That’s the yeast of your concerns

i'm no expert either. just a supporter who is annoyed that we're losing him for the best part of two seasons, when it could have been just one if they had operated straight away, and looking for someone to blame

we're now looking at being without our best defender for the best part of two seasons instead of just one. tough call to make, of course, but an ACL rupture isn't the career-ending injury it once was. surgery is quite advanced and often players come back looking like they've never been away after 9-12 months.

American Fiction. Really clever comedy/drama about modern white guilt and black identity. 8/10

Botman must be bloody annoyed with how the medical staff handled the injury from the start

rye are you getting so cross?

Dough you expect me to fire one back?

Crumbs, I wasn’t expecting a pun of that quality

i enjoy this bloke's videos about the stadium conundrum

i went to the zoo yesterday and saw a piece of toast in a cage. it was bread in captivity

Got about half an hour into 20 days in Mauripol last night. It’s clearly brilliant filmmaking but I wasn’t in the frame of mind for it. It’s absolutely gut wrenching

Taskmaster is class. I watch it with my kids and they love it. Alex Horne is a funny little oddball genius - a great British comedy eccentric. The Horne Section is great too

probably out for revenge against all the children who ran riot in his classes. he can barely string a sentence together so there's no chance he could control a classroom of unruly kids in stoke.

saudi is a bit of a farmer's league though

i agree. but £15m would be well below his market value, were he to return to last season's form. i wouldn't object to him staying if he were used as a squad player, which tbf i think was the plan this season

An armed man ran into an estate agent and shouted "No body move!"

Did you know that dogs can't operate an MRI machine? But cats can.

£20m+ for a player approaching peak years, with champions league experience and who was the cornerstone of a midfield that finished top 4.

i don't see how chelsea have got away without a penalty. i know they've got decent commercial revenue but surely not enough to offset a spend of a billion quid
