Kid Icarus

It still doesn't feel real For context, I signed him on FIFA a few months ago then sold him because it felt too unrealistic even though I also signed Paqueta, Maddison, Diaby, and fucking Jude Bellingham .

I wonder if we're fully holding out for Diaby.

I've taught English as a foreign language before and I think a few on here have too. I can't tell you how incredible and rare it is for his English to be that good that quickly.

Considering Flip reckons Paqueta is better than Bruno, I think him going to West Ham of all places is the maddest. I was fully expecting Man City, Spurs, Arsenal to be in for him and if not that it would be us.

I imagine the announcement will be at 5 or 6pm to maximise who sees it

Bloody hell That's got to be a proper kick in the nuts like. Being dumped for Stoke

Very interesting! Thanks!

I meant optical, but aye obv digital zoom is awful. My lass has one of the Google Pixels with optical zoom, it was bigged up as having the best camera partly for that reason - it's terrible.

Optimal zoom is still shit on mobiles like

It only makes sense if they're going to bring in Dyche.

Yeah, Remy was very much in the Henry mould whilst also being good in the air.

Ben Foster, but it means bringing the Fozcast circus with it.

Agent ManDoon giving Neil a glowing report for shits and giggles

That's a suicidal decision if it has anything to do with the club like. Presumably it's that he wants to go.

Think he was being just a bit tongue in cheek Kaka. Calm yourself down

I'm not sure there's a huge amount of joined up thinking with the players West Ham have, but that's a really solid first team like.

That's proper annoying like.

Was thinking this yesterday. Imagine the reality of a crowd trying to sing it.

We know how transfer windows and journalism works LFEE, howeh.

Aye, that PLXI video is good but it's also almost ruined by Alex imo, I can't stand him. Joe Devine's fine when he's narrating, but on the podcast he made it unlistenable for me, constantly interrupting trying to be wacky and talking utter shit. Yeah, I'm the same with the ramble. I had thought the original presenters were still good but I've come to realise that Pete is now rubbish , his opinions on football are borderline clueless. A couple of the new few are okay but the conversations don't feel natural anymore if that makes sense?

I'll wait and see tbh, but if Romano's wrong and it doesn't happen, it's no big deal like, especially if it means we got Isak. It'll obviously take his reliability down a notch. As for Edwards, even if he's right on Pedro, us going for Isak has just made him wrong about the budget so he remains where he was in the reliability stakes, very low.

You couldn't name an industry more rammed with undeserving self-important narcissists than journalism, like. It's mad how they're all seemingly baffled why so many people actively dislike them, let alone fail to respect them at the level they seem to think they should be, like they're providing a valuable service to humanity. The likes of Romano have completely exposed the idea that their worth to us doesn't go beyond how ITK they are and no one gives a shit about their copy. And they can't stand it.

I hope the current format of the Tifo podcast stays as it is. Presented by JJ, who's great. No Joe Devine and his excruciating patter, likewise Alex and his. Just people who love football talking about the football. None of the staleness of The Ramble, none of the pretentiousness of TTFS, and it has the most important thing for me, the feeling that it's authentic. Just watching the one after our match on Sunday now and it's really good, a huge improvement.

Who's Mauriss? Is that a takeover thing I missed?

He's not a parody You'd be forgiven for thinking he is though
