The Bear

Time zones are fine if they remain constant. It's pissing about working out GMT plus/minus on top of that that's a pain IMO.

Observation at all times is key to be able to anticipate what people might do around you. So many people are just completely oblivious and tunnel visioned on themselves.

Take the manufacturer and club badges off and it looks like cheap, thin, Primark special.

I'm a big fan of Starorpramen. Everywhere that sells the bottles/cans in this country it is brewed in the UK (you have to check the back label to spot it). Everywhere except for Lidl that is, who import the proper Czech stuff. So I always get it from there and its a miles better drink.

They're already in the process of signing their replacements who are all decent players. And for a lot less than they just raised. Freedman is a very good Sporting Director who other clubs have been trying to poach recently. They're better run than both of our clubs unfortunately for us.

Really loud people in pubs. Cackling at full volume, shouting over each other, getting over excited about the slightest bit of humour in the conversation........ Just tone it down you bunch of loudmouthed tossers. We can barely hear each other have a normal conversation at the other side of the room FFS.

What?

Balogun is the exception there. He had a great season at Riems (21 goals in 37 games) and deserved his move. He's not done much at Monaco though.

I just want us to be run like a normal club, not some basket case like Everton who are in real danger of admin thanks to massive debts. We have none of that yet we're being told there's no money in the pot, even though everyone can clearly see the club generating it's own revenue through transfer profits. I think it's clear they'd like to sell. China doesn't want foreign investment in football clubs any more, and this is the result. Protect and inflate the books, whilst spending the minimum amount to stay a PL club, and hope for a buyer.

They can't do that as it'd be in the accounts. What they can do is call back money invested by the owners in terms of loans/equity. But it's pointless doing that as it's harming their own brand and putting it's value at risk. More likely they want a healthy bank balance and cash flow to attract new owners.

Nope. Makes it even more annoying.

That only works until it doesn't and you suddenly get relegated. Then their asset is worth nothing and all the best players have to leave. A few seasons ago we were miles ahead of Villa, but thanks to their spending and recruitment they're now in the CL. We need owners who are willing to take the money we raise and reinvest all of it. Fosun want to buy low and sell high though, with cheap transfer fees. It's a risky strategy as you have to keep finding gems.

I hope that's what it is but we've been here before too many times in recent years.

It's bullshit of course. £200m worth of sales in the last two seasons and they keep gaslighting fans with FFP bullshit. We need a CB and right winger to replace Neto. If we get those I think we can make top 10.

Jeez I don't even live there and I'm getting triggered!

Chelsea could easily have had two penalties IMO. Both of them there was contact and it resulted in the player going over. VAR being very lenient.

£20m for Skipp is absolutely nuts given your financial situation.

We were away at Arsenal and gave a decent account. Way too early to judge us yet.

Taking shithousing to the next level!!

Classic Kilman. We called him Passive Max for a reason. Can't directly blame him but gets in and around the action without actually doing anything.

Slightly annoying as we've been the better team 2nd half. Got to score when you're on top though.

Jeff Linton scores for Newcastle. Earns himself a campachoochoo at HT.

Gabriel bawling in Gillet's face after conceding a foul and isn't booked. This is the same ref who gave Lemina a 2nd yellow for literally jogging towards him a couple of seasons ago. Needs to **** off back to Australia.

Looks like a horse at the Grand National.... Obviously very bad.

Joe Gomez available from Liverpool....
