  1. Good news if we've got a taker.
  2. That’s abysmal. Genuinely frightening if they are doing anything other than some cursory paperwork about a complaint. Still, easier than catching actual criminals.
  3. He's in a Queen tribute act.
  4. I think we hoped Austin could do it.
  5. I think you're right. It's mostly folks of a certain age that will think Johnny Foreigner is a slippery cheat and "our boys" are fighting the good fight for Brittania. #brexit
  6. On 1 June, the city of Madrid is attempting the world record for "biggest number of utter ***** in one place". You can reach out and inspire a participanting **** via @LFC or @SpursOfficial.

    Soft drinks

    Can't beat a peanut butter smoothie or milkshake.
  8. David Luiz is a horrific defender.

    I favour squash second. You can assess the colouration in real time as you introduce it to the water.
  10. Anyway, you can bet your ass the Tweet isn't half as bad as what Phil the Greek is thinking.
  11. That royal family members are performing gimps, dressed up (literally and metaphorically) to perform an uncomfortable and slightly grotesque spectacle for public edification. I expect

    Soft drinks

    Does anyone ever make a drink from fruit juice and sparkling water? I've just mixed orange juice, pineapple juice and mango juice and topped it up with sparkling water. It's tremendous.
  13. 19:30 kick off on a Saturday! Westwood and his band of mutants will barely be able to stand up by then.
  14. If, IF, IF, we are looking at spending around 20m on a winger then that suggests to me that we must have a decent budget for this summer because surely centre back, striker and arguably right back are higher priorities. It also makes me wonder if we’ve already agreed some deals for outgoing players.
  15. Sadoldgit's milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
  16. I don't think anyone gives a toss about Baldrick's political opinions per se, but the question is whether he is reflective of many hitherto Labour stalwarts. I remember seeing Baldrick campaigning for Labour in the streets of Cardiff in the 2001 general election. He's gone from someone willing to give up their time to pound the pavements for a party to someone willing to leave it altogether. If you alienate moderates, you don't have a rosy future. The question is how many moderates are Corbyn and McDonnel alienating?

    Danny Ings

    I agree with this, IF the premise that he will improve physically is correct. But we don't know and, depending on our overall budget, it could be a costly gamble. I do like him as a player and his ability to drop off and create chances is very useful.
  18. In a League One team, maybe.
  19. I think Sims is a sub at best, sadly. Too untidy on the ball for PL. I agree about strikers but can't see us shifting Austin and Long and Gallagher and/or getting out of the Ings deal. Plus we need to shift Carillo again for next season (unless Ralph rates him). I forgot about Cedric!
  20. I agree, but unfortunately we will be stuck with most of the current bunch for a while because they are mostly overpaid relative to their ability.

    Gao

    I don't think anyone blames Gao for the current squad. The criticism of Gao is: - failed the owners test initially - seemed to struggle to raise the cash or to get cash out of China - zero evidence of any sort of strategy -zero engagement with UK fans That's the problem with Gao.
  22. Here's what I think, being realistic about the amount of sales and purchases that are likely to happen: Gunn McCarthy (why would he leave to sit on a different bench?) Forster (no one will want him) Valery ***New*** Yoshida Vestergaard Bednarek ***New*** Bertrand Targett Hojbjerg Lemina Romeu ***New*** Reed JWP Boufal Redmond Armstrong Long Obafemi Ings ***New*** We need to add: A right back, so we have two of them (unless Reed can do it) A better CB A midfielder who can pass A striker who can bring others into the game and finish Obviously it would be great to add another attacking midfielder but are we going to sign 5 quality players? Doubt it. So outs are Stephens, Hoedt, Gallagher, Austin. I'm sure we would like to get rid of a keeper but I don't know if that will happen. The other question is whether someone like Yoshida wants a move. Maybe something like that could happen, or if we got a big bid for Lemina.
  23. You don't say?
  24. It usually is.
