Paul Mason saying it’s a set up, a convaluted way of exiting Ukraine 🤪

Dictators either die in office or are overthrown.. ”meet the new boss, same as the old boss” 😏

FF have always been distinctly average…at least Doves haven’t been flogging a dead horse for 20+ years

Generation X I think you’ll find young ‘un

This is what I’m trying to tell these FIFA spreadsheet wonks mate. They should read that article with the weird pics…”he’s more Di Rossi than Pirlo” 👍

I can tell these so called “journos” where he’ll play, in midfield, because he’s a fuckin midfielder 😀

***PAGING MR MUG RIGHTER*** 😆

Chiesa/Fernandez story stinks worse than a week old turd left in an desk drawer… someone is at it, difficult to tell who but it’s in there for an alterior motive

FYI: Robin Robin lives in Oz and isn’t subject to BoE bullshit anti inflation policies 😀

Plagiarist

@Howay don’t know if you subscribe but this explains in a 10 minute read mostly what you said the other day https://theathletic.com/4624201/2023/06/21/saudi-arabia-chelsea-funding/?source=user_shared_article

Looks like he’s the new Rob Lee to me ie a “midfielder” as we used to say in old money… donkey work, passing range support into the attack and effective shooting . Fucking marvellous 🤩

Who?! Tonality?? 😀

Is it him off Strictly’s brother? 🤔

Someone on TMS has just suggested the Aussies might play for a draw from this position

Moeen 🥰

Is the sudden change in the mood music around Maddison coming to SJP down to a shift in emphasis from PIF? are the Saudi clubs more of a priority this summer? Just idle thoughts in a way but 48 hours after PIF give Chelsea a massive boost they’re lashing out another 50 mill on the striker they desperately need and they now have a very good coach. We’ll have to see how it all plays out and to be honest there’s no point whingeing about it. This is where we are and who we’re in bed with…

Are these three stories linked in a way that is to the detriment of NUFC’s transfer plans this summer? What are PIF up to and what is their current priority? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/19/edouard-mendy-kalidou-koulibaly-and-hakim-ziyech-moves-to-saudi-arabia-provide-boost-for-chelsea https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tottenham-newcastle-james-maddison-transfer-8533276.amp https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/nkunku-to-join-chelsea

Aye you’d think so…. Maybe they’ve just looked at Man City and thought “fuck it, if you can’t beat them…”

This would appear to be an expensive summer for Arsenal
