All my anxiety about whether Haji Wright could play through the middle, or whether 4ATB was sturdy enough has just melted away. We still have Rudoni and Sheaf to return to the squad. I'm drunk on possibility right now. Possibility and Camden Stout.

Love this cliche. There is literally no way the next goal can impact the result of the game!

Went to see the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra last night. Cello player was fucking around during the warmup, just playing random notes, get him off ffs

Why do people do this

Very surprised to learn the poster in question here was Thomas Tuchel

It’s real, I was there on assignment - had a tip-off that Warwick Davis was there and acting erratically but it was a false alarm.

What is the price of entry for imaginary pubs these days?

While I’m happy to share your optimism on Kai Andrews, I’m afraid I have to insist that Craig Bellamy is indeed a mug.
