Ric Flair always has an incredible reason he wasn't invited to something and it's always someone else's fault

Dwayne Johnson and Stephen Merchant Adapting ‘Fighting With My Family’ Into Stage Musical The 2019 film, starring Florence Pugh as WWE superstar Paige, feels "exceptionally well-suited to the stage," said Johnson.

I'm sorry what

“Yee-haw! Bah gawd! It says here this guy has a proven track record of working in challenging environments and knows about alternative medicine. Surely that’ll help Reece with his persistent injuries, get him back on God’s green grass, and stop him snacking while out injured?”

*looks at camera*

Here you go lads, I’ve even set my own objectives and KPIs for the next 12 months…

Suspect he was also hamstrung by ownership pulling up a PowerPoint of Contract Termination Era Arteta and saying ‘under no circumstances, regardless of how much you wanna show bite, can you do anything to tank the value of our investm…er…I mean players. Employees. People. ’

linkedin post for sacking a linkedin manager feels perfectly apt.

Cesc losing a 2 goal lead in a cup semi 2nd leg 2nd half, plus that nonsense from set-pieces the other week, on top of catching John Terry with strays in that Guardian article a few months ago, should hopefully mean he isn’t put in a position where he has a decision to make.

The first question in the interview will be ‘so, how do you plan to stop making this the case’ and then Vinai clicks the clicker and The Kesh Tweet comes up on the big screen in HD.

I think Liam Rosenior might go down as one of the funniest managers in history. We will miss him.

Up there with that mentalist at Southampton who started banging on about religion in response to a question about his tactics

Said to someone on The Old Place when these moves happened that £50m apiece for Stones & Sterling would look an absolute bargain in a decade’s time. Based on what they were probably gonna win, and how prices were heading, even back then, for far worse players than them.

Miss me with 'actually, it's pronounced Jha-Quar' or whatever.

His name is Gabe Jackass.

Taken a step back from the NFL draft beyond the first round and some of the skill position lads who'll go later on, so today was the first time I learned of a linebacker named Gabe Jacas.

I wish the lad all the best and eagerly await the Johnny Knoxville content whenever he does something.

Put your Job Description through Copilot and ask it to generate objectives for your next 12 months. Then after you get a response, thank it/them and ask to make it SMART.

Then you’re 90% of the way there and just need to remove all ‘— long dashes —‘ put in for no good reason and sense check it.

The Chelsea situation has the potential to get even funnier when you realise who the Strasbourg manager, and presumably next in line, is.

He'll approach the board with a PowerPoint detailing the physical drop-off of lads who played in last summer's Disney World Championship, which will hopefully buy him the summer window, another £400m to throw at rubbish, and a stay of execution ahead of an October sacking.

This is very much a deserved dig at Arsenal, but not the only guilty party. Burnley, Bournemouth, West Ham, Villa, anyone associated with Serie A, also very guilty of being idiots when buying from Chelsea over the past few years.

Be lovely if clubs decide to not bail Chelsea out of a jam this summer by paying inflated prices for their mediocre players on infinity contracts. With the Saudi bubble close to bursting due to geopolitical events, they have no other exit strategy than selling to themselves or fleecing idiots.

In fact, the only one on that agency's list I could see them signing is Jack Hinshelwood for £60m.

Todd Bundy also still thinks it's the 2010s and signing a Bebe is a handcuff to landing a good lad. Nope. Game done changed. Signing Bob Sanchez and Delap's large adult son isn't gonna get him any closer to MGW, Anderson, Fermin Lopez, Marmoush etc www.transfermarkt.com/caa-stellar/...

Haha. Stuff we inherently know, but still: no PSG attacker ranks among the top 1,000 players in league minutes across Europe's top five leagues this season. The leader is Barcola with 1,395. Which is 16 starts, five of them completed.

Deep recruitment. And other things...

I know all the context, but it's still wild to see it typed out:

Nuno Mendes averages 8.8 league full-90s a season for PSG.

Across 5 seasons at PSG, he has finished fewer total games than Ben White did in one year for Leeds

One of my feelings is that top coaches have hacked the ideal role for FBs as the all-action, perpetually free man. But the physical demands are unsustainable. So you need a superhuman athlete to defy gravity, or PSG's luxury of playing them ~20x a year in league, or triples.

Y’know when you take your dog to the vet, receive bad news, but get One Last Day with the hound, before taking them back for the inevitable?

Now imagine the league was done after Wolves, Dowman day was the juicy fuck off steak and seaside walk, now this is the bit where Arsenal go back to the vet.

I doubt we’d be so lucky. We encountered a global death plague in 2020, but they still found a way to restart the season so Liverpool could lift the trophy

Awful result for West Ham. They now need 2 wins and a draw to hit 40 points from their remaining games.

Other than a Leeds side who’ll be on the beach by then, I reckon their next best chance of a win is against us.

Everton, Brentford, bizarrely Newcastle, still have a puncher’s chance at Europe

We could have gotten away with drawing a low energy fine margins game against one of Liverpool, Forest, Brentford, Wolves. Certainly not all four.

We could have also even gotten away with one ‘shit happens’ loss vs United, Bournemouth, City, but absolutely not all three.

That’s 100% a foul from Wardrobe Jeff Lerma, but they’re never overturning that for a pen.

VAR is little more than the PGMOL’s equivalent of the Met Police’s internal affairs department. Will do whatever they can to try to absolve their colleagues. Bent bastards.
