  1. It wouldn't even be worth leaving Michael Barrymore's pool to watch this. It's that bad
  2. Recommendations for kingCarr: If you liked Hunter x Hunter, might be worth checking out Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files, it's an old Shounen action series and was written by the same guy who did Hunter X Hunter. Also on Netflix. Also, stick with Evangelion - it hasn't even begun to show its cards at episode 6, there is a lot more to come in that. All time classic and one of my favourites. Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a superb sci fi cyberpunk action show. Only 10 episodes long, and also on Netflix. Chainsaw Man could be a shout as well, based on your list of show you've enjoyed.
  3. Read the thread title, and my brain decided it had to be done to the tune of Fade Away and Radiate by Blondie. Club wants ten quid for a stream I'll pay it in their dreams.... 3 DMs in our team No goals to be seen Lens Away, Saturday Lens Away, Saturday
  4. The expectation has to be a pathetic relegation, because it neatly ties up the 3 year story of the last relegation - a club so badly run, that when faced with the prospect of an FFP points deduction, was so scared of that and the possible ramifications (coud have lead to a relegation battle the following season) that to avoid that outcome, they instead embarked on a course of action that resulted in 1) Failing to replace Schmeichel 2) Refusing to sack Rodgers because it was too expensive 3) Sacking Rodgers anyway, but leaving it far too late 4) Failing to replace Rodgers and leaving things under a hapless set of caretaker managers to fritter away a couple more games 5) Getting Relegated anyway 6) Still failing PSR anyway and getting a future points deduction So the natural conclusion would be to get the points deduction, and get relegated. Because nothing says mismanagement like desperately trying to avoid a points deduction and a possible relegation, and being so incompetent that you end up with the points deduction and 2 relegations instead.
  5. RIP Craig, absolutely a legend and a key man in the team that built this club up to the very pinacle of its best ever season. Will be sorely missed.
  6. Based on the standard arguments we hear in his defence:
  7. You've said this before, so I'll post this again for you to ignore again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics_and_pandemics Covid was the 5th deadliest pandemic in human history, one place below Bubonic Plague. Most of the entries on the list were forms of influenza, including the number one spot, Spanish flu.
  8. It's played at every home game at half time, and as soon as I read this my brain starts autocompleting it. THE LEGENDARY PAD THAI, THE BEST STREET FOOD IN TOWN. Still have a soft spot in my heart for the ad with Vards Skyping his needy Thai friend on the beach using the video screens in the KP. Never fails to make me laugh. "Oh, hello there"
  9. Downloaded Wout Facebook. Now what? It just keeps showing friend requests and old folks posting minions memes
  10. Villareal bringing the royalty free knock off version of My Way by Limp Bizkit on the highlights, classy stuff.
  11. Don't be so hasty, Juventus. What if we were also willing to throw in Bouba Soumare, acclaimed international goalkeeper Danny Ward, and thanks to our partnership with BC games, an exclusive NFT of that shonky looking Thailand version of filbert fox and 13 freshly minted Rudkoins, the brand new digital currency sure to hold it's value for more than 14 seconds.
  12. I'd allow any fake sponsorship you like, but with a max value capped at whatever Man Utd have conned some chumps into paying. So if "fox leisure" want to pay us 90 million a year to make our kits, then that is tickety boo. Alternatively, if the league want to deem what fair value is for sponsorship deals, then whatever they say about us or a small club should cap the amount that Coca-Cola Chester united and pepsipool can actually spend on their squad out of their squilluon pound official logistics/car/face cream/VPN partner deals. 90 million for your kits? Cool. You get to spend 10 million from that. Spend the rest on fixing your leaky roof or on a spiffy new waistcoat for Uncle Bulgaria Radcliffe when he's wombling free about Carrington harassing the minimum wage staff about not home working and why he deserves a free stadium.
  13. Southgate sitting there thinking this is because he only picked 5 defenders instead of 6.
  14. All hail HMS Pissup the League, and all the brave souls who sail upon her.
  15. The KDH transfer negotiations in full: J: Hello, Seagrave 365365? CFC: Hello, I'm phoning from Chelsea Football Holdings to enquire if you wanted to upgrade your PSR point deductings to a lower level of deductings by downgradings your midfieldings? J: Are you the guy who rang the other week about my managerial service providings? CFC: No, that was Chelsea Hotel Holdings, they are a football company. This is Chelsea Football Holdings, we are a hotel company. We are calling to offer you a packagings that only gets you a 10 point deductings for your overspendings on your Boubing Soumarings. J: 10 points? How much do we have to pay to get that? 20 million and 80k a week? CFC: No, is very cheap packagings (for us) and it comes with a free Golding if you are signings before Sunday evening deadlinings J: Free Golding? CFC: Yes, Free Golding. CFC: You pay one Dewsbury Halling in June, and get a 30 million fee minus 4 million fee for the Golding, and a 100k singings on fee and 30k a month wagings and a Fofana future transfer installment late payment forgiveness fee and a future Golding sellback fee of 3 million poundings. You are interesting in signings? J: Yeah, yeah sounds good. Lots of numbers there, sounds like the kind of thing I'd normally go for. Could you send me the paperwork over for that before that deadlinging you mentioned earlier? CFC: Yes, we will be emailings them to the usual addressings we use when we are fleecing you for your best playerings. J: Brill, I'll have a look at that on Monday when I'm back in the office, and I'll send you something on Tuesday, or maybe Wednesday if that guy gets back to me about that used racehorse in the classifieds that was reduced and I have to prioritise that. Ta very much, talk to you soon!
  16. In 3 years time: "Be careful what you wish for, we used to be in League One" "We're in League 2 now!" "Oh."
  17. So your stuff hasn't been taken away to some biffa ball bearing mill to be sorted for recycling - is this the first instance in the thread of the problem being that your gear(s) wasn't ground?
  18. I was going to suggest Project Management as another potential "new career for Ric" shout, makes some use of the accounting background, but your communications skills would get better utilised, it involves lots of communicating, co-ordinating different stuff, working with various team members and customers etc to sort stuff out. Plus you get the satisfaction at the end of projects of actually completing something, which is nice. (Not a PM myself, but have worked with loads of them in my career (automation software projects) over the years) They are used in a wide range of industries as well, so there is a lot of scope for switching to different industries if you've had enough of a gaff after a few years. Now - there are some potential downsides as well. It could be quiet stressful, especially if the projects in question are very large, or anything involving stuff like construction could be a ballache, having to organise all sorts of shit out, which might not be best from a stress/health/lifestyle perspective (might involve a bunch of travel as well, which could be bad when you want to spend more time with the family and have health concerns too. Fortunately, there are much smaller, simpler project management stuff as well - the mob at my work just hang around the office. Point being - a lot of communicating and co-ordinating between different people in a workplace, which could really play to your strengths. To sum up, your skills are useful, don't get too down on yourself mate - especially about a bloody job appraisal (I hate the stupid things, entirely seem like a waste of time. If people aren't getting the job done, there are 364 other days a year they could have done something about it, instead of waiting for one stupid meeting to have a pop at someone who's done a perfectly good job because they couldn't translate a description of what they've done from English into pseudo-bollocks HR corporate nob speak like "impactful change" and "innovation"). Also, everything you've done on the pod has been top tier entertainment, and you and the lads have brought a lot of laughs and smiles to a lot of people over the last 2 years, and it's a genuine highlight of the week for a lot of us. You should be proud of yourself.
  19. They've already announced the final table for next season 1. Man Utd P 38 W 0 D 0 L 38 Goals 0 Goals Against 286 Twitter Followers: A quijillion Sky Sports Tossing them Off: 900 jillion Sponsorships: Uncountable Points: Infinite * Man Utd Awarded Infinite Points Because Leading Red Brand Winning is deemed best for Business by the Premier League 2.

  20. I was thinking about something like this the other day too. If we sold Academy Graduate Player A to another club for 10 million, then bought their Academy Graduate Player B for 10 million, and they both got 5 year contracts: Then both clubs book 10 million profit, -2 million amortisation on the new signing = 8 million profit this year. If you sell them back the other way, for 10 million again in season 2, with another 5 year contract: Remaining book value = -8million + 10million fee = 2 million profit - 2 million amortistion on the returning player = break even. Repeat it back again in season 3, and you'd break even again. If you carried on swapping the 2 players forever, you'd never actually have to make the initial 10 million "spent" Of course, the big 6 clubs who don't need to do this would kick up a might mighty fuss - i.e. Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs. They'd claim it was unfair, and the fee paid didn't represent "fair value" Perhaps someone should remind them that when Liverpool want an Academy Graduate, they normally don't pay at all - they just steal them, then delay the tribunal as long as possible. And when Man Utd need money, they get Adidas to give them 90 million quid a season for wearing a triangle shape on their T-Shirts. Did anybody ever scrutinise those kind of deals to ask if they were fair on everyone else?
  21. Was on my way to a game in the relegation season, and was walking past that Winstones 2nd Hand shop on Narborough Road. Saw a slightly worse for wear looking fella approach the "Free stuff" table outside the store. He picked up a bottle of spirits that was on the table, took a look at it, swore and put it down and walked off. As I went past, I took a look. It said it was Alcohol free Ouzo. Top trolling.
  22. I'm prepared for the most Jon Rudkin/Leicester City situation imaginable - i.e, we sell him for a shit fee, pick up some injury prone duffer the other way in part exchange (on a 5 year deal, grossly inflated wages so we can't bin them off in future until their inevitable 2029 Bosman exit, naturally) and the transfer ends up going through on Monday instead of Sunday, meaning we can't declare it in the 2023-24 accounts and still fail Championship PSR when we get relegated.
  23. **** off England, lets all just follow Georgia instead. More stuff happening in a single game than England's entire tournament, plus their flag has 400% extra free St George's cross compared to ours: All we need is a red felt tip and you can switch our flags into theirs.
  24. Is doing your UEFA licence in Wales the equivalent of picking your driving test centre so you don't have to do the pork pie roundabout? Do it at the FA, and answer the question "You are a goal down in an important tournament game. What do you do?" with anything about subbing your main striker, or not mentioning putting on some extra right backs, and Gareth Southgate automatically appears and says you've failed.
