'Tarky would have to have had his arm chopped off' to avoid the pen - Moyes not holding back here.

We are not ready. The pen was a joke imho but we are still short of a fair few players.

Where is his arm supposed to be?

Didn't think it was either. Plus ca change, or something.

It would of course be trivially easy for the press and his political opponents to make this sort of action unthinkable for a mainstream politician, by the simple act of noticing all the violent Neo-Nazis attending these rallies and making Jenrick accountable for that. Alas...

Yeah. The bit where Ruth screams at her parents 'he's dead, I know he is' is visceral because no-one actually knows what happened to him. But she does.

The emphatic 'no show wool' at the end sends me as well, every time.

💬 Ben Seymour: "Walking out onto the pitch with the number nine on my back will mean a lot to me and to my family and it will be a proud moment for sure." | Exeter City F.C. Ben Seymour said it will be ‘a dream come true’ to walk out at St James Park with the number nine shirt on.

This commentator on @officialecfc.bsky.social Sky coverage talking nonsense - keeps calling SJP 'St James's Park' - that's Newcastle, SJP is St James' Park' and said Wareham is first permanent no 9 since Stansfield.

It was Ben Seymour mate.

Following in the footsteps of Alessandro Pistone...

Nice guy Samways becomes No 1 hard man in Spain Vinny Samways, once the nice guy of English football, is desperately trying to save his career after being branded the biggest hatchet man in Spain.

Sidebar, love how Samways changed utterly from being a playmaker in the Premier League to the hardest man in La Liga at Las Palmas.

Never seen a finish like it before or since but 15 year old me was ADAMANT Vinny went for it so who am I* to dispute what my childish self thought at the time.

*I'm the same person. Just less functional.

Glad it wasn't worse mate!

Bad?

Photo of Rookwood's living room and a TV showing Boston United versus Leeds United in the National League Cup. And a pair of reduced Belgian buns.

Now you're talking. Boston United vs Leeds U21 in National League Cup. 3-0 Boston now, YouTube, reduced Belgian buns, lads I can legitimately* call 'son'.

Football is BACK.

*not in the actual parental sense

I felt for the Academy coach who was getting his moment of glory and wasn't even announced because Rossie didn't know who he was. Rossie made a mess of Southampton as well. Not sure why he was brought back.

Jags' celebration was ace.

Sheer class.

From the same commentator (Champion) who said we won the ECWC in 1987. It was 85. We won the league again in 87.

He's just embarrasingly bad at his job and always has been.

Been the better side on the whole.

For Blues following back, Rookers from the nerdboard here, started a new account.

YouTube video by BBC Archive 1984: The FALLOUT From THREADS | Did You See? | Classic TV Review | BBC Archive

Watched it on Saturday after having sworn I'd never watch it again. It's an incredible piece of film-making and agree everyone should see it.

This is worth a watch in terms of the 1984 reaction. Mary Midgely is good.

Mine was doing that until a couple of minutes ago mate, keep trying. Mine got there in the end.

Five years ago, the NBA was set to return — in Orlando.

"Outside, audiences were entertained by competition in isolation. Inside, players and executives battled opponents and the mental challenge of not being able to leave."

I wasn't best pleased when having had an accessible parking space for the past few years and a Blue Base membership I had to go in a ballot this year and didn't get a space, probably like a lot of people. Going to be fun and games working out how to get to the match with my needs tbh.

Yep, one thing people keep saying to me is 'they can't charge that when we're not winning' and they just have no grasp of what randoms will pay for the 'PL experience'. Club is becoming a very different entity to what it was. The price of gambling on competitiveness is losing your soul these days.

TFG are up for changing this it seems. Last few years in particular have been hard on the WSL side too, but it looks TFG keen to add players/resources.

Trying to think. Not many here either.

Larry David a mate of mine IRL now, Pineda Pete gone the game with me, I sorted quite a few for tickets but never met them (digital world we live in). I was 18/19 when rivals very first got going so I suppose we were first generation 'socialised' in that way.

Delusions for players also meet reality in the window and I think we'll get a higher calibre of loan than we have been getting towards the end of it as it shakes out.

Lukaku in 2013 probably the best loan we have ever had, think Everton can realistically aspire to better than we have lately.

Players would deffo be better off playing for us than sitting on the bench for a UCL club but the latter equals more wedge for the agent and every young lad backs himself. They wouldn't be where they are if they didn't.

On a positive note.../3
