Let it go.

Pitches are too narrow and shit. Injuries waiting to happen. Officiating is off the railers. Letting a lot of fouls go. Security poor. Really hope the WC isn't like that.

Cucurella vs Palmer.

Argentina as a whole looks incredibly rusty. Far too many asados during the break.

The satire is still great even without Soldier Boy. Yeah they are impersonating far right radical groups and pissed off a lot of people in the process.

First 3 episodes of season 4 are out. Massive void with Soldier Boy gone (greatest television character in the history of television). Still good and I look forward to when they tie in Gen V eventually.

Tbf Naomi Scott could easily pass as Arab.

West Ham don't leave London until November.

Should only play Gallagher against top opposition.

Part of me believes these are the types of clubs RDZ wants to manage. He's been on record saying he doesn't care for winning trophies, he simply likes developing players and making his sides better ala Marcelo Bielsa. I think given Marseille's youth set up and their financial strength compared to Brighton, it makes it a very attractive position for him.

Decent first episode. Anyone else getting fed up with seeing the end credits whilst there is 12 minutes left?

Mandalorian seasons 1-2 and Rogue One for me are absolute gold. Solo was pretty good too but maybe a tier or 2 below. Everything else, just never got into or left disappointed. I'm pretty sure I'd like Andor though. I think a big issue for me is different directors with different perspectives/tones taking charge for each project. I loved the darkness and grit in Rogue One and presumably continued onto Andor. Some star wars projects recently just looks like cosplay and small in scale.

Not even sure that is true considering Disney have been taking massive losses since 2020.

Literally, why waste your time if you knew you weren't going to like it? Do what I do. Don't bother?

Doesn't really have CF qualities. Given the club scouted Sesko and now Duran, they have a profile in mind. Far too many setbacks too unfortunately.

Anything over £30m is well taking the piss. Definitely a signing I could get behind for the right price.

Season 2 premier next Sunday.

I know Wolves and Milan are showing genuine interest. The latter we've done some good business with the past few years. Maybe Everton are rushing to get this finalised? £30m is excessive for a player with so many set backs.

Just realised Pope is 32 fucking hell

Says it all really when Villa have qualified for The Champions League yet they still have to make one big money sale this summer.

Isn't Trafford #1 potential? Seems pointless if he's just going to Newcastle to be Pope's understudy.

Isn't qualification alone like 50m? A potential 80-100m prize pool for winning the competition/coefficient ranking makes Real's stance strange.

Good stuff. Enough of just stadium banning. Set the precedent as harsh jail time punishment. That is how you work to get rid of this.
