This whole situation around Bellingham the last few days has made the club look small time and made a mockery of the fans. Months and months of rumblings about him wanting to come to the club, about how Klopp sees him as the crown jewel in the rebuild, how we would be going all out to bring him in the summer. And now what? All of a sudden we realise he is going to cost a lot of money? Joke. And they have the nerve to try and say that the World Cup has increased his value to an unattainable level, fuck off. He was a 100m+ player before that tournament, so I’m not having that being used as an excuse. Regardless of the fact that I didn’t believe he would be signed, this is still a complete failure by both the owners and the recruitment team. You’ve got our players openly flirting with him in the media, ex players building him up and a general “you never know” *wink wink* attitude by all involved at the club. It’s an insult to the fans who have followed it all, the fans who would have been believing that we could start a new chapter with him leading the team. This summer better be revolutionary for the squad because I have never had less faith in our ownership and the recruitment team than I do now. The squad needs numerous QUALITY players, it needs 200m spent on it. These players may come back better next year, but the fact is that we have had years of intense work from most of them so that is always going to be an issue. One of the biggest clubs in the world, top five income, and still our fans let the owners spoon feed the “we can’t compete” bullshit to them. Wake up.

Joint 3rd in Round 5 for @nudge sees her retain a 100% record of podium finishes this season and a 9 point lead over closest challenger @Dan in the season standings. With just 1-2 rounds remaining, we're approaching mathematical confirmation that the only female in the Last Man Standing competition will be crowned as champion for the first time.

I didn't realise it but we have another first timer in the Hall of Fame following the most recent edition. It only took him the best part of five seasons to win a round but welcome to the circle of champions, @DeadLinesman, winner of the 2022-23 Ligue 1 round of Last Man Standing.
