Still not worthy of a thread

I see N-O favourite Chiesa has barely played and Slot himself mentions he doesn't know when he'll be fully fit. We dodged a bullet.

Feels like Italians very rarely cut it in Premier League. Can only think of Jorginho and Pellè who has been good/great since like 2010, but I might have forgotten someone obvious? 

 

Edit: Tonali and Balotelli should've been mentioned

I'd completely forgotten they'd signed him tbh

[Pixelphish]

Not seen @The Prophet post for a while. Hope he's ok.

He requested a break from the board so his account was banned. 

[Pixelphish]

Ah ok fair enough!

While we're on the subject of "missing" posters, is @Village Idiot still around and posting less often (to the degree I feel I've not seen a VI post in absolute ages), or has he left the village?

He posted a few weeks back to glow in the aftermath of the Classico.

No wonder Everton are in such a state when their for.er CEO can only spout what is common knowledge...

Inoffensive choice. Quite surprised they recruited in. 

 

Hug your gammons tonight, folks.

Can't complain about that, she's a decent presenter, as are Chapman and Logan too. If they're doing a rotation, i'm really surprised Scott isn't in there given how she seems to be everywhere these days. 

 

Didn't know she was the daughter of Dalglish mind  

[Fak]

Get Ian Wright to replace her. 

[Interpolic]

3 excellent presenters, especially like Gabby Logan for the rapport she always manages to build with guests. Rotating across 3 different presenters seems a bit weird though. 

 

Lineker will be a big miss regardless. 

[Big Geordie]

Yup - Yorath and Dalglish's daughter are really good choices.

[Pilko]

Don't like the idea of rotating in general but happy enough with the people chosen for it. To think a year ago we were being told Jenas was getting the keys to the kingdom it's a hell of a result tbh

[Groundhog63]

I can't stand Mark Chapman's voice. Grates on a par with radio's Matt Edmondson

And of course we have since sucked. That teaches me.

Spain football news of the day is that - to the surprise of no one - the Spanish FA has elected another crook as president. It's a requirement for the job.

Fuckers just won't let it go...

Quote

Real Madrid feel breakaway from Uefa ‘more pressing’ than ever

 

In summary - state owned clubs must be stopped, and Real Madrid and the other super clubs must be allowed to control broadcast income.
