Networking ahoy.

Small talk 🤢 at the ready.

Best to leave it up to the officials to decide when they get involved and when they don’t.

Keep it nice and random, with application of the rules changing on a game by game, team by team, basis.

Israeli soldiers punished over vandalism of Jesus statue in Lebanon Two soldiers will be removed from combat duty and receive 30 days of military detention, Israel's military says.

That’s where they draw the line is it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yep.

Fair. 🤣

Well that’s going to make signing Lamine Yamal very tricky.

Ignorant, uneducated, dangerous, racist man.

It’s hard not to believe that his number are growing.

I don’t think it’s unusual for these sort of deals to happen. It’s good planning.

Likewise, it’s not unusual for clubs to be forced into signing a player immediately because there is interest from elsewhere.

Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me.

Could be a completely ropey take.

But Baleba is clearly being held back for something. And BHA won’t be driving up his fee by not playing him.

I think it’ll come out that a pre-deal for Baleba was done last summer.

A bit like the Ronaldo to Madrid deal (“would sell them a virus”) was teed up In 2008 for completion in 2009.

I think Brighton have been holding him back in the knowledge that any injury would scupper the deal.

It’s the jacket, for me. 🥰

Everything comes back around. Eventually.

🤣

I hear you.

The nostalgia is almost too much for me to take.

They’ve got me. Again.

People don’t talk about how little I talk about stuff, enough.

Last season was beastly, this season is vastly improved. 😁

Comparison of this season (vs last) after 33 games:

W 16 (10)
D 10 (8)
L 7 (15)
GF 58 (38)
GA 45 (46)
GD 13 (-8)
POS 3 (14)

The first 12 league games of the season returned 5 wins, 4 defeats and 3 draws.

The last 12 have seen 8 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

We deserve to be 2 wins away from securing a return to the Champions League.

I think the move to Chelsea was probably out of spite. It looks very much as though he’ll be on the move again this summer.

His ego turned into a monster.

If he’d have been disciplined correctly when he started leaking team news, and his brother started trash talking on social media, the story may well have been different.

I can’t deny that.

United fans squabbling over who should win the league.

Bin please.

All the way in.

With the minging juice at the bottom.

🤣

Good job we won yesterday.

🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, I know what you mean.

He had tonnes of indiscretions.

He was pushing his luck. Which is (young) human nature when there is no consistent discipline from above.
