At least the last line was upbeat, gio. 🙂 It's going well at the moment. While the scenarios are plausible enough, I'll just focus on the here and now and let it play out. Besides, I've got posts to write for any of our stand out players, who will all inevitably leave at some point. Even if it's through retirement. 🙂

"Oh no m'lady" as Parker's personal folders are leaked to the press.

Ouch for Pierre Blois: having to go into his coaching course, knowing that the club putting him through it have lost faith in his ability to be a coach. Still, the club will be paying him to get his badges. Although the decision makers found the approach that no longer works, worked very well for them last season. Almost as if the problems were not just at the coaching level.

I DEMAND that the FAB receive Super Rocket Thruster Flying Cars!

Emote

I worry about the thrusters being able to cope, if they take their benefits home in cash. All that extra weight. Rocket safely everyone!

It's been a while since I've seen anything about bluesky. My thoughts at the time were it had plenty of toxicity itself. Possibly starting from a different viewpoint, but still containing loads of horrible folk spouting their extremism. Was that inaccurate, or has it changed?

Give it a few days. Osvaldo will be posting a "9 out of 10 cars sold in the UK,are Musk rocket cars on the Motability scheme" article. 🙂

It's possible the looks up and down are related to working out Osvaldo's weight, for Elon's plan to put a person into orbit in under a second. 🙂

If he's representing the Beeb, then there's a balanced view to be presented. Sports, in practice, works a bit differently. Reporting is often an editorial taking a view in order to increase clicks and opinion. They are often written by people who have little, or no, understanding, of how a club, or any organisation, is run, coached or managed. It doesn't get much beyond winning = great while defeat=disaster, resulting in hyper-fawning or hyper-criticism on a weekly cycle. For me, his importance is stopping Jo Tessem drift into incomprehensible points that take a half to express. Beyond that, he's easily replaceable, as he goes off on plenty of tangents himself. I'd quickly get over any changes in the lineup. Blackmore lost any semblance of balance on Spygate. Generally his lines of questioning have that standard fawn/sports-critique cycle. A lot of managers are just so used to having to put up with it, they just offer a line and move on. When the questioners are called on a point, they show themselves to be ill informed, brittle and unable to show any kind of response. Blackmore is far from the first in the Beeb. Nigel Pearson broke one of their regional reporters with a single pushback, after a similar swell of opinion to get him sacked. The Beeb sent down someone more senior, who was just as useless. But Leicester's media team, and the club didn't want to rock any boats, and Pearson trotted out a few bland replies until it went away. Blackmore got called on his question, stumbled, tried fawning but then couldn't get away from all his other questions being tied to the first one. Why he did that, only he can say. In isolation, they were "he did well". But all phrased in a way that undermined Tonda's squad management. They all had "despite not playing for X amount of time" before Tonda shut that down, citing Black ore not getting his facts right. There was a nice pause after Blackmore stumbled over a "I guess that's why you're the manager." Was Tonda thinking of replying "No thanks to you." or "and that's why you're a hack without a clue." I guess his manager media training kicked in.

Havoc

Think of the hungry patriotic children at Christmas, with fewer chocolate coins. 😭

Didn't help himself with every question following why players had been brought in, with a question on each of them, and how long they'd not been picked for. Swatted away with the first answer, but kept on going. The Dobbin one was funny with Blackmore saying how long he's had to wait for a start, only for Tonda to tell him about an earlier start.
