Have they appointed a competent manager yet? Shame.

Is that a Haiku?

Just maxed Grasslands, about to head to Mythril Mines. Hoping lvl 22 is enough for this area.

Toner accident? No wonder Mita went under.

Well as a convicted felon he can't vote for himself now.

They do look nice, but I got one of our Macron kits and the quality was rubbish.

I often think to myself that the main problem with football is not systemic financial corruption, it's throw ins. I for one welcome these vapid, ill conceived changes made by admin staff with access to powerpoint. It's the future.

In part that's because half the midfielders are classed as 'Forwards' for some reason.

Congratulations Olympiakos. I was very impressed with them when they played us. Very well coached, and very good in possession.

In fairness it can take as long to get from London to Birmingham as it can from East London to West London at times. They could visit London and still get to VP. This week I've visited 2 sites in London. One was West at the end of the M40- 2hrs from Shropshire, one was in Barking in the East- 4hrs.

Yes, yes, yes, yes!! King Unai

I'll be honest, although I love watching him play, McGinn's comments after the Liverpool game made me a bit concerned about his attitude. I was expecting him to be effusive after the goals, being a young lad and all, but calling him a nightmare at that point was a bit telling, I reckon. I'd take £40M for him, for sure. That said, Emery wouldn't do anything to destabilise the squad, so whatever action he deems fit is fine by me.

He's won the league, and all it cost was his career.

He's an Aussie though so I'm not sure it counts. Around 60% of their dialogue is Mate, said in various tones to convey different meanings, and 35% is the most creative profanity on the planet. In short, one of the best dialects on earth. When a Blues supporter says 'Mate', it's just a pause while they wait for the monkey in their brain to stop banging cymbals.

Finally took on the Villa Job after years spent building capital at Eastleigh, Blackburn and Celtic. They'd just finished 15th but the squad was easily capable of more. Two days in the job, and 5 of the first team (by some distance the best players in the team) kicked up every fuss possible to leave. Could not be persuaded. Bailey says he has to leave for Champions League, and cannot countenance any other possibility. Then demands to move to Crystal Palace in the Championship. FFS. Ollie 'wanted a fresh challenge'. Vitinha, who in 2026 was our captain and highest value player, went to Man U who had finished 16th. Our Right Back Rosier also wanted Champions League. Fans are furious that I've sold 190M of talent within a week of getting appointed, including all the star players, but I literally had no choice. I love them in real life, but man did I want to give Bailey and Ollie a digital slapping. Luckily I took over in early June.... so. Loads of money, lower prem side, gotta rebuild the heart of my squad. Any suggestions for targets anyone, cos I haven't even appointed any scouts yet, and I need to get cracking?

£60m is what I heard. Again probably BS.

This made me laugh way more than I should have.

Oh man, when San Marino start cracking wise, you know you have got problems.

I heard West Ham were in for him. Don't ask me for sources, it was 'they'. Probably therefore BS, but that's the yibber.

Man U fans. Have become unbearable. I might have to argue with your syntax there.

They'll get runners up in the south east asian Peace Cup next year as well!! Epic times.

Man U fans casually convinced that signing Ollie is a matter of picking up the phone is starting to properly, properly piss me off.

Tbh I'd begrudge either of these teams winning so much as a £10 scratch card. Today was very much a lose-lose for me. Although it does strengthen the argument I made in the Man City thread against Pep winning Manager of the Season.

For sure, it doesn't matter how we fill the position, loan or signing (if the right player is available), but we all know that we need better squad depth. We can't spend half a season compromising our midfield by putting players in that position when it wrecks their game, and they are not all that effective there.
