The trailer for the new Rain Man film looks shite

True, but that was the PL making the decision - the arbitrator will make a decision here. Both sets of lawyers will have presented their case, but they would have no clue as to the outcome until the judgement is given. I’ve been through arbitration and adjudication a number of times - no matter how confident you are, you’re none the wiser until the decision is given.

They wouldn’t know the judgement until it’s made - there wouldn’t be anything to leak

You’ve been hiding behind that the whole time. A bit like the Mackems talking about how long since they lost a derby while playing third division football. Definitely time for Britain vs America III. Can’t leave the series hanging.

This ref likes blowing a second or so before the half ends

Gordon playing like a Southgate player with his first touches

Referee buying everything as well mind

I don’t see any manager at a top club taking the England job these days. It’s for the about-to-retire or never-has-beens

True enough. Dennis Wise on the left wing still gives me nightmares though.

Not as strong as the forward options available to Southgate.

Definitely did not have better attacking talent available at Euro 2000. That side was shite.

There was a bloke who used to sit behind me at SJP who would be quiet for most of the game, and whose only contribution to the noise would be to occasionally shout ‘FUKKIN MOOOOVE MAN’ England could sorely use that man’s wise counsel in Germany

Yep. The arrogance of the man is phenomenal. ‘Nothing wrong with my system, obviously. Just need to find the randomly correct individual and all shall click. They’ll see’

Like all dogshit managers, Southgate is stubborn. Everyone else can see what the problems are, they are so obvious. He won’t because he won’t be told what to do. Credit to the bloke, he’s managed to persuade lower middle class football fans that he isn’t just another Fat Sam or Bruce because he wears a nice wesskit and makes sad faces at bad racism

CARLTON! CARLTON!

It doesn’t mean anything like as much. Which is why entertainment is even more important.

Whichever daft cunt PL owner appoints Southgate after the England job will absolutely prove they know sweet FA about football. This is just completely turgid.

Which is what Isak is meant to be on, and is a lot higher than what Wilson is meant to be on

I mean, clearly he was right about the link and broke the story first. So he isn’t that shit. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a wanker.

I’ve no issue with MCO being blocked in Europe tbh. Obviously that should also apply to clubs who already are in one, too.

I really wouldn't

I mean, I was watching it thinking 'well yeah of course he would know Ghislaine Maxwell, he was Derby manager when Robert Maxwell owned the club. Doesn't mean he's in Epstein's noncing gang' And then there is the antisemitic conspiracy rug pull at the end ... lovely stuff. Totally thought it was going down a different conspiracy rabbit hole

Yep, I don't doubt we'd get a nominal fee. But anyone with eyes could see that Dubravka was the weakest link in that side - we didn't finish 7th because of him, unless the statement was 'why didn't Newcastle finish 5th?'

All opinions of course, but I’d be astonished to get anything for a 35 year old reserve goalie with 1 year left on his contract

We wouldn’t get £500k for Dubravka
