That’s brilliant

It nails a lot of my feelings about Glastonbury like. And that’s having seen barely any of it this year. The point about Rod Stewart as well. I mean he was a parody of himself when I was a kid in the 80s. I do think he did some ok stuff about a decade before that but he’s that type of artist where I just cannot fathom anyone wanting to see live, ie a renowned vocalist whose voice is absolutely shot. It’s just embarrassing for all concerned. Then you have the BBC presenter cunts going full North Korea and insisting (I assume, as they did with Elton John) that it was a <insert superlative here> performance for the ages.

The initial signings took the club forward at a ridiculous rate. But they’ve also left us in the predicament we are in re: PSR. To just heap praise on Staveley doesn’t really look at the whole picture. Obviously PSR is designed to stymie us interlopers. And we’ve all got to give fanks to Mike for the lack of revenue streams which have also been a massive factor. I do think she was a good link between the footballing management side of things and the (real) ownership however. But I don’t think it was a particularly sustainable transfer policy. Unless you’d be happy to see some of our best players leave to go to the sides we’re trying to chase down

I wonder what she sees in him

Mid 90s Scottish IDM duo

Yeah but you could still theoretically demonstrate that more easily if you’re established, successful team I suppose. I.e. there’s no way we’d have been allowed to make a similar argument/have a similar valuation. I mean it’s all fucking bollocks anyway and it was just a way of letting Chelsea get out of their predicament.

And what would the team have been worth? They aren’t in the top flight and weren’t they newly promoted to the second tier at that time?

Was just about to post that the Madrid one is absolutely awful imo

None of that forrin muck

That thread is absolutely deranged

Still looks better than going to Glastonbury

Lalo Schifrin.

Nothing, I repeat nothing, attracts young footballing talent like a Victorian mid-terraced house

Schrodinger’s mackems. Where you’re simultaneously a ‘massive’ club with global recognition whilst being utterly obsessed with how you’re perceived in relation to your rivals (as per that thread) and are a stepping stone for promising youngsters

The globally recognised SR6 postcode area

Not sure but Tassotti and Maldini might have a slightly stronger case

I know it’s meant to be Roman ruins but it reminded of the time when fucking hundreds of them queued up to climb to the top of Penshaw monument. I.e. a slightly higher view from the top of a column already perched on top of a hill

They’ve won a major trophy and played competitive European football more recently than Gateshead was in County Durham 👍🏻

I’m alright but I’d be better if I could get a prescription for cannabis. In case anyone’s wondering

The Rat was indoors / underground

Reminds him of the time he made that story up 👍🏻

There you go @Tom

He wasn’t here very long, but you wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of Mick Harford either
