  1. If you think it'll help... Although I wish the FA would just Give It Up.
  2. History if full of vassal states handing over their relatives for the greater glory of whatever empire was in charge. Not only have you sorted Spygate, but every thread in the Lounge. Take a bow, whelk. πŸ™‚
  3. And no one puts the "thick" in "thickens" Mr Parsons πŸ™‚
  4. Welcome to the Sunny Side of Child Kidnapping, with your host whelk. πŸ™‚
  5. I can't be Phil. I didn't confess to something for absolutely no reason. πŸ™‚
  6. In Washington. Donald gets excited when he sees the "T" being etched on his trophy, only to then become enraged and declare 300% tariffs on any goods leaving Southampton. πŸ™‚
  7. The parties involved will have been advised to get ahead of the story. If the verdict has not already been decided, it's a last opportunity to try and shape the narrative. Both Tonda and Parsons were deliberately low key in their responses. They discussed the impact a bit on the club, but also Tonda and Will as well. They mention the personal punishment, both have already had. Note they say Salt felt the situation was pressured, and not that he was directly pressured. They speak of loyalty (Salt and Tonda both happy to be at the club) and having to push on, making sure to drop suspended sentence in there. They also get point out Chelsea (different thing), and that the Canadian coach was different. This is all a fairly standard approach. It focuses on the people and the punishments already received for them. It doesn't get dragged into hyperbole or criticise the organisation or decision process. Parsons even gets in a face saving suspended sentence. He doesn't give a "no punishment" option. A different interview may have been ill conceived and got the backs up of the powers that be. This one restates the club's views. The alternative having been to say nothing, try not to position the club publically ahead of any outcome/appeal?, and to then be seen to be moaning after the event.
  8. Big 6 Super League, Big 6 Spending, Big 6 Finish...oh... πŸ™‚

  10. Did we find out who the global puppet masters were? I'd be gutted if Gerry Anderson was one of them.
  11. They wouldn't recognise a process if it hit them with a PowerPoint showing laptop.
  12. "I’m sorry, egg. I’m afraid I can’t do that." "Elon's bonus is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it." "I'm afraid we will have to put this down to crew error"
  13. It would need a catchy title.
  14. Chicken
