Florin Manea on Genoa's CB Radu Dragusin: "Genoa doesn't want to give him now, but in the summer yes. If they get the price they want on it, you realize it's a lot of money. Genoa wants 30 million, they said directly. We had a team that wanted to give 25, well it wasn't on paper, but... I don't think there is anyone in Italy who would give this amount of 30 million. I talked about the Premier League area, I talked about Newcastle, but they are not the only ones, there are several teams I am talking to. The president with whom I made Gabriel Tamas at West Brom is now at Newcastle. We have known each other since 2009. They are also watching him, but also other big clubs in England. There's no official offer yet, but it's coming. It will be a pleasant surprise when it arrives."

The "wizard" is up north. "He wears a broad wizard's hat offset by an antelope-fur vest and always carries a gnarled wooden staff in his free hand. He could be Gandalf, he could be Merlin. But he's not. This eccentric character calls himself Shanrickael the Sorcerer, and he's living his life as a wandering wizard." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-10-29/wandering-wizard-turns-heads-on-far-north-qld-highways/103029912

Wearside Wanderer II: "Transformer went down a few weeks back, the temp generators are hidden in the back of bidfood lorries. Was told 12 weeks to get it fixed if at all possible at the parts are no longer made. Apparently they have to turn everything on individually so not to make it all ‘trip’." Becs: "How long are they there for? No hand dryers and no paper towels in the loos today. It's going to be unpleasant going back to your seat with wet hands once the temp drops." Grumpy Old Man: "An outage the day before the Watford game basically destroyed the stadium substation. Thought to be caused by workers on the footbridge site putting machinery through the mains cable (at least that's what they told me at the Hilton, wihc also lost power for a while. it seems some of the switchgear needs to be built to order - hence the lead time." https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/buzzing-noise-at-the-back-of-the-south-stand-block-u38.1618687/

Kenwright has passed away at 78.

"Give me a fixed camera. You are idiots! If you bet on football you're empty, you're stupid. There's no need to justify those who bet!" “There are a million things they could do. [Bet on] cats, dogs, hamsters. I am not suggesting anything. Of course, it would be better not to gamble at all. Did you bet on football? You must be empty. This is stupidity. You must be stupid." Pablo Di Canio

Sentenced to 12 weeks in prison and issued a football banning order for six years. Leeds gave him a lifetime ban. Leeds just received a £40,000 fine.

Celtic.

Julian Brandt: "We can expect a very good atmosphere there. It's different from City or Chelsea."

Toenail? Leave Paul alone.

"Officially Bleached."

after the PSG thumping: "I didn't make it because of you!" "I had to leave! I had to leave!" "It feels great, I wouldn't change anything in my career. As players, we've all had setbacks, it's all about how you bounce back from them, I've had plenty in my career, I've faced a lot of challenges. And it's about believing in yourself and that's all I've done throughout my whole career. So when I arrived here, it's all about believing, I never thought we'd be in this position so soon. But I think we've earned the right, especially last season to be here now, and it's about showing everybody what we can do as a team."

We could go back to your posts during the "purple" patch. Not one iota of a comment yearning for Murphy.

Flop? Just you!
