The Mighty Hog

Watching the highlights this morning and it confirmed it, the fucker was sauntering back with a light morning jog. Players do have unwritten rules about stuff like that but he's back up and in the area so it's fair game.

Long days and pleasant nights

Turns out Coote wasn't just into the marching powder and slagging off Klopp https://news.sky.com/story/former-premier-league-referee-david-coote-pleads-guilty-to-making-indecent-image-of-child-13449925

Robert RIPford

https://www.football365.com/news/mediawatch-isak-strike-excused-newcastle-liverpool-fraud popped up on my feed last week. At least he's consistent. Only about other clubs players.

Express and Star are a Brummy local paper, so he's probably their version of the Knoit Roiyder

It just reads like a truncated version of that Adam Clery video posted here yesterday.

I've not seen any links from creditable people for Richarlison but he seems to be available from Spurs. We're at the point in the project where we'll not get anywhere by buying unwanted players from clubs wanting to achieve CL places. They've had the "big" move, had the big pay rise. Unless they're exceptionally mentally strong/competitive I can't see them adding anything but a body. We're in a fucked position and even at this point I reckon there's more chance of Isak being successfully re-intergrated into the squad than the likes of Jackson making a contribution that means his wages and fee would be worth it. I don't think that other clubs are buying the same players as us to spite us, but they do have the spending power to bring plans forward by a window or two. Sesko was a long time target for Man Utd but I don't think they were gonna move til someone else did, potentially the same for Etike. Delap had the release clause so that was purely opportunistic for all involved. Joao Pedro is possibly the one we should have got but dragged our feet.

Well, that's the theme tune stuck in my head for the rest of the day!

Former player of ours scored twice today for them.

Alan Robson showed up in my YouTube algorithm, just wanders around local places at night "ghost hunting" with a couple of lackeys. In fairness I liked his Halloween stuff back in the day.

James Whale, finally beached. Was at Metro FM doing Nightowls pre-Alan Robson apparently.

More like fire hazard with all the rubbish swirling round the pitch and stands

It's Cilla showing her true demonic form

Lemic does work for Universal Twenty Two though, so Isak would still be under their umbrella if not Gaitan directly.

Congrats on the new book release, btw.

CN's arse starting to drop in the match report https://archive.is/20250504172125/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/05/04/problem-stalking-newcastles-star-players/

Man Utd were like a mirror of how we used to play at Old Trafford, start off ok and keep it tight then implode and ship goals.

I hope Ritchie got to watch the final with a couple of beers and chinned a couple of corner flags, the mad bastard.

Swapping heart out for arse in some songs gives a different slant to things.

Well, fuck. Never thought I'd see it.

Forest got the deduction because they pushed the sale of Brennan Johnson past the PSR deadline to sell for a higher value, not just ignoring PSR and continuing spending or even ignoring PSR and doing nothing else. We'd have still needed to sell players, not sign anyone and then take the points deduction.

It's weird but I don't think you have much of a chance of getting it overturned unless there's a big media blowback. The one for the Arsenal kid was pretty much unanimously called out in the media as an injustice from when it happened. Anything where's the reaction is about 50/50 the FA don't bother.

The dog was terminally ill and organised the whole thing.
