But... why the hell do them in columns and not rows?! Surely that is massively inefficient?!

2023/24 Home Kit Revealed! - News - Oldham Athletic

Not calling it Latique is the most egregious thing any owner has ever done. Frank out!

Stumbled upon the Commercial Opportunities PDF (here) and thought this page was especially interesting (and to me personally very agreeable)...

He literally hits him in the face 10ft from the referee and whilst clearly being watched by the lino too. This should start almost exactly as he does it

More than. And 'taches!

I don't really follow it, but isn't that what's been happening in Rugby Union? And I feel like broadly speaking it has gone terribly?

With 'Read Receipt' turned on. And a passive aggressive 'Dear Sirs" opening gambit. They'll be shitting themselves.

I was (am...?) never his biggest fan - but he literally didn't say that. He said they were required last year and this year they are not. They're not the go-to. But if there's someone worth getting in on loan we'll do it, as wanted as opposed to as needed. The two are not mutually exclusive though? If Wolves pay this kids salary and he gets to come gain some experience we may literally be getting him for nowt.

As it stands we've as much evidence that Frank can be trusted as they do that their American owners can. Ultimately you just don't know people's intentions until they become clear. I think we can trust Frank, he seems genuine. I think they can trust Rob/Ryan, they seem genuine too. I am certain with enough effort, which I certainly don't have, we could find scores of clubs who've been fucked over by 'local' owners, down the years?

I suppose life isn't a tautology for most people, he may have United leanings or affiliations too. I am sure, however, that he has a genuine affection for Latics and has expressed interest in being involved.

It's not even called BT anymore. But, no, not yet.

The Brad Pitt part is of course just him joking around on the telly. But he is a real fan, well connected, and I am told would be interested in being involved. He doesn't have the fuck-you money to do it alone, but I am certain (genuinely certain, not just internet speculation certain) he'd be interested in hearing from the club.

[Don't Bite. Don't Bite. Don't Bite.]

Ahh OK. Ta.

Are we confident that's him?

What’s with the weird slightly National Front-y bulldog in the little Puma vignette?

Lads - no one fucking cares. It's bland, childish bickering. If a 5 year old did it I would be disappointed in their immaturity. I've hidden some of it, I can't be arsed finding the rest of it. Just stop. Grow up. Or DM each other. Or meet up in person and just have a good rummage under the sheets, get the tension over and done with. But it stops here. You both post perfectly fine most of the time, but I will just ban you in the end - I'm far too lazy to go cleaning up threads these days. Please and thank you.

It was a good set! Much better than when I saw him at Ally Pally recently, for his immersive light-show thing - that was far too much plinky plonky self congratulatory nonsense, for me. I thought it was supposed to be his set. But it felt like a DJ set to be honest. Let's be fair, by then I was absolutely cunted so I've no clue! Mogwai were my first post-covid show a couple of years ago. I can still hear the ringing in my ears But yeah, if your idea of fun is a show and then partying in the beer tent - do that! It's a mantra that of course applies to all festivals, but given the shear size and diversity especially so Glastonbury - which is you do you! Some people will run from set to set, some will pick out key acts, some will camp at Pyramid for their spot, some start at 9am, some don't get out until late-afternoon. If you're having fun and not being a dick to anyone else - you're golden!

To add - that run from Roo Panes to Badly Drawn Boy on the Saturday was basically just me wanting to see him at about 16:00 and so staying at the Acoustic stage for three hours as it was out of the sun. A fine example of sometimes you have to take what you get in that heat, rather than running to and fro, from things I actually would have liked to see more. Also FYI @Matt, so you see it too

Will drop a couple of early caveats... it was hot as fucking hell. Impossible to dash from A-to-B because you were too busy sweating to death. Hit the Mrs really hard and she's not as music-obsessive as me, so certainly took things a little slower than originally planned. I am not complaining mind you, had a fucking great time and very much believe in the "you do your own Glastonbury" mantra. That said, here's my list as best I can remember it: Friday The Hives Craig Charles Unknown Mortal Orchestra Chvrches Fred Again.. FourTet Floating Points B2B Daphni Sherelle Saturday Cable Street Collective Roo Panes The Magic Numbers The Sharon Shannon Trio Badly Drawn Boy Lizzo Fatboy Slim Analog Soul Ben UFO Baronhawk Poitier (tiny bit) Scalping Sunday Cassetteboy vs DJ Rubbish The Big Moon Cat Burns Porij Blondie Editors Elton John Hybrid Minds ft Tempaz Wilkinson I will do a more comprehensive breakdown of anyone you're interested in - I won't bore you with doing a play by play Absolutely he did. The fella crowdsurfing a blow up bed was hilarious, too. He's basically on a mission to play every single stage at Glastonbury. He did three or four sets this year, the Park one being the only one on a stage big enough for the Beeb to cover. Apparently his set at the Greenpeace tree was amazing. I skipped that as it's in a pinch-point and gets mental busy when over-crowded. Plus I'd literally watched him at Park, so have to pick your battles and see other things. Anyway - sixth year, still love it. Still need to put more shade up. Still need to control the flows better at the big stages (Elton was scary at times, especially being a football fan and knowing what the worst can bring). But I'd never rather be anywhere else.

Germany isn't a club! CHECK MATE BITCH!

But that's perspective led, isn't it. It wasn't for you, but others enjoyed it. I think the reason people are getting their back up is because your stance is so emphatic. Were the answers given 100% transparent - no. Were the answers given 100% opaque/lies - no. So, somewhere in the middle is reality and different people will move up/down the line as to how much they are willing to accept those answers and how much they are willing to enjoy them. People spent a couple of hours doing something they enjoyed. You didn't like the answer to one or two questions. It's perfectly OK for you to not like it, it's perfectly OK they did.

It's also worth remembering it's only just the end of June. Lots of players are barely out of contract from last season and there's still plenty of wriggle-room left yet. Some of us are talking like we've only 2 or 3 days before the season starts, as opposed to over a week before the first friendly. The quality of the signing will prove itself over time, no players at this level are guaranteed success or failure, that's often why they are down here. But it's hard to argue with the idea that this pre-season has been more structured, strategic and seemingly well-managed.
