Football Special

Funny you should say that looking at your user name, I have a regular work call with a client in Barcelona where we often share a bit of football chat , he told me the story had made the sports news over there but definitely a sense they were laughing about it (pantomime villian kid with a phone, comedy sketch) rather than any outrage.

Derby fans absolutely hate him , what a wanker

Perhaps, maybe they've seen a drop in cruise bookings from the Middlesbrough area and are delighted with the outcome

He still wouldn't blink throughout the punishment

We have to assume its quite likely Bayern Munich taught Tonda most of what he knew as a young analyst whilst employed there. I feel they are partly responsible for the predicament we find ourselves in now and sending Peretz to us for another season on loan would go someway to helping them repay that debt

Spoke to a West Ham season ticket holder a couple of weeks ago who was really despondent about the state of the club but I just can't see them not having the strongest squad, what they do with it is another thing of course. I'd like to add one correction to my post about hard to predict, of course there are a few things you can bet your mortgage on safely one of them being we'll get beat at Bristol City

I read that article in the Sunday Times yesterday, was very interesting, reminder of how young Ekhert is, the elite level analyst teams he's been around and how closely his career is entwined with Spors

Thanks , she's certainly been around in football long enough to know this was blown well out of proportion and needs some perspective (unlike some of our own Karens who are outraged he hasn't been sacked already)

Tonda Ekhert's new tattoo?

I'd say thats a hard division to predict, plenty will change between now and end of August. Who'd have thought Hull City would go up having just survived last season and under a transfer embargo. Surely Burnley are due an extended stay in the Championship I dont know enough about West Ham, can see them selling a few then trying to recruit "the best of the Championship" Plenty of good away trips there , lots of mileage , London trips and Lincoln will be tough tickets to get , had enough of going to Norwich, enjoy a trip across the border into Cymru

Can you share the link?

Question is which fans have the ambition, the ones who want him gone or the ones who want him to stay?

We're going to have to put up with more tears in the pre match press conference when we play them next session aren't we

Song maybe not but 100% those Boro games are big next year, we'll have a big turn out up there without doubt , I hate them for the gloating last few days even their fucking lawyer trying to have a dig at Saints, they need putting in their place

I still dont get it? Bottled it 3 times?

Better check Rockliffe hotel till for a bank card registered in the Humberside region

Quite right, hearing was a charade to "punish" Southampton, but in fact it was about rewarding Middlesbrough

Coverage this morning portraying Middlesbrough as such victims who have been reinstated, the crying manager narrative. Just to be clear Middlesbrough were at NO disadvantage, they knew Will Salt would be there and collected the evidence they needed for their claim , none of their training or preparation was impacted

I love it, used to watch it with the kids, feel sad they dont want to watch it with me anymore

Lol well at least the hearing was just to decide on our punishment and nothing to do with Middlesbrough

Just all a big fucking massive coincidence isn't it , never mind eh

At the very least Dragan should have a couple of his Serbian ex-special forces lads pay a visit to Jason Taylor and see how many whistles he can blow whilst looking over the edge of a shark infested pool

Because the difference in moral outrage over doing the same thing is remarkable

Who appointed "Sport Resolutions" and what connections do they have with them?

Media hypocrisy at its finest, Bielsa is still talked in fond terms by both Leeds fans and media and he was congratulated for getting them promoted the following season
