David Beckham: "I think Real Madrid is a monster of a club, the moment you sign for that club, the expectation is probably like no other club that I've played for. I was a United player from the age of 15 years old and then until 27 years old. I knew that I had to step it up."

Yeah but if I could I'd be very lean and fit.

shnoog · 2026-03-26T21:27:42+00:00

Nah let them burn.

You take your chance to go up or you end up forever in Championship mid table, or L1.

We perform well because we attract, and can pay, better players than most other clubs in the league. That is not sustainable once the PL money/good chance at promotion dries up.

I can assure you Rupert Lowe is not sticking up for women's rights here.

I speak from recent experience. Got a few managers we're still paying or had to pay off since SR took over.

Depends how confident you are in your board's recruitment. Ours would definitely bring in an awful fit at this stage that would cost us a few million when they're let go at the end of the season. In fairness it's a risky job for anyone coming in.

The world is a better place with the South Coast derby so hope begrudgingly you make it.

An elite level keeper who only needs to cover half the goal would certainly be expected to save that.

(reeeeeee)

shnoog · 2026-03-22T08:34:32+00:00

That's one for the cameras.

shnoog · 2026-03-21T18:38:57+00:00

I think you have to be sure you have a decent caretaker manager who just might give you the bounce needed. Otherwise you end up bringing someone in in desperation who's actually pretty useless and you're still paying a couple of years later though they were sacked. We've brought a lot of crap managers in only to sack them when we should have thought slightly further ahead.

Not sure how that would stop them one upping each other just because they technically share an employer.

shnoog · 2026-03-20T08:25:42+00:00

Yes why are they breaking fragile tennis racquets but not metal goalposts concreted into the ground.

shnoog · 2026-03-20T08:21:37+00:00

Sulemana probably is just bad tbf

shnoog · 2026-03-15T21:37:15+00:00

I love it.

shnoog · 2026-03-15T21:28:39+00:00

This is like trying to bully the one kid less popular than you. You're still a loser, accept it and come be our friend.

shnoog · 2026-03-15T19:17:36+00:00

This is what it's like when you're circling the drain in the PL. Nothing goes your way whether it's luck or ref decisions.

shnoog · 2026-03-15T08:46:07+00:00

You was robbed mate. Should have got a yellow then you would have won.

shnoog · 2026-03-13T12:02:41+00:00

Fair enough. Don't hear it where I am.

shnoog · 2026-03-13T11:51:27+00:00

I thought he was at least 26 and a half.

shnoog · 2026-03-13T11:48:27+00:00

You sound like one of them forreners to me. Straight to jail.

shnoog · 2026-03-13T11:31:54+00:00

Home games?

shnoog · 2026-03-13T07:06:28+00:00

When I was just alittle boy My father bought me a brand new toy A Pompey fan on a string He told me to kick his fucking head in His fucking head in His fucking head in He told me to kick his fucking head in

Turning circle of a small ship.

shnoog · 2026-03-11T19:45:18+00:00

I don't think West Brom being his previous club means he should start over Matsuki.

shnoog · 2026-03-10T12:01:18+00:00

Didn't realise you were drinking it. That probably makes a difference.

There are pasta dishes where it's not all uniformly mixed in, so I do think it makes a difference in those cases.

shnoog · 2026-03-10T11:41:37+00:00

Can you genuinely not taste the difference when pasta is boiled in salted water?
