verb 1. test (something, especially a new product) to assess its suitability or performance.

It was a myth that he had a show string budget at Bolton. He was allaowed to bring in players from Real Madrid who paid by far some of the best wages in world football at a time when Champinship (division 1 at the time) and most Premier League teams couldn’t touch. He also brought in biggish name players, one of them was replaced by Ronaldinho at PSG when he left for Bolton. Gary side, the chairman of Bolton at the time was bank rolling Bolton to eat them into the Premier League, he had even funded a new stadium for them a few years before. Again this was back when a new stadium would be a 15-25 year investment atleast, instead of what is now a few years of Premier League funding. Are you drunk?

Such a confusing, inconsistent string of moves. Was he actually good at one point and has faded or was he always operating at a level above his capabilities at the likes of Spurs, Soton & Liverpool? Just realised he has 1 England cap too and actually scored on it too https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jun/29/steven-caulker-mental-illness-addictions-gambling-drinking-qpr I didn't know that. I can empathise with him on some of the issues there. The Dundee move actually becomes admirable in this light. Admiral in some ways, but doubt he'll see out a season. Dundee is an utter hole, and the people hate the English more than any other Scots I ever met having lived there for three years and with a Dundonian girl for eight

This is amazing.

Is it the school holidays already?

Again so soon? I know he was in the Monday after the Man U win - they posted a photo on their Facebook.

Not really. Just the same as happened last year.

This isn't true is it? The first VAR goal - Iheanacho for Leicester was called offside reviewed and then goal given. In such an instance, what happens if a covering defender stops running because it's been called offside when he could have still effected the attacker otherwise? Striker goes through scores, gets given a goal - defender can't then change his decision and start defending again. Defender should play to the whistle not the flag. It's only offside when gone referee blows not when the flag goes up. If the referee blows for offside he has to be sure it's offside.

This doesn't make sense. How can Hearts be wearing two different kits at the same time? The bit about Maroon shirts was meant to say shorts, but autocorrect decided to change it. Well you are wrong. Their home shorts are white, they are the normal away kit shorts.

Had a meeting this morning with an external property developer and he let it be known that he's a WBA fan. Didn't rate Pardew at all and is resigned to relegation already.

Leicester Tigers have a game on Saturday and they couldn’t move it to Sunday as Sheff United are playing QPR on Tuesday.

Their fans are odd balls, but it’s a decent away day and I’d rather see them of the London clubs in the PL than West Ham for example. One of the worst London aways. Pain in the arse to get to from central London, half the away end can't see the pitch.

No.

He did the same at Palace, with a different pair of gloves.

Honestly cant fathom what hasn't arrived, I could sit and do 40 security passes in a couple of hours right now for my place, Sounds like bullshit. You probably work for a proper company not a shell business operated mainly from Sports Direct HQ in Shirebrook.

Was on BT not Sky.

Yet didn't get awarded a blatant penalty.

I actually thought the same until I had seen the replay.
