Hmmm. Looks like an old photo of the lesser seen David Hirst to me.

Well, the other cat had an arse that looked just like Iain Dowie, and I saw that cat first. 🙂

News saying 2 dead children, another 6 critical and 2 adults in critical condition too.

Never mind the coincidence about the photo. How did you know about my gran's cat? 🙂

Fixed that. Southampton calls to you. You don't get to pick your club. Across oceans and continents, it's siren call captures your heart and you will forever follow the Saints. Anyway, the support group is every second Tuesday. Bring some biscuits. And we'll pop up the helpline number in a bit. 🙂

Oh, come on. Give him some credit. He's hardly going to divulge lots of gossip on the back of the first bit of pester... Never mind... 🙂

The Easter Bunny is very real. But not linked as a signing in the this thread, and certainly not in the CoT one, which runs to a different standard.

Innovative, and improving the quality of life for many. Nice to read about the state of our nation, that's not hand wringing moaning. When people ask me where I get my news, I shall now say "in trousers!".... actually, maybe not...

Awkward choice of protest day.

Please don't interrupt me taking the knee in front of my fridge. 🙂

Entirely possible. Beside all the bonuses for not putting in a request and being with the club for set lengths of time, he may well be looking for some/most/all of a wage packet taken care of as well. All of which means it will drag out a bit.

Clearly lots going on behind the scenes, but reassuring the manager looking to replace the first team gaps - Che, Stu, Fraser and Brooks. On Fraser, he wants to go. Newcastle want him to go. The relationship between player and manager/club can't be great if he's training with Ue1s. Could be Newcastle haven't had their valuation met. They are waiting for us to improve it, or for Fraser to put in a transfer request to remove a number of bonuses.

I'm not sure I'm old enough to watch that on Match of the Day.

Nice to see, not only the purpose of the Circle of Trust again for new joiners, but a recommitment to it's goals, after some more acrimonious posting against it.

Pretty much covered above. "Danger Will Robinson!" Enough concerns to stay away. I've seen plenty of folk who try to convince themselves it will be all right, in the face of multiple red flags. I'd be looking elsewhere.

Baldrick: I have a cunning plan m'lord. So cunning, that you could put a tail on it and mistake it for a Leicester nickname. Club: Go on. Baldrick: We play forwards based on their ability to defend corners. Club: Nathan tried that. Baldrick: We only pretend to sign forwards, confusing opponents with our 4-6-0 formation. Club: Scotland tried that, and amazingly found even having Che and a fictional Stewart up front was an improvement. Baldrick: We sign players for lots of different systems, so opponents are never sure what we'll do. A pacey player in a possession team or a tall forward who can't drop deep. Club: Would you like to be director of football?

Nothing to do with his ability, but if all parties are looking for the move, and he's put a request in, then we may just choose not to risk an injury.

You're not going to rate next week's "Harris is a meanie. Biggest meanie. So sad, so sad" speech much. 🙂
