Lighthouse

Like a used car salesman saying he's got a couple more coming to look at it this afternoon.

He’ll end up somewhere, even if we are paying half his wages.

Germany it is then.

Mental but I doubt the Germans are done yet.

Good luck to him, although I’m just happy that this is 33% of our substandard keepers moved on.

Nonsense, the vaccine makes you immortal.

It's not a learned human condition it's innate in our nature, we're tribal animals. Look at North Sentinel Island as an example; completely isolated from human civilisation on a remote island, no access to twitter or racist Policemen, then one day a white missionary goes there to spread the word of the good lord and they straight up kill him. From time to time you see photos going around SM of young children and toddlers of varying race playing together and holding hands, with some sanctimonious caption about not being born to hate each other, it's society's fault blah blah and it's the biggest load of bo**ocks going.

The British GP has apparently been granted permission for a capacity, 140,000 crowd, which I’m obviously delighted about. You’ve got a point but the F1 and the Wimbledon finals are literally hours before all restrictions are due to end anyway and the semis are about 10 days before I think. It’d take a couple of weeks for any effect to be noticed anyway, which would be after the 19th so…. 🤷‍♂️

If someone wants to pay £50m for JWP I'd sell him, whether it's Man City or Port Vale. I don't buy this, "oh but they're our close rivals in the table," argument. If they're serious about spending that much on one player, they're clearly not going to be our rivals for long, whether they buy JWP or someone else for the same price. That said, I'd be astonished if Villa were planning on any such thing. Going on a massive spending spree these days just puts you in the 7-10th bracket with Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham, Everton. They could spend £200m this summer and not even qualify for the Europa League.

I wouldn’t get too carried away on Maehle personally. Plenty of players have had great tournaments and gone on to be sh*t for their clubs. El Hadj Diouf, Milan Baros, Karel Poborskiy, don’t forget Roque Junior and Stephane Guivarc’h both started in World Cup final winning teams.

It would appear Skittles wanted in on Pride month only for it to backfire rather embarrassingly.

So Finland heading home as one of the worst third placed teams, with 3 points and -2 GD. Candidates to join them are: Ukraine, 3 points and -1 Croatia, 2 points if the don’t beat Scotland Portugal, if they get stuffed by France Slovakia, if they lose by 2 or more against Spain.

This isn’t NFL. We can’t just bring a kicker onto the pitch every time we want to kick for a field goal.

I think you need to send my post back to Bletchley Park and ask them to try again. Anyway, today’s games could be interesting. You’d imagine Austria and Ukraine would both take a draw and go through in second/third with four points. If the Danes beat Russia, there will be a three way tie for second in the other group. As it happens I don’t think they will but it could all come down to GD and last minute goals. Anyone remember the Sweden, Denmark and Italy group from Euro 2004?

I can’t argue with that. Want to meet up behind the bike sheds?

TBH I’ve long since lost interest in anything Collin has to say. This brand of crackpottery isn’t particularly interesting.

The one year of reduced testosterone levels is just an arbitrary line drawn in the sand because the IOC are scared of offending anyone. They don’t want to upset trans people by not letting them compete but they don’t want to upset women by letting them get their arses kicked by biological men.

Agreed. England need a Steven Davis type midfielder to link defence to attack.

I think we’ve jumped the shark on this one. For anyone interested, photos of other women are also available on the internet.

TBH what I meant was what I actually wrote, with the words and structured sentences and all that stuff. Any particular word giving you trouble from that post of mine you highlighted?

Now that is a can of worms. So basically anything involving a crucifix is out. Players making the sign of the cross when they run on the pitch or score.

So yeah, Scholes went to the World Cup…

Good grief, it’s like watching a Puel team.
