No worries FANNYFACE!

20:04 if you want to skip to the exchange with Hope. Tbf, the bit that didn't sound great was when Hope said that Mitchell claimed he only had a support role in the window, and was that the case. Howe says he doesn't think it's right for him to make individual comments in reply to Mitchell's press conference as that "isn't going to help our current situation". It could just be Howe trying to shut down Hope's line of questioning, or it could be that he was gonna be forced to disagree with Mitchell if he replied. Hope is on this one though. None of the other questions from other journalists have been looking for needle.

Botman ahead of Lascelles in terms of rehab. Both coming along well.

Miley's back on the grass apparently. I didn't even know he had a drug problem.

They're still all asking PSR questions and about the last day of the window though. Trying to pick at what they see as a wound.

Asked again about whether he's happy in his role he says "yes I'm happy, feeling good". Aye, my take was he was saying that it was unsustainable in that we can't just keep spending on relatively established players. We have to identify them sooner, or you get in PSR bother. Halfway through the press conference and nothing negative so far.

Got the press conf on now. Howe with some pretty glowing praise of Bunce early on.

How has "hit back" at Mitchell, according to Hope. This is around his "transfer strategy not fit for purpose" comment. Apparently Howe has said "we can hold our heads up very high. I took ownership of all those signings. They have been brilliant." I'll be interested to see the tone and context of these comments.

I'd be the same if I was at the old place. Honestly though, unless you're the sort of person who is self employed and/or have managed to turn something that you love doing into your job, or you're doing a genuine good thing like saving lives, you SHOULD see work as a massive inconvenience and an imposition on your time. That's what it is. It's stopping you doing the things that you'd like to be doing or spending time with friends and family, and as necessary as it is to earn a living, that is bullshit and you shouldn't be getting up with a big smile on your face to bust a gut to make someone else rich. Americans are terrible for this. Thinking that hard work, in and of itself, is somehow a virtue. Fuck that. You've been hoodwinked.

Listen, we can't all have French a-levels, but for those of us that do, it's only right that we help out where we can.

Aye I saw that too. She's basically arrived at the same conclusion as Hope, but a week after he did. She's got a fucking percolator for a brain. Hope has written something today as well with the teaser "Bruno cause for concern after mare comment". Basically Tim Vickery (!) said on Talksport that Bruno is "having a mare" with Brazil atm and coming in for a lot of criticism for fans. Ooooo, sound the CAUSE FOR CONCERN klaxon. I couldn't give a fuck, Craig. I would imagine that will only make him happier to come back to a club where he's fucking idolised. And you know EXACTLY what you're doing with a teaser like that on a paywalled article.

Right. Fuck me. You put your finger in a lass's gob and described it as the best blowjob of your life. The dentist absolutely goes to town with his fingers in your wife's gob, and you seem absolutely fine with it. I honestly think you need to stop her going.

New Garmin ACTUALLY. I've yet to try and force it up my anus, but it's early days.

Loads of stuff during that five year period that she wanted to do, and it was always "well shall we see how it works out with my job first?" We were on half pay for about 4 months during covid cos it was running out of money. And this cunt has just turned up and sees all the people that did this as immediately disposable. He genuinely deserves a proper hiding.

It was the dentist having a sword fight in her gob that I was talking about.

You don't say "at chez wykiki". Chez basically means "at the house of". So the "at" is redundant. JE VOUS EN PRIE!

Working at a start-up btw. I was there 5 and a bit years, and there wasn't a day when the future of the business wasn't in question, cos it constantly needed investment until it started trading. I would never put myself in that position again. That's a young man's game. Being in your mid to late 40s, with a fairly chunky mortgage and one eye on the path to retirement, and having that constantly in your head was dead stressful. I bought something a couple of weeks ago, and realised that it's the sort of decision I would have agonised over when I was working there cos I felt like the axe could swing at any time - and there would be no redundancy, just a month's notice and off you fuck.

It is only work, but it's also absolutely dismal when you're doing a job you hate. The place I left recently eventually got the investment it needed to survive, but from a complete cunt who is talking about insisting people do 5 days a week in the London office. Now this was a North East based startup project, so this is effectively constructive dismissal of all of the people that worked on it from the beginning and built it into a successful business. He just wants his own team working in London so he's making this ludicrous demand because he knows everyone will leave. I genuinely don't know how rich cunts like this sleep, doing that to people. I was really fortunate to get out before all this shit happened.

@Christmas Tree I was wondering how you feel about your wife going to the dentist.

Wilson is "behind where we want him to be" in terms of fitness according to Howe. Stick that on his gravestone ffs. Willock also not yet training with the rest of the squad.

This one from 2002 when tbd visited Trump Tower.

The Ant Hill Mob turned up to take on the Gremlins.

Vapists gonna vape.

They prefer vapist.
