Didn’t realize Gordon was your current bugbear . Thought it was still Pope. At least you’ve moved on from Lascelles. Think we’ve started quite well tbh. Loved that Kane pass to Walker - do miss that. Wish Foden used his right more. Ref seems good.

Can anyone think of a reason to hate the name Ian W.?

The irony being that the reason their Man City game got switched to 12:30 was because they were cunts.

I suspect it was pretty expensive, it’s probably 70+ years old and in excellent condition

Oh yeah absolutely. I just think that the conversation sometimes gets hung up on which country gets to buy teams rather than on whether countries get to buy teams. And that’s not a clear case of right and wrong, just what I kinda feel.

The wicker furniture set we moved from the US that now inhabits our “conservatory” was bought with my grandma-in-law’s proceeds from running the numbers for the Mafia in Akron.

I care. I don’t want countries to own football clubs. Even if their human rights’ record is spotless. Of course, I care more when it’s in my country/league.

Wanna bet?

I genuinely don’t understand what he does. Presumed it was just because I haven’t watched him much, but I still don't see it. Speaking of players who kick other players, the Aussies haven’t changed

Irvine couldn’t be more Aussie if he tried.

Really don’t see what Henderson is bringing to this tbh.

It was a well-timed laugh in his face

Again clever by Grealish and Maddison. There might be something there.

Nice little test this. Need to find a way to beat the press. Henderson is not the answer. Grealish and Maddison might be starting to find a way to play together after standing on each other’s toes a bit. Watkins looks a bit overawed tbh.

Oof what a goal that would have been.

Maddison been given a lot of license it seems.

Just started watching, how’s it been?

Maldives drew 1-1 with Bangladesh in World Cup qualifiers. Quite a discrepancy in population between those two.

Hate to dredge this up again, but this is such a great quote from - well you all know where - so here’s the current state of play: ”I think the silence means that there is maybe contemplation on what legal avenues are available and what financial recourse there may be should we, for instance, miss out on something significant by a point or three. For instance, we all know CL qualification is highly lucrative, and missing out on that revenue will impact us on many levels - from transfer budgets to sponsorship dollars. This will be quantified and I believe it will then be communicated to the PGMOL, and then left for them to decide how they think to best proceed. They might then revise their hard stance on the result and the idea of a replay. Or the club may lay bait, and only use it if and when we do miss out on something lucrative. We are still able to win the league or qualify for CL from here, in fact we are in a very good position to do just that. It would be even more damning for the PGMOL I think, if Spurs are the ones to qualify at our expense. Think there’s just lots of lawyering happening, but behind the scenes within minimum disruption to our team.”

Came on to post both of these. All that bother over a carvery too.

Welcome to West Ham.

There was a ton of laughter in the pub when that happened

David Tabby.

Fuck me lads. Enjoy your drinking while you can. I’ve had three pints of London Pride on an empty stomach and I’m flying. Youth is wasted on the young.

We’re in transition. The manager didn’t even get a full pre-season. We’re good, but I cannot wait until he gets his guys in and a good year or two. The fact that we’re where we are is kinda amazing. Lucky schedule, but we’ve earned it. Also this postpones the “Spursy” bullshit for another couple of weeks.
