  1. Many fans of those bigger clubs support them because they personally want to be seen as successful, not because of a genuine love for them. The support you get for a club based on it being home, through shared experiences with friends seeing the difference it makes everyday to the community around you when they do well really is something special.
  2. A player we have heard of who seems competent in our league. Feels a long time since we've done something so sensible.
  3. Not familiar with the lad, but good on him.
  4. Now, I look at games like Millwall at home last year, where we dominated possession but no-one to aim a final ball at. I don't entirely buy the logic of there being no place for him.
  5. Back to taking the piss though. Their creation of an arena for their administrative speeches underneath the Eiffel Tower, packed to the rafters with people in the pouring rain where nothing else essentially happened. Brilliant trolling of their own people.
  6. In fairness. The Eiffel Tower light show is very cool.
  7. They really love themselves, the French. Don't they?
  8. Incoherent gibberish. But what are we meant to expect from the French?
  9. As I understand it, the best bit was the band Gojira playing earlier. Of course, missed that. Just joined in to see a load of prats on boats getting f**king soaked. Actually enjoying the trying to do their thing while drowning.
  10. Must be bringing someone else in then. Would liked to have seen him in a team thst has a vague sense of what it needs to be doing.
  11. Do you need some Aire?
  12. Get Martha Stewart in, very experienced.
  13. The most sensible thing we could be doing right now.
  14. Bordeaux hit the post after our defence play 'After you.....'
  15. 3-1 Mara Good build up.
  16. 1-0 Dibling.
  17. Well, Thames are a-changing.
  18. Because he managed him at a previous club.

    Russia

    For the sake of the residents of Mariopol, hope they are using a different contractor to replace the glazing in those tower blocks they 'remodelled' during the liberation. Had a very interesting conversation with an ethnically Russian colleague regarding the Ukraine war. The main takeaway was that she couldn't understand why Ukraine are resisting, the cost in blood to her didn't seem worth it. The idea of living under a totalitarian government didn't scare her and that the stability provided was worth it. In her perspective, and based on that of family and friends of hers in Latvia and Ukraine, Russian speakers in those countries are being discriminated against and have been since the fall of the USSR. This in her own words extends to the banning of speaking Russian in public in Latvia. Whether this justified 500,000 Russian casualties in Ukraine was however something we didn't get onto in the remit of one lunchbreak, but the different perspective and attitude to the Western narrative (In her own words, "the BBC version of events is not reality")was worth hearing.
  20. I'm sure the 90% margins that are made on these shirts make it entirely impractical.
  21. Nonsense, I'm Ouse-ing with anticipation for the Olympics.
  22. Would you go as far as saying 'Inseine?'

    Che Adams

    Torino gave us a defender who couldn't defend and we return the gesture by giving them a Striker who cannot finish. Good luck Ché.
  24. Sensible.
