You should also get a rat and call it Mouseollini, confusion will reign.

Never tea 😉 I hate the stuff, which is weird because as a kid my parents used to call me "teapot" because I couldn't get enough of it. But can't abide it now.

"Howe out" sentiments are a useful indicator I use in my blocking purges, that said, don't see it much here tbh, which is nice.

Definitely looked fitter and stronger, as for his pen, not risky for a German, that's what they do.

He's German that's what they do, high into the corners with power. Nearly missed my arse 😉

So at the far-right thugathon the other week, there were 12 arrests and 25 Police Officers injured. I think we should all spare a thought for the 1000 officers who must have been hurt yesterday at the Palestine rally that warranted 400+ arrests. Get well soon.

I sincerely hope he retires from international football, he'll get fit and then bugger off for 6 weeks for the AFCON otherwise. Given the price we paid that's unacceptable IMO.

Would hope so, but it will come down to the fitness data, it's all about the science.

Ali McPherson @toonpack.bsky.social · 7d

They're managing his minutes, this lot evidently have a couple of big lads up front so we'll want Burn's height.

My Great Uncle. These are the buttons that helped identify him. We have all his letters and always kept him close, delighted he is found.

I doubt Forest would have gone for it, or would have dropped the fee, and we were desparate, can't blame anyone IMO other than PSR obviously.
