Whoever made the video chose to overlay a black rat image towards the top of the screen next to the text accompaniment. they 100% knew the significance of the rat imagery. Gary made a massive error in not spotting it. It was clearly not related to anything in the video so you’d have thought lineker (who is experienced in tv and film production ) would have noticed it and done some digging. The verbal term ‘rat’ has no specific anti semitic significance imo. Anyone taking offence would be deliberately choosing to do so. The AS angle is purely the imagery of the rat as used by the nazis in their dehumanising posters etc.

Don’t overdo Gary’s loss all he’s not doing is the World Cup and fa cup 2026.

it seems that we didn’t provide the PL with our championship season 23/24 accounts by end dec 24 as required. I assume we were still using the argument that as a championship club, the PL doesn't have the authority to review our accounts for 23/24 under existing rules. Having reviewed our published accounts for 23/24, the PL seems to have waited for the new rules to be agreed between PL and EFL re jurisdiction crossover and then issued charges. This isn’t a case of retrospective justice - the new rules state that either league can issue charges for breaches in either league. I wonder if the PL have charged us now whilst we’re a PL club to avoid a scenario where the EFL charged us in June and we argued that the breach should have been issued by the PL because the new rules weren’t agreed until April. the breach shouldn’t be too massive but EFL points deductions are often bigger than PL so second guessing isn’t likely to be worthwhile. Seems inconceivable that we won’t receive a deduction next season. Kudos to the board for deciding it was better to avoid one this campaign - hindsight is a wonderful thing but our board doesn’t seem to have foresight either !

But they’ve done what they needed to in Europe to get there - unlike us three years ago. Not their fault that the PL is so uncompetitive at the bottom to allow them to concentrate their resources

If they know someone wants him then they obviously invoke the option. Wouldn’t earn them much as they’d have to pay a loyalty bonus but it will be more than nowt. If I was his agent I’d be pleading with interested parties to keep shtum. The fact that there is noise probably says that no one is interested and his agent is trying to get the extension.

You’re still not getting the gig ric

Not bad we don’t all live in bedsits though - only harpenden fox 😂

The USA stuff is irrelevant being a bit closer to your nearest trading bloc is just basic common sense the anti eu noise is becoming embarrassing from sections of the media. We, the people are living with the inconvenience and cost. Anything that reduces that is sensible.

He’ll be way more vocal on SM next week also, would not be a surprise to see him presenting Al Jazeera World Cup coverage next year - he worked for them a dozen years or so ago.

They didn’t hang onto emery long enough!

Defo been escaping through the ground floor windows of an evening to wan chai !

Only that it related to the situation DT jr is just showing how he’s been brought up. No idea whatsoever that just cos you think something you don’t have to say it. these people have a belief that they’re so important, everything they think is something we want to hear.

Don’t start that one again Bert!

My assumption is that this is not a new diagnosis. someone in his position would surely have been screened regularly ??? of course he could be the type of person who doesn’t do screening cos he’d rather not know and trust in the good lord.

Did he have a scarf on ?

No one will buy Nelson as a first choice PL CB he’s an investment for the future. needs to prove himself at the top level and we know that CB is a position where experience is vital re development. ideally he needs a full championship season in that respect. So even if we had to sell him for psr reasons, I’d say there’s a good chance we could loan him back for the campaign. In that regard would be better for him to go to a rich six type club. A Fulham or Bournemouth would be tempted to keep him around their first team squad.

How can San Marino be allowed to vote for Italy ?

Standard innit nope - won’t be nil

To clarify - I don’t believe verbal abuse ‘rat’ is an issue re anti semitism. We often refer to someone as ‘a bit of a rat’ - I don’t believe that would be taken badly unless someone was absolutely looking to be offended. (Which shouldn’t be your problem - it’s theirs). The imagery of the rat is the issue as that was used in nazi propaganda cartoons and posters. the video that lineker reposted had a rat image on it.

If only they could have played us in consecutive games ……

He’s leaving ?

Competed at bath for a good hour before we succumbed to their strength a couple of questionable calls by us when we could have made the last 20 mins closer bath look certainties to be at twickenham for the final so we need to avoid them before then!

Only if it’s dogso and they decided it wasn’t

Shocking var call its the keeper that sends the ball towards the corner - haaland’s touch isn’t heavy and without the keeper’s intervention it’s a clear goal scoring opportunity

Is that us or Chelsea ??
