    Gutted. I grew up as a Kent fan due to Deadly Derek, Allan Knott, Alan Ealham, Graham Dilley and Bob Woolmer in the late 70s onwards. 

    Sad day.

    Golden era of county cricket.

    Used to love the fact Canterbury had a lime tree in the outfield.

  2. The one thing this weekend has proved to me, is that its pointless trying to predict results!

    If someone had offered me 4 points from Brentford (h) and Arsenal (a), I'd have been all over it like a seagull and a discarded portion of chips.

  3. Article this morning on the BBC about the disappearance of Little Chef's from our roads. They mentioned their "famous" Olympic Brekkie.

    Looking at it, if they'd invested in ramekins, thy might still be trading.

    I would agree with this if it wasnt for the looming PSR issue we clearly have. 

    Champions League qualification (imo) is essential for revenue building, keeping our best players, which then means being able to launch a similiar challenge for top 4 next season. 

    Fail to qualify this year and we will certainly lose 1 if not 2 of our key players, whilst other teams strengthen. 

    It would be devastating not to qualify after the season we've had and would leave so much uncertainty aboit the squad for next year

    Wouldn't we have a PSR problem anyway? Talk of Newcastle having to sell to balance the books. 

    What does it come down to in pounds and pence, the difference between the champions league and the europa league? Genuine question, as i'm not sure? 

    I think most teams needs to sell players and balance books... even Man City (Cole Palmer)

    He’s throwing peanuts to the monkeys. If they’re so committed, then why haven’t they even bought the total shareholding of the Chinese yet. He’s playing them for saps.

    The hedge fund he runs has currently lost a lot of its value due to bad investments (Hertz and the Tesla position). He may talk a good game, but the proof is in the pudding. 

    Let them have their fun, it'll probably all end in tears. I'll be very surprised if the 'Wembley of the Midlands' is ever built. Unless they get outside investors, I can't see where the money is coming from. The value of the hedge fund he manages is less than half of Sawris' personal wealth, and I can't see us throwing money at a new stadium. Football isn't known as a profitable endeavour. Its a money pit. 

    I'm not rattled. 

    Mate.

    We get so many of these on the local fb group.

    I do laugh at the ones where people are kicking off because their takeaway has been delivered to someone else. Imagine opening the door and some bloke hands you a curry or a chinese. 

    “thanks mate”

    It’s my lucky day. Free take-away roulette.

    Someone has taken my Uber Eats order.

    Cheers, son's crying. Nice one. 

    Posting on FB local groups is the preserve of attention seeking 'huns' and karens.
