I mean I wish they'd have a day off, but this Brighton team is really good. I'd rather we emulated them going forward, and not the Sky 6.

We're gonna need Leeds here. I am struggling to see us winning this.

Come on, man, not even Brighton want Spurs in Europe.

Well shit.

A message this from Ramsey. We all know who to. Good on you JJ.

Oh man, I'm speechless. COME ON!!!! Also Arsenal. Proper bottle jobs. Thrape teams when their opportunity is gone. Haha.

Dougiiiie you absolute bloody human.

Come on you Villa Boys!! Let's gooooo!

BOUBS!!

Yeah, exactly. I mean Europe would still be nice, mind.

Given the amount of mob money in HK, I'd still say that was quite lenient.

Is it weird that while reading this I imagined Brian Little saying it his calm voice in a post match interview in the late 90's?

I'm not that worried, which is possibly a bad thing I suppose. The way I figure it is that the worst that can happen today is that we get our highest league position in a dogs age.

You've kept me on my toes here. I'll be honest I did not open the thread on Villa vs Brighton expecting risotto porn. Kudos.

Congratulations Marv!

I'm just waiting for Digne to be involved in a bizarre gardening accident. This is gonna be like Bouma all over again isn't it?

The universe just can't let us have nice things, can it.

I had a conversation with Bing AI yesterday, and it swore blind that we were playing Liverpool this weekend. When I told it we were playing Brighton, it told me I was wrong. Even gave me (incorrect) dates. Is AI programmed to believe it is infallible, or has it come to this conclusion by itself?

What the US does is irrelevant, the UK have enough nukes to turn Russia to slag. Not that they would, the guy's an idiot.

That.......doesn't seem entirely wise.

Certainly puts things into perspective. Ethically I don't have a problem with betting on matches he is not directly involved in, or has insider information on, but that clearly wasn't the case here. The counterpoint is that given the number of bets placed, and that a large proportion were on other teams, he wasn't in it solely to cheat the system and use his insider knowledge to profit. He also seems to have a problem with gambling. I guess it's hard to prove motive, and you have to take a hard line on things, but betting on himself aside I'm much more worried about the abuse of influence/kickbacks used by FIFA when awarding world cups, which in my opinion is ethically similar and will never be appropriately punished. In that regard Toney is an easy target. I am disappointed by this issue because it sounds rather tragic, and honestly I really rate Toney as a footballer. It's a shame we won't see him in the PL for a while.

I did get the joke. Did Huygens play for us?

I do not remember that. That's incredible.

Potentially serious consequences.

Not really, I don't think I'd buy them more than once. (Coat etc)
