Hopefully. I think 3 at the back either way though

That’s what I was thinking. Probably the best way for us to set up without Joelinton available

Just guessing but I assumed they were made Asian betting partner because it was more straightforward than buying them out of the shirt deal after the takeover. As Ashley no doubt negotiated a long term shite deal that the club was tied into. Very little to see here imo.

A lot closer to where they’ll all live too

Never mind that, TP. I’ve acquired a small quantity of magic beans. Would you be interested in buying some of them?

I don’t think I’ve actually clicked on any if the links before but that 247sportslife site is often link to with what appears to be absolute shite stories (going off the headlines) from fan pages / accounts are n social media. Wouldn’t surprise me if G-Dogg is correct and it was generated by AI. As for the motivation behind making it up? It’s not that bizarre if you come at it from the pov is that it’s just to drive engagement. And it’s the sort of feel good story that people like to read about. So quite clever in that regard. It being the sole source (seemingly) also suggests it’s a load of bollocks

Like trying to appease Reform voters. Literally

You were and are still very welcome, mate. I used to wear it to play 5 -a-side quite a lot too and I sweat like a fat lass. So that’s the other side to its heritage

Similar to I was talking to my <insert football team here> mate is code for browsing another team’s forum

Blair was a much better communicator too.

The bloke’s a fucking disgrace. At this point I’m not voting for them again as long as he’s leader.

That white noise is supposed to help some people get to sleep.

Exactly who I was thinking of when reading HMHM’s post

I think we are probably much better at it / much more scientific than previously tbh. You can’t completely negate the risk. The lack of cover means taking a calculated risk / reward gamble too with CL football being at stake.

You maybe could do something but the only outcome of any note would be a (probably lengthy) custodial sentence. Because the social media, peaceful protest route and so on is just screaming into the void. I’m completely checking out for the most part. It doesn’t make be feel particularly proud of myself but what are you going to do? And by that I mean subjecting yourself to the (frankly horrific) reality is just bad for you. The holier than thou social commentators constantly banging on about are basically just making a living off it too. What actual fucking good do they do for anyone except themselves?

If PSG were going to give us megabucks for Botman I’d probably go for that. I think he’s class but he’s been injured a fair bit. I realise we’d then really need to be looking at bringing in two CBs this summer if that happened. I also realise it’s probably bollocks

Heaton Stan v Morpeth Town in the Northumberland FA Senior Cup final tonight at SJP if anyone’s doing nowt. Cash only turnstiles in the east stand

It’s transfer speculation. People literally just make stuff up for engagement

Point is, giving the obvious decision here would have prevented this. Ordinary open play when no offence has been committed is different because the officials should not be intervening then. It’s somewhat similar to someone being called a ‘good ref’ because letting niggling fouls go is ‘letting the game flow’ when it is in fact likely to just wind players up and cause a bad tackle or reaction. I suppose it come down to opinions though and I can see the argument for this with offsides. The latter example I gave annoys me a lot more

Makes you think

I did think it was slightly odd that there was a thriving Italian gay scene in Turkey until I looked at the map
