The Fish

How else do you show track development?

Mate of mine had a similar complaint. She sent a message after and said she loved seeing us and she gets why we want to talk about them, but could we maybe not do it all night. So now we consciously limit it whenever she's round and to be honest we're all better off for it. Learned more about the other dad's career after that, than I had in about 4yrs prior.

Extraction 2. Really good action set pieces. Kind of a throw back to early 00's film like The Equaliser Fun way to kill a couple of hours.

What a fucking idiot. Also, I'm pretty sure the last sentence of @Rayvin's post is sarcasm. If anyone is on Mastodon, let me know your username.

You talking about me and Diego?

That was more of a rebuke to some others who dare doubt me. Franca looks exciting, but then they all do.

Bet you've never seen him play. You just like him cos he's foreign. What does he play? A False Puttanesca? Gan strerk yer beeyadd, ya fockin doyle cunt. Dead easy, this luddite lark.

You mean Milinkovic-Savic? Yeah, he'd be great. We were linked in January, he's got a year left on his contract but will be 29 when it expires. Lazio have offered him a 4yr deal, but it's not clear if he's keen on staying. He'd cost around £30m, apparently. I'd love him here, but like you say he may be off to Milan.

I dunno who or what you're flapping your gums about. Oh and I'm so chill I'm frosty.

Alreet Captain Sarcasmo?

But there'll be other Szoboszlais. Where we can both afford the fee and the wages without knackering our existing wage structure or breaking FFP. Hell, we might buy that Szoboszlai when he's younger/cheaper.

They're not in the Champions League this coming season. But they're an elite side and it's likely that they'll be in the Champions League spots this season. We have the parts in place, but we're not there yet. Oh, and we have that sort of signing in; Isak, Bruno, Tonali, Botman, Trippier. And there'll be more to come. Just maybe not this window.

Oh we're aboard the Elite-opolis express all right, but we're not yet at our final destination. e.g. I don't think we'll get CL this season (this prediction will be revised many times before the end of the transfer window) because Chelsea and Liverpool will likely have better seasons than they did in 22/23 (maybe Spurs too). We have a thin squad which is largely inexperienced playing in multiple competitions. Brighton and Villa may still be a threat too.

Not yet. One good season, in a crazy season, does not a summer make.

Honestly, I'm bummed that it looks like we're not getting Szoboszlai. He's a really exciting player. BUT, I have to remind myself that we're 3-5yrs ahead of schedule and Szoboszlai is the kind of player who moves to an elite club. We're not there yet. Patience and zen my friends, patience and zen.

My hopes of a Lee Ryder "He's a Mag-yah!" headline are up in smoke.

I like him, but we all know these days my opinion apparently counts for nought. FOR NOUGHT!

LBW Look, Beached Whale

Same positions but different order or priority (if yours wasn't in any order then I wholeheartedly apologise). I'd say if we can get a significant upgrade on Burn then that has to be the priority. I'd love Theo Hernandez, but it's unlikely. Then I'd like a right sided centre back. Schar and Botman are great, but the drop is quality is steep. Lascelles going to West Ham (if it happens) would free up a small amount of wages and wouldn't likely command a large fee. Burn is fine as cover, better than Lascelles, but I'd prefer someone better to step into that role. Has to have passing range, in addition to normal defensive qualities. How many chances did Schar create with his quality on the ball? Be handy to have more pace as well. At right wing, unless we can get someone cheap like Guler I think we have enough quality to get by until a top tier talent becomes available to us.

Two bits of advice here LTA; 1. stick to fetishising Saint Maximin 2. Don't fuck with me, not today.

Is there another Paul Pogba? Or is it the one who couldn't be arsed in 9 games out 10, who's a stroppy cunt and who would shatter our wage structure? Shelvey had some sweet sweet passes too, and at least he had a reason to be mardy.

And the same one my Karate sensei teaches at. Y'know, the one that awarded me a black belt at 13 because I beat up the Seaton Sluice biker gang?

Why do people do this?

And we've totally done it! You don't know her though, she goes to a different school.

I remember when my little lad first came into this world (3yrs and 363 days ago), I was stationed up at my wife's shoulders. Risked a look over the 'modesty sheet' and it was like a Geiger/Escher/Bosch mash up in there. Took a beat before looking back at her so I could stop my face looking like
