AMN may theoretically cover many positions but he's fallen out with his manager partly because he allegedly doesn't want to play anywhere except centre-mid.

Absolutely delightful

Heavens this place is quiet.

It kind of is.

I know. The 'down' is redundant.

The climate crisis is worse than I thought. The wrist-slitting season has come much earlier this year.

Our away form had better be good...

Did you just wander in from a game of dodgeball? (To be fair, though, they also had some iffy kits.)

Siri, find me a forum thread that comes closest to 'Say Yes to the Dress'.

Well done on keeping a sense of perspective.

If evidence were needeed that conspiracy theorists like Le Tisser drag everyone down, this has to be one of the dumbest threads ever on here

Why did Salisu get pushed to the ground quite roughly in the celebration?

Nor can anyone else

Interestingly, among the things they can no longer do is sell or buy players. Implications for Broja?

True, but there are serious implications for some people, especially the trustees of the Chelsea Foundation. The terms of their registration with the Charity Commission would not have included running a premier league club - least of all one that owes a billion and a half or more to the owner. Charity trustees have personal liability - they are not protected by the limited liability you get in private or public limited companies. A Chelsea trustee with any sense should resign now

Yep. Bookies love to hear punters saying 'the bookies got it wrong' - that's how they make their money

You know we're in for a difficult war when, as Russia sends it's entire military arsenal to the Ukraine border, the main armed-forces story in Johnson's Britain is that a senior RAF commander has been caught running starkers around his garden and mooning the neighbours.

Matchmonth?

I knew this would end in tears

Every footballer wants this as their epitaph

Your post reads best in the voice of Bob Bulldog Briscoe

*Hopes momentarily raised*

Ducky is in all the obvious ways a huge balloon but he's right on this. Corbyn seems unable to distinguish between supporting Palestinians and sidling up to anti-Semites. The majority of British Jews have concluded that this is such a repeated pattern that it's fair to regard Corbyn as an anti-semite himself. Similarly 'Jeremy' is unable to see that his loud protestations about regime change, as chair of Stop Some Wars, require him to say something about the Russians' brutal threats against Ukrainians. But no, not a single word - his knee-jerk anti-Westernism blinds him to anything Russia might do, like invade a country or carry out biological-warfare attacks against his enemies in countries such as Britain.

There are photos apparently of Johnson being successfully rounded up by the cake, along with a glass of wine that had tricked its way into his hand.

I met Garth Crooks once. He's no better in real life.
