I was going to request a name change based on my favourite mode of transport but unfortunately the newest member stole that thunder.

They're quite nice on buttered toast. Thank you @NalisI didn't want to become a shell of myself.

He's got a few sources. He's got a catchphrase - here we go! He's got an audience. The perfect storm for a social media bod in today's game. He'll flog this particular dead horse until it's unfloggable anymore or the industry rejects him.

Came here to make the exact joke made five times. I have no purpose here.

They / isn't?

I'm so close to giving it up over this kind of shit. This Newcastle vs Tottenham game is just an evidence gathering exercise. It's two teams close to the big six that would benefit from an international franchise model playing a 39th game in all but name. Attendance and income will be pointed at as a justification and these two will look at the future where they're 'in' with the international clubs. It's happening without a proper fans voice. We're sleepwalking into it. Every cut made is a deeper one. Make no mistake - that wasn't a friendly. It was an experiment.

Labour have no plan. Well it's got to be better that his plan to extract as much money out of the population as possible. Get him and his ilk gone

THEY'VE TACKLED INFLATION.

I LOVED how he's suggesting that we vote for the progress that the Conservatives have made. ****ing hell. Read the room.

Who's blasting the New Labour tune

I don't think we'll be in any danger myself but if he were to leave Potter should be high up on the list. McKenna seems to have something about him but I think it would be a) difficult to get him and b) a bit of a risk given our situation.

This cuts both ways. If we go down - and that is probably more likely than not - then he'll look like a manager who got a team promoted from a league which persued them for financial irregularities and made a meal of it. Then whom couldn't manage a difficult situation. At least with Chelsea he won't take a reputation dent. Everyone knows they're a circus.

Problem is that this insanity will go unpunished - in every sense - because they're one of the internationally popular six. More cash awash through them and no real regulation because it keeps the Premier League popular in the right markets. They won't be allowed to fail.

That's true.

That's the thing, though. Great - some clubs have an international fanbase. The clubs don't belong to them, though. They're community assets. It doesn't matter if someone in Botoga loves Man United. They're an English football club representing Manchester. The idea that the English football pyramid has to be uprooted to suit international fans is laughable. If International fans want to watch live football then almost every single country has a football league they can go and watch. It doesn't NEED to be teams from England.

It's not. We've a weird revisionism over this. Firstly - for six years he would have had Vardy at his peak and in front of him. Secondly - he was poor. He wasn't suited to the English game. So many times did I see him try to chip a keeper from 25 yards out because he was used to continental keepers being slightly off-position. Not once did he look suited to the English game. Staying with us would have hampered his development further. People are blinded by the Football Manager-esque Work Permit drama and foreign sounding name. Ultimately, we had our most successful season ever with him on the books and he didn't make an impact. I can't look at that and think 'what a shame Vardy was much, much better'.

Hopefully there's some good come out the Iranian President's demise and the incoming fella de-escalates things?

Not equally. We took a massive chance on Enzo given his abject failure in his previous management. Careers have ended with better. To have his little trumpet giving out about how great he is constantly isn't good. Needs to wind his neck in. And Radio Leicester should be challenging this. Quite why they feel the need to get him on is weird. Which other managers have had as cheerleader that's held in such high esteem?

Well I suppose the very clear implications that without Enzo Leicester would be adrift and that we should be grateful. Let's not let that narrative get any traction. We did him a huge favor. Not the other way round.

He didn't challenge a falsehood and let someone talk the club down. Guillem isn't a big name; he should be expecting to interview the manager and associated staff at the club. Fundamentally, he allowed a mouth piece for an agenda to use the radio. He should have challenged it. He didn't bother. Young or not - he's not operating as a journalist should do.

This is so sad for Tyson. Really lowered himself.

He looks extremely scared.

You know they would cock up any trophy parade.

Fury is shitting himself and his old man is embarrassing the sport. Hopefully Usyk panels him.

Oh gosh - I'm concerned it's broken beyond fixing. We've got a whole generation or two of people who think that formal education isn't really important. That leads to a lack of respect and trust in the educated classes which, in turn, leads to an erosion of their authority. Think COVID and Doctors. I'm not sure how you turn that back around. Once you've got families of people using the rhetoric of teachers being overpaid and underworked there's a total erosion of the profession. These are masters level professionals - they should be paid well and they shouldn't have to graft 25 hours a day to earn some scraps of respect. They've done the due. I think it's a sunken ship.
