The Fish

Off to re-watch Dogtown and Z-Boys, thanksverymuch.

To be fair to him, he can get a group of good players to win a trophy. That's not as easy as it sounds. Trouble is, he burns the world in order to achieve that. He'll fall out with owners, coaches, players, staff, opponents, journalists in his pursuit of a trophy. I wouldn't want him here as anything other than a guest for some Bobby Robson Foundation evening.

Generally, when we're posting in the Other Games YY/YY thread, we're chatting about topics loosely connected to games, that happened within the last few days, or at least the last decade...

Our change in our xGA after Pope's injury is shocking.

That scene with his old friend in the car... couldn't believe it. But Noho Hank scenes are always the highlight.

Watched the first season, but haven't got round to paying for the rest. It's ace though. Some genuine laugh out loud moments and yet loads of actual pathos. Reminded me of M.A.S.H. in that regard.

You're kidding?

The Lettuce will definitely last longer than Gordon

I get fucking raging when I see one of those. Just shave it off you delusional spenk.

Makes sense, you don't want people knowing your budget. It's probably possible to get a rough idea; player purchases, length of their contract, plus player sales and revenue. But I cannot be bothered.

Your kid sounds like a legend. Mine is obsessed with animals, running headfirst into solid objects and delivering a diving attack off the sofa/bed.

Is the loss reported on there a sum total of all costs incurred each year? So it would include any works done on the infrastructure, facilities, backroom staff, youth and women's teams etcetera?

If I've read that right, we've made around 85m loss in the last two reporting years? If so, surely we need to make a profit of 60m+ to stay compliant?

I appreciate I'm biased as fuck, but I'd much rather having a guiding hand in propelling a potential giant from relative mediocrity, to an existing behemoth that just needs a tweak here and there.

I'd have to untuck them from her belt.

No, a transatlantic one. Look these questions are great and all, but it strays from the important point.

I don't know. Those kinds of things don't interest me. Where people are from, what they're interested in, their names etc.

Not fucking one time. She's no Rayvin.

She's a cannuck so generally has a sunny disposition.

Boss calls me up asking to know why I went to a colleague for advice on a bit of code and not her. Then she says "It's because I'm a woman isn't it, I've had this all my life you know?!". She sounded tense AF so I was honest and said it was because I know she's busier than he is and that he and I had worked on something related quite recently. Jesus Christ man, it's not misogyny. I was being fucking considerate. Wimmin!

Didn't they bid for Capital of Culture (or something) where most of the 'attractions' were Newcastle or Northumberland?
