I lived in Portugal for a year as a kid. Place called Carvoeiro. I was 10 so I don't remember loads about it, but if my memory is right, it was just fucking pools and beaches, interrupted during the week by school. I think my mam just treated it like she was on holiday for a year.

 

Think that would have been the last time I had an escudo in my hand. Usually to buy a Calippo or knock off cassette tapes from the stall in the town centre.

apart from the transfers my other main recollection is the entertainment put on for the kids to give the parents a bit of a break. was a dead canny actually, small complex of little villas and some local young lasses ran a club called the snappy dragons. they'd wander around like the pied piper with a couple of dozen tots following them singing....

 

we're the happy dragons, happy snappy dragons, chicken peri peri, hot hot hot.

Fucking LOVE a proper peri-peri. 

 

The local bar in Carvoeiro was called Smiler's and Ruth Madoc had a house in town so was a regular in there. This was 1986 so she'd have been near the PEAK of her powers at the time. 

 

Used to go there for toasties. Think it was the only place in Portugal with a Breville.

He's become one of the ITKs he looks upon with derision. There'll be a shortage of Aldi peev the day he realises.

This kid is the next Declan Rice.

 

Not in that he's going to be worth £100m but in that if he's half decent at all he's going to dump us and declare for England.

I see West Ham are interested in Fullkrug off Dortmund. He'd be perfect as a different option to Isak if he's thinking of leaving Germany. At 31 he'll either be OK about probably being second choice, or he might insist that he's first choice. West Ham might offer him silly wages though, and with it likely being his last big contact he'd likely go where the money is.

It must be a South Shields/Boldon thing, first CT with Denise Squelch, now gemmill with Ruth Madoc. I'm just waiting for the next person from south of the Tyne to pipe up about having the hots for Su Pollard, tbh.

Most likely a load of shite, but a Spanish paper is saying that we've bid close to 70m for Guler off Madrid. There's almost too many things to mention that would point to this being made up. The first being why would Madrid sell one of the most exciting young attacking mids/RW's in the world, why would the kid leave Madrid to join a club that's currently not even in Europe etc. The only thing that would make it slightly more likely is if Madrid have told him he's still behind Vinicous, Mbappe, Bellingham, and Rodrigo in the front three pecking order for the new season, which is admittedly likely. Maybe he was already disillusioned before Mbappe was signed, despite his decent run at the end of last season. It would be fantasy football in terms of picks for our RW slot if this is even remotely true.

And yet you’d cleave your cock in twain just to shag both her holes at once.
