Sheaf Saint

Yeah the point seems to have overtaken him somewhat doesn't it. Or maybe it just didn't qualify as humour for him.

Doesn't necessarily have to be a PL move. We'll have to sort something out with him because if he stays he's not even guaranteed to start and he's far too good to be warming the bench for a Championship team. I'm also fairly sure we wouldn't have wanted / been able to sign Peretz if we knew there was a chance we couldn't offload Ramsdale before the window shuts.

Let's just hope it's not a sign that the wheels are coming off of our youth development strategy.

So having already loaned out JRob to Monza, we've now sent this lad off to Le Mans. Either we're in a race to get rid of them. Or we're hoping they will come back with big improvements in their speed and endurance respectively.

I expect it was also largely driven by the club wanting/needing to get his wages off the books to assemble a squad for the Championship. But inevitably loads of people have just lazily concluded that he's a bad apple / uncommitted, and use that as a stick to beat him with.

Good move for someone who plays on the wing.

Hottest, sunniest and driest July on record in England and Wales. 19 counties recorded <1mm rainfall

5 episodes in and the back story has had plenty of screen time so far. The latest episode was mostly future-focussed, but felt like some major pieces of the puzzle have finally fallen into place. I was also pleasantly surprised to see yesterday that S4 of Strange New Worlds has dropped, and the first two episodes are up on Paramount+ now.

Joe Lumley started for Wednesday yesterday in their final pre-season friendly. They lost 4-0 at Oldham and by all accounts he didn't cover himself in glory (especially for the first goal) and showed why he's spent most of his career on the bench. They've got quite a collection of ex-Saints now, with Slattery joining from Motherwell and Yan Valery one of the few remaining senior players from last year.

Woeful defending from Wood for that goal.

That's just not true... https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/uk-public-opinion-toward-immigration-overall-attitudes-and-level-of-concern/

And you think a government run by Rupert fucking Lowe would buck that trend? 🤦

No, they haven't. They have been rightly criticised for jumping on a bandwagon and using deliberately provocative language to convince people with a pre-existing bias against immigrants in general that they actually give a shit about it, in order to gain populist support. Literally nobody is suggesting there isn't an issue. Just some people shout louder about it than others.

I'm Lefticus!

Jailed for 20 years, for causing "anguish and pain on a scale beyond comprehension", according to the judge. Great company you're keeping there Nigel.
