They just keep scraping the same barrel.

Anyone who honestly thinks that Britain is socialist and that's why the country is failing needs to go back to school and learn politics.

Capitalism is destroying this country, there are plenty of good business owners, but PEFs are tearing us apart to maximise profits.

I'm definitely looking to move away from O2 as a result of the increased price rise, luckily my contract ends in January, but I don't see why there should be any mid-contract prices.

Give me a fixed price so I know how much it'll be over 2-3 years, even if it's slightly more now.

We should keep trying Devlin there. He can whip in a cross, which is good for Bishop, we've got Swanson and Williams at RB and he could do with more game time.

Bianchini was always an odd signing imo. If Swansea thought he was good enough for this division, they wouldn't have loaned him to us.

Cut the wage for people who are more likely to spend their money and get the economy moving, so people who are more likely to hoard it can have more.

His economics will destroy this country, he knows it, but most of his supporters don't.

Hardly a surprise to see Will Still being sacked by Southampton. I looked him up and actually, his record as a manager is pretty awful.

I really wish fast food companies would prioritise people who actually go to their establishments, because as a result of the Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo deliveries, fast food has become slow food.

Neil Tansley @neiltansley.bsky.social · 4d

I don't want to be one of those doom merchants for Portsmouth, but good god we're awful.

The problem we've got is in January, the likes of Southampton, Sheffield United and Norwich will have more spending power to get themselves out of trouble.

We will need to spend to improve our squad.

Caught up on #PMQs yesterday and Kemi Badenoch annoyed me when she spoke about Labour wanting to tax more.

What else are they supposed to do when the Tories sold off the energy companies, the water companies and the railways?

And the final kicker is they've made the idea of borrowing more toxic.

Feeling a little bit more political than usual this morning, so apologies for the upcoming rants.

He isn't one of those who still thinks we hold all the cards is he?

Fortunately for Labour, they have time to win people like me over. But they can't keep pandering to those who have moved to support Reform because they don't like the establishment. Those people are likely lost unless we experience a Reform government and they learn the horrors.

Neil Tansley @neiltansley.bsky.social · 5d

You're right I wouldn't. So long as Labour wants to chase those voting for Reform, they'll lose the chance of having me vote for them.

The longer Labour stays on the path to trying to win over voters from Reform, the more likely it is that Green voters and Lib Dem voters lend votes to each other to have some sort of sanity in parliament.

I've lent my vote to Labour in the past, but wouldn't do it currently.

Maybe if Portsmouth FC took the lead and left the site, more of our fans would come over here away from the toxicity of X and not be subjected to misleading/false information as often?

It'd be good to see more companies grow a backbone and leave the toxic environment of X.

For the second year in a row, I've not seen any #GBBO, and even the year before that I only watched about three episodes.

I'd like to see them mix up the format a bit and maybe have a league instead, then we can get to know everyone and it gives all contestants a chance to show off their skills.

Neil Tansley @neiltansley.bsky.social · 11d

It might be premature and I'm biased being a Portsmouth fan, but surely Will Still has to be under a lot of pressure at Southampton.

They lost their best players, but they also spent £50m on players. I could understand not being in the top 6, but to be hovering outside the relegation zone is bad.

Neil Tansley @neiltansley.bsky.social · 12d

Thoughts go out to Sheffield Wednesday fans today.

You don't deserve to be going through what you're going through, but hopefully something positive can come out of this.

I hope you get an owner who will take you to where you deserve to be, back in the Premier League.

The last time I had a photo with a Portsmouth football player, he went on to play in the Champions League, which he's currently doing.

So I expect big things from Callum Lang.

When I've driven to the shops I've seen them on the lamp posts and I just hate them.

The reason people have put them up has tainted them. I'm not as proud of my country as I once was.

Neil Tansley @neiltansley.bsky.social · 13d

Tell me Tory and Reform voters don't understand how supply and demand in the energy market works without telling me...

And then they'll have to give up avocado toast like the rest of us have. However will they cope?

I look forward to seeing the repugnant ballroom torn down in a few years when the Democrats return to office, assuming free and fair elections are still a thing then.
