Dyche's words are obviously bollocks, sport is a different ecosystem from normal business - same tired old argument that, for example, likens expectations of entertainment at matches to going to the cinema - and it wouldn't make a jot of difference if PL clubs clubbed together to keep dozens of...
Used to quite enjoy the ceremony of that. Listen to podcasts in the queue in the sun. Wave as if you're a celebrity and compliment the member of staff when they wave you in. Then realise there's **** all way of avoiding people down the aisles, especially when people treat plucking a tin of beans...
Being an old white dinosaur who sees the smallest of gestures as "too much", "opening a can of worms" and an existential threat. Only one demographic is giving it the tedious "where will it all end?" crap over this. Fortunately it's not the one that's going to ultimately bring about societal change.
Impressively dull. Need to take more inspiration from Bundesliga and La Liga punditry. Also find Football Daily really bland. Check shirts and Superdry all round. Grumble grumble
Stelling has just publicly tried to get Adam Hurrey sacked for a very mild joke about the show. Worth remembering next time one of the old white banter boys gives it the "it's only my opinion" / "everyone's so sensitive these days" spiel
In hindsight, that experience was the perfect early warning of a lifetime supporting the Albion. Well excited, takes ages to enter the ground, struggle to get to a reasonable point on the terrace and see what's going on, by which time we are about to concede our second comical goal to give us...
Anyone blaming Veltman for the goal/problems tonight and saying it reflects his quality has to say the same for Van Dijk. Spinazzola was always a spare man for Italy and that should have been dealt with early on. Lodeweges is a legend but he would be out of his depth as NL manager even if they...
Tories are almost uniformly sexless though. It's hard to imagine it going through their heads. And who would have explained it to them? Can't imagine Cummings eating out - it'd be missionary, cruel and quick.
Also, I think they have stopped recording their agents while they are working from home. I had a very long conversation with a fan who was handling my call while he told me all about the great away days he'd had drinking around Europe, clashing with other fans etc. Was quite entertaining, if a...
Haggle a bit, then say you're going to quit. Go through with it, leave it for a week or so and they will send you a much lower offer which you can just click to accept.
I'm a lazy schmuck so if I can do it, anyone can.
To address a couple from page one...
Nogan was doing fine in Preston/Burnley area after he retired. Enjoyed a few beers.
FDM was Locadia's agent while he was with us. I'd imagine he's set for life if he had any cut of the fee that brought JL here.
Johnny Byrne remains an absolute prince
Anyone else feel like vomming with this trend for announcing squads on Twitter as "your" squad?
Is it possible to still like Southgate when he's such a cock about not selecting one of the best defenders in the country on form and class?
