McKenna’s silence is deafening
at 10:35 9 Jun 2025

My goodness this meltdown over imaginaries is bizarre. How do people like you survive day to day with just normal life?

I think I will log off TWTD until August as it's just unusable with all this guff

8xbet - our favourite sponsor, didn't pay us?
at 18:43 6 Jun 2025

It doesn't explicitly state that our relationship with the horrific 8Xbet - a stain on the club in my view - is part of this story, but it seems to be the case. I hope at least it doesn't impact us financially. We should take it as a warning not to get in bed with unethical organisations.

New sponsor to be announced imminently!

Adnams are a far more ethical company in relation to humans, nature and the brewing sector than Greene King. Plus GK tastes garbage.

Undisclosed fee

I presume that's a PSR thing too. To cover debt this accounting year but feed into the next one?

Undisclosed fee
at 21:24 4 Jun 2025

Why would a transfer, especially one like this, be an "undisclosed fee"?

Everybody in the football and finance world knows what the cost is, it's hardly a secret, so what's the purpose of hiding it behind such a silly phrase?

I presume something to do with Chelsea's weird accounting?

Weekly MOTD moan.
at 10:46 4 May 2025

I don't dislike Lineker at all, and think he's a very good presenter. What I am extremely tired of is all the bants between ex players - not a thing can happen with a club they were once at, or with a records table they are on, without it becoming a little opportunity to talk about themselves and make jokes. It's tiresome.

I wonder why one of the fans pushed over and then taunted the ref. Weird way to celebrate.

I am a professional writer, i publish something every day or two, and teach writing at universities. My text is littered with mistakes. Usually a good editor finds them, but i am pretty garbage at spotting them in self-published stories.

I live in London. I don't pay this on food in a week. I don't get all this "London prices", things are only expensive in London if you go to very posh or best basic tourist places.

It really is. And it has secondary impact
For example, I'm director of an arts charity and we've struggled to get any media coverage in the UK.

We have a huge gallery in Wrexham, no UK arts media have mentioned it but Disney TV went to it and recorded there a few weeks ago to potentially include on the programme...

I love Torino, and if moving to Italy I think I'd move there. But the OP is in Milan for work, however senior they are I doubt they can change the location of the trip based on some football club message board vibes.

It's a work trip, the OP says, and he doesn't want anything fancy. I don't think he's asking for daytrips... And, to be honest as someone who visits Italy very regularly, Milan is not the city it was a decade ago, and the Milanese are slowly getting less annoying.
Milan is in no way a dive, it has some of the best art museums and culture in the country, it has incredible architecture all over, and is one of the greenest cities in europe.
You might not like it, cool, many don't. It's not a dive.

I am in Milan every month or two, and will be there in a couple of weeks.

It's a lot more expensive than most Italian cities, and you're less likely to get a good meal in any place you wander in to, but the chances of good, affordable food in a random place are hundreds of times better than anywhere in the UK. So you will be fine.

Use your sniff test and you will be fine - if the menu is laminated, the clientelle are all tourists, you can see the Duomo from the outside plastic tables etc etc it will be bad.

As someone said, the Navigli canal area is good and quite un-Milanese in vibe.

The place I discovered last time I was there a couple of weeks ago was MAG La Pusterla - Caffe con Cucina, a phenomenal negroni bar with very good small plates.

You are staying near the Politecnico, so there will be no shortage of good bars and affordable, non-tourist food there.

Joe Hart's comment about Johnson's yellow card
at 23:55 26 Apr 2025

the FA rulebook says it is a yellow for "pretending to have been fouled". Which he wasn't and Joe Hart says he wasn't doing as well.

Joe Hart's comment about Johnson's yellow card
at 22:58 26 Apr 2025

It made no sense to me.
I understood his commentary around why and how Johnson went down, about preparing for impact and it being "human nature".
But then he said "the ref did well to spot it and it was a yellow"

and i can't marry his first comment with his second. If it's not intentional but human nature, then it wasn't with intent or cheating, so why does he assert that it's a yellow?

Cunha to Man Utd?
at 08:19 23 Apr 2025

The rumour has it that Cunha at £60-70m is their primary rather, and Delap, at significantly less, is second.

And to me that sounds a bizarre HR strategy, especially for a club that needs to watch its finances.

Which contracted players could leave in the summer on top of Delap?
at 16:06 22 Apr 2025

I don't think anybody has mentioned Cajuste.

it's not 100% assured he will leave. I think there was a clause in place that we would buy him if we stayed up, but if he's settled in the area - and I think comfort, trust, working environment are often ignored when it comes to players - he may want to stay and be the main central midfield cog.

He would rip up the Championship I think.
