I think that’s not entirely fair. We spent £12m last summer on Chiesa and that was it. Our revenue stream is really high and we have a new stand bringing in income too so we do have money to spend

Also we have the Coutinho money so these are all basically free transfers 😀

Death, taxes and When Saturday Comes refusing to ask MK Dons any questions in their pre season preview

Must be mad being a 20 year old MK Dons fan and having everyone hate you because of how their team came into existence before they were even born

We seem to have forgotten about central defence though. VVD, Konate and a rarely fit Gomez isn’t enough. I’d be ok missing out on Isak if it meant getting cover there

To celebrate, we're bringing you a month of content alongside some incredible guests and writers.

On top of our usual 4 podcasts this month, we're also publishing 2 articles a week until September, starting tonight.

Where would the trans debate be now in the UK if Glinner hadn’t written that IT Crowd episode?

Phew, I survived and not blocked! Really enjoyed that thanks and may have accidentally drawn attention to myself in the office as I burst out laughing at the thought of Eileen Drewery being the Red Woman from GOT 😀

That’s a shame, I did make a boooo noise in my head as I read it 😀

I have the same paternal feelings towards Luis Diaz being treated well by Bayern as my then girlfriend’s dad did towards me when I went to uni for the first time

I’m a bit late to the party but the Fin vs History podcast is really well worth a listen

Day one of no Tour de France on free to air tv in this country and it’s still an absolute scandal

Yep, boys in their late teens and early twenties are disgusting creatures best avoided

I used to drive my uni housemates nuts but putting dirty plates under the sofa and only getting them out again next time I was eating 🤢

As someone who used to pod you have my sympathies!

Someone recommended your FB page a while ago on a pod - The History of England pod, which is quite the recommendation as it’s excellent

Yeah, all that effort into getting yourself into that position and nothing for that last bit

Dead easy to criticise from my sofa though. And fun too 😀

Sorry both I just saw what this was about originally. I definitely saw “stop genocide” painted onto the road with the Palestine colours next to it and that had been left alone. I definitely saw something on the side of the road too

The Giro had loads of Palestine flags at the finish line

There was a video the other day I think from an official account of these guys painting over the massive penises that fans had painted into the road. I saw one today too!

They must have been, I don’t get why they didn’t work together at the end. They’re either fucked or didn’t want to help each other out and then lose the stage to the other guy

Jonas not bothering to go for the final two points in the KOM, not for the first time this Tour I’m absolutely befuddled by Visma’s tactics
