Waylon Jennings couldn't have done it better.

Seems like an efficient billionaire disposal system if you ask me. More of this please.

Nothing much we didn't know. We're keen to make a "big statement" transfer and are after both Maddison (who is cheaper) and Szoboszlai (who is seen as the more promising option). We ideally want Leipzig to accept a fee below his release clause but there's no reason to expect Leipzig will go along with that, so things could drag on. I think that's about it.

...then you're Arsenal.

Qualification matches peaked with Faroe Islands 1-0 Austria anyway, it's been all downhill since then.

Good man, Tom. You've got a heck of an opportunity in your hands and it'd be a real shame to blow it over this kind of thing. You know where to find me if you're having a wobble and want to chat. But aye, the TT support group is pretty well established by now.

Oh, them! They were out campaigning against the LTNs in Jesmond too. Because obviously cutting pollution and encouraging 15-minute cities is all part of the great global conspiracy too (whereas carmakers and petroleum multinationals are apparently fine? 🤷‍♀️)

That's what Dorries thought, and still she tries...

Looks like the scene around me as I type, now that we're packing for the house move. Except our decor is more tasteful. 😬

Mind, regardless of the football, anything involving Bari and Cagliari is quite the evocative Italia 90 throwback

Or that the title of "kit historian" can be procured through the ability to say "this stripey shirt look like that stripey shirt!"

That's thread attributes.

You appear to have confused me with someone who wanted your opinion

I swear I'm getting more concern for this than when I came out of the closet. But aye, it's fine. It's not like we intend to be there forever, but while we're at this age it makes sense to be close enough to London to be able to do 1-2 days a week hybrid if necessary (which might become advantageous depending on what happens to me work-wise) and the occasional theatre trip, dahling, while also being far enough away to free ourselves from landlord hell and actually have some money left over at the end of the month again. Manchester was the other option we considered but we'd only have been able to afford to live in a decidedly less salubrious part of town, so we figured why not lean into that idea completely.

It was one of the options we considered, but (for various reasons) we're headed for the Peterborough neck of the woods instead. Aye, I know , but it's fine really. The centre is a concrete mess but it's got all the stuff you need and is really well-connected so you can get out of there easily. So basically it's the Lewisham of England. Should suit us perfectly.

Off to glamorous Bradford in December for this double dose of misery.
