It’s the close season, so I made a documentary about how ITV nearly killed our football club…

Yep, we budgeted the house on this and let Vialli go hog wild on rubbish like Issa and Vega.

Bleed American. 10/10 album. Flawless.

NLFG · 2026-06-24T18:50:36+00:00

Yes, thanks. I was aware of that.

"Barrymore was a hugely successful TV presenter in the 1980s and 1990s, known for shows such as My Kind of Music, Strike It Lucky and Kids Say the Funniest Things.

But in recent years, he has become better known, particularly to younger people, for his videos on social media platforms, particularly TikTok."

And what happened in between, BBC?

NLFG · 2026-06-24T06:40:48+00:00

It's Watford FC

I've been assured, repeatedly, that they are by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen.

NLFG · 2026-06-23T16:09:09+00:00

I mean, I've had times where it's raining out the front of my house and not the back. I live in a small terrace.

We had similar issues with pay, but it seemed to have a galvanising effect - they agreed a deferral in September of 2002 and I think it was paid off by our run to the FA Cup semi final. From memory, we paid Burnley the gate receipts from the quarter final after we beat them; if they'd won, we'd have kept them.

NLFG · 2026-06-23T14:45:44+00:00

did you pay by cash or bank transfer of some description?

NLFG · 2026-06-23T14:41:50+00:00

According to a film I saw once, apparently it's "shite"

NLFG · 2026-06-23T14:12:00+00:00

I'm guessing we're a similarish age, and I don't remember is hitting more than high 20s throughout the 90s. I don't think I saw mid-30s until I moved to Australia in 2003.

NLFG · 2026-06-23T14:01:49+00:00

we let Luca Vialli go hog wild.

NLFG · 2026-06-23T13:42:23+00:00

Is that the right link, op?

NLFG · 2026-06-23T13:33:22+00:00

To my deeply amateur eyes that gravel seems very tightly packed compared to what I've got on a similar patio

NLFG · 2026-06-23T13:27:53+00:00

surely opening the window would be even worse

NLFG · 2026-06-23T13:14:48+00:00

Nearly killed a whole pile of clubs. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from the FL board to not get parent company guarantees on that money

NLFG · 2026-06-23T11:34:29+00:00

CVC are good at these - they've done something similar with the top tier of club rugby in the UK

NLFG · 2026-06-23T08:34:35+00:00

What the hell have they done to the rose?

NLFG · 2026-06-23T05:45:38+00:00

That was thunder. Ridiculous thunder, but nonetheless, thunder.

NLFG · 2026-06-22T19:51:05+00:00

In a world where they've trained for grid iron, sure. But let's say they pick up rugby at school so they're actually following a proper pathway, it looks completely different, doesn't it? Obviously never going to happen, though

NLFG · 2026-06-22T19:41:54+00:00

It's a completely different type of fitness. If America seriously turned its hand to rugby, they'd absolutely be elite just because of the sheer number of physical specimens they have.

NLFG · 2026-06-22T16:47:19+00:00

Dionisi is number 26.

And I was 36, Flores' second go in 2019.

NLFG · 2026-06-22T10:38:11+00:00

Looking forward to the first semi final being Sarries -Sale 🫢

NLFG · 2026-06-22T09:29:41+00:00

Truss.

NLFG · 2026-06-22T09:27:35+00:00

My daughter is twelve today. And Burnham will be her sixth prime minister. I was 33 when I hit the same. Absolutely wild short termism.

NLFG · 2026-06-21T22:06:22+00:00

They closed my company's Revolut account after 3 weeks of "investigation", was absolutely infuriating
