Mostly David Beckham though

when he said Beckham was one-paced and overrated show me the lie! But still what a horrible pompous boring arsehole.
when Stanley Crouch died the other week my favourite shame the devil and tell the truth obit was: Meh! He was just the Alan Green of Jazz!

"let's not get excited about teams down the bottom" in response to being asked the controversial question of whether Ollie Watkins might turn out to be a good Premier League striker, lovely guy
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Sunday, 4 October 2020 22:19 (three years ago) link
I know Liverpool hardly covered themselves in glory today and at least two of the goals pinged off defenders but Watkins looks like the real deal based on today. Grealish's last goal was tremendous as well.

Well... frankly I can't get to sleep now even though I'm exhausted and have work in the morning. I'm too keyed up by AVFC's win over Liverpool today (7-2?!?! I'd been happy with a 2-2 draw!!!) and a teaser of some news from Duran Duran (because I am nothing if not stereotypical) to sleep, plus I finally got my laptop to work after months of putting off a much-needed repair job on it so I'm happily using said laptop again and ahhhh, I'm just too excited to sleep but I must!

Will anyone ever actually sign Said Benrahma? Envisaging him repeatedly pricing himself further out of anyone's budget with an escalating series of wondergoals
He's been linked with Palace and he'd improve them but that also seems kind of enh

Not sure an 18-year old winger, even a prodigiously talented one, is really what you need right now.

hard to say though what they do
a really good centre-back might be a start though

Fuck a mascot and all that but also fuck any club making a mascot redundant to save money when they're still buying £20-30m players. Like furlough the guy until the fans are back. It'll cost a few thousand a year - less than any first team player gets a week.

Beginning to worry about the total lack of any evidence that Werder Bremen winger Milot Rashica is being teleported to Bodymoor Heath for a medical with a view to becoming part of the most cataclysmically devastating front four in the Western hemisphere

as i've already implied, it's the luiz/mcginn double pivot that really gets me. how did that almost get relegated
― Chip-vill-A (imago), Monday, 5 October 2020 15:27 (three years ago) link
McGinn was badly injured most of the season and wasn't really back to his best til last couple of games this season, Luiz took a long time to settle and figure out how much time he does/doesn't have on the ball at this level - his appearing to figure it out post lockdown was a big contributing factor to us staying up imo
