The perfect imitation of a dinosaur, wouldn't you say? Perhaps more relevant, a perfect role model offering hope to all the minnows who aspire to greater things but may have resigned themseleve to accept the eternal domination of the PL by the BIG 2,3,4 or 6 or whatever it is now.

I’m off to Athens in October on BUSINESS. Going to be there for week. Anyone been? Anything worth seeing?

Never heard of that beyond the story about forgiveness (after his team got done in the playoff final of course), where did you come across that?

Part of his money laundering was to enable Iran to evade financial sanctions imposed by the UK and others. Yery patriotic, working against the interests of the country he pretends to love.

Possibly although I think it's as much that the club wanted rid of Sugawara due to wages and Tonda not really rating him and wanting a more physical option at RB. Fair play to Matsuki though. I thought he looked a bit lightweight initially but he's developed that part of his game and a decent option and definitely more of a goal threat than Fellows. Will be interesting to see what the club do in terms of contract - he's 23 and just under two years left so I'd be thinking about a new contract if he carries on improving like he has done.

Reform introduces new vetting procedures: "ANYONE applying to be a Reform candidate will be interviewed by the police to be on the safe side. After the arrest of Welsh Reform leader Dan Thomas, and earlier his predecessor Nathan Gill, plus other ongoing investigations, the new process will see nominees voluntarily hand themselves in to the police in the first place. Reform spokesman Jack Browne said: “It seemed silly to go through our own half-arsed screening process to select a candidate then just deselect them when ‘that incident at the fancy dress party’ or whatever comes to light. “The police tend to be more thorough than we are, so it seems sensible for them to give people a once-over first. Under caution, obviously. “To this end we’ve produced a document for candidates to give to the police during questioning to streamline the process, with suggested topics such as ‘Things I said on Facebook’, ‘Things I’ve done driving my car’ and ‘Reasons I’m divorced’. “If they leave the police station without bail conditions they’ll be given a Reform Candidate Certificate stating ‘The police say I haven’t done anything bad yet’ and will be allowed to complete their application.” Browne added: “It’ll get a bit complicated when the candidate is an ex-copper but I’m sure a quick chat with a former colleague at their lodge meeting will suffice.”

Didn't sugawara want to leave because he wouldn't get called up for Japan whilst we are in the Championship. Goes to show, if you're playing well enough it doesn't matter

Very well deserved. Always makes me nervous when our players are put on the world stage. I was very thankful the Larin deal was sorted before the world cup.

Nail on the head this. I imagine the first thing anyone from a legal firm would have said is “Do not admit liability”, Dopey fucking Parsons had other ideas though. If anyone’s head should have rolled over this it was his.

Broken clocks and all that.

They changed the manager then? Thought Sagawara had to leave to play in a top league to keep his Japanese place. Matsuki seems to be getting better with us and such a hard working player - deserved call up.

Outstanding success of the multi-club model.

He's very underrated. Hard working but also got a bit about him. He's not a get you out of your seat player like Scienza is but he's effective can find a pass and a goal threat. Like him a lot, probably starts ahead of Fellows at the moment

Indeed. The backlash against him, and the support for Macklemore and the others, tells you all you need to know about how normal thinking people feel about this issue and the behaviour of Israel.

Sheeran has got himself into a pickle trying not to take sides, but when you start giving in to billionaires instead of standing up for dead kids, you might end up on the wrong side of history. And putting everything else aside, releasing Galway Girl was a fucking war crime on its own.

Underrated player. Works so hard for the team.

Most Bournemouth fans I've ever met were older Saints fans who lived down there - I'm sure now they're in the Premier League (and Europe!) they have attracted a new band of bantz loving helmets wearing black with shit haircuts.

I can! It was Teamtalk. A mate of mine was working for them at the time so he told me about it so looked on there. Shortly after someone at work told me about the old saintsforever site and here i am still posting bollocks and spending far too much time on it 27 or so years later FFS

ha, we had a similar thing when we watched it. My son said, what people used to have phones stuck on the wall? Like it was the most archaic thing he'd ever seen.

I started my career as an apprentice for one of the big 4 retail banks in 1986, and part of our training was how to program punched cards. I distinctly remember people pushing trollies of punched cards up and down the corridor to load up into the mainframe... We did a bit of COBOL too, which was ultra modern at the time One thing that pisses me off is I can't remember the first website I ever visited when using the internet for the first time. You'd have thought such a monumental event would have stuck in my memory banks! I do remember the first time I went "online" though... Home telephone handset inserted awkwardly into two conjoined rubber cups... Et voila... Prestel!

Has been called up for Japan, well deserved.

Indeed. If one mentions the concept of Israeli expansion (greater Israel as some say), it gets shouted down with jibes of anti Semitism. It's nice to see the likes of Macklemore speaking up against Israeli behaviour, and the support he's getting in comparison to the condemnation of Ed Sheeran tells a story about how people are seeing things.
