Do you want to store something in my roofless sideless shed. 

Actually I have got these cushions now you mention it...

I mean... by definition it's not leather, correct? Which is the one thing that did amuse me about aforementioned "pizza" establishment; all the vegan substituted/mock ingredients had specific "faux" names ("mozzella", for example), all except the pepperoni which was just straight up pepperoni. I took this as a damning indictment of the meat content of actual pepperoni.

Archer situation is the new can we still loan Januzaj.

I'm hopeful they have improved the career mode

I'll warn you now going in, the big feck up they've made this year which they haven't bothered to patch out is players wanting to leave if you are not hitting all (and I do mean all) of your board objectives (and yes, some of those objectives are still utterly nonsensical e.g. keep 5 consecutive sheets in away league matches). Even your regular starters, as soon as board happiness drops from the top star marker to just the green thumbs up, you'll potentially be staring down the barrel of multiple transfer requests. I've even had new signings hand in one a month after joining the club, and players missing through suspension are treated as if you've dropped them. This could all be worked around, of course, if they'd fixed the now ~5 year ongoing bug whereby as soon as a player hands in a transfer request, there is literally nothing you can do as you are barred from being able to negotiate with them, regardless of if you play them every game from then on and get their happiness back up to full. Absolutely maddening that this is still a thing.

There are mitigations and workarounds, the first is obviously try and hit all your objectives ASAP. I'll have seasons where the first thing I do is sign three random shite Japanese free agents, then immediately release them (the 2 player release cap has finally been lifted at least, now you can fire whoever you want) just to tick off objectives. The big workaround for players handing in transfer requests will require you to keep some money aside until the end of the season, probably between £5m-£10m depending on your squad, as what you'll be doing is waiting to the very last day of the season, navigating to the squad hub (you can't do this directly on the last day as the menu options change, but if you open up emails and switch over to player messages, any of the messages you have in there should have a shortcut button that will take you to the squad hub) and releasing the player/s who've asked to leave. If said player is on a big wage, this might cost a bit, hence the keeping some cash aside until season end. Then proceed to the next campaign and on the first day, you can immediately pick the player straight back up from free agency (if you did this in the same season you'd be blocked from approaching, and if you do it too soon or leave it too long another team will pick them up, hence releasing on the last day of season 1 and re-signing on the first day of season 2). This does have an occasional fringe benefit of counting towards any season 2 objectives where you need to sign a particular type or quality of player.

Oh and there's another new bug whereby if a player picks up a suspension in European competition, until they get to the next European game where that suspension is served, they won't regenerate stamina in league games, regardless of what you do with them or how big a gap it is (and this can last over season end). Truly bonkers.

Have fun!

The most bad-assery ever committed to film.

still think that adidas template is poor, of course it is given its our first year with them, arsenal have gone too blue in the same way that our leaks have too much yellow on them

Fully expect our kit to just be this but C&B colourway.  Financial boon (and getting rid of Fanatics/Castore) aside, I will never understand the clamour for an Adidas kit.

The scouting process in action...

And it's a circular process. 

Like his eye for a player, but he's a basic bitch when it comes to charts, it would seem.  Won't even plump for a Gannt!

I would have thought Monchi's earned the right to be given more than a company potato for filming purposes.

The baseline for all great pun-posts is "will I truly detest myself after posting it?".  If "Yes", then I know it's a winner. 

It's a genius FFP move; we can offset the cost with a...

I asked the fates for a distraction from that game tonight.  They have delivered.  BIG.  The end of this year is going to feckin' bankrupt me. 

You know, hearing him recount how he was shafted at every step, I may have to revisit The Great Warnock Intentional Own-Goal Conspiracy™.

The King of the Cult Roger Corman gone at 98.

That's a sad one for me. Very important figure in cinema.

I love that Galaxy of Terror is both a) one of the myriad post-Alien rip-off movies and b) without it, we wouldn't have Aliens.
