  1. Fans like that are ten a penny, hardly shocking or unique to Austin. Personally I'm indifferent to this; if it was Barca in the final and Romeu was wearing one of their shirts, nobody would give a hoot. On the other hand I've thought Austin was a wally since his antics for Swindon 10 years ago and wont be changing my mind any time soon.
  2. TBH neither have done anything of note and I'd wager Walcott is on much higher wages.
  3. If anything I'm actually relieved we aren't just chucking whatever it takes at players to outbid our rivals. On top of what we've got now, we could also have the likes of Defoe and Walcott on massive contracts, who we can't shift.
  4. Complete opposite of the type of player we should be going for. I'd much rather we signed a 50:50 Mane/Moi player than signed more over the hill Ings' and Austins.
  5. TBF his favourite train station is named after them.
  6. He's already had all the help money can buy, I think it's only a matter of time, sadly.
  7. Do love a good, thick, freshly cut lawn. Is that so you can wipe them clean afterwards?
  8. Why, is the dog chucking it’s turds over the fence?
  9. A belting summer thunderstorm and the wet/fresh smell afterwards. Coming home from some sporting or other physical activity, having a warm shower and a cuppa tea Dipping a dark chocolate digestive in said cuppa Skiing in fresh powder The sexual climax I achieve when I ban a SWF poster Garlic bread Never hit a decent tee shot, I usually just shout 'c**tbag' at the large hole I've dug.
  10. If he hadn’t been awful for several years before hand, we wouldn’t need ‘keeping up’. He’s a 3 goal a season striker, who got a couple extra from lucky deflections against Leicester and Bournemouth. That’s it.
  11. Which is basically positive spin on the fact that we wont be able to shift most of them, perhaps not even on loan, so they will be 'given a second chance' next season.
  12. All our players would rather be playing for a bigger club. The variables you’ve mentioned are largely immaterial.
  13. If we don’t want to spend next spring anxiously putting Brighton and Villa scores into an online predictor, we’re going to need better players. Reed just isn’t better than Rom, Hoj or Lemina. If he moves to the Championship and smashes it then fair play to him.
  14. I didn’t move it originally but I’ll move it back. Hazard basically confirming he’s off, wonder what Chelsea will be like without him next year.
  15. Clearly nobody has done that yet, so this is just meaningless really. People do stuff like that all the time. I vaguely remember Carsten Janker's profile being edited to say he was hosting an all night rave with Rudi Skacel.
  16. Probably just trying to put a positive spin on the fact that it will be very hard to shift him.
  17. Whilst I've got no personal interest in the Monarchy, Will and Harry do seem to be relatively humble and likable, from the outside at least. That said, the crown's PR team aren't stupid and they know waving at your subjects from a golden carriage doesn't quite cut it in the 21st Century. The whole Cameron/WHam/Villa thing was pretty cringey and completely unnecessary. Your average Wetherspoon's punter isn't going to be fooled by some Eaton boy telling them he does, "rather like the soccer ball."
  18. I like that 5% of UKIP supposedly want to remain.
  19. I’ll rephrase, the remain voters who would usually vote Lab/Con but instead have backed the Libs and their ‘******** to Brexit.’ True but the fact that they’ve failed to do so and couldn’t come up with anything in the negotiation has simply pushed voters away. You only have to look at Trump to see how far brash promises can get you with voters.
  20. I don’t think the results have proven anything other than voters are moving to the polarised ends of the spectrum. Hard Brexit have made massive gains, as have hard remain Lib/Green/SNP. It’s the squashy, middle ground, trying to please everyone parties who have lost out.
  21. Can’t say he’s done anything particularly haunting so far; we need to be aiming much higher than Gallagher if we want to avoid a third straight season fighting the drop. Who was the last academy player we really dropped the ball by releasing? Probably Phillips 30 odd years ago.
  22. Perhaps a similar system but with third automatically in the final. 5th plays 6th at home, then 4th plays the winner at home, then 3rd plays the winner at Wembley.
  23. I wouldn’t say it’s motivation, so much as not having the time and patience to try and come up with three different meals a day, using houmous, falafel and courgette. I tried having the veg option at work a few times and gave up after a couple of weeks. I didn’t like the taste and it didn’t keep me going the rest of the day.

  25. I like the playoffs, they basically give the whole top half something to play for, right up until the last month of the season. It also makes the battle for the top two more interesting; if it had just been Norwich, Utd and Leeds all going up, the Championship would have been all sorted with about 3 games still to play.
