I was on a flight to Faro last Sunday with this lot. I was sat directly behind Jack Ross and I was a little bit drunk when I got on the plane, resulting in a few little digs at them (all taken in good humour). However, at the end of the flight I spoke with the manager about signings, the size of the squad and their ambition for the season. He didn't even try to hide the fact he's pissed off with the lack of money available and the current state of the squad. I asked how many players he had and he replied "19 I think it is today, some of them wont be here next week and half of them are kids". He was a decent enough bloke actually and was just laughing about the wind ups at the start of the flight.

He also said it's almost certain they wont spend a single penny.

Not like TCD to be wrong.

Got Portugal in the work sweepstake. Could be worse I guess

 

Could be equally as bad, that's about it.

 

Sweepstakes are a pet hate of mine. Pay £1 and hope you one of about 4 teams, if not the whole thing is pointless.

 

Isn't that the whole point of a sweepstake?  It's a gamble like any other.

 

Much better when envelopes are closed until the end though.

 

Yep - I'm in where we're doing that - meeting for the final and opening before! Our football team also have one which we opened the envelopes on Sunday - I picked two - Saudia Arabia and Panama  £20 in the bin!

Aye, we're doing that at the cricket club. Envelope draw and everyone gets together to watch the final and open envelopes.

Just come in this thread because I've got world cup excitement today for some reason.

This pink seat swap bbq is as small time as it gets

FFS I really like having lots of La Liga available on Sky Sports Mix.

Love watching La Liga on a Saturday and Sunday night. Just have to hope it's available somewhere.

Fair enough, for me Fulham is one of the few clubs I don't actively dislike. Very non-offensive club.

Couldn't agree more. All round decent club with a nice ground to visit. They also play decent football nowadays so would be a welcome addition.

What's your favourite sketch? Gangs Of The EPL always slays me.

 

British Manager's Club for me.

 

The Manager's Club is immense, I'd probably say the Scottish tales overall. They don't crop up as often as they used to though.

Yeah that's a great one as well.

"Plenty of tit to spare" always makes me crease as well.

What's your favourite sketch? Gangs Of The EPL always slays me.

Gangs of the EPL has always been my favourite, but the recent Peter Beardsley jokes have had me in hysterics.

They haven't done it in a while but Santi Cazorla impression is devastatingly funny.

Marcus Rashford is hilarious as well, another that is rarely used.

Everyone needs to subscribe to mince like, Mackem kyent aside it's quality.

Andy Dawson is absolutely shit like, just have to tolerate him to get some gold from Bob. Just listened to the most recent episode on the way to work this morning, had the car window down which resulted in some weird looks from people at traffic lights and crossings The Harry Kane impression gets me every time.

I can probably live with it if it's not over Christmas. Christmas would be unbearable without football.

As long as they don't touch Xmas it might be bearable. Can't wait until they do this for "rest" though and then whisk squads off to the arse end of nowhere to play in friendly tournaments.

B365 giving half stake back on each way bets on national if you put your bets on before 12.

Social media team doing some sterling work nowadays.

So if he isn't realistically going to sell, then what are those who still attend going to do when (as would inevitably happen) Rafa leaves?

 

No sale this time must surely mean more concerted action?

Rafa must be the main reason for those still prepared to attend doing so?

Once he foists another Pardewesque appointment, with zero spend on the squad then will the penny finally drop?

 

The sale this time cannot be overemphasised imo for the whole future of the club.

In Stifler I trust.

Where'd Jack go? Miss him.

 

Just checked out his last posts and it's the IP at a festival GIF, naturally.

Aye, I just looked at that. Possibly went back to lurking.

Just spent half an hour catching up on this thread. Marvellous stuff

Embracing failure yet again. 

He's a beautiful man with beautiful skills, if you don't like him then stay out the fucking thread and allow us to masturbate in peace.

The Liverpool stat

Genuinely devastated. I was looking forward to abusing this cunt for 90 minutes. He would have been a totally broken man a la Stoke away. So sad right now  :'(

Gutted.

Hatem  Fuk da h8ers

Where in town is likely to be showing this that isn't Nine bar?

The Star, opposite O2 academy.

Anyone who is not listening to Athletico what the fucks wrong with you?

Agreed

Peter Beardsley telling jokes is Bob Mortimer at his best Some of the jokes really do make me laugh out loud as well!

I know I keep plugging Athletico Mince, but there's a great episode of the British Manager's Lunch Club on the newest one (Big Sam, Pardew, Pulis, Roy and Moyes).

It's absolute gold  Both Mince and the lunch club. This weeks Peter Beardsley was ridiculous as well!
