find the need to disparage the state of the club beforehand. For example, to tell the Daily Mail that attendances have increased from 400 to 1,300 is simply not true. They have, in fact, increased from 600 to 1,100. That, in itself, is a commendable increase so why do they need to exaggerate the figures?
Another thing in the podcast that brought a wry smile was Stefano's assertion that there was now greater transparency about how the club is run. Really?
