https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/38854734/panel-says-newcastle-goal-vs-arsenal-was-correct-decision?_nocache VAR panel has voted on the decisions in the Arsenal game - Goal was right to stand - Unanimous agreement that Havertz should have seen red - Split decision that Bruno should have seen red

I've never seen it but it's definitely a red.

The perfect Toontastic episode of Casualty would start with you at the breakfast table eating your dry shredded wheat. Radio 5 on. In comes hot dog legs. "Is tha goin out on t'bike today?" "Am I goin out on t'bike!? Of COURSE am bloodeh goin out on t'bike! Has thee got nothin better to do than ask stupid questions. Am alreadeh up a height about bloodeh Jeremeh vahhhn on t'radio!" Cut to a downed bike, wheel spinning, a blood soaked bidon rolls past. "Chuffin Nora. Someone's put mah feet on back to front. Call th'ambulance!" Rest of the episode is just you having the fucking life of all the doctors and nurses. Even Jimmy can't break down your defences. The episode ends with Ash putting a pillow over your face.

"I’m talking about the radical Islamists in the march who are being supported by Labour unwittingly or otherwise." "What are their names?" "I don't know." "You don't know?" "Errr, it was Abdul and errr....Mustafa. Anyway, the labour party helped them." "I thought you didn't know their names?" "It doesn't matter what their names are, anyway...." "Eh? 'It doesn't matter what their names are?' He's making it up as he goes along." "Look, their names were Abdul and Mustafa and the labour party supported them. It was on GB News." "Oh he's hopeless, let's go to the stoning."

I have zero sympathy for him. He had the world at his feet and fucked it up by being a twat time and time again.

Missed the cutscene where wykiki calls hot dog legs (wtf?) from hospital and she's with Callum Wilson. Zoom to pair of scissors with remnant of bike tyre rubber on the bedside table.

the way @Gemmill has bleated like a baby ever since he was justifiably replaced as match thread starter leads me to the conclusion he has more in common with arteta than any fucker else.

Fair enough, stonewall red card.

No we wouldn't because they've got a shit ton more quality AND depth already because they expanded exponentially without the constraints of FFP. We're adhering to FFP and it's royally fucking over the health of our players because they're stretched so thin across our many games, as we knew it would. If we weren't limited by FFP we'd have the depth to have avoided at least some of these injuries, or to have had replacements of suitable quality and experience. Let's not forget that FFP purports to be to protect clubs from spending too much and threatening their survival. That is simply not a risk to us. The reality is FFP is of course designed to protect the monopoly of the curently most powerful clubs by preventing anyone else from spending similar amounts on players, management, facilities etc.

that's the spirit. just don't go to either of them.

That's hate speech. As a fellow accountant I feel qualified to say fuck right off and good luck getting a signature on a passport photo in future when this gets brought up in our AGM

My thoughts are fuck right off. I cannot get my head round the attitude that to be in Europe, let's drop out of Europe. My order of preference is: 1) Win our last two games and qualify for the next round. Only four matches (three two legged) to win the most prestigious cup in club football. 2) Win one game and come third, put everything into the Europa league which is a winnable cup. I'd rather win that than either of the domestic cups tbh and it guarantees CL football next year. 3) Fuck off Gemmill.

Thinking about it now his morning and our best chance of getting back into the CL is if we just finish bottom of the group and can focus all our efforts on the league and the domestic cups. With that in mind, I think we bring back @Holden McGroinfor the next two CL ties. Lock in two guaranteed losses, finish bottom, and get back in the CL by finishing top 4. Thoughts?

We don't know one another personally. Just spiritually. Bonded by our shared knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles.

Don't bring Craig into this.

Ahh nice, you've found a fwiend.

Yes, you could Dazzler had a touch of class about him when he turned up here, and now we find out why. Meanwhile Renton is pushing patients round the corridors, desperately trying to sound like Robson Green's Jimmy off Casualty. Calling all the nurses Duffy. Pathetic.

We had Man U away, Arsenal at home and these away within a week with a seriously depleted (and knackered) squad. They were physically in much better shape and got tight to to our players who were fucked. They're a good side but definitely caught us at the right time. Frustrating to watch but I wouldn't be over critical of any player nor Eddie himself.

Aye if you think Bridget's tired, spare a thought for the bloke who spent the day wanking over her various interviews. Dis. Gusting.

Fair enough tbh

He's misquoting Boney M now! Hopeless, man. Fucking hopeless.

Great move by the BBC getting her on to promote her book 👍🏻 No one deserves it more after her decades of selfless public service

Proper stalker vibes here btw

Between him at 17, Hall at 19 and Tino/ Anderson both at 21, it is very exciting.

Greek lad walks in to a tailors with a tear in his pants. Tailor says “ Euripides?” Lad says “ Aye, Eumenides?”

‘Come on Gemmill, let’s get you into the right thread’.

Just popped in to lend my support to Mr. Custard.

Look, now isn't the time for experimenting when you've got vitally important qualifiers against *checks notes* Malta and North Macedonia.

You’re fuckin wasted here Davey

Blokes lost it

I think people have overlooked Gemmills love of casualty tbh

precisely.

At our age an all-dayer is mightily impressive. Show some respect!

There will also be a few clubs trying to loan players from Saudi to assist in their relegation battles (Man Utd for example) that will be told to fuck off if this goes through. I don't care about it tbf other than to wind other clubs up to breaking point, there's a whiff of cutting your nose off about it though.

FYFYP

Tbh I reckon Ashworth hinted at it to rile the divvies up and throw them off our actual transfer targets. This does stink to high heaven mind, it’s targeted and intentional. I don’t mind if it’s a permanent ban but a temporary one is just like the sudden temporary sponsorship ban after our takeover, imo it’s cheating. Fwiw I’m more than fine with the ban if it’s permanent, but I want it to extend to outward loans too - clubs like Brighton loaning young players out to their feeder clubs etc can fuck right off, Arsenal exploited that under Wenger to get top African players into their set up and get around the visa requirements that would have meant other clubs were unable to sign those players at the time arsenal did.

Isak and Wilson have the best goals per minute ratio in the league. Not sure how involved we need them to be if they keep that up

He's averaged a goal every 83 minutes since the WC. He can definitely still do a job.

We have a fuckton of injuries lads.

Ah good so we can loan out Tonali and Barnes to our 'feeder' clubs the. For a fee of course, for players of such high calibre.
