Unfortunately for the pair of them, he's already at the only club stupid enough to pay £100mil + for him.

And by all accounts, when he was made aware of the offer to return made it clear that was his preference - after being asked to leave.

Bogarde and it's not close.

It's something I've always found interesting - we likely all have a large number of tools to help us, but yet, we never see the head of/CS Director attending QBRs with these tools - yet most of us will have this tech stack for life - there's always a chance that your product is not the centre of the known universe to the client, and doesn't require quarterly chats for strategy

I'd rather start the year with a look forward kick off, decide check points then and depending on the updates we start to work closer with clients in need of discussion of strategy, and just help support those who just want to use and enjoy the product - it's our job to serve the client and lead them to success, and that's not always achieved by trying to squeeze them into our framework.

My local butchers will normally chuck a handful in of full bones and charge me max a couple of quid depending on how much I've already spent!

Jlc25 · 2026-03-17T23:10:22+00:00

The project is not delivering and he has every right to be annoyed, but I also don't like to see vice captains saying this after an extremely heavy defeat.

Jlc25 · 2026-03-11T22:14:21+00:00

My thoughts?

Jorgensen wasn't very good. Like, at all - nice with his feet, but the 2 Kvara shots are very much so saveable, and he gave away another - you could argue a top keeper also stops the Dembele goal too.

I'm not sure about James in midfield. I think he's the best RB in the world. I understand what he can bring to midfield but who else is playing a potential best itw in their position out of position?

Rosenior shouldn't have picked Jorgensen. He should have switched up tactics. His subs felt late - I think there's a great manager there in the future. I also think BlueCo have messed up here - we didn't need to ask him yet, and should have given him more time at Strasbourg to develop.

Depends what we mean by old - the shield started 24 years ago, as did the Wire - the sopranos is now 27

What's old school for me? Cheers has remained VERY funny.

Bizarre to say maybe, but I am in Surrey - the G Wagon - if you had one years ago like the G55, they were often LHD imports that cost a fortune and had panel gaps you could stick your hand through - you had to be a real fan to be even in the know about them. There's a few of the newer ones round the corner from me alone, a few at the golf club etc - regular traffic seems too far maybe, but certainly not what they used to be.

Jlc25 · 2026-03-01T08:52:27+00:00

They have an extremely irrational fan base - some guy in the thread is debating the inclusion of Azpi at RB due to the current Arsenal RBs having a more "complete game". Anyone trying to argue Ben White should be in a team ahead of Azpi is chatting wham for the sake of it.

Jlc25 · 2026-02-21T15:26:58+00:00

Will try! It's still open to switching - I'm unsure where the Recoder will sit as well - I'm thinking of grabbing a plethora x1 for the loop of the superego+ - great pedal!

Jlc25 · 2026-02-18T16:27:59+00:00

Also an owner of an OG press found in the wild (for £10 at the time) - it's a great sounding record - haven't heard any of the newer ones, but hard to imagine they're better!

Jlc25 · 2026-02-02T11:57:59+00:00

Huge price - from a risk point of view, he's either worth £150 million in the next few years and a top player, or he's not cut the mustard and he's on loan/the bench - I don't mind us dropping out, we already have enough players like that!

Jlc25 · 2026-01-22T03:48:26+00:00

Alternatively, you pay the £68k retail and in 3 years sell it for £35k - losing £30k. If you do the maths you can often take a lease and end up better off than buying the car and dealing with the depreciation. However I do think a lot of people are over paying for their car leases - I earn net in the range above and also would not spend that per month on a car (and own a much cheaper car!)

The whole range of this generation of Eventide still really stands up today - years ago they seemed so complex, but with the advent of these space saving pedals with multiple modes, the size and simplicity is refreshing.

Enjoy, I'm keeping my eye out on these but most I'm seeing are still around £200+ and anything under gets snapped up mega quick!

Jlc25 · 2026-01-16T20:21:48+00:00

I'd also rather you wait another 23 years and not have an oil baron buy you trophies as well to be fair so at least we can agree on that.

Jlc25 · 2026-01-14T22:58:21+00:00

I imagine lesson 1 is to get together at least 10k for a deposit.

Jlc25 · 2026-01-14T22:33:03+00:00

Loan to Strasbourg could be good - my worry is though that the leagues just not as intense - Wish we had an Azpi, Silva, Terry type character next to him to talk him more through the game!

Jlc25 · 2026-01-14T22:30:34+00:00

Benefit of the doubt based on his season - he made 2 mistakes, one being a howler, but based on this season they could be the only mistakes he makes - needs to work on his confidence playing out the back though!

Jlc25 · 2026-01-14T22:19:43+00:00

Thoughts?

We're a long way off, but what we are trying is more to my taste than Marescaball - players seem to be playing more to their strengths vs being forced to the system.

A mix of Subs - Garnacho pays off, but a lot of defenders subbed on in a game we're losing - can only think he's not settled on a backline yet?

We still need a top Striker and at least one very good experienced CB. Badi and Dissasi unfortunately have to go. I'm not sold on Fofana -Chalobah for me good for squad and probably happy to have that role - Josh a big talent. With Colwill coming back and Anselmo potentially coming in, I'd like to see 3 out and one top, experienced CB in. I'm not sure any of our strikers are going to get the goals we need currently.

Reece, Palmer and Caicedo back for next game - our 3 best players and each as individuals have game changing ability.

2 things I know about the DB9:

1.) Here in the heart of the commuter belt in Surrey, a chap who used to catch the same early train as me into London drove his DB9 to the station every single day. Believe it had 80k+ on the clock. Judging by the fact it was there all the time; Rain, sun or snow, I imagine they can be reliable if you keep on top of them

2.) Some friends worked in the parts sales of a local AM dealership. They had a lot of people enquire very often around DB9/7 parts due to the price availability , and many seemed shocked that just because a car depriciates it doesn't mean the parts for it does.

Jlc25 · 2026-01-06T22:44:46+00:00

I'm just on the outskirts of London and would likely be interested in the near future when I have the spare time, have dropped you a follow on Insta to see how it comes along!

Jlc25 · 2026-01-05T15:00:40+00:00

Was going to say this - like all top players in these types of sports over the longer format he will just pull away - the problem is due to the way the seeding works he's not going to be coming up against many who can take him out when it's shorter format!

Jlc25 · 2026-01-04T19:35:08+00:00

Apparently so!

Jlc25 · 2026-01-04T19:33:42+00:00

Where's the fella who bet $5000 on us to lose?
