There has to be some very basic AI out there that could knock out articles on a par with what 95% of football journalist write.

It does seem like a bit of a no-brainer to get Greggs and one of the local breweries to knock out at least some of the food and booze in the ground.

We won't buy any players that we don't want to sign, but we might buy some players that we do want to sign. Cracking stuff.

For all the shite he gets, I couldn't be happier for him.

The commentator on my stream just said that Joelinton has a wonderful strike. Literally everything about Joelinton is wonderful apart from his strike.

Aye, unless Spurs are in the lead and then it'll be 3.

I packed in the booze in August so haven't seen him since then Will ask and see if he's heard any more.

It was me who posted that. Was told by a pal of mine who owns a couple of the bars nearby.

The thread title change after pre-season was an inspired move.

Got Wraith and the Lancastrian Suite written all over it, this.

The atmosphere generated by megaphones, drums and whatnot abroad in places like Turkey is incredible. You know it'd never be like that if it someone tried it here. It'd be a massive cringe. The band at England games for example.

Smashed the world record and then ran almost another km afterwards. Canny flex.

Let him have a crack at it IMO. Bet he'd be great.

Had we not been run like a pub team a couple of those lads might have made it. Probably a few wasted careers in there. Obviously Toney got out in time to save himself.

You’ve lost me.

Nationality is a construct and, for me at least, completely meaningless. It’s human nature to want to belong to something, but I’d much rather it be something that I’ve chosen for myself than the bit on a map that I just happened to be born in.

Exactly. When opinions range from absolutely loving the monarchy to absolutely hating them, it’s just asking for trouble trying to coordinate anything like this.

Absolutely nowt wrong with booing the national anthem if that’s how you feel about it. I would. Booing a dead person, regardless of all the horrendous stuff her and her family represent, is pretty different imo. Keep it out of organised events like sport and let people mourn on their own time if that’s how they feel.

They haven't done owt yet man

Seems to have had two relatively steady seasons as number 1 at Besiktas since his champions league mare, so its probably as decent a move as we could have made.

Fair one

Shame for Brighton as it seemed like they were onto a really good thing with him. The big 6 hoovering up anything decent happening at the rest is vile and it's not going to change. Seems like Potter is a long-term manager rather than a quick fix but I can't see him, or anyone else for that matter, lasting more than 18 months at Chelsea.

This is it. No consequences, nowt will change and it'll happen again within the next couple of weeks or whenever we next play one of the big 6.

My guess is that those are the four who would have had action taken against them if UEFA had any intention of enforcing their own rules. Covid was a handy way to get out of doing anything. There'll be another reason next time around.
