I’m glad we got Xavi & if the MGW deal hadn’t fallen through we wouldn’t have done. Just think he’s halfway to collecting a Europa League trophy with ‘Slave’ written on the side of his face. Like Prince at The Brits.

MGW must be the most under motivated player there is at the moment though? I really think he desperately wanted to come to Spurs but many forces conspired against him.

Ha ha! Hi John, met you at couple of times at conference. That’s a great story! Hope you’re well!

I work for hmv & we had a conference at the Custard Factory in Birmingham many years ago. Madness were the surprise band. The 11 year old in me rose right to the surface. I loved them so much then. Suggs was on the train back to New Street after the gig. Was happy to speak to people. Top bloke.

Maybe I’ll check it out.

Desperately searching for a player with the surname ‘Fade’. Just so so can hear ‘Ah Fade to Gray’ on the commentary.

Have they really got a player called Cob on?

Hopefully, a celebratory plane will fly over the stadium, a parachute display troop will land on the pitch all with rainbow parachutes.

If he’s injured Porro!

High Acceptance & Tolerance: The Czech Republic is known as one of the most gay-friendly countries in Central Europe, with a largely secular and indifferent-to-apathetic public that generally accepts LGBTQ+.

Yeah saw that. Just wondered what the ‘safety concerns’ would be? The Czechs seem to be a bit more progressive than many of their neighbours in this respect……

Apparently Slavia asked for the Pride flag to removed before kick off due to ‘safety concerns’. Anyone know anymore about this?

So rare that someone so enormously talented is that humble & seemingly unselfish. Everyone who encounters him can’t say enough good things about him.

I think Son might be my favourite person who ever lived.

Are you being sarcastic?

There was more than a hint of sarcasm in my reply. 😉

Sorry to hear this Peter, far from me to contradict the usual sound advice of Jason. As a member of These Are End Times we do not recommended listening whilst already sullen. This may lead to further depression. In this instance I recommend Steps or maybe S Club 7.

Hope you & the family have a great Xmas Peter. Great to see you again.

I remember going out on Xmas Eve in my late 20s & drinking nothing but Vodka & Redbull. Didn’t get a wink of sleep that night finally, gingerly emerged from my pit, after much duress at about 7:30 Xmas day evening. White as a sheet, shivering in the corner!

The more established ones definitely do this. I never have this issue with Guardian Football Weekly for instance.

Exactly that. The issue is it’s then too quiet. A lot of pods have a little chime before the ads start that gives me a chance to hit the skip button. If my tinnitus is going to get worse then I’d like it to be via listening to the music I love too loud! Not an advert for some betting firm.

Hope you all pull out before Xmas!

I’m feeling pretty crappy too. Sore throat etc. Son is currently laid up with flu. Takes a lot to floor him but floored he is!
