And no Osimhen. I swear to god. I cannot fathom why this club cannot figure out the striker position to save their lives. It’s been one of our two most pressing needs for 4+ years running.
Sure sounds like Sancho is trending to become a Blue. Loan with an obligation to buy.
And thank god. We’re dangerously thing in wingers. 🙄
I really want to see us figure out this Osimhen deal. I’m just not very confident we will.
They added the “Force home/away win” feature to mitigate that. You have to go to one of the two schedule menus (either for your team or for total CFB) and then scroll down to the matchup and hit X. A screen will pop over and give you the option to force a win for the home or away team.
In the actual news department, we signed Joao Felix today. I have no idea how he fits with what we have, but I could say the same thing about 10 other guys on our 40+ member "first team". Presumably we did this in order to avoid losing Gallagher on a free after the season.

I'm pretty non-plussed by this signing, which is about the same way I felt when we signed Cole Palmer. So, I look forward to eating crow when Joao ends up being our run away POTY.
I guess the fact that the new season has kicked off and nobody has bothered to start a thread for it speaks volumes. I barely recognize this club anymore, and somehow I find myself really missing a Russian Oligarch with known ties to criminal organizations. He might be a pretty crappy human, but he sure knew how to build a respectable Football Club.
At any rate, now we officially have a spot to express our frustrations as Todd Boehly and the Guggenheim Partners continue to dig a deeper hole for this club.
If you have a problem with the thread title, see my first sentence. You have only yourself to blame.
All things being equal, I’d rather attend the Euro final over the Super Bowl any day. So yeah, I was in heaven. The fact that it counted as a “work trip” was the ultimate cherry on top.
I had the opportunity to take in the final in person. It was truly a spectacle and the energy throughout the match was unlike any sporting event I’ve attended. England fans outnumbered Spains by a good 3 or 4 to ratio, but the Spanish section brought the energy all match long. When the final whistle sounded, the vibe from the English section was like someone had just died.
What a stupid fucking take. We have a first ballot HOF head coach that has won five titles, so we're sure as fuck not bringing in Chris Paul because we lack someone capable of teaching teams how to win.
At this point I'm just happy at the thought of having someone that can model how to throw lob passes and run the god damn pick and roll at a reasonably high level.
Y'all are tripping. Do you want the Spurs to get better or not? He's going to be a valuable add to the locker room and we' re gonna get way more out of him than he'll get out of us. He's gonnal be super helpful for Castle's long term development and understanding of the game at this level.
It sounds like we’re getting a protected first in fucking 2031 and then there is a pick swap option for 2030.
That’s pretty wild. I get having a long term lens but I don’t love that. I know this isn’t a deep draft but this doesn’t feel like the optimal outcome.
They gave Maresca a 5 year deal with an option for a 6th, which I find completely hilarious. I’m sure there are clauses that will let both sides exit early once we’re ready to run him off in 2026.
I picked up one of the higher proof RC16's and it was severely over oaked. I disliked the first pour but came back to it 2 weeks later to give it another shot. I couldn't even finish that pour, and I never pour whiskey down the drain.
All I am saying is that YMMV on that one. Given the price point, I'd want much more of a sure thing.
These owners made a bunch of bad decisions in the transfer market and now they'll end up sacking a fairly quality manager because they have no other option to keep fans hopeful. It's really hard to see any sort of path out of the woods that isn't 3+ seasons away.
Neighbor has the Sinatra. It’s unremarkable. I’d pass on all three, but the MWND is probably the best combo of good product at a price that’s not terribly out of line.
So? Inflation has been high and everything is more expensive in general. Not to mention that liquor stores know that whiskey demand is showing no signs of slowing down. Which is something you validated by still buying at those prices.
