Star

Absolutely mental. Has he played in the league for Liverpool?

We only have LeG and I don't think he's mentioned it.

The only weird thing is that we didn't play him. Clearly better than Stephens was. He should have walked into our team.

It's a self portrait.

Good to see him get a move, although I think he could play above that level.

I'll reserve judgement until I see Salisu play. Danso arrived with a big reputation from a big league but didn't have enough. Its Stephens and Bednarek for me at the moment.

Yes, two people. Arthritis is permanent. A 46 yo woman has been told (following scan) that her wrist is like an 85 yo who has had arthritis for 30+ years. No issues pre covid, all down to the attack of covid on the immune system. She also has a loss of sensation which they think is neurological but can't yet be sure, and all sorts of other issues which they think is something akin to an auto immune condition caused by covid. Diabetes also is not temporary. He's been told he's stuck with it and again down to the attack on the body of the virus. Only 50, fit and healthy pre covid. It's nasty shit.

Yep, the focus of many is on living or dying. The explanation I've been given is that this stuff either has no symptoms, mild, bad with complications, or death. The one we get is the luck of the drawer, and too many people assume it'll be no symptoms or mild. I know young ish, previously healthy, people left with life long complications from this - arthritis, neurological issues, auto immune issues, diabetes. How many others are suffering we have no idea.

Cheers, interesting article.

Nobody would buy Forster and pay him what we do.

Talented

Oak

Yep. She's shown loads of commitment by seeing her inheritance tied up for years, but inevitably there'll come a time when she wants to cash in.

Absolutely. Our transfers have largely been a disaster since VVD was sold and no sensible business man would look at the disaster that was Carillo, Hoedt, Lemina, Boufal etc and decide to throw £100m at more players. I suspect Gao wants out more than we want him out.

Carry on doing nothing please - it's going brilliantly.

You say that you grasp it, but then demonstrate that you don't or choose not to. I suspect that you've seen the accounts. It's obvious from them why we had to borrow. We've then had covid and sponsorship issues. We spend more than we earn. We therefore need capital. If Gao has it, he won't inject is as he won't see it back. That's why we have to sell our Citroen to buy a Skoda. If the bloke from the midlands has a line of credit or a wealthy uncle willing to lend him a few quid, of course he can buy his Audi, but we ain't that bloke and just cos he can have an Audi, it doesn't mean that we can afford one. You keep on about agents fees and bonuses. Of course every club has to pay them. For some clubs they're easily affordable and don't get in the way of spending. For skint clubs, like us, they do.

You never seem to grasp that what other clubs do, or can afford to do, is irrelevant to what we can do or afford to do. It's like saying that if a wealthy bloke from Chilworth can buy a lamborghini, that the minimum wage bloke from elsewhere shouldn't have to make do with borrowing his mates old Kia. We're skint Del, it ain't complicated.

Exactly this. The club putting out stories linking us to good players only for us to sign some donkey makes zero sense. None of the conspiracy theorists will ever be able to answer your question.

Yep, Lighthouse way of comparing the effectiveness of players is nonsense. Smallbone hasn't done anything so far to suggest that he is capable of effecting a game in the way SB can. Having seen Tella play, I can only assume that he's in the squad as there's nobody else if we're keeping SB away from the team. SB on the bench, or as cover or an alternative, makes sense to me.

Yep, agree with all of that. The CB's were lambs to the slaughter today with the way we were set up and the midfield.
