hypochondriac

I think that was clear about 5 years ago after the whole bit about Christian nazi belt buckles, Katie Hopkins, Tommy Robinson, Corbyn, his black barber etc etc.

If the standard by which we judge innocence and guilt is purely down to what the CPS think, we might as well not have a trial. Considering you're supposedly an ex employee of the CPS, I hardly think they're the most competent or impartial people to be ruling on cases.

Soggy apparently knows what happened when it went back to court for some reason. He knows better than the people judging the case!

If those young teenagers had kept in contact with you and you'd followed them on twitter and then they'd ended up in a job working for you as a PA and then later on we found out you'd been rogering them in the changing room then I'd say there's a big argument to say it does. Do you have something to tell us soggy?

Is also continuing to fund his legal fees which is pretty suspicious as well.

Although that's reduced considerably if Chelsea gives us a couple of decent players in exchange. Even a loan or two coukd be excellent in the championship.

We are going to make so much money from Lavia. A cause for celebration for sure!

Yep. I'd be surprised if we don't have a better team in September of this year than we had in September 2022.

Being a championship team may in some ways give us an advantage with certain players. We can offer a starting place and may be more willing to take a chance on decent league one and championship players. I've been wanting us to dip into that market more for ages anyway (I know we did it for Adams which worked out OK and Armstrong which was a failure but we could have been smarter.)

I don't think it's for Schofield to decide if he groomed the lad or not, of course he's going to say it wasn't because it's in his interest to say that. Personally the imbalance of power and the friendly relationship when he was a boy and he was in his 40s and 50s is at the very least extremely creepy and does strongly suggest some form of grooming given that he'd got him a job working closely with him. Even if Schofield is entirely innocent of that charge, I think he's a bit of a narcissist and a scumbag given what he's subjected his wife to after being married to her for so long.

They're a league one team. It will be pretty cheap relatively.

I'd put him in the squad initially as backup and see if he can force his way in.

All this drama occurred because I misused the word firesale during a quick post yesterday. I'm very sorry.

I agree. Either we get 20 million which will give us funds for a similar type of player, or we keep him and watch him tear up the league. Alcaraz, Tella, Piroe and someone like Stuart Armstrong as backup seems like an excellent lineup for the championship. I hope it works out.

I don't think it was always destined to be the case. I'm hoping we play hardball with Alcaraz, tella and maybe Sulemana because those are three we could realistically keep who would be brilliant.

Why is everyone saying it's the Denmark kit? I was told it was out this week so maybe my info is duff.

So if the Athletic article is to be believed, we may have a larger firesale than most were expecting. If it comes to pass, it may be that the only player we'd like to keep who will stay is Alcaraz. Shame that Sulemana wants to go and that Tella will probably end up leaving. Combine that with kwp, jwp, ABK, Lavia, Salisu and possibly Bednarek and Lyanco and we really are going to need some substantial resources in.

I probably know you

I knew him before he was a footballer. Straight A student at school and incredibly intelligent. Has a lovely partner too. Great normal guy.

I'd give it a 1 probably. We did have the top performing teenager in the country playing for us and we prevented city from doing the quadruple. Other than that there were no positives but a 0/10 is Derby County levels.

There hasn't been a leaked kit has there?

It's stripes. I suppose it depends what your definition of back to basics is.

Taking their time. I expect they'll wait to get a new signing in it. I'm glad we're going with stripes and nothing too whacky.

I think the Athletic article suggested he was off too.

Exactly. It's fun to see opinions from people.
