I hadn't realised BBD was only 25. I thought he was a bit of a journeyman. For EUR 8m, I concur that it is, indeed, a no-brainer. Experience in the league, not really a gamble, and cheap (less than Tall Paul, and just over a third of a Sulemana, FFS). He'll be very useful the following season if he go down, and if he does enough as a striker to earn himself a move up the food chain we'll make a huge profit.

Looks like his business is a sole trader, not a limited liability company. It also appears that a supplier has petitioned for the bankruptcy. So, yeah, I would NOT pay him any cash.

Sounds like Trump is scared to debate her from his ramblings today. Also, wankstains like Elon Musk seem to be panicking a bit. No doubt Putin, Xi and Kim are not best pleased either.

Would that rule out a serial lying, convicted felon, thieving, rapist?

Good news. Only one more year so no massive exposure. We need to add quality but we don't want tons of ins and outs rocking the harmony / camaraderie in the group He's clearly well liked and one of the important characters. Whilst he's never going to be a van Dijk or a Alderweirald, he's played a role in some big performances for us at PL level.

There's only one Juan.

Looks cheap and horrible and the sponsor is an embarrassment. But I don't really care.

Quick post mortem thoughts. - prob time for Southgate to go, but not sure who replaces him. - Kane can only be in the team if the team includes wingers running beyond him. Major cock up by Southgate.... - Picking two players that want to play the same position (Bellingham and Foden) was a mistake (compounding the previous point). - going back to 4231 in the final was a mistake. As ever, central midfield is a weakness in the squad. Rice is not good enough to play holding role at top international level. Need to get Wharton into the team alongside Mainoo and save Rice for a bit of energy later on. - Palmer too good not to get into the team. Saka one of our best players. So you've got to choose Foden or Bellingham, IMO. - we need to be much better drilled and more active off the ball.

Getting shot should help him be more relatable to the black vote.

It sounded like there was another shot several seconds later, after Trump is hiding on the ground, and then there was a large scream. I'm guessing that might have been a shot that hit a spectator, but who knows. It also looked like the shooter was to the right of Trump and somehow managed to hit him in the right ear without nutting him. Mental! It's also very odd how Trump asks to wait while he gets his shoes, and then says, "wait, wait, wait" to the security staff once he's on stage and they hang around for him to do his salute. Cracking work by Beeb. https://x.com/SharpFootball/status/1812265909727396107?t=VjTos42fYISNBTMEAzS3TA&s=19

"Mine!!". That's three Dallingas. See it off

My dad works with his son (don't ask).

Let's hope he's as good as Kane McClaggon, Omar Rowe, Jamie White or even, dare I say, Matt Mills.

Am I the only one who thinks we need "another Downes", not just Downes? We need him plus a combative midfielder with energy and recovery ability. We 100% won't get away with Downes, Smallbone, Aribo as a PL midfield. And even if we could, we saw last year that we're buggered if Downes misses a match. Can Ghoddos do that role?

It's pretty obvious that one of Rice, Bellingham or Foden needs to be left out (or both of the latter two if you prefer Palmer). Kane is best with runners off him. Saka starts because of that and then we need Palmer, Gordon or Bowen on the left. Our best player in that position is Sterling, but he's not fashionable any more. The biggest problem is the progression through midfield. Rice is no deep lying playmaker, but is an excellent box to box. It needs to be Rice (or Bellingham) plus another central midfielder who can use the ball (not "Trent" and not Gallagher). So it's Mainoo or Wharton, plus Rice or Bellingham IMO. Once Shaw is back that should also help us. I'd set up the front players like this: --------Mainoo----Rice---------- Saka---------Foden-------Palmer ---------------Kane-------------

Mainoo was good. Bellingham rubbish. Rice can't play deep. Southgate all over the place.

Not really. Virtually every single software contract says the product is not warranted as fit for a particular purpose and is not error free. That is very standard. Of course, that doesn't mean they have no liability if it is a shower of shit. It's also unusual for customers of software companies to play an active role in suppressing how bad it is.

That's a mess from England. Second best team in this match so far. All over the place in defence. Shapeless. No intensity. "Trent" isn't a midfielder. Trippier isn't a left back. Foden all over the shop. Crap. Pretty inexcusable to be that messy.

No one is paying 10m for Tall Paul, Sulemana or Mara. We'd be lucky to get 10m for all three.

I've been impressed with the technique and spunk of the Slovakian and Georgian players. No idea who they play for but I think we should sign a few.

Sweet Caroline. Oh, fuck off. Tedious mongfest.

Owen Jones doing a decent job in the middle.

Getting a bit sick of this election already. I wish we had the quality campaigning you get across the pond. http://x.com/RpsAgainstTrump/status/1799942923158688207?t=i8yK8hd3YVflkYTowmWehA&s=19
