I thought they might have moved on to a different social goal for this season. Climate change perhaps or LBGT rights.

Livramento: livrar +‎ -mento = deliverance (extrication from imprisonment) We have a duty to release him from the U23/B-team gaol.

I google imaged all of those. There's something wrong with me. Betty Rubble should be promoted to the "yes" category IMHO.

I do this to literally every woman I set eyes upon. Even cartoon characters (the jury's out on Marge although the cyclops from Futurama would get it).

Reddit claiming to have some streams. We shall see... https://reddt1.soccerstreams.net/event/cardiff-city-southampton-live-stream/667538

Agree. He oozes a lack of enthusiasm, but that might just be his 'style'. I would have thought increasing his passion and work rate would be something a manager would be able to have a good go at. Perhaps Ralph tried but it didn't work out.

Easiest job in the country she's got. Observe what the Government is doing, criticise it, then bring in the same policy with a few tweaks and call it Scottish.

Fair enough, that's more like it. I'd prefer if the media had printed those quotes rather that the silly rhyme that could mean anything.

I followed this story and can't find any evidence that he was anti-vax other than media conjecture. "I got 99 problems but a vax ain't one" isn't proof enough for me.

And they don't even drink shandy.

Garibaldi, but let's keep on topic.

Well spotted!

Hungary poised to call a LGBT referendum. Will be interesting to hear the results of the people there on the proposed questions. I've been to Hungary a few times but I can't say I know much of their opinions on these matters. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/7/21/hungary-announces-referendum-on-controversial-lgbtq-law

True.

Nope. No Lemina, Ings or Vest...

Throw another ball on.

Trouble is, I see us desperately struggling without Ings' goals. I see us struggling anyway TBH. Ok, Ings goes and we get Armstrong in. The chances of Armstrong producing what Ings could is such a big gamble. I know by Ings staying another season (or half of it) we're just kicking the problem down the road but without him I fear for us...

I thought he was decent pre-injury. Contrary to some views I thought he was ok defensively and very direct going forward. No messing about, crosses in.

Perhaps one could argue that if he knows he'll out of contract at the end of the season, he needs to put himself in the shop window and perform well? I wonder if him not signing might ultimately work out ok for us. Ok we won't get any money which is a big loss, but knowing our luck, we'd have signed him up for another few years and he'd end up critically injured after the first.

In fairness, the media have given the subject of tweets and the mural full attention. I think it has a knock-on effect.

Also they have owners with a ton of money to invest, unlike us...

I think he could be a decent CM, I've seen evidence of it on the pitch. If there's a manager out there that can get his mind right and get some consistency out of him, he could prove very useful. Big if though.

Never understood why we have 3 lions. Lions have never been native to England, surely weasels or badgers would be more appropriate? "Three badgers on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming" It works fine!
