well fan for life

I actually quite like it. I'm sound with the home kit being traditional with the design/colours/badges but go nuts on the away one imo. Still holding out for the Dortmund-esque hi-viz.

Got a Sony SRS-XB33 a couple of weeks ago. Water/dust proof, good battery life and it sounds shit hot. Fully recommend.

Cipollini was an absolute carry on tbf. A born entertainer.

Maybe it's just an insurance policy for if we accidentally throw Stevie Hammell's Cursed Amulet about again. We have a serviceable goalkeeper available to us that's out on loan and is having his wages (at least partially) covered. If the curse strikes again we can recall him at short notice I'd assume.

At least he's got a team that will do their best to drag him over these next couple of stages so hopefully he can make it. Pogacar will rag doll the rest of the GC again. Nobody looks like they can get near him now.

There's something fantastic about seeing the rainbow bands in a lead out train It's bloody lovely. The strength of that DQS team is unbelievable but that was like watching peak HTC for a sprint finish there.

That lead out from Deceunick-QuickStep was absolutely bloody sensational. Unbelievable.

@capt_oats keeping an eye on the entire first team's social media:

I don't even think I'm being overly dramatic when I say if we hadn't signed Liam Kelly last season we'd have been relegated. Not even play offs. Just straight down.

To help clear this up I have done some thinking. The only logical explanation is that we are big time.

Am I reading this correctly? QPR are replacing Liam Kelly with Jordan fucking Archer?!

As much as #StrakerDay was an absolute carry on I am definitely happier with this new approach.

Let me preface this whole thing with a I am literally completely uninformed label. If we're bringing in Kelly we won't be paying a big transfer fee because we don't have that money. I would guess there will be some money but maybe a substantial sell on or something. Wouldn't be surprised if he's the highest paid at the club. From the outside I think Liam Kelly wants to play every week. Bigger picture, the Scotland goalkeeper position is...problematic. Gordon, McLaughlin & Marshall aren't getting any younger and there isn't anyone seems a stick on to take over. We know from SOD that playing for Motherwell isn't going to hold him back while Clarke is in charge. I don't think he's a million miles away from a call up if he's playing every week.

My takeaway from these videos is that James Scott turned himself into an absolute unit by the time he left us.

@capt_oats has already covered the main points here but aye. He's got the rough makings of a PLER but looked so completely and utterly devoid of confidence he done bugger all last season. There was a massive heads gone from the usual suspects when he left but honestly I couldn't blame him. It's genuinely life changing money. With the benefit of hindsight, we lucked out getting the development fee for him. His purple patch was the anomaly here, he was hardly pulling up trees on his loans. Wouldn't grudge him getting a move and having another go at it somewhere else.

Sometimes the unity shown on this thread warms my heart. With that in mind: 1. f**k the Sun 2. #announceliam

He burned past about 5 folk before planting the ball into another postcode. Just like the good old days.

The Tory lads boasting about the number of Blue WKDs they can drink truly was a low.

Great work, troops.

Would definitely take Jackson Irvine because he's cool as f**k.

This is something that has been annoying me for a while. Part of me thinks it's because they don't want to say there's one rule for the vaccinated and another for the rest of us. If we're at a point where everyone (who is eligible/willing) has had the double dunt but you still ping people with no symptoms and a full vaccination to lock them in the house for 10 days then you start to question what the f**k the end of this looks like? Got my second dose coming up in a couple of weeks now.
