Yeah he’s a decent championship player thought someone would have taken him. Wasn’t Aribo on £70k a week something with us? I always thought there was a decent player in there but he only showed it occasionally and his last season here he might as well have not turned up

Overrated.

That's about right sadly Dirk. The Premier league will be terrified to hit them hard because them along with a few other clubs could easily form their own European Super League, or even include some of the Saudi teams with their financial backing. Go to easy it'll make a mockery of the whole thing, go hard then the Premier league could easily implode. This isn't going to end quickly or simply and the repercussions for football in Europe let alone England.

The only thing i do is wear an iwatch and only use that to track my steps and heart rate during workouts. The reason for this is that im following a specific 5 day program in the build up to a couple of crossfit comps i've got coming up, it requires me to not burn myself out every day and keeping an eye on your heart rate and time consistency it's good way to keep it in check but it is only one measure. Most of it is done on feeling, recovery and perceived rate of effort. These fucking idiots that do no exercise, eat and shit and drink loads then get themselves into a frothy mess because their Ora ring showed their VO2 Max has dropped are somewhat missing the point.

The ones who do would say "its my friday" boasting about having a day off tomorrow. Cocks.

The over analysis of peoples health. Smart watches, Ora rings, supplements for everything, sheets under the bed to check your sleep score and then people working themselves into a panic because their resting heart rate has gone up two beats a minute or didnt get enough magnesium today FFS. The only people that benefit from this stuff are the ones who make the product, for everyone else addicted to it its absolutely bonkers that the first thing you do in the morning is check your sleep score and then spend the rest of the day using it to justify why you've been shit at everything.

People who say Happy Friday or similar. Fuck off.

The type of guys that check their sleep score in the morning then decided if they are capable of making it through the day, right?

I for one would love to see a scenario like the Olympic games opening ceremony. Various fan groups walking together, led by the FAB. We could have regional supporters groups, rainbow Saints, Disabled Saints, Muslim Saints, BAME Saints all walking down Goldsmith Avenue in their respective groups with large placards held showing who they represent applauded along by the local Portsmouth fans and return the welcome when they visit us. However with fans acting like neanderthals this dream is a long way from reality. Rather than criticise ask yourself why football is the only sport that needs "bubbles" and why fans groups support them.

these are the other big transfers that summer. At the time i think they said it was because his release clause kicked in that season, but it doesnt make sense a apparently the year before they rejected bids of 120m from other clubs

The Earling Haaland transfer is a strange one. Official fee 51m now saying it could have been up to 180m with Dortmund told not to release the fee and journalists paid to report 51m. How can you just hide those sort of figures?

I just found it weird TBH. Had he been a different sort of kid and we be different sort of parents we might have been off for a diagnose right now so we can blame it on his bad behaviour. As it is we just told him to stop being a dick or you won’t be using your bike on a weekend. Soon put a stop to any knobbish behaviour in school.

That’s a good summary. He was quite credible as the opposition but was an utter drip When he got the gig. I guess it’s easy to fire shots from the outside in but not so easy when it’s you being shot at.

Starmer was a disaster from the start IMO. Came across as a complete wet lettuce with no conviction in anything he said.
