Holding on. Doing SOG's Parisian Heat Survival Course has paid off.

I predict he's going to be an insane signing for them. π

Dissenters against Emperor Willo I, will be the first against the wall. Where they will hold an attractive plant in each hand while giving useful tourist information to passers by, in the new urban utopia. π

Rachel Rowe was picked in the Wales squad for the upcoming Euros. I see Alice Griffiths, also picked for Wales, is now listed as not being with us, but will still look out for her too. A really tough group, with England, France and the Netherlands in it.

Very disappointed with the outcome. I can only hope that the safeguards that end up in it, don't allow us to go down the path other countries have taken, and that none of my concerns come to pass.

Now it feels like a proper transfer thread. π

I'm impressed the coastline stays the same and hasn't melted into all that lava on the graphic.

You might find the opening fixtures a laugh, but I'm hoping to start a serious promotion campaign. π

Good point, and very timely for the unprepared. Do not wear skin-on chicken thighs during a heatwave wave, folks! Especially BBQ'd ones. Even skin-off is taking a chance, outside of cooler evenings. If you do wear them, make sure to keep them hydrated and moist with plenty of water. Or whiskey and water.

Goztepe would be needing another English feeder club. π

Note to interested parties: Treble your bid, and then we can negotiate. π -
If the squad didn't deliver for RVN last season, it could be a long season as they clear out the squad within PSR constraints, as they can't afford to sack him. Hopefully with a points deduction too.

I imagine that the lower his perceived wages, the more of a useful squad player he might become. Partly because the high wage thing wouldn't be trotted out. I seem to recall a manager hinting that he'd had a chat with Aribo, because he was earning quite a bit, and this was when he'd turned into a lump. We got a better version of him after that. Although, he falls into that category of never quite having all the attributes for any position we might want to play him. And we've put him in all over the place. He's versatile in providing some good attributes to replace or fill in for others who can't consistently even do that, in a poor squad. For Rangers I've seen him do well cutting in from the right channel, supporting forwards and occasionally as a fill in forward. About the only areas we choose not to put him. I'm wary of the high wage label anyway. He's on a high wage for us, because SR were determined to get rid of higher ones. We've ended up with a Championship squad, bar Ramsdale, as a result. No doubt SR will happily sell if someone meets their price. But not because I think they'll bring in anyone better. Just because that's their business model and they reckon to make a bigger profit on a replacement.

Moderation is key. So, to answer the questions so many will have: Take a light jog during peak temperatures, wearing multiple, but light layers, to an area of partial shade, where you can sip your whiskey with water.

It used to be we'd attract players with the prospect of playing PL with us, to then move onto better things. Now we attract players with the knowledge that we churn through so many managers, that one of them is bound to like the player, and they can move on to better things. π

Stevens signed for Billy the Fish's Fulchester, as did Mick Hucknall. Melchester signed a couple of Spandau Ballet. -

Very Frustrating. But the ticket office must take a while to arrange seats in the other grounds Saints fans would prefer to watch football in next season. π

And the standard is set for the 25/26 awards. I'll leave it to others to determine if it's a high or low standard. π -
Been a while since last "where are they now (posters)" thread?

Reminds me of the late nights I used to spend typesetting my weekly Rooms & Recipes newsletter. Then race out to the post office, to get to to my eager mailing list.
