TV showed a bunch of absolute wallopers in our end having a boogie to whatever shite the PA was pumping out after full-time. Couldn't tell you what tune, it was drowned out by the sound of me fatha spinning 15,000RPM in his grave.

state of the defending though

The fee we got for Maxi didn't do that much to suggest "our terms" to me

Allowed eight in the squad, I believe. As for the chat about living in Saudi Arabia, I'll admit to being grimly curious as to what'll happen the first time one of these players gets into trouble with the police in any of the ways that many modern footballers are wont to do.

Yeah of course it's political, what isn't political about the recognition or otherwise of a nation state?

There's a half-decent reason why Israel and Israeli clubs affiliate to UEFA, which is that a decent quantity of AFC nations don't recognize either their state or their passports (the latter being the case with Saudi Arabia). Were a Saudi club drawn against in Israeli club in the Conference League, at least one leg would be getting played on neutral ground.

Probably to be expected given they're all spunking this cash on midfielders and forwards with not a defender to be seen. Wouldn't be surprised to see records getting broken when you've got Neymar, Mahrez, Firmino et al going up against tin cans every week. (Though that's probably unfair, given I've zero fucking clue how good the Saudi players are - one off World Cup results aside - seeing as none of them play overseas. I know they sent some players on loan to Spain a few years back and none of them seem to have done much exciting. Who knows?

Ziyech deal apparently a "free loan" with option for a "free transfer". The guy was never going to be a absolute top tier player, but did look brilliant at Ajax. And now after the Chelsea treatment it's "give him a shot and if you like you can have him for nowt.". What an embarrassment.

you're going to shit yourself when you learn about satire

Maybe he just doesn't give a shite? He had nowt to say at Ajax when it was known inside the club that Overmars was sex pesting around the office. Also, whatever happened to the claims about Antony being an abuser? Story seems to have disappeared.

Aye sounds like Gil. His Wikipedia article is a trip: Spanish John Hall tbh

"Torso Deception" sounds like it could be the great underrated Fall album

Not a kit I know, but get a load of how Brexit Means Brexit this is. These shoes will come with a free Paul Weller wig. These shoes will have you demanding WTO rules. These shoes want to see what'd happen if you tried building a church in one of their countries. These shoes want to know why they've all got the newest mobile phones. These shoes will make you racist.

Luke Edwards (bald) ran immediately to his typewriter to shit out a predictably Telegraph take

Aye, still open and is, indeed, the National Football Museum - if you're looking to offer it to a museum, it'd be the logical choice (in the UK at least, dunno about a Hungarian equivalent!)

Logical conclusion of the (disgraceful!) speeding-up of the Blaydon Races over the years is getting to hear the corner giving it Chop Suey full throat.

wish i fucking hadn't tbh

Personally speaking I long for the days of yore, when the most interaction you'd have with the chair of the football club is when you flick past their notes in the programme, and the idea of knowing who was running other clubs was in most cases a complete fucking mystery.

Magyar in peace..

what's wrong with sucking dick?
