Was not aware Brewdog had gone tits up and now await the 6 part podcast series on its demise…

It’s a Japanese wrestling organisation that specialised in matches where the ring exploded after 15 minutes…

When the loans and that called in and we’ve missed UCL, the scene of timebombs getting detonated at once is going to be full FMW btw. Been warning people for years in the other place and got a load of abuse of African, Asian and American accounts. I hope I’m wrong but fear I’m right.

If Chelsea spent as much time cracking down on petulance amongst the players as they do trying to antagonise their match going fans into giving up their season tickets, they might be a serious team.

Prem footballers may never need to use public transport (except you Wes, for all our sakes), but they can replicate rush hour platforms at corner kicks every weekend…

So, it’s entirely possible we need a defensive set piece coordinator alongside Bernie Quavers? How very NFL…

Will Barry complete his half-marathon more comfortably than Rob Sanchez manages to play a ball out from the back?

Could have been worse. I’m still calling him Malang Sarr…

Every half decent flat horse and jockey out there as well at the moment. Saw a bomb hit that hotel earlier and they ran racing today 😬

Yep. Rolled over onto my front in the night and the pins dug into me. So try and avoid doing that

Reform have got this, with personalisation, through my letterbox. I have never given them my address details.

In a fair environment, I get a return address or phone number so I can respond to this in person, the second word is off.

For Christs sake, is this how Stan Boardman made his career?

In reality this is every game I watch nowadays. Mute the commentary and listen to something else through my headphones.

As for the quality of pundits and commentators, if I want to hear from an arsehole I’ll fart.

Skinner being as graceful as ever on the final whistle there. Also, Robyn Cowen on TNT Sports means another channel with her β€œroyal death” voice every time Chelsea pass forwards…

Got to the 1400s before the English turned into Scandinavian and I gave up

I know a lot of people think Microsoft Excel is a dreadful piece of software, but I would rate it October 10th.

Real ones don’t have a smudge or a cross because they didn’t go to church, but still don’t eat meat on Ash Wednesday through years of habit πŸ‘€

Wout Faes in the Champions League…

Strong Club World Cup final vibes about Monaco vs PSG right now. That said, Wout Faes in central defence means nothing is guaranteed…

The commentator could correct himself to say he meant Ric Flair. Oh…

Worth a listen for the usual reasons, and as a grumpy Chelsea fan I can point out Ratcliffe trying to hijack the 2022 Chelsea ownership raffle on the basis of being English. His bullshit this week doesn’t shock me in slightest

We know a few who will insist on calling him Jesse Londonderry etc etc
