"Get Russell Martin TF Out of Ranger" Shocking. I didn't realise Russ even knew Nile.

Wilson got some good early press at Rangers. But, when the signings didn't translate to success he was getting flak, and was off to Forest, where things have gone better.

Finished the sentence. 🙂

Listening to the radio, and they say Rangers have been much better in the second half. And that they should really have had a second as Mignolet wasn't in control. They did say the defensive errors that mark this team continue to cost them. But I'd have to see it, to see which were individual errors, which were Martin's system and which were Brugge just being a far more stable outfit than overhauled Rangers. They still have a chance in the return leg. The fears the first half would lead to a rout didn't happen.

Frank-ly, I hope this doesn't turn into a thread full of puns.

The Comedy Workshop is proud to award you the Deadpan Humour certificate. 🙂

Going by our scouting, we're uprooting to join Bundesliga 2. 🙂

Hi, and welcome back to Comedy Workshop with Top Ten Funniest Posters Holmes & Watson. ...we'll, where trousers went wrong was to add "(Now, where did I put my reading glasses....?)" Our gag originally was going to have "Listen, are you sure this is what you wanted? We actually quite like you." It would have shown a shred of empathy. But it would have weakened the punch of the joke. It would also have cost valuable typing seconds, in which someone else could have posted a similar, yet, vastly inferior non top 10 version, and made us look silly. And that's today's top comedy tip, as LegalEagle is taken away sobbing after after all the abuse. It's fine to destroy someone through being massively insulting, as long as you get there first for the clicks! Next week, giosaint comes in for a Comedy Makeover! Comedy Workshop was brought to you by Hypo's Top Ten Lists. The official, eternal opinion of vastly cleverer than any of us AI.

That was last year. This year we're signing a squad for next year. 🙂

That Legaleagle's a bit of a massive cock, isn't he? There you go. 🙂

Probably a good time to point out the Playback Speed option on YouTube. 🙂

Before he joined us, I'm sure I read that one of Bree's strengths was to get the ball into tall attackers with deep crosses. The sort of thing we saw Manning do a week ago. He was rated as one of Luton's better players at the time.

A person who knows my parents stopped me in the street last night, telling me that the geese we'd just seen flying overhead portended bad things for the winter ahead. I think she's taking the V formation rather personally. But make of that what you will.

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/sportskind/2025/04/24/at-this-womens-soccer-club-the-vibe-matters-more-than-goals/83009474007/ Gals FC don't count goals, embracing the sheer joy of playing the game, bonding with others and getting all the health benefits.

It's definitely an indication of how bloated our squad is, when you can remove all of those (plus those already gone) and it not making an impact on the first team, in terms of quality. Aribo and Edozie have interest. ABK was a failed medical away from moving last time, Suga and Will have had interest in the past. Both Wood and Taylor are experienced, so would help out a lot of clubs. No idea about BBD. He got a loan move last season, which is something I guess.

AA does start ahead of Archer. He offers more to the team than Archer. But I think Archer is the better finisher from a central position. So, when putting the basic labels on them, I put AA more as one of a front three, than in the middle. Suga was one of the ones I could see moving on. If, so I'd prefer a replacement than seeing Fraser there all season.

A fair bit of time left, but a busy couple of weeks for everyone. No doubt offers for Suga, Wood, Taylor, ABK, Smallbone, Aribo, Edozie, BBD would all be considered. Dibling and Fernandez still our marquee players gaining interest. If no on meets the marquee prices, still leaves us with... GK - Baz, McCarthy DR- Bree (Fraser providing cover here now) DL - Welington, Manning DC - THB, Stephens, Quarshie, Edwards, Sanda MC - Charles, Downes AMC - Fernandes, Matsuki AM - Armstrong, Fraser, Dibling, Robinson FC - Archer, Downs, Stewart (Armstrong as cover here) An upper championship squad. Which, considering SR have had a very long time to build for a promotion, looks a bit underwhelming. It's certainly not near the team that managed 15th when they took over. It desperately needs a creative attacking midfielder as well as physical power down at least one flank (that Tella replacement) We've settled on our forwards really, but that Romeu replacement is still sorely needed. If Suga goes, then a new right sided defender would definitely be needed. Keeping either Taylor or Wood would give us a bit more experience at the back. No doubt a new squad 'keeper will come in. It needs a bit of quality in a few positions to boost us from being in the mix to bring a front runner.

Everton and West Ham will be pleased at the discount. 🙂 Thanks very much for the update as always. Some common sense from him regarding Quarshie. Everyone out there could have made lots of better decisions, and they realised that, including him. Very early for him yet.

What's the rule for when a plane lands on your ball?

Having sale prices on the back of the shirts, instead of squad numbers was also a clue to SR's approach. 🙂

There was a point late on, where he got impeded. But still had enough presence in there to punch it clear with a bit of quick thinking. Not the biggest of sample sizes there, but worth a shout out for him. On the other hand, I thought he was less scowly today. Scowling is a massive part of his game, and I'd hate to think of him slacking off here.

Which is funnily enough how Juric ended up in a fight with his Torino sporting director. 🙂
