I definitely don't want to be seen to over-react, and I haven't got particularly strong feelings either way.

That said - I'd rather stab myself up the c0ck with a biro than watch Paul Ince's style of football for another season. Life is too short.

NathStPaul Heard they are paying some silly money to players too.

Who is bankrolling that?

WRTTOP - bored of Carra + Neville now. Time for some new blood.

NathStPaul I bloody wish Sergio Aguero was a prominent English player!

Ah...missed that!

Sergio Aguero - Kun? Whatever his name was - Chicharito?

Skewed football statistics and graphs. e.g. "This is what the league would look like if it started in June." Or, "Leading goalscorers since Erling Haaland returned from injury (away games only)". Makes no sense whatsoever. It's for people who like simple, colourful bar graphs (an...

We need to think outside the box to commercialise the club. - Be the first English club to sign a player from a developing country with squillions of residents (Indonesia?) = Sell a bunch of shirts and grow our reputation in the region - cue media stories of Indonesians travelling to every home game...

5) Sign a massive Russian cart-horse on 60k a week.

Not sure if correct topic, but Greg Halford is having a fun day. Turns out he lives in a very normal house on a normal estate, suffering from rising damp. https://twitter.com/GregHalford15/status/1616865560851005443?s=20&t=I_uDNcNgOg-gvk2TgfgL8A I don't think it's rising damp - i reckon its tha...

I like Martin Keown - but he's only at his concise, considered best on Talk Sport - where's he's had a chance to write down what he's going to say and then think about and edit it before he does.

Their new leader Lula served time for any corruption, and was released and allowed to stand again..

That really makes me want to shout.

For me, over the past few years, the Manchester United team since Sir Alex left - constant false dawns, some decent players who can't play together, erratic results, dodgy signings and weird away kits. Throw in some dodgy/odd managerial appointments And the highest paid player having a massive stro...

St Pauli as manager (gift of the gab, an’all that….lead by democracy, brothers) Brendy as physio (his gentle bass playing hands would give a nice massage for those that enjoy that kind’ve thing).

Brennan Camp signs on a permanent deal for Eastleigh. Really surprised he wasn't picked up by a L1 or top L2 side.

SCIAG ...Gunter effectively covering....

A few minor surprises in Eastleigh's released list - including stalwarts Andrew Boyce, Alex Winter and Tyrone Barnett: https://www.eastleighfc.com/news-2021-22-released-and-retained-list/ A few injury prone, older players in there, but surprised to see Sam Smart and Cav Miley on their way out - the ...

BraisingsteakRoyal I think Everton might get something against Man Utd on Saturday. Too close to call for the drop though. Fun times.

Where do these gestures rank against the hands together/praying/pleading motion in the immediate aftermath of a disputed decision? Used to be seen as a continental thing in the 80's & 90's - but pretty universal now. It's embarrassing. I might start doing it in real life - e.g. when my boss says...
