Thread title meant to be "Bruce's British Boys" surely?

I muted Twitter entirely a year and a half ago. Highly recommend that course to everyone.

Clearly thinks it's a proper English lad named Joe Linton.

That we'll immediately turn into piss by spunking it on compensation to Wednesday for Brewcie's mates "coaching" staff.

WMS = Wind-up Merchant Specialist?

I'm as big a Rafa fan as anyone. Not just the coach and the work ethic, but the genuinely lovely human side he expresses to fans and the public. I do believe he truly wants a resurrection project and thought he could convince Mikey Flappy-Denim of the potential NUFC holds, and the financial sense of maximizing it. He simply underestimated the sheer stubbornness/short-termism/grudge-bearing ability of Mr. Zero Hour. I honestly do not believe that "man" has never forgiven the fans for "turning" on him so he can't get pissed and eat pies in the seats with the "regular" folks, rather than the Director's box. I think the China detour is something to occupy Rafa's time/fatten his bank account so he can consider an even broader range of potential projects as a close-to-family exclamation point to his career. One for which he'll get buy-in to his plan before signing on the dotted. I don't fault Rafa for his detour, and would be very interested to see the contract he's signed with DS, particularly what "outs" it provides him. We all know there are plenty of sleeping giant/perpetually-mismanaged Championship sides that, with the right visionary owner and Rafa and his staff, could climb to the mighty heights of 7th-10th in the Premier League. Especially since they'd cost a fuck of a lot less than 350M quid. Forest? Leeds? A Sheffield? Southampton? Blackburn? Hell, PNE if he wants to truly resurrect a ghost (sorry, currently reading Wilson's "Inverting the Pyramid"). Dare I suggest, that with new ownership, it might even be us.

Not generally one to click on Sun links, but what a picture of Rafa they selected!

Optimistic or not, the husky-flappin-in-the-breeze-denim-wearing, fireplace-puking, petulant-man-child does not give a fuck.

FC Cincinnati down 0-2 to L.A. Galaxy after 15 minutes, and Ibra hasn't even bothered to get involved. Need someone to get them on the front foot! Plus, Cinci's left back needs subbing. Obviously think this move would be hilarious and yet another stake through the silver fox's charred remnants of a managerial "career."

Our local non-MLS team knocked FC Cincinnati out of the U.S. equivalent of the FA Cup last week. They're definitely ripe for some fret!

Getting to be more people I've blocked posting in this and the biscuit thread than people I haven't. Please stop quoting the knackers. Thanks.

Properly spoilered as Eye AIDS. The black bits are so random. Deffo assembled by the blind, disabled Vietnamese kids, rather than just the disabled ones, like every other club's kits.

Seconded. Would appreciate y'all using an @ to these morons if you can't overcome the impulse to reply to the knackers (you KNOW who they are). Ta.

It's like a back zit that you just can't get proper leverage on. Hurts enough to be distracting, and you keep trying to get the fucker, but you just know it's more likely that it will disappear on its own, rather than giving you the glorious pleasure and satisfaction of popping the bastard.

Yep. My daughter, who is a high school/club soccer player, can't stand watching men's games because of that bullshit. My least favorite part of the game. Well, apart from Jack Colback.

Lee says don't worry, he's got this!

Still following this advice. Very instructive, though all I've learned about Fridays is that Ms. Khalifa babysits frequently, and very often the father of the kids she's babysitting gets home quite a bit before their mother. So much more rewarding than this thread. Also, please feel free to stop quoting certain folks that I have blocked. Kind of kills the buzz.

Anyone heard who won the Fountains Square trophy? We all know that's what really matters.

Signed document leaked!

Would you use your real name if you played for them? #ShiteFootballerProtectionProgram

Think we'll aim to keep our power dry and won't shoot our wad this early in the summer.

More likely get his brother Somaney. stop it. Only did it because I had to look your guy up. With that last name I figured I just wasn't getting the pun and was in danger of being whooshed.
