Aye. Maybe they really liked them and they were available. I also suppose they could’ve been a massive part of this season if things had gone differently. But it did seem odd. Hall is a weird one too, given how little he’s played. I know the clauses for him becoming a permanent signing have been widely discussed. Also Livramento must wonder how the fuck he doesn’t get more game time. And I’m not someone who dislikes Burn either. But you’d think he could come in for either fullback or winger more

Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER

That’s exactly what I thought after I’d posted that. Edit: and is absolutely fucking unbearable when they’re doing well -
Even down the line, unless we start doing better through the academy, it’ll be difficult with latter as teams only play one central striker usually now. I get what you’re saying mind. But we really lack squad depth all over. We’re very early in the process of putting that right anyway but FFP is designed to hold upstarts like us back. Then we have Ashley to thank for the abysmal commercial side of things the owners inherited

The first one especially. If someone wrote that taking the piss out of Liverpool fans’ reactions you would think it was way ott. As much as I love football and would be delighted if we were a success etc I would never want to be the person who takes it that seriously. Let alone encouraging my kids to be like that. What a sad fucking cunt. -
I hope it goes well or, at the very least, has scope for serious loafing opportunities

Civil service has recently made the arbitrary move to everyone (except in certain circumstances) having to work 60% of the time in the office. It suits me but it’s ludicrous for a number of reasons. The best one being they don’t actually have the office capacity anymore post-covid. Yet another ministerial decision imposed on a whim with absolutely fucking zero thought put into how it would be implemented.

I don’t mind my job at all but I’m fully aware I kind of lucked into it. I’d be sick as a fucking chip if I was still in the role I started in the civil service nearly 5 years back. In truth I hated the job I had before that. But I was comfortable and quite well paid and the company were nice enough too. Until I was made redundant anyway

JFK got more time here than the fans have given Beale. In fact he got more time in Dallas

Apparently he was offered an improved contract two days ago

I just came here to post that

Johnson couldn’t have hacked the forces when he was young enough to join up. Now he’s about 20 years too old he’s pretending he’d love a pop at it. No doubt still kidding himself he single-handedly stopped Putin. By throwing billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money at what was essentially a desperate bid to remain as PM. Hopefully the next time I hear about him is because he’s dead

Nice to see the rarely used double whoosh manoeuvre
