  1. 2025/26 will be a different world for us, deals will be made and zillion dollar sponsors announced by then. They must surely realise that they have a huge opportunity this season to speed up the growth of the club. They just need to ensure we finish as high as possible, combined with some smart January buys and to ways to clean up/out the shite left by Ashley.
  2. Hasn't Hayden just returned as well? Shortstaff? Plus Shelvey is sucking up wages and hoping to trigger an automatic extension. Why the fuck is Gillespie on the books still as well? A smart thing to do would be to ship them all off to whatever Saudi league team they own and let them suck back their wages from their books. The shit Ashley left stinking out the place.
  3. Would they though? That's why I asked if it was now a PL "rule"? If not a smart club could get up to all sorts of fuckery. I've also noticed with multiball games, players when trying to slow things down, make sure there are more than one ball on the pitch. So it goes out for a throw, pick up the ball closest, walk back into position and then make a weak effort to return it to the opposition, who have by this time got another ball from a ball boy/girl/they. Any play that starts with two or more balls on the field is stopped/cancelled because there can only be one on the field of play.
  4. I thought that too but there were a lot of times, after Leeds had scored, where once the ball went out, the Leeds player wanting to take the throw in was looking for a ball and there was none. I doubt Villa are that smart but it was pretty obvious the other balls had just disappeared.
  5. Just watching the Villa Leeds game and noticed that they are just using the one matchball, although I could have sworn before half-time they had multiple matchballs. So is it up to the home club whether they use multiple matchballs? And are they actually able to changeit during a match? It's the perfect way to employ more shithousery. Start with mulitple balls, keep the tempo up, then go in front and they all disappear bar one.
  6. He's got some raw potenial but fuck me, he's not the messiah people are making out he already is.
  7. Lisa Marie Presley gone to the Gracelands in the sky. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jan/13/lisa-marie-presley-singer-and-daughter-of-elvis-dies-aged-54
  8. Potter must be a good bet for next manager sacked.
  9. BTW nailed on we get Man U in the semi final!
  10. Pep’s gone and done a wor Eddie and started a weak team instead of going strong and the subbing them off and Colback has gone and scored the winning penalty for Forest, fucking odds on that?!??
  11. @Monkeys Fist it didn't work, I think I prefer the jazz covers. Regardless, this.
  12. Nope, I even worked Christmas eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and NYD, all for the same rate as I do for any other day of the year. Life of a contract worker.
  13. Those calling for Kuol to be immediately part of the squad have obviously never seen him play. Yes there is lots of raw potential and hopefully he will make the step up to PL level but he's started a handful of games playing in the equivalent of league 2 for a mid-table team. Give the kid a chance to grow, he is literally moving halfway around the world in every respect of his life.
  14. @Howmanheyman condolences mate, it's a horrible time of year to lose someone dear (not that any other time is preferable). One of my oldest mates passed yesterday and besides the shock of his passing, all I can think about is how his family now has to live with Christmas being a constant reminder of his death. And congrats @Monkeys Fist stay safe and remember you're driving a missile that to other road users is as intimidating as fuck, especially us on two wheels.
  15. There's some decent stuff on none of the usual places atm. Paramount Plus has Tulsa King with a very broken/plastic faced Stallone finally playing a NY mafia character and making a decent fist of the role. SBS on demand which is a terrestial station here but it looks like it is a HBO Max show, Tokyo Vice starring Ansel Egort (aka Babydriver), set in 1999, Babydriver is an American trying to make it as the first foreign born reporter at Tokyo's largest newspaper. Also watching Huss, Scandi cop show, on the same network, which is okay but I could probably watch the lead actor, Karin Franz Korlof, watch grass grow and still be enthralled!
  16. Looks like it's a cunt of a day for influencial musicians in our lives, keyboardist Martin Duffy has also died, 55! https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/dec/20/martin-duffy-primal-scream-and-felt-keyboardist-dies-aged-55
