    International duty

    Don't make 'em like they used to On the day of the games, [Mark] Hughes played for Wales in a 2-0 defeat to Czechoslovakia. Then, rushed out of the changing room to a car with its engine revving. After slaloming through the Czech countryside to the airport, Hughes boarded a private jet...

    Saudi Arabian League

    I said something similar to my mates. Although it might be a hollow gesture, giving a chunk of his Saudi salary to LGBTQ+ charities might at least make it look like he still cared and be a gesture nonetheless.

    Premier League thread

    New TV show where Howard Webb explains on-field and VAR decisions starts this week after it was trialled at the end of last season. Fundamentally a good idea, more transparency etc. I wonder if they'll go that deep into shit decisions like the Onana tackle v Wolves as well. Wednesday 8pm on...

    Things that annoy you

    I was going to that but can't make it anymore. Was meant to be in Cov for a mate's BBQ but it's been cancelled so I'll stay local and take in some North West Counties Premier Division instead.

    Saudi Arabian League

    "Firstly, I’m not a politician..." Supported a cause but seemingly abandoned it for a new career opportunity and large amounts of money? Sounds a lot like a politician to me.

    International breaks, no City for 2 weeks is shit. Good chance to watch some non-league though.

    Fantasy Premier League

    My plan was to bring Romero and Bowen in, and bring Archer off my bench in place of Watkins. Managed to let my brother talk me out of it and bring in 2 players who got me a combined 3 points and leave Archer where he was. Absolutely fuming. I blame myself tbh, I outscore him every season so no...

    Match Thread Watford (h)

    Absolutely topsy turvy game. Was in hospitality (Legends Lounge) for my birthday and it was brilliant. Would obviously have loved a win but that game was something else. We were right behind the own goal which was funny enough but the highlight was my 64-year old mother flicking the v's to the...

    Cashless Society

    Doesn't take away the shot of adrenaline you get when finding money on the floor. Ordered something on Argos for £5, went in to collect it and found a fiver on my way out. Winner. Will add it to the other notes that have been untouched in my wallet for well over a year now.

    Middlesbrough points

    On a similar note, if you forget your ST and ask for a replacement at the ticket office they also give you +10 points automatically but don't take them back. Left my wallet in Manchester over New Year and got extra points for Bristol and Cardiff last season.

    Just got my Lancs renewal through, prices frozen this year. Means the most expensive "Prime" membership is £225 which makes that look even more ludicrous.

    Championship thread 23/24

    Not sure what the respective line ups are like but Stoke giving Rotherham an absolute hiding in the League Cup. Leeds struggling against Salford although very much the better team.

    Do The First Team Players Read This Forum?

    Just takes a while to work out who's likely to be joking, who's not and other idiosyncrasies. Sarcasm doesn't always come across on forums. New people getting worried they needed to print their Wembley tickets out in colour being a prime (and very funny) example.
