Honestly OCK, I’d have taken your word for it.

I’m nee statistician but having thoroughly examined the data I think they’re probably better off over there like.

Gayle will be out for the rest of the season after that.

Nudge, nudge.

One of the stupidest things I’ve ever read.

You can’t call them that nowadays mate.

As long as none of the cunts start juggling.

I’ve pissed in a lot of places after a night out. Can’t recall that exact tale though, so I’m probably not guilty.

I can’t remember much racism on Toontastic. Maybe it changed in later years. There were a few interesting characters with some pretty left field opinions but I’ve seen and heard much worse. And as much as LeazesMag was a tedious apologist for Shepherd and the Halls he was absolutely right about Ashley.

Well that didn’t work. About 50% of the posters were Mackems.

That’s my recollection. Toontastic was part of the absurdly long URL, got a redesign and changed to Toonchat then relaunched as Toontastic again after the merger which gave us N-O. Used to spend hours every day on Toontastic back in the Robson/Souness/Roeder years. Skunkers was great fun too. Still around albeit half dead and under a slightly different name iirc.

You can understand how having an actual striker who knows how to play that position at this level may mean we’re better set up than not, aye?

I mean it is but then acknowledging that would prevent people from shitting their pants. It’s the same way people flip their lid and want ASM dropped the minute he has an off day, ignoring the fact his presence immediately has teams sitting five yards deeper.

I mean, he’s fucking class so I’m not sure why you’re surprised.

Shell shocked we managed to hold on to a lead tbh.

Yes. What’s your point caller?

Trippier giving his glowing report.

You must be a used car salesman’s wet dream.

I’m not sure the issue is fitness now as much as it is a squad low on talent and low on confidence.

It’s a good opportunity to get them more intimately involved with the club too. Whet their appetite a little bit. Show them the day to day, allow them to see how shit we are in person.

I’m usually a bit suspicious of ‘warm weather training camps’ as it sounds like an excuse for a bit of a jolly. No chance of that happening in Saudi. Facilities will be light years ahead of our training ground too. In that regard I don’t see any issues with it.

The DOF stuff is such a red herring. All the drama around the supposed lack of structure was whipped up by anonymous agents complaining that they didn’t know who at the club to pester on behalf of their clients.

Got as far as “sustainable, measured investments” and laughed so hard I popped a lung.
