Aye, he should be sold on the basis of that outfit alone

Also on mixcloud (and soundcloud) Greg Wilson is worth a follow. Been DJ-ing for about 50 years and also is a master of the re-edit. But for the pop crazed youngsters of a certain age, if you go on his mixcloud profile, go to ’Shows’ and scroll down, there’s some ‘time capsule’ shows which are all funk and soul type stuff from a certain month in the mid/late 70s like the one below:

In my mind I can hear John Peel saying it

@Dr Gloom you heard this btw?

Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER

Quite an unedifying end to Henderson’s career. I had a lot of time for him as a player but he’s pissed on his chips in terms of the moral role model image he tried to project before going to Saudi Arabia. And the mackems have disowned him. So it’s not all bad news for him -
I don’t recall having heard LT speak but it sounds she talks like she writes
-
At least that much I reckon
-
They aren’t bothered about paying it off though. It’s about increasing income, which does count for PSR against redevelopment costs (which don’t count). I do agree a brand new stadium right next to the current SJP makes more sense if it’s viable though

Fanks, Mike

I think, with the PSR predicament/still trying to slowly build a top class squad, the longer term risk of not being able to sell them down the line far outweighs the shorter term risk of them not being available for the rest of the season. I agree with argument for keeping Longstaff as he allows midfield rotation and a decent option off the bench. But with Targett, he can only really play in one position and there’s probably 4 players - Hall, Burn, Livramento and possibly Kelly who Howe would prefer there. Similar with Almiron and Murphy, Barnes, Joelinton and Gordon. I get what you’re saying though, selling 3 players who’ve featured this season might be pushing our luck.

As well being run of the mill lazy journalism, the Thierry Henry comparisons are a reminder that Isak is the sort of player that should be playing for Arsenal / Arsenal are the sort of club Isak should be playing for.

I’m guessing that’s an arrangement which also suits his colleagues. I bet it’s a nightmare being his line manager.
-
I think he recently retired. I occasionally look at his blog. It veers from the sublime to the uncomfortably ridiculous but he mentioned it on there a while back I think. I did used to sometimes see him there though.

Yeah, or go to the Newton for an hour and do the same

Pure accidental Partridge. And there’s a legion of fuckers who think he’s profoundly ‘dropping big truths’

When my dad worked there you were allowed 45 mins per week (maybe a fortnight) to visit the onsite barbers. So obviously every single male employee there used that to go whether they were getting a haircut or not. I.e. if not just go and read the paper. I also remember the staff canteen with the bar next to it. With subsidised prices. A woman I worked with who did 3 days a week had 4 or 5 bottle of Lowenbrau Pils every lunchtime she was there. Whilst only taking a 30 minute lunch
-
I never actually take flexi leave although I do appreciate being able to work flexibly. I struggle to take all my annual leave. But the flexible working arrangements are more flexible than even back then. You don’t clock in and out with those plastic keys anymore though. That was incredibly open to abuse
-
Probably decided they no longer have the funding for the role and haven’t got the balls to just say that.
-
And what Renton says
-
Yeah. What ewerk says. The lack of professionalism around something as straightforward as this (ie even just getting back to you as a courtesy) doesn’t bode well for what they’d be like to work for imo.
-
I’ve got both on mine Tbf in this spell at Benton Park View (as it’s now known) it’s nothing like it was nearly 30 years ago, when I last worked there. Completely different department and type of role now too. Back then it was ridiculous like. People used to just disappear for hours and getting just pissed enough so the boss didn’t have to get involved was commonplace of a lunchtime. It’s still an odd place like

heard that one before and also seen it applied to the Ministry
