So you’re saying we had to reduce our signing on bonus by a tenner and that’s made the deal fall through?

Think the theory behind it is fairly sound - plenty who purchased houses back in the 70s and 80s have seen exponential growth in their wealth without really doing anything. In practice, though, I struggle to see how it works: you’d effectively reduce housing market liquidity for exactly the...

Beckham was a big problem really as he could only properly function in a 442 and was the pin-up of the time. Don’t get me wrong, great player, but meant we had to sacrifice the rest of the team structure. That’s not necessarily isolated to 2004 though as you’d still have to accommodate Rooney...

Tempted by the swim shorts.

It’s interesting how the true patriots (TM) among us want: - No more people - No more houses - No more anything - Economic stagnation - The health of our aging demographic covered by lower tax receipts - Britain to naturally regress to an ‘also-ran’ nation

If it were any other nationality I’d probably label you a xenophobe, but for once I agree. Had an experience in Lille at a cafe where I ordered in French (ok, like you, not pitch perfect, but passable) and was told in English “I don’t understand”. Laughed through it and ordered in English but it...

Transfer in . It’s just a standard bank account.

I use a Chase account. Same theory as Monzo, etc in that you are charged currency conversion at Mastercard’s nominal rate for the day, but also get 1% cash back on all spending. Martin Lewis recognises this as the best account to have for spending abroad. I now use it as my UK account as well.

What hyperbolic nonsense.

Even then, for a period you had Carrick and Hargreaves starting together at club level. I’d have made use of that and played Lampard or Gerrard in front. Think there’s a huge benefit of using club partnerships at international level. You could suggest it was a big part of Spain’s dominance as 8...

Bit like you then.

I think you’ll find Kitching’s main issue is his fucking bowl cut. Sort your hair out, man.

I know late 90s and early 00s football gives you the horn, but a defence containing Gallas and Silvestre is…questionable.

Kind of plays into the point around messaging being incorrect from the get-go.

There’s been a fair few TV debates out the way without having to face scrutiny, hasn’t there.

Take this with the pinch of salt it’s intended to be taken with, but if we did move Sheaf on and managed to secure some of the names floated then we could potentially be looking at a very strong and deep squad…

If we can keep him as the specialist 10 in the squad and move Palmer on then I’d be keen. Shedding Palmer off the wage bill would probably see us not far off a neutral position across the two.

Not for me. He was decent but not particularly brilliant on the ball.

May have already been said (and possibly even by me!) but… Uber drivers are without doubt the most dangerous drivers on the road.
