Would feel even more odd if there were any teams from the North East in a European final. Quote

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted May 8 Paid Members Posted May 8 Dunno if anyone has been following this story but ITV were due to screen a documentary following Maldon and Tiptree FC's promotion last season which was shelved yesterday amidst "police activity" at their ground. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c202d8xr1jdo Today's update is grim. Quote The owners of a football club have been charged with multiple offences including rape, sexual assault, and modern slavery trafficking for sexual exploitation. Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, 57, and his husband, Scott, 32, were arrested on Wednesday by Essex Police. Forensic officers searched Maldon and Tiptree FC, the couple's home in Southwood Chase, Danbury and The Swan pub in Braintree, owned by Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, as part of their inquiries. They are both due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Friday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g09pdx82go In UKFF related content, the doco was called "Up the Jammers". "Jammer" is apparently having a shit and a wank at the same time! Quote

Perhaps ETH would've done better at the Etihad. I'd say we should've got Unai in, but he very clearly only does well at teams with the word "villa" in the name. Quote

I think I've said it before on here but I genuinely think they only signed the other one (cba to check who was there first) for the laugh of it all. Quote

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted May 8 Awards Moderator Posted May 8 I thought Teletext had been hacked when I read Arsenal’s new manager was called Arsene. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 8 Paid Members Posted May 8 Y'all remember when Fulham sold a Moussa Dembele and bought a new one to replace him? Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted May 8 Paid Members Posted May 8 Spurs tried to replace Kyle Walker with Kyle Walker-Peters and hoped nobody would notice. But they did. Quote

Paid Members Statto Posted May 8 Paid Members Posted May 8 Shedloads of Papa/Pape Diops over the years, too. When Papa Bouba Diop became a big thing at Fulham loads of Norwich fans thought he was the Papa Diop we'd briefly had on loan a half decade earlier. That was actually Papa Sibonga Diop, and his loan was brief because he spat at QPR fans and was quickly shuffled out the door. Plus he was shit. Quote

He just kept screaming WARDROBE over and over again. Quote
