The Fish

There were no fly on the wall football documentaries before 2018

I'm not sure it's a given that Livramento or Trippier will play left back. Last season we played with 4 at the back which morphed into 3 whenever Trippier advanced, Burn shifting across and the left sided midfielder and forward providing cover on the flanks. Part of the reason why ASM wasn't the man to hold down a place. Targett and Burn are fine at left back until such a time as a Trippier standard leftback becomes available at the right price. RCB is, for me, a higher priority. Without Schar we lose a lot of the outballs which caught so many opponents flatfooted. Dunno who we could pick up, Anderson from Palace is rumoured, but I dunno

Yeah, but that's the English tax, PL tax, Newcastle tax and Chelsea pay off. Apparently Saints paid £4m for him in 2021 - There is a clause in the deal that Chelsea take a cut of the profit on any future sale to a third club - However, the bigger the profit, the more the Chelsea % of the deal increases on a sliding scale - Effectively, this was so that if he became a star, both teams would make £20-£30m each - If he was decent but not quite a star, then Saints would recoup a higher % of the money - Example 1: Saints agree to sell Tino for £30m, then we keep £18m and Chelsea get £12m - Example 2: Saints agree to sell Tino for £50m, then we keep £28m and Chelsea get £22m

Who owns youtube?

£40m over x years though.

+ 40% going to Chelsea

Pancrate is a lovely fella, I'm sure. Nice family and all that. But his head does not bobble. So, No Dice, Paddy ó Dubhghaill

Literally trying to drum up support.

MF on his way to work

In fact if you can name two, you'll win a special prize.

I challenge you to, without googling, recall a single goal ol' Bobblehead scored.

I don't mind good CGI, loads of films use them and you don't even realise it. The issue is the bad CGI. The early attempts at de-ageing, sometimes where they replace people in their entirety the CGI-people lack weight and natural movement. Like Superman's moustache removal. It was so badly done that the disbelief that I'd already suspended for people shooting lasers out of their eyes, just couldn't be suspended any more and it took me out of the movie. But then the CGI in 1949, or where it's used to fill in landscapes or crowd shots is fine. And obviously stuff like Avatar is amazing visually.

Don't worry, it won't last

You're a good man Alex, a good man indeed. Dunno why I'm posting like this today by the way, feel a bit giddy for no reason.

Martin, I value your friendship and respect you greatly, but I have no earthly fucking clue what you're talking about?

If we had a more valuable, less integral player I think he'd have stayed and been used as a bit of an agent of chaos in matches where the opposition were being stubborn. In terms of mercurial French attacking players he's definitely 4th. What's my rankings? Thanks for asking, it's Robert, Ginola, HBA and then ASM. I won't be taking any questions at this time.

There's a month left.

Dunno why it's this complicated? Surely Season tickets holders have their seat first and foremost. (about 30k at the minute?) Away teams have their allocations and can sort their own shit out. (say 5k) Members have the option of a group or individual membership Then those members enter a ballot for seat(s) at their chosen price point and have their money held until the end of the ballot (remaining 17k) Once the ballot has ended, successful fans can long on and choose seats for them or their group on a first come first served basis? Any seats left over, or returned by away fans can roll into a secondary ballot. Members accrue points by attending games which slightly increases their chances in the next ballot?

Just stick it here man!

He was just a player.

Would that part of the moor opposite the Black and White Bull be viable? You'd have to move the bandstand, I guess.

It's easy man, stats. Chicks dig statistics.

That's sorted out my afternoon while I pretend to be working.

Hope that went through rigorous 'Fair Market Value' assessment.

Totally agree with this, also tack on money management. Getting budgeting to become part of your life is really important. You don't have to go the extreme that I do, but we've slashed our outgoings by reducing food waste, staying on top of phone and utility bills, being smart with who we bank with (some accounts give you tech insurance, some travel insurance, etc.). Honestly, the kind of food budgeting we do is that of a zealous nerd. I've a spreadsheet (because of course I have) which breaks down our more regular meals by ingredients and their packaging, likely shelf life and cost. e.g. if I'm making something that needs 1 bell pepper or 1 chicken breast, I'll plan other meals that need them because they are cheaper in a pack of 3. And we'll batch cook staples like Bolognese, or chilli, or curry and freeze individual portions. We've cut down on the number of "I'll just pop out and get" trips to the local Tesco Express or Sainsburys Local.
