FFP

[Sexual Ealing]

Doesn't seem unreasonable that people discuss the merits, or otherwise, of FFP regulations on a thread marked "FFP".

No, it's not. I'll shut up. I will add that I'm all in favour of people doing things as an alternative to moaning. I have no idea what that might be.

I'll say no more on the matter. There are people moaning about biased media coverage on another thread anyway.

Looks like Big Football got to SE as well.

It winds me up. For a woke lefty yoghurt-knitting bleeding heart snowflake, I really hate moaning (doing it, hearing it, reading it). I appreciate it's my choice whether to read it. Especially on this thread.

Edit: particularly moaning that things are unfair. Yes, they are. Unless we're talking about miscarriages of justice with actual consequences for actual people, get the fuck on with it and shut up.

Hold on, you’re moaning about people moaning on a football club forum where all we do is moan because things are usually a bit crap as a Villa fan, and especially now. Made worse because we’re Brummies. And you’ve done your fair share over the years.

At least he's still got his cottage industry of selling vaccines that he's knitted by hand at home.

FFP - Football's Fucked - Properly
PSR - Proper Shitty Rules
SCR -  Sexual's Claims Rubbished.

This illustrates what I mean better than any FFP shit: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/sep/20/king-made-more-than-1m-selling-land-for-leg-of-hs2-that-was-scrapped

Who cares?! We built a pyramid of dead mice; that there was no cheese at the top is beside the point.

I thought that link was going to be about the bit of Bodymoor we sold to HS2.

Including us, presumably.
