Farage lying? Surely not?
Like a posh version of Arthur Daley. Anybody trusting him needs to have a serious look at their "contract". It makes Brexit look deliverable and Truss a model of common sense. |

Not going to happen. Macron's presidency runs to 2027. His party haven't had a majority in the Assembly.. RN have been carping on the sidelines. If they win, they'll have to put a coalition together and translate populist ideas into deliverable government.
If they fail, which seems quite likely, Macron's successor could get an easy run to the Presidency. |

Amid all the populist claptrap from a man of the people with an private education and a career as a City broker, the plans to destroy NHS has gone under the radar.
Add resiliation from ECHR and WTAF doesn't cover it. Which human rights do you want to do without? Torture? Family Life? Access to justice? |

Sounds like the right approach. He just signed a new contract but if he can't produce at Orient, we will need to cut ties. |

Reply | Season Preview Revisited – Bottom Half
at 16:10 29 Jun 2024
I think this season's Championship could be 1 of the weakest in years.
3 relegated sides don't look great. Sheff I were dreadful, Burnley allegedly with financial difficulties, Luton trying to reproduce character that got them up.
Leeds, W Brom and Norwich all have money worries.
3 promoted teams don't look great. Murphy from Oxford to Pompey (£9m ???) will do further, without improving Pompey that much.
Could we do more than mid table? |

Nardi's signing is subject work permit and international clearance.
It is almost impossible to sign any U18s from EU. Think Man City and N Battersea have been affected. |

It may be Walsh as #1, and Nardi as #2. Unlikely but possible. |

No surprise. Not going to happen. He's signed for Dunfermline.
And later, Jordan Archer has signed for Portsmouth on 2 year deal. [Post edited 27 Jun 20:28]

Letting Begovic go and replacing with Nardi should make a big difference to our outgoings on wages. |

I suspect Begovic and Willock are already settled. Neither going to be with us.
JCS will be sold if we can get £6m+. That goes a long way to fining a replacement AND strengthening other areas..
Marti will stay and we'll finish around halfway. |

It looks to be a much weaker league than last season. I hope we're more involved at the top half.
However, at this stage
Oxford United (sans Murphy)
Plymouth ( sans Scumacher as manager)
Blackburn, unless Smodicz reproduces last seasons goalscoring. |

Allegedly interested in Paul Nardi, a 30yo keeper, available on a free after going out of contract with Gent.
If any substance, the club are prepared to let Begovic go. |

Just got back from Coldplay at Groupama stadium in Lyon. Whatever you think of their music they know how to put on a show. I don't think I'd ever been to a gig where virtually everybody sang every song. Bearing in mind, 50,000+ were French, that's some recognition
Janelle Monae was the support. Just another shout diva, I'm afraid. [Post edited 24 Jun 19:22]

Supposedly interested in Keiran Ngwenya, a LB from Aberdeen, being released on a free. He's had loan spells with Partick Thistle, who are supposedly also interested.
If signed, he's likely to go into Dev Squad. Where he'll be competing with Shann and Leahy.
Seems an odd one to me. Not good enough for SPL, 21yo, for a position where we already have 2 players. Both in First team (Paal & Larkeche) and DS. |

Unless we never wrote a decent compensation clause into Marti's contract. Remember he had v zero experience in UK before our appointing him. |
