Football reporters "you must be delighted with that win" to the winning manager, or on the flipside "you must be disappointed with the result today" if they lost.

Cult hero by the end of the season, then we'll give him an extra 3 years

Before the game he was my most hated player and I wanted him out but after that goal I really like him and I really hope he stays.

Yeah I think people believed we were gonna be playing against a bunch of kids. Still we should be doing better against this lot

I get that our off field situation is nothing like theirs but let's not pretend our summer has been anything better than shite

This commentary is like a BBC fa cup game where the League 2 side are praised for absolutely anything and everything they do

**** this I'm off to support Forest

Ironic

Southampton will still win

Hope the media darlings don't get lauded for simply staying up. The money they're chucking about suddenly they should be top half minimum. Similar to how Coventry post-Gyokeres blew a shit load of money (and still do really) yet when they finish in and around the play offs they're still seen as skint little Cov from League 2

Think you missed the first 10mins

Pity that last season I don't recall there being anyone besides the 3 promoted sides to be obvious relegation candidates but this year you have Brentford taking the risk with Andrews as well as losing a few of their players, now Bournemouth have sold pretty much all of their defence. Still probably back then both to stay up though but annoying that I think it gives the new set of promoted sides a better chance than we had

"Conference League finalists, you'll never sing that" ****ing hell the Fiorentina contingent need to calm down and be reminded that this is just a friendly

The ground effect era hasn't been good for him really, always been hard to tell how much of that is down to Mercedes building tricky cars or himself. Technical rules aren't my forte so I'm not sure how true this is, but I read recently that next year the regulations are pretty much binning off ground affect rather than being an evolution of them, so will be interesting to see how he adapts then. As for today in Q2 he was the usual kind of time off Leclerc and a quarter of a tenth puts him in Q3, yet he's not even 11th or 12th. It was stupendously close. Don't think running him early gave him the best or the track either

Response to this opinion very different to when I posted it in the transfer talk thread

There seemed like barely any overtakes all race, would probably have finished like Russell/Hamilton last year

Great track, but cannot remember the last great race around here. This particularly has been a snooze fest

Turns out they were biased towards Oscar then given how it panned out??? ....

I feel like nobody looked at the link which didn't display a preview....

Huge boost for us, looks like Barry Bannan will miss the opening game https://x.com/secondtierpod/status/1949411221427634469?t=ECtOLMNeTOL1SRyNZQhU9g&s=19

Started watching Frasier, I think it's great

Including Begovic? Not saying we were the only club in for him but he's hardly gonna be coveted is he

It's really not an extreme negative. 38yo free agent, highly doubt money is an issue, highly doubt we have to promote ourselves as a club/project and highly doubt we had to do the usual due diligence to know whether he could do the job we expect of him, which probably includes never stepping on the pitch for us if all things go to plan. Perhaps we've not been in talks for six weeks just because that's when the first links appeared, but even half that and it's still far too long to be dealing with this.

Seriously? there's being repeatedly negative but then there's being irrationally positive. May as well just do all our business in the last week of August then

I'm not normally one of those people at all, and perhaps he had multiple offers on the table, but if we've really been interested in a free agent for six weeks and we've only sealed the deal today (at best) it's not great is it? And not just a free agent but a 38yo whos probably just looking for back-up or even 3rd choice status
