Glad you're alright but what was he basing that on? Never heard any suggestion that benign lumps could be formed from having too many protein shakes before.

Even bigger clanger if we didn't include a buy back clause. I think he's going to become an England regular in a couple of seasons.

Had a lump in my tit. Had to go to the breast cancer clinic to get it checked out. Thankfully it was nothing and the doctor reckoned it's probably off eating too much fake protein in shakes/bars/yoghurts. The experience at the clinic was probably the most emasculating of my life though. A young lass had to squeeze my pec (moob) into a breast scanner, then I had to sit in a waiting room full of elderly women for 2 hours staring at a wall and getting side eyed, before the doctor asked to examine my balls in case I had a lump there too. Drove myself home after and didn't even put the radio on. Just sat in silence feeling violated. FML

Barry and Hazel and their friends at breakfast this morning complaining it's raining in the Lakes. 🤣 'bloomin eck Hazel, I wunder why there's so many lakes oop ere'

he'll probably know toonpack then.

This was last seasons selection of elite clubs originals shirts. They've done us dirty. Ours is shite in comparison.

Let's see them both before we decide.

Been listening to the Duncan Ferguson audiobook on Spotify. I haven't got to his time at NUFC yet, but he comes across like he's got a massive chip on his shoulder tbh. Loads of run ins with the police and various managers through his career, but very little of it was his fault...

My invite must have got lost in the post. I joined Prime last month so I can't imagine not getting one?

Haven't had chance to get round to seeing that yet. I doubt many of the managers we had under the Shepherd or Ashley days would have had the level of detail of Eddie, plus the added pressure of ambition mixed with financial restraint. In the past they seemingly had one or the other.

Matthew Syed challenges you to a game of ping pong.

@PaddockLad, where have you stolen and hidden this?

I've got to say.i had to Google what wedding🤣

Did the video from this week of Dan Burn on that High Performance Podcast get posted? He was saying Howe contacted people to try and determine whether Burn's mates could be a bad influence on him if he returned home. So I'd assume he will have done similar with Elanga, Pedro etc. Also on Pedro, people are worried about his attitude etc. If Howe is prepared to buy him, it's cos he thinks he can deal with that.

Done, thanks Andrew

Familiarity breeds contempt. I do think there's something to the psychology of it from a fan view that if the player is from overseas then somehow the club have tried harder to get a better player. Tonali had become a folklore before he had really kicked a ball. If he had been called Sam Thomas from Blackburn with a gambling habit, then I dont know whether we would have had as much love for him as we did for Sandro on his return. Elanga has international experience with Isak and presumably Krafth so you have a relationship already with the incoming player. Id wager Eddie has already spoken to the pair of them about the personality he is. Same could be said for Pedro with Bruno and Joelinton. Limited experience but has been in Brazil squads with them. It's not fantasy football, there's a load of human factors to consider with all of these signings and so far we've pretty much hit the bullseye every time.

Fixed. 👍 Cheers Andrew.

Okay

Well I read it all and I'm not sure what it tells us. All looks fairly normal stuff considering the country they're in - 4 or 5 Iranians who are now incensed at how pointless the whole thing was and disappointed it didn't topple the regime. What in there is worthy of the fabled dismissive coffee emoji We already know that 70% of Iranians wish for regime change.

Bit of a minor board maintenance thing but can everyone please check their TT emails are up to date? With a load of DMs floating about lately for people to get access to the discord the admin mailbox has had a ton of "undeliverable email" notices when people receive DMs and an email goes out automatically. @Gemmill @Kevin Carr's Gloves @Toonpack & @spongebob toonpants you're the most recent ones I can see a few for.

FWIW The voices inside Iran the regime doesn't want you to hear

Clearly. 🙂

Until you sign Guivarch. 🙁
