In terms of psychological operations on stupid people, the BBC and Trump thing is verging on being one of the Evil Empire's better attempts.

BBC - Defended by brain dead morons.

Trump - Cheered on by brain dead morons.

Evil Empire Uber Alles.

The “Carnival of the Bizarre”.

Depressing as shit.
Magnificent film.
Maybe my favourite film of the year.
Definitely.
Maybe.

Full-Time Musings

City and Jeremy Doku were different class.

Liverpool - BIG problems. 75 minutes for their first shot on target? Only Szoboszlai and Bradley can even dare say they played today. Big problems. Missed Gakpo. A team cooked away from Anfield. Oh well. Oh dear. Oh........

City - Brilliant
Reds - Dreadful

Yet again VAR is ruining YOUR game. A spectacle, instantaneous, immediate, free flowing, exciting, engaging, reduced to a dystopian system telling you not to believe your lying eyes. Never happened. Deleted. And you're not angry?

Don't take drugs kids.
Write a book.
Then proofread it.
Then proofread it again.
And again.
And again.
And believe me, you'll start seeing things that no drug can match.

Stars. Elves. Witches. Warlocks.
The walls start bending.
Time disappears.
Your mind a tangled web of cotton.

The clock's stopped at 1.10am...

39 big ones eh Pop's?
It all seems like yesterday
Remember the pool balls I saved up for from my paper-round money?
They're regarded as antiques now
Fancy a game later?
We'll share a glass or two of your home brew
Talk about the old times

Some rambling musings on last night's game. Occasionally in the correct order too. Give it a read if you wish. Buy the book too if your finances allow ⤴️ Thanks ♥️

I see Jude Bellingham wasn't impressed with the Anfield atmosphere last night. Well, thanks to your snide and shithouse tackle, the Reds scored from the subsequent free-kick and your bunch of namby-pamby tosspots lost, so at least there's that #LFC

But he was off his head
Messi was alright
Until a Tuesday night
When he played the Reds

Best all-round team performance since waltzing to the league last season. 1-0 could have easily been 5-0/6-0 if it wasn't for Courtois. Wirtz looked the real deal. Szoboszlai the man of the season so far. Conor Bradley ❤️

Most impressive 45 minutes of the season so far. Szoboszlai everywhere (be still my beating heart), Wirtz fantastic, Ekitike a busy nuisance. Always an out ball to Salah. Conor Bradley snuffing out Vini Jr. Shame Courtois looks unbeatable. Again.

Dick Cheney was a monster of the Evil Empire but there have been hundreds more before and after him. I'm surprised you haven't noticed. The cold, vacant, dead eyes as black as their expensive suits. Their zeal for war and blood sacrifices to the "Gods" you dare not believe exist.

I won't be booing Trent Alexander-Arnold tonight. Mainly as I'll be watching the match on the TV and he won't hear me. But more importantly, this current team misses him (face facts) and he's an incredible player who won EVERYTHING at the Reds.

You know the 1.5 degree thingamajig so the earth doesn't boil? What not 2 degrees? Or 1.87? 1.65? 2.07?

Or do those fucking wankers with the cold, dead eyes say whatever it is on their scripts to instill fear and loathing and screaming madness into everyone's minds?

Cup of tea?
