We scouted Partey for quite some time and pulled the trigger for a bargain price last summer. Is that good enough?

ā€˜ā€˜If the film aint finished before my Rustler’s burger dings, I don’t want it’’

I’m not being picky because you are right and ā€œpretty comparableā€ is a very reasonable choice of words, but as excited as I was about signing Pepe, I do think my excitement at signing Sancho would be on a slightly different level.

I understand if you expect me to hand in by membership card to the Pepe Fan Club. I don’t need to read the standing orders to know you have authority here.

When have I said I ate rustlers?

You couldn’t pay me to eat that shit

You really should get some cheese and lettuce into your burgers mate, and some ketchup or relish, for real. I’m telling you this as a friend.

I’ve not eat a burger I’ve had to make myself since October lol. Why is OA so obsessed?! :joy::joy:

When I’m out in pubs and restaurants I get proper burgers with salad sauce everything. Who can be arsed doing that yourself when it’s not as good as the ones the professionals do haha.

It’s just really funny man, we love you.

If it makes you feel better I’ll remind everyone of the time I had a sandwich that OA deemed to be fucking appalling. Still wearing the fucking scars from that one on my psyche to this day.

Nah you can stay, I know you’re high on that English favouritism right now so I understand. Saying that I am really eager to see how Sancho will perform at United with the expectation of that price tag.

I don’t think he’ll flop, he’s too good technically but I do think the Bundi and BVB really puts players on a pedestal in order to fleece every single penny out of them. I would never have thought I’d see Dembele flop in the way he did.

I think he might have a difficult adjustment period ala Pepe but eventually his quality will shine through.

I actually wouldn’t mind players of their profile. They’re young, with room to grow you reckon, but experienced enough to perform immediately can be building blocks for the next five to eight years. Can’t really talk about their quality or potential quality, because I don’t see them play often. But there is nothing wrong with both their profiles, on paper. But like you said the problem is their nationality and what that means for the potential fee.

Agree, Fernandes is a level or two above Maddison as a creative talent and goalscorer yet we’d be willing to pay a similar fee for lesser production.

It’s somewhat lazy and uneconomical to focus on domestic talents

I’ve wholeheartedly committed to just enjoying the ride with England these days, even though that effectively equates to me tacitly inviting a deep, lager soaked sorrow upon my person every two years.

Maddison doesn’t look like a disgusting rat fetus though, so he’s got that going for him over Fernandes.

How would you be after 23?

It’d be too different an experience to compare to being an England fan as I know it. But if it had been 23 years I’d just be happy to be there and celebrating 0-0 draws like you lot.

I thought it was an accurate and fair comment when I called him ā€œa little ratboyā€ but you just changed the game

After so long without a tournament I really do wonder if I would just be satisfied with seeing my team there but going out with a whimper, or would i rather the run of missing out to continue :grin:

Wales went ages but then gave it a great go in 2016 that they’ll remember forever. Same with Norn Iron in one of the tournament’s they made it to if I’m remembering correctly.

Or is it enough to just be there and be part of the party so to speak? :grin:

What about Mighty Ducks? The original one. The whole plot makes absolutely no sense. Coach Bombay gets court ordered community service for driving drunk, his fancy firm doesn’t fire him and somehow he ends up being put in charge of children?

Great use of ā€œGood Vibrationsā€ by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch in the movie though.
