I guess all the other French politicians just embezzle from their own country. Quick search... https://www.eurostartentreprises.com/en/business-advice/presidential-scandals-and-corruption-in-france None of them a great loss.

Which are exactly the attributes SR are looking for. #leftfield #breakthemould

Ah, there it is. Lighthouse mentioned Jamie White as a promising teenager who ended up at Totton. MLG got very defensive when I remembered the FM thread being posted the other day, and pointed out that White was a "youngster to watch" on it. I couldn't find the FM link, so good to see it back. I note MLG promotes our youngsters to watch at the top of that thread with "Want a team with great youngsters you can bring through?"

If the target is known to be the best in their league, it would undermine the SR mantra of unearthing players as cheaply as possible to sell on for as much as possible. Mind you, it depends on how far down the leagues they are going to get the best in class. Martin was looking at 70 year olds playing walking football as targets. Our next manager might have similar requirements. They absolutely will. Showing that we're every bit a successful selling club, regardless of league position, is one of SR's cornerstones. If only those other minor things, like results, could go so well.

Sorry to hear trousers is down. I hope you feel better soon @trousers

Us, the season after next? 🙂

Where SR often forget to change "position required" from Left Back. 🙂

If we can maintain that gap, we'll have improved on last season when Leicester were 10 points, and Ipswich 9 points better! 🙂 Now, could you stand on the end of that straw to make it easier for me to clutch it, please? 😑

Good news that, in response to Lighthouse mentioning "Jamie White was a promising teenager, thrown into a Championship team, struggled and ended up playing for Totton," you agree that my comment of "one of MLG's youngsters to watch in our FM2009 squad, as mentioned a day or so back," was completely accurate. Also good news for the protection of our nation, that your Defensiveness Shield is only a single button click away. 🙂

One of MLG's youngsters to watch in our FM2009 squad, as mentioned a day or so back.

Until he becomes a left back who can reluctantly be told to play in the middle of defence, it's not going to be an exact like for like comparison. That he can put the ball in the net, has a mind of his own and would feel no need to play for under the market rate for his abilities, then no. 🙂

He'd just seen a midfielder he needed to buy, and had to rush off. Or he spotted a brown envelope on the floor and had to ... tidy it away as he's a very environmentally conscious person.

Sharp

Somehow, I just knew the thread would go this way. 🙂

Saints fans of the '80s often wondered why they'd be looking into the flames of the various explosions in the show, and see the club badge beside something called Sport Republic.

We should have seen Megalomania not working out really. 🙂

Corruption

He'd be back to our 6 yard line, because that would be his job as a centre half. 🙂

Obligatory purchase at the end of it. That, and SAA hanging onto their training room door screaming "Don't send me back! Please, not there!"

Oh no, is there another one?

Well, at least SR put on a light show. That's often been their best contribution. 🙂

Orleans and Dijon drawing and Le Mans losing to Nancy rubs in what a missed opportunity tonight was.

The irony of Stewart doing that unscathed, and the rest of us picking up injuries from fainting. 🙂

I think many of us are equally distraught at there not being more Rasmus' in the world. But if every club had one, we'd not have the unique vision that's led SR to where they are today.

Perhaps, like his view of some child abuse offences, it's "relatively trivial" and that the Hamas atrocities were "not the biggest crimes in the world." Mind you, this is the guy who told us the hostages were safer with Hamas. I thought of that when I saw footage of some of the releases. The baying crowds, obviously turning out to say goodbye to their friends. The masks to hide the tears of saying goodbye. And the guns because, although the hostages desperately wanted to stay, Hamas had to practically force them to go. Now we can add that the hostages must have been spending their captivity thinking of all the things it was "preferable" to. Only in SOGWorld.
