Diego_Sideburns Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Corbyn is the Burton Albion of politics. For many years he was in the equivalent of the backwaters of the Northern Premier league and Conference. Then he moved up into the League, and surprised the pundits by pushing forward into League One, quickly followed by an even better performance with promotion to the Championship. Then, with little home support but unlike the Brewers, instead of hanging on to his status by his finger nails, he thrust forward and narrowly failed to get into the top flight in a play-off penalty shoot-out at Wembley.

The effort in Oldham that I saw and I assume in many many other areas on the ground was superb including dragging people out yesterday. Twitter was as useful to Jezza as the Daily Mail & Sun were to that bloody difficult woman, in fact moreso since those rags insulted peoples intelligence It was also simple bribary, pretty cynical really. Problem is, Jezza and his mates will tout this as acceptance of their Marxist/Trot ideology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it was like getting a last minute equaliser in the away leg and having the opposition manager insisting that he will play Carl Winchester as his defensive midfielder whilst we look forward to watching the second leg on our home turf with our favourite referee playing downhill towards the Chaddy in the second half. The lady in flat shoes talking as if she has won and forming a 'government' with 10 irish bigots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The interesting one for Corbyn is what next. He needs to have the best players in the team, even if the odd one is a maverick or disruptive Gazza or Costa. Clearly he'll need to be disciplined, and has a strong hand. Does he go all Trump and demand loyalty and stay with the most loyal or try and shape the best team? And does May try and tough it out exactly as Corbyn did?
