Surely that was a 'chinny reckon' which is usually reserved as a response for when someone was telling a tall story, usually said in a Jimmy Hill voice. The whole tongue in front of bottom teeth and slapping back of hand was another Joey related insult that lives on to this day. My colleague...

I had to describe the derivation of Joey as an insult to 30-something work colleage the other day, and also how the word Spastic only became a pejorative term in British English thanks to Blue Peter in 1981.

All clubs need a 3rd choice keeper, I suppose.

That 30m from an extra 8K seats is a pie-in-the-sky estimate. Brighton had a total of £25m of matchday income in 22/23 from the entire 32K capacity Amex, which was near enough sold out for every home game.

Fully aware that TB had to sell most of his shares, and the transfer restrictions until after this summer. Link between the 2 clubs will still be very strong though given Musio’s relationship with Bloom.

Bloom is still de-facto owner of USG and the recruitment is run on similar intelligence and principles to ours. Conversely, the owner of Massive is - and let’s be fair on him - a f***ing idiot who should be nowhere near football club ownership.

I'd be amazed if someone doesn't trigger the 60m release clause for Olise this summer. His outstanding form in the last few weeks has been timed to perfection.

He literally stated in a speech in 2005 that the collapse of the USSR was ' the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century'. He has hardly been hiding it!

To be fair, stats have been pretty much fundamental to our very successful recruitment strategy over the past few years. I'd probably trust them more than than a bunch of Ipswich fans and their non-sensical banners.

They’ll almost certainly have a plan, but the strategy is to keep their powder dry until an election is actually called.

Labour don’t really need to write and publicise a long manifesto that only needs to say one thing: We are not the Tory party.

1:55 - 2:05 is probably the greatest ARRRRRRRGHHHHHH! In football history. Credit to Burnley on that day. They’d already been promoted and had absolutely nothing to play for, but I watched the last 2-3 mins of their game (switched over after Ulloa had scored) and they defended as if it was...

Because he’s shit.

With the GK position, I don’t think that is the natural progression. A number 2 keeper is very much a back-up member of the squad that a manager would hope to not have to actually use. Steele was an ideal No. 2. Happy to sit on the bench season after season and did a job on the few occasions he...

If he’s not a regular starting player in the Championship, for either of his loan teams, then I’m not sure what he’d offer in the PL. Don’t want to be unduly negative, but he’s 22 in the summer, which is significant as he would take one of the 25 squad places.
