For the record, I have no idea if he raped her or not - I wasn't there. I'm going to let the courts decide this one before I pass judgement.

Got the potential to get very acrimonious. No way it'll lead to a conviction, way too much time has passed and it sounds like Ronaldo is going to fight back rather than try and settle. Might also turn into another mass trial by social media which never looks good for anyone and usually ends in the twitterati offering everyone out on the internet. Bad times ahead, especially noting the potential for a backlash against the #metoo movement. Called it, but didn't think it would happen on here. Nowt like a good rape accusation to get people at each others' throats like.

I was under the impression that he had tried to pay her for non-disclosure and she had disclosed, hence him coming out swinging. The question of rape is a very different one however. Could go one of several very nasty ways.

Just seen the footage on SSN. What a bellend! At least have the courage to do a full two fingered salute in the open, not a cowardly Peter-Kay-esque playground insult.

Don't buy into the whole WC 2018 hype that surrounds Southgate/England. Ultimately, we lost three games and scraped past some very average teams. However, he seems like a decent bloke and we DID reach the semis with an extremely limited group of players. The alternative to Southgate is some utter twat like Allerdyce or Pulis, so on balance I'm pretty happy to see him stay.

I always find that calling a whole board a pack of cúnts is a great way to win friends and influence people.

Not this s*** again. "I know that I've hollowed out this once great club to make a fortune for myself and managed to make anyone connected to the club despise me, so to fix this I'm going to micro-manage you at all levels and undermine the one person who has any respect so when you get relegated I can blame him and carry on milking this club for all it's worth."

I'm already resigned to Dennis Wise as our next manager. That way if we any other cúnt like Bruce, it won't seem so bad.

Long ranty post complete with accusations of keyboard warriorery

It's going to be awful losing to these tramps next season after we break the PL lowest points record this season and they scrape up in the playoffs. Can see it now.

That decision was shocking. Every bit as bad as the shockers we seem to be on the receiving end of every game.

Damn you autocorrect! "Shut"...

Just had a flashback to the early/mid 2000's when Martin O'Neill's name kept getting banded around as our next manager. Then remembered we still have Rafa. And that Kineear/Carver/Pardew/MacLaren actually happened. Apparently if/when Rafa goes, MoN is a frontrunner for the job. Will be shut, but probably less shut than some of the utter cancer we've had over the last few years. Probably end up with Dennis Wise and relegation to League 2.

Sticking by my prediction of infinity-nil

The full extent of the milking will no doubt be revealed when we finally get new owners. I can just imagine them releasing a statement telling us the dire state Ashley left us in. What the Rangers fans had to say was particularly worrying in this regard. I can imagine he’s tied us up in some pretty shitty deals and I also think he’s spiteful enough to do us some real damage on the way out. I wonder if that's part of the reason no buyer has agreed terms with Ashley yet? A bit like the Brexit bullshit going on at the minute. New buyer wants complete freedom to run the club, Ashley insists that the SD signs stay up free of charge for the next 20 years...

Infinity nil.

I don't get why keepers don't just stand up to pens. Didn't Krul do that for Holland a few years ago with some success?

For him it must be like playing Championship manager with £0, then getting sacked and all the fans blaming you for signing only dog-shit free agents. Pure AIDS.

When you look at the way Man City have developed their academy and the surrounding area and then remember that could have been us if Ashley wasn't such a rude cunt...

They have done for years because we're not Man U or Liverpool.

Totally agreed.

0 goals in 94 games.

Not sure I could have less emotional buy in. It's not the losing that bothers me (I couldn't care less) - it's the knowledge that the good times are gone until Ashley goes. There is nothing to gain by following the club, unlike the 90's - mid 2000's where there was so much joy to be had. Until the FCB goes, investing any emotional energy into the club is a fool's errand. Hence my total apathy to us at the minute.

I'm still at 11
