Seeing as I have the feeling that we’re not the biggest payers in the league and not recalling any reports to the contrary id suggest that we weren’t paying a proportion of their wages...

They were all out on loan last season Dave...

Lejeune Atsu Carroll Saviet Muto Sorensen All left, not one player has been signed...this is fuckin sensational even by Ashley's standards 😅😅😅😅 Tbf none of them featured to much extent last season but the other side of that is there's not a lot of wages saved ..

Warholm beats his own WR by the best part of a second in the 400 hurdles...Benjamin in 2nd broke it too https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/58067231

Yeah he was a class horse but probably just shy of being able to compete individually with Christie/Regis/Campbell etc..

Maybe this is him trying to make the Ashes. Players can’t play 12 months a year, however much loot is on offer these days ...

My mate who lived across the road from us was in 6th year when he was called up to the Scotland commonwealth games training squad when it was held in Edinburgh in 1986. Think he was in the top 3 in the country that year, so he was called up so the coaches could put him through his paces . He didn’t make it, a kid with the magnificent name of Elliot Bunney got a place instead of him , he went on to run for GB in the late 80s/early 90s. My mate played rugby for Scotland under 21s..

Ben Stokes: England all-rounder to miss India Test series and to take 'indefinite break' from all cricket this makes me think there’s a major story about him about to come out...or maybe he just needs a rest?

Paging @Kid Dynamite you're bound to have a chapter mate

That's where the "gang" drink as it were ...well there & the clock, obvs..

Yeah Ronnie could turn a player on the half way line and run towards the penalty area beating others and whack it in from 20 yards..Shearer didn't score many like that, brilliant as he was..Ronnie was the best. Sir Bobby tried to sign Shearer for Barca before they went for Ronnie, who Sir Bob signed for PSV Eindhoven...he made a list of the strikers he'd worked with in his book...these 2, Romario, Lineker, Van Nistelrooy...Shola,Carl Cort etc etc

🙈

The Bodega is the best pub in the city centre iyam...many moons ago I used to think the broken doll was too

Psst... ASM to Everton, pass it on...

So is the suggestion that he'd be moving to a 3 year fixed term contract? Sounds like the run up to a pay off to me, Shepherd did precisely the same to Sir Bobby...

That looks amazing.... funnily enough we worked at the “big hoose” when I was an apprentice. This is the first time I’ve thought about that place since about 1988 We’re Airbnb-ing here in about 5 weeks, just after the kids go back to school https://abnb.me/AsG0lnrciib

PC Bacon seems OK The individual chatting bollocks into the camera should be fuckin euthanised

You’d like to think that Johnson’s 80 seat majority would crumble when they try to get this through Parliament....you’d like to think that this would really fuck with their conscience... I wouldn’t bank on it though... we’re definitely not in fuckin Kansas any more... https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jul/24/wholl-defend-our-right-to-a-free-press-not-the-ex-hack-in-no-10

Booster vaccines are scheduled for vulnerable groups in September. This is a process, not a fait accompli Oh and hats off to the NHS testing team for their quick work, roughly 18.5 hrs to get test results through
