The Bear

If you stay up at West Brom's expense that'd be fine with me

So pre-season testing is over now. Just watched the end of the session and I particularly enjoyed the practice start procedures with every one lining up on the grid and doing a proper start. Still guessing as certain teams like Mercedes seem to be sandbagging still, but the top two seem to be Mercedes and Ferrari a couple of tenths ahead. Then McLaren and Red Bull complete a very competitive top 4 teams. Racing Bulls, Haas and Alpine seem to be the best of the rest, and then bringing up the rear unfortunately are Williams, dumped in along with a sorry looking Aston Martin, before Audi and Cadillac complete the list.

Gold top was always full fat round our way. Red was semi-skimmed and Silver skimmed I think.

That's been abandoned indefinitely by Fosun. Even though the Steve Bull stand is cramped and has needed re-building for years.

My first question is - "for how long?"

Trump and his cronies must be thinking they can party like it's 1776 with all these threats and trading tariffs to other countries. After all it's the 250th anniversary of Independence in a few months. There are big festivities and celebrations planned across the country. It'd be highly "ironical" if someone used that as an excuse for a mass shooting, or someone had another pop at Trump.

I liked that one he was in with Rebecca DeMornay.

That was all under the command of Jeff Shi, the CEO who recently stepped down. He was fvcking obsessed with esports.

Never heard of him.

Didn't none of them play on Eleanor Rigby too?

He's wrong though isn't he? Of course they're a big club. Just not one of the European elite. They are one of the few teams that have never been relegated (I think), regularly qualify for Europe, and play in one of the best stadiums in the country.

Forest

I used to like the thin rectangular ones that you sliced off a piece then put between two wafers.

4 out of the bottom 5 teams have been managed by Nuno.

Do you have unlimited data and tethering on your mobile contract? That's also a potential route to go.

Has by far the best version of This Charming Man too.

I see Trump has called it the worst half time show ever, and he couldn't understand a word of it. Not surprising when it was a message of togetherness and unity.

Stupid decision for Doherty to put his foot in on Pedro, but it's a soft as shite decision. Loads of times you see them not give stuff in the box for shoves and pulls which is a foul anywhere else on the pitch, yet the slightest touch on a leg or foot inside the box is an automatic foul seemingly.

He wasn't a flop in Brazil though, which is where he's going to play. That's the point.

Not really. He was very successful in the Brazilian league including being in the team of the tournament in the Club World Cup with Fluminense. No surprise another Brazilian club was willing to pay through the nose for him. We made about 50% profit or about £7m. Hardly big money.

Are they talking about the picture or the spelling?
