Ah.... I get it now.... 😂

So the 'in joke' is that back up goalkeepers drink coffee? Maybe I'm getting too old for this sophisticated level of humour...

Am I the only one not getting the coffee reference...?

Yup, agree... Larin being a case in point... Extremely underwhelming résumé before joining us, yet turned out decent (at this level at least)...

Not one? Every forum has a clutch of contrarians, surely...?

Yeah, poor choice of word on part... I have been gardening all day, so delirium starting to kick in (more so than usual, and it's a pretty high bar...)

AI's view of why Eckert might be treated differently to Bielsa by the FA...

I've been searching for the FA's statement (not the EFL's) following their investigation into Bielsa and Leeds in 2019, and this is all I can find (as reported by the Guardian at the time)... Bit of a wishy-washy second paragraph when they refer to any future occurrences of this nature...

F*** me... The tinpot local 'journos' up there have still got us on their radar... They're beginning to make Portsmouth News employees look half intelligent...

Thanks to Spygate, we've got that covered...

Yup...

They're fuchsia, not pink FFS!

Hmm... 😁

And so was the Bielsa / Leeds case... In fact, Bielsa admitted to much more widespread spying than Tonda.... Unless the FA have changed their charging and/or punishment criteria since 2019, then they surely have to give Tonda the same ticking off that they gave Bielsa?

Watching on my laptop... Defo an orange tinge to my 58 year old eyes!

Any idea who they're there to spy on?

Why are England wearing a top that looks more orange than red...? Or do I need new glasses?

Are FIFA going to expel c.11 teams for illegally spying on their opponents training then...?

Yeah, he should have done much more in the 3 championship games he played in, at an average of 10 minutes per game...
