Meh. TBH it’s got to the point now that it’s just meaningless and I don’t really notice it. A bit like when players make the sign of the cross, pray to Allah or any other ritual.

I didn’t realise Twitter had an audio description service.

Has he got itchy boobs?

Please be Pompey. Please be Pompey. Please be Pompey. Please be Pompey. Please be Pompey. Please be Pompey.

Don’t be thick, everyone knows the Tories are desperate to kill off a large number of elderly voters.

SSN reporting that Kane hasn’t turned up for training today.

TBH I'd just like to have some good players for a change. If we 'only' make £20m profit on them, I can live with that.

Spent the whole afternoon trying to suck the vaccine out of my arm with an empty syringe. No joy so far.

That’s open to interpretation though. It could mean we wanted to keep him but his attitude was such that we felt compelled to get rid of him.

….. born in the mid Cretaceous period.

In the last two years we've offloaded Clasie, Boufal, Hoedt, Lemina, Gunn, Carrillo and hopefully soon we can add Moi, Long and Forster to that. That's only players who were surplus to the squad and added basically nothing, so not including Austin, Bertrand, Cedric, Hojbjerg et. al. Even those six, averaging £50k a week, adds up to £15m a year. If we lose that from the wage bill and can't break even then f**k knows what's going on.

£10m a year is nothing these days. Hoedt, Lemina and Bertrand must have been on roughly that, combined.

You say that as if it's a debatable or contentious issue but the same statement could be made about 90% of players in world football. All it really comes down to is price and whether anyone's willing to pay it.

I tried to mix cement in a pelican once, got me a life time ban from Marwell.

But if that same money bought a mediocre replacement, a reasonable goalscorer and some cover at fullback, we'd be better as a squad.

.... Officially.

This got me Googling the age of consent in Japan. 13 apparently. 😮 Better here than the Danny Ings thread. He's not got the tits for a Lycra body suit.

I can’t imagine they’re on anything less than £150kpw combined, ignoring whatever signing on fee we gave Theo. Supposing we brought in a reserve FB on £50k, the extra £100k adds up to over £10m over a 2 year contract, which could have gone on a transfer fee.

It’d be an improvement. Then again, so would dog farts.

Dog farts.

In the last year or so we’ve given contracts to Long and Walcott because they were ‘good lads to have in the dressing room’. Given our limited funds it would seem bizarre that they took priority over cover at fullback but that might be where we’re heading.

Sweet Caroline. I don’t know why every sporting event is trying to jump on the bandwagon of a crap, cheesy, dated Neil Diamond song. Even at the F1, the guy on the PA system was trying to get the crowd going with it on several occasions, to a somewhat tepid reception.

If you’re going to be substandard, you may as well be substandard in an area where we lack cover.

It ends when everyone is vaccinated. The virus needs a certain threshold of the population in order to sustain itself; a critical mass of people, if you like. Right now that mass is the 11% of people who refuse to get vaccinated. You are the minority of people keeping Covid 19 in circulation. Polio wasn't eradicated because that vaccine was 100% effective. It was eradicated because everyone realised how privileged they were to have a vaccine, took it, and the small percentage who weren't protected didn't matter. The threshold needed to keep it in circulation wasn't met and it died out; in other words, herd immunity. Basically it's up to you to answer your question. You can spend 10 minutes getting a free jab and we can end it completely in this country in 8 weeks, or you can not and we can keep arguing about masks, lockdowns and passports for the rest of our lives. 🤷‍♂️
