Lol... As stonewall a penalty as you'll ever see...not given... 😂😂😂

Why the f*** does a team get penalised when one of their players is genuinely fouled and has to go off for 1 minute? How the f*** is that 'fair'...?

Correct. Amsterdam is indeed in Holland (North Holland, to be precise) 👍🏻

Probably Alfie's gut feel based on his discussions with Solak. Like others, I'm willing to give Downs the benefit of the doubt for a while longer, but if we go into the season with Downs as the de facto Stewart replacement, then I'll be worried...

I'm more inclined to go with the subsequent paragraphs in that report...

The oracle has spoken... Loving the replies.... 😂 https://x.com/i/status/2066759238269968786

Oops... Forgot to 'wink' at the end of my post... I keep forgetting people take stuff too seriously otherwise... #tongueincheek

In a parallel universe, we had these 'top legal bods' onboard at the outset and we're now preparing for life back in the Premier League having beaten Hull in the playoff final....

Every online poster for local events using exactly the same AI template and style. Lazy twats.

Those that post about it on an internet football forum...?

Yep, I've wondered that myself too. That combined with an element of 'stage fright' perhaps... Something I've experienced before and it can be debilitating.... It would explain why he had a decent pre-season last year, yet struggled 'in front of the lights'...

Why have ITV got an East End pub landlady as a pundit?

Actually, he looks closer to 50 than 40 in that close up shot at half time 😂

Does this 40 year-old Cape Verde keeper fancy doing a back up job in the championship next season per chance....

How long does it take to have a swig of water.... Get on with it FFS

"Of course, when he came, the reason why we initially hired him was that I liked his presentation and what he wanted to do with the club. "Then we had the experience of his first transfer window, and I felt it made sense. I remember he called me in the last hour of the last day of the window. "He said, 'Dragan, we have this last hour to sign Scienza or not.' It was over the budget, so I had to say yes or no. I asked, 'Why do we need him?' "Johannes explained, so I said, 'Yes, it's okay.' I am super glad I did, and that's the type of business he has brought, finding Scienza in Germany. "Now everybody's like, 'Oh, he's a Premier League player.' Maybe he is, and he is probably, but how come nobody found him all these years there? "Then, I really love Caspar Jander. You know, we have talked about his ability and everything. I think he's an incredible young player, incredible. "I think he has an unbelievable career ahead of him. When you look at all of our signings, I'm super happy. We had one miss [Damion Downs], I think. "But that's okay because still this miss looks like he can be good because all of his elements are good; we just don't see what is missing at the moment."

Latest FAB minutes from 11th May... That's 4 days after the 'spygate' story broke and, according to the minutes, there were no discussions about it at all...?
