I find it hard to believe you never had BBQ'd pudding.

Looking for drugs?

At least he laughed about it.

Low earth orbit little Joe. Keep on earth.

Sandro, close.

Nice run Joe.

No, but that would have been an instant classic.

Nice one there. Decent shot.

That was a decent finish.

and worse........added time.

Forgot the ball there Will.

What the hell, football is a funny old game.

Well, as the resident optimist here. Yikes.

That is great. Last thing I want to see.

Thank you that does help indeed. I think the NFL would also need a majority to throw out the commissioner. It sounds like this bad situation pre-dates Americans buying the teams. I don't doubt rich American interests will want to make money. I guess are British owners all altruistic? Seems like that rat Ratcliffe fits right in with those pieces of shit Glazers ( never liked them before I met you lot even ).

It's fine here because that's all we know. You guys know I'm a yank. I have absolutely no interest in seeing that model in England or anywhere else it isn't wanted. I first found out about the English pyramid from a computer game called "Football Manager". No, not the Eidos or Sports Interactive game. I think it was Peja or Addictive games. I got a copy on my Commodore 64 in the mid 80's and was amazed by how interesting it made sports, promotion and relegation that is. It was a revelation to me. That said, in the USA and specifically the NFL, the commissioner has a great deal of power to steer the game and league in whatever direction he wants. HOWEVER, he can be fired by the owners of the 32 teams. He works for them. He is hired and fired by the team owners. Is the head of the EPL (Richard Masters) specifically hired by the owners? Can they directly order a change like that? In other words, can the owners of the EPL teams force change he doesn't enact? Honest question.

I believe the "Feasibility study" for conducting a "Feasibility study" has finally concluded. Rumour is the feasibility study is a go!

Well, the fact they are now at least in place and have been operating for a bit gives me hope but at this time last year a manager search would have been a bloody disaster.

I can see why you'd prefer a smaller fee.

Not good Eddie, not good.

Is there any part of the club you do like?

Close.

Wow, +9

About to? I put on my hazmat suit 90 minutes ago.

Nick on for Tonali......odd. I liked the Wolte Wissa suggestion.
