The Kraken

Correct. But every angry man needs a bogeyman to rail against.

Get yourself down there fella. Moral and justified protest, you give it some. I know it’s a binary world, but it’s possible to be annoyed at the system and more the perps at the same time. But that’s a bit too simple I guess.

Surprised you’re not out with the current mob luzzing wheelie bins at the police down St Denys, fella. Put the keyboard down and get out there! Your lot are waiting for you. Tell the ghetto bird to turn the noise in though, while you’re there. It’s getting a bit much now.

it also kind of ignores the quite obvious factor. If there is a harsh rule in place that punishes watching games within 72 hours, it kind of alleviates the need to put up massive fencing everywhere. Clubs should be savvy enough to not do it.

As said, the EFL look after all clubs in the league so they have to make rules that work for all of those that can’t completely secure their premises. Plus, what do you about away teams and them practising a day or so before a game? One of the games we were found out in was Ipswich, a home game for us, Ipswich trained at Eastleigh. Do the EFL enforce that on National League clubs too? Unworkable.

It was crap down that way today. I had to drop family at Bournemouth airport in the early afternoon and it was bumper to bumper from Cadnam for about 20 minutes or so. No accident or anything, just too many cars, and almost all seemed to be heading onwards to the beaches. And yes to the OP, camping is horrendous. Last time I got talked into it was about 10 years ago and I vowed never again. Stupidly expensive on some of the campsites too. Keep the tent, I’ll stay in a B&B thanks.

On the egg front, I don’t think you can’t get a lot better than a simple poached egg on toast. Stick some cured ham or bacon on there, delicious. Just seeing that runny egg pour over everything else, lovely. But if you don’t like something, it’s hard to get around that! Maybe just keep with the omelette thing, try something like a Spanish tortilla and that will accommodate potatoes, all sorts of green veggies, whatever. Eggs 😍

Don’t blame him really. He had a brilliant second half to the season, has played for England, and is still very young for a CB. He also likely expects the manager will soon be gone and who knows how many other players and staff will want out to distance themselves from the club. I’d imagine he’ll have plenty of clubs looking at him.

It was an independent commission, and Saints basically plead guilty to every charge in front of them.

Spors knew nothing about it. Despite it being his team, about whom he said "I’ve built a small team with different people around me with different skillsets; analytics, classical scouting, but also people with different skills who see the same thing from different angles.”

I know he’s no mouthpiece of the club but Michael Owen was on the radio a week or two ago advocating for Liverpool going for Bowen if West Ham go down. Certainly makes some sense.

And nor should you be. You just remember that.

The electorate also historically don’t take too kindly to new leaders being parachuted in without being voted for at a general. Blair and Brown’s deal looked grubby. Truss was a complete and utter head case but nobody apart from a few Tory nutters wanted anything to do with her, Sunak did a poor job and was tainted by all that went before him. I think the visuals of getting Burnham in aren’t good at all.

I know the leaks have no guarantee of accuracy in them anyway, but in addition I haven’t seen anything from the leaks that says we have deliberately sent scouts up to view training specifically within 72 hours of the game. Just that we have sent scouts. Which, it would seem, we are somewhat within bounds to do. The other clubs things is, IMO, something that can only happen further down the line. No way at this stage to say it didn’t happen, but burden of proof much harder to meet.

I have it on good authority that the vast majority of those emojis were placed laughing at you, and not with you 👍
