    Ex Player Watch

    Sign him up (satire) I had the audacity to suggest that rather than sign Waghorn, 33, on £12k per week (over a million over two years) when we hadn’t a pot to spit in we should look at local young players like 6ft9 Hudlin to develop instead. I thought he might be good to train to get on the...

    Players who we signed but never played in the First Team (or played just one game). Go !

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I support Trump over Biden and Harris. I respect Elon Musk far more, the bloke has proved that he knows what he’s doing. Trump is a clown right now for how he’s behaving. There. I’ve said it.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    As a flip / alternative view, I think we will se a rise in folk of all ages moving to France (not Spain where the laws are anti-English towards buyers there atm).

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Unfortunately there are people out there who live chaotic lives / play the system who live up to your characterisation. There are a few on here (about 5) who will refute this absolute reality, but they also believe that everyone of the thousand boat migrants per day are doctors and engineers...

There’s a two month rule: ie, the tenant gets 2 months behind and the landlord...

    Your personal City cult hero

    And Onandi Lowe could have been if the club hadn’t been so weak and woke. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. Signed with a record domestically and internationally that was top draw. Played. Scored. Got arrested. Got dropped. I get that if he had been found guilty he should be sacked. Before any...

    Your personal City cult hero

    Gotta be Doyle, surely? Had a stint here, came back, dragged us back from the brink by the bootstraps, wound up opponents, wound up team-mates (lol, first spell) - cult hero in my opinion.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    A solution for the housing market is probably a government backed housing bank. This will seriously annoy the UK big banks hence why it hasn’t been done. Essentially, people borrow from the state (don’t fall into the trap that thinking the state is some detached institution, it’s the national...

    What I do admit, is that there are people out there who macaroni their pants at the a ruling of an obscure court. These people have zero clue about how the court system in the US operates, economics, or (judging by their posts) anything at all really.

    Ben Wilson and Jamie Allen eating kebabs in the Algarve
