    Things that annoy you

    If it were any other nationality I’d probably label you a xenophobe, but for once I agree. Had an experience in Lille at a cafe where I ordered in French (ok, like you, not pitch perfect, but passable) and was told in English “I don’t understand”. Laughed through it and ordered in English but it...

    Spending money abroad

    Transfer in . It’s just a standard bank account.

    Spending money abroad

    I use a Chase account. Same theory as Monzo, etc in that you are charged currency conversion at Mastercard’s nominal rate for the day, but also get 1% cash back on all spending. Martin Lewis recognises this as the best account to have for spending abroad. I now use it as my UK account as well.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    What hyperbolic nonsense.

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Even then, for a period you had Carrick and Hargreaves starting together at club level. I’d have made use of that and played Lampard or Gerrard in front. Think there’s a huge benefit of using club partnerships at international level. You could suggest it was a big part of Spain’s dominance as 8...

    Bit like you then.

    binks to sign permanently

    I think you’ll find Kitching’s main issue is his fucking bowl cut. Sort your hair out, man.

    UEFA EURO 2024

    I know late 90s and early 00s football gives you the horn, but a defence containing Gallas and Silvestre is…questionable.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Kind of plays into the point around messaging being incorrect from the get-go.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There’s been a fair few TV debates out the way without having to face scrutiny, hasn’t there.

    Callum O'Hare

    Take this with the pinch of salt it’s intended to be taken with, but if we did move Sheaf on and managed to secure some of the names floated then we could potentially be looking at a very strong and deep squad…

    Callum O'Hare

    If we can keep him as the specialist 10 in the squad and move Palmer on then I’d be keen. Shedding Palmer off the wage bill would probably see us not far off a neutral position across the two.

    Not for me. He was decent but not particularly brilliant on the ball.

    Things that annoy you

    May have already been said (and possibly even by me!) but… Uber drivers are without doubt the most dangerous drivers on the road.

    God it annoys me. Might start a petition to rename it the Registration Window.

    UEFA EURO 2024

    You’re reading this wrong - I’m not overly critical of Southgate. I get why he values defensive solidity above attacking flair. But (and I appreciate I’m being slightly churlish) Man City play with a single pivot and 2 attacking midfielders. We could replicate that setup and have some real fun...

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Absolutely get that the successful teams at international level tend to be defensively solid, but fuck I’d love to see us properly go at a tournament.

    Championship thread 24/25!

    The point of the parachute payments is to essentially protect a club who may have high earners on their wage bill and may not be able to shift. What we’re seeing more and more is clubs coming down and mortgaging against their future parachute payments to give them a warchest to get back up. The...
