Evening walk around for the wee lady.

After your host has given himself a nice little winter break, Last Man Standing returns this week, and we're off to Italy. @nudge @6666 @Viva la FCB @Michael @Bluewolf @Dan @CaaC (John) @...Dan @Whiskey @Pyfish @Tommy @DeadLinesman @Stan @Redcanuck @Rick @Rucksackfranzose @Lucas @Storts @N U F C Any first timers welcome as always. Preview - Gameweek One A bit of a challenge ahead for the opening week as Napoli, Fiorentina, Inter and Lazio are taking part in the Supercoppa this weekend leading to a depleted Serie A schedule. However, I've decided to include these two semi-final fixtures as a one-off so everyone has the choice of 8 matches in the opening week (let's face it, based on past evidence, we need the help). Thursday Napoli vs Fiorentina Friday Inter vs Lazio Saturday Roma vs Hellas Verona Udinese vs AC Milan Sunday Frosinone vs Cagliari Empoli vs Monza Salernitana vs Genoa Lecce vs Juventus My pick for Gameweek 1 is Roma. Good luck!

The Athletic piece on Forest is eye watering! This was my favourite bit "There is the story of Omar Richards, who joined from Bayern Munich without anybody realising he had a fractured leg. Somehow, Richards passed a medical he underwent in Greece. He cost £8.5m and, 18 months on, has not played a single minute for the club." " By the time Forest signed Chris Wood and Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle United last January, they knew the numbers contained all sorts of risks. They went ahead and did it anyway. Wood signed on loan with a clause in his contract that triggered a £15m deal, on £100,000 a week, as soon as he was named in the matchday squad three times. Shelvey was given a two-and-a-half-year contract on roughly £75,000 a week and, within St James’ Park, the two transfers created something bordering on amazement. Put bluntly, they could not believe Forest thought it was good business.

Holy shit the interest rate 777s loans to Everton has is a 52.5% interest rate.
