The Fish

twitter ( I know) says £2.5m and Transfermarkt says £2.47m

Gamez didn't play much, but that could simply be that he wasn't up to the standard to play more? Rather than not being fit enough, I'm sure I read somewhere that he was always on the training ground, so I don't think fitness is an issue. There's rumours we're after another fullback, England U19 I think.

I wouldn't give it to any of them. I'd leave it fucking vacant until we've got a decent manager available.

I'd expect him to leave, but it'd be nice to have some actual cover at fullback. Gamez, Janmaat, Mbabu, Haidara, Dummett. 2 of those 5 are often injured and the last is probably better off as a centre back.

Pardew's not much better, I think his W% is about 39%? In comparison, Fernando Santos' top flight record is 58%, Deschamp's is 44%, and Joachim Low's is 48%

If we'd stayed up and were building a side that could compete for top half I'd really try to keep him, but as it is, we need the Ritchie's and Gayles of the world, not the Gini Wijnaldum's. Good player, but no fight for us. To be honest I'd stick some money on him getting double figures.

Their records in the top flight;

There's a few fake meltdowns that have drawn the real meltdowns out, like warm salty water does splinters. I reckon there'll be more blame aimed at the FA if they start poorly; disrupted preseason, head's gone, players not brought in in time.

Got to work as early as possible to avoid the Northern Line at it's worst and to knock off early and enjoy the sun*. *Sunshine Sheilas

Enjoy it man, it's lush weather.

Well, sure, there's that, but it's also got one of the finest* death scenes ever. It's a good film though. *over-acted.

Unlike you to change your position.

You've never watched Platoon?! That's more shocking than Ewerk's cinematographically impoverished childhood!

Dave's gonna Dave.

Gamez can play either side.

Their mouths were probably flooding with saliva as they do when you're about to throw up.

She's a career politician.

Love what? RTG? Nope, it's just busy, that's all. There's a few decent posters on there, but they often get drowned out by the others who're invariably called 5 in a row FTM, smellymags or the like. I do enjoy it when someone with a moniker similar to those calls me obsessed. I can post the most innocuous sentence and there'll be a hoary host screaming into their keyboards "FUCK OFF MAG!! FTM" as if that will, in any way, make me less likely to post.

Hangovers in your mid 30s aren't sunshine and gudrops either to be fair. Was out for a friends 30th, her family is Irish and fuck me can they keep a party going. 3am and an 80yr old is still dancing about with the girls in their late 20s/early 30s. (I was leaning against the wall, pretending to drink Jamesons with the Uncles on the terrace )

Genuinely moving that, to be fair.

Christ alive. Where've they pulled that nonsense from?

The latter bit makes sense to me, but I don't understand the first bit. I couldn't give a toss what gender the Ghostbusters are, as long as it's funny. Which, unfortunately it sounds like it isn't. Bear in mind Ghostbusters will be getting panned by 40yr old virgins before they see it, terrified that it's going to ruin their childhood... somehow. (and to be fair it's not been well received by critics I respect too). (not saying DK is one of the virgin btw)
