Very much is welfare.

We paid him to do fuck all for a good two years then he exploits a legal loophole to get out of signing a contract extension. Why should I be concerned if he gets injured?

That was a great call and could make such a difference in all leagues. How Almiron could complain afterwards is beyond me.

Classing diving as mistaken identity is an interesting interpretation. I'm in favour of that if it stops blatant diving.

Poch has definitely put together a good soccerball team. Go Team America.

Thanks Alex. Does he get a testimonial or is that something that doesn't happen anymore?

USA been superb so far. Could easily be up by 5 or 6.

USA looking good. Poch looks like he enjoys the portion sizes in the USA.

And again. Balogun > Downs

But now he scores. Arsenal could do with someone like him...

Didn't expect to be watching George Lucas eat a donut live on TV at 2:29am. Not sure I'm actually awake.

Balogun goal disallowed...

Another similarity with Forster unfortunately was the impression that for long periods he was content to sit on the bench pocketing a massive wage rather than seek out regular Football. Thought it was a mistake to extend his contract a couple of seasons back. Still, ten years service is a good stretch; seemed like an ok bloke and did well in the play offs to help clinch promotion under Martin.

USA look annoyingly good. Their cocky fans have been doing my head in during the build up to the tournament. Even with average players, Poch can get a good unit going. Atmosphere is fucking shocking though.

All the best! You are better than Baz

Anyone bar me watching at this ungodly hour? USA actually look decent so far but against a poor Paraguay who just scored an own goal. Shame Damion Downs didn't get picked - a goal or two in this tournament and he may have been more sought after. "A goal or two" Hahahaha that's funny.

At least this means I don't have to "look out for the Scotland world up results" 🤮

Yes he did well the second half of last season, but lets not forget that he missed nearly 2 and a half seasons with bad injuries. Probably a blessing in disguise that he hasn't taken us up on the extension offer. It frees us up to bring in a new striker and hopefully Spors can identify strike gold again (yes I know Downes was a disaster but hes done well with Scienza, Jander, Larin and Peretz). Going into next season with a new striker, Larin and Archer, supported in attack by the likes of Scienza 🤞🏼, Azaz, Matsuki etc is a Championship promotion team on paper.

I was respecting the pragmatism on both sides earlier and I try to avoid counting my chickens before they've hatched ever since Lallana's pantomime act, but now I've had a few hours to stew over Stew, we spent 10M on him in 2024 and in that time we've missed out on automatic promotion twice and got humiliated in the prem. For most of that time, for all his ability he was looking like a player on the verge of retirement due to injury, a genuine passenger in our squad. Yes I know we took the risk and it's not exactly his own fault he got injured. As an interesting comparison, David Connolly who I thought was a similar kind of permanently-injured player achieved nearly 1500 mins in his Championship promotion season, compared with Ross Stewart who barely managed 1000 this season. Tonda was very careful not to overplay him and Ross got rewarded with a call-up to Scotland as a result. I'll always look back at that opening goal against Arsenal with fondness, but if he rocks up at one of our rivals, I will be frothing at the mouth, baying for blood and looking at hiring a hitman on the dark web.

I trump you with a double bubble announcement. A new Argentinean signing and unveiling of the new kit. https://ibb.co/nq68pH7s

Awesome. Or as my son would say 'sick' Bree is such a solid professional, reminds me of Steven Davis. After all that shit over spy gate, I'm really looking forward to next season. Get behind the team and fuck everyone else.

Imagine thinking it was real.

"Have you beaten Man City?"

So many football fans are such sad individuals
