Kitman

Back in the day that was a distinctly German look. Usually paired with a Scorpion t-shirt and jeans

I think it’s supposed to be retro cool or something. Mind you the mullet never went out of fashion in the antipodes….it’s almost like a badge of pride if you’re a bogan (rough translation = charva), drive a shitty old ute (utility vehicle) and live on a trailer park or equivalent

I’m reminded of Blackadder S1

I completely agree. Cardiff is a nice place to visit, has a castle in its centre, some of those old victorian shopping arcades, and a large modern shopping centre without dogshit or litter. The EU also sank a ton of money into Tiger Bay iirc. Its certainly not undefunded and shit imo. Newport on the other hand is one of the worst shitholes Ive been to - depressing and ugly, and the place has a bad reputation for crime and violence. Even the river is tidal, so as you pull into the train station you pass over an expanse of mud flats. All the funding in the world wouldn’t fix it (not that they get any) and they have a massive chip on their shoulder about Cardiff. Fucked if I can see the parallels with Newcastle and Sunderland though

The clue’s in the title

When you’re in a hole you should stop dubbing

Must have been the toilets. I can’t think of any other reasons….

What are the odds of that happening? Toney would know

This Villa supporter’s a radish

“….the less relevant we become…” And that sums it up - they’re totally fucking irrelevant yet somehow think they’re indispensable to the PL. They don’t understand they became irrelevant to the PL the moment they were relegated. Where does this sense of entitlement come from? Non-existent in Europe, they were bottom half fodder endlessly circling the drain during their time in the PL. Nobody misses them, nobody cares, they might be a cup final in L2 but in the PL they’re nobodies. What makes them so special? The bang average flatpack stadium built on landfill with a wannabe name stolen from a famous club? The bitter and ungrateful fans that hound out manager after manager? The free tickets they dole out to try to fill up the place? The made up nickname chosen via a poll? The track record of abject failure and mediocrity? No, what makes them special (the ones who post this shit on RTG) is weapons grade delusion coupled with an astounding level of stupidity, and possibly a glue habit…

Looked like he was coming for your kids. Err RIP, obviously

His name rings a bell

I’m not sure what Frank does tbh….probably just asks his Dad what to do (who probably asks ‘Arry)

He was the complete package. A quartquartista.

Kitman did you say?

I’d be delighted if Chelsea appointed Lampard as their temporary manager. They’re giving a masterclass this season in how not to run a successful football club.

There’s a part of my brain that looks at this and says “I think we’re definitely safe now”. I think I’m having trouble adjusting to the post Ashley/Bruce reality

What a plum The Hunter is. He thinks the club wheels out new signings to slag off SAFC, so that they can’t sign for them, ever. Why would the club or player give a toss about them, or even be thinking about them? How weirdly delusional. They’re so desperate to be relevant to us, it’s pathetic

Yea Eddie Howe deserves some praise but let’s remember it’s mainly Steve Bruce’s team. Who knows what we could have achieved if Steve was still the manager? I’ll see myself out

No doubt they’ll support him. “He rapes who he wants….”

Oof

Is snus a typo? A and S are next to each other on the keyboard after all. Okay okay, I’ve reported myself

Thanks Andrew. I think the BBC article implied the disclosures to the PL were at odds with the statement made in the LIV court case. If the statements are consistent and the facts were known by the PL as you say it sounds like there’s no basis for the PL to resile (even if that’s possible). I’m sure they won’t want to take on PIF anyway.
