1 win in 6 is the bottom line when all context is removed and that am suspecting will be the bottom line in Riyadh. Last season was a continuation of the joy of 7 October 2021 and the part season that followed. This season is the real transitional season when what we properly need to move to the next level can be assessed. There’s a chance PiF will want to try to ensure champions league football next season, FFP notwithstanding. Six Bruce era players on the pitch at full time last night

Also this is the squad Man City went into their first champions league season with after finishing top six in both the seasons before they eventually qualified. I counted six Bruce era players on the pitch at the end last night https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-city/kader/verein/281/saison_id/2011

I’ll take that, cheers man

Fuck off “Farage” . We’re out of Europe as you’ve always desired. Hope you’re fuckin happy 😑

Milano in casa

Quite like this…

@Isegrim Was listening to 5live tonight, they had a German journo on called Sebastian Faulk(?) talking about Bayern mostly but he mentioned Serhou Guirassy, apparently hes going to either Man Utd, Dortmund or NUFC… €17.5 mill release clause… he seemed fairly sure the player is coming to the premier league

I’ve learned more about the actual tactics being played out in front of me on the screen from Emma Hayes than maybe any other pundit ever. That’s from about two/three England games I’ve seen her do. Others that explained things simply and clearly were Terry Venables and Jack Charlton when they were on the circuit. The rest are to varying degrees ok to fuckin awful but I’ll quite often turn the sound down if it’s Savage or Ferdinand or Owen. Put some music on that’s not too distracting and make your own fuckin minds up about what’s happening

Love Brian Moore. He’s an even bigger Yorkshire bastard than Wykiki

We did a big upgrade at the Verne Citadel on top of Portland when it was changed from a Cat B prison into an immigration detention centre in 2014. The last few months we were in with the inmates who were a bit of a rum bunch to say the fuckin least. Turned up one morning and weren’t allowed in, there’d been a death. One of them had done another one of them. Then after we’d finished this happened https://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/11877301.echo-investigates-shock-claims-of-detainee-at-portlands-verne-amid-staff-concerns-over-training/ They changed it back to a prison not long after. They’ve got Gary fuckin Glitter in there now 😒

Glory hunters, want to be associated with the glamour games. Didn’t see them at the Baseball Ground in 92 did we?

Looks great that mate

If DM is so crucial (not saying it isn’t but it’s debatable) then Ashhurst and Howe need to have a proper think about it and probably just bring the Harrogate Hacker in just on a loan to begin with. If city want to sell Jan we should maybe go in a different direction. I think they will have a list, HH is on it but he’s not the be all and end all. Am going to completely knee jerk here and say top of the list is a better goalie than Dubravka. The difference Pope made when he came in is equal to the difference his absence in the last two games has been ie fuckin massive

Wonder where all this leaves male commentators? ie those who literally describe what’s happening on the pitch? Shouldn’t they have played too according to this err “criteria” ? 🤔

Not bothered unless De Gea or Ramsdale is with him 👀

“Last surviving megafauna”….. Dave goes all Attenborough on us, he’s probably sat at his iMac now, wearing a safari suit and a Panama hat ☺️

Yeah he was ok wasn’t he? He went to Canada and came back a cunt. A lesson for us all there I think Theres a fairly regular moose shagger on here isn’t there?….meaning there’s a regular poster on TT from fair Canadia, not that he interferes with giant snow bound deer type beasties… think I’ll just leave this here, can’t remember who it is, hope they might not see this..

Men of the cloth too it would seem, including those formerly of this parish

Not travelled, european adventures make lots of league games politically tricky on the home front We’re two hours on the train from Waterloo. So tend to do lots of London games. Was our club Christmas piss up yesterday and had lunch with neighbours today so that’s kept the now semi-permanent Mrs PL happy…got Chelsea, Luton and the mackems lined up so am not going without…

Off out for lunch with the neighbours 😩 I’ll be back later, in the meantime…..

Apparently someone’s faked this but regardless it now enters the realm of right wing gobshite folklore

Shane’s funeral… think there’s something in my eye…
