There's no he said/she said in financial crimes...

But someone has fucked someone, without their agreement!

More likely a chip-shop name .....

Treated myself today to a portion of fish & chips - £7.15. I used to have a pocket-money job in a chippy back in the early 60's. Fish 1/- , chips 6d (equivalent to 7.5p), 10,000% increase
If I worked a full day, they would feed me pie & chips, 2 rounds of bread & butter, a cup of tea with a woodbine.

In early 1976, a portion of chips was still only 6p.

But two very dry summers - '75 and '76 - put paid to that, and the price rocketed, and has, obviously, never been the same since.

The pisscan signed Jones

I know. The OP was listing players signed since he left so Jones shouldn’t be on the list.

Does anybody think Bobby Manc is gonna come and be Wreck it Ralph's puppet? Can't see it myself - his managerial career achievements dictate he can't be bought to be someone else's woman

It is funny that the biggest club in the world, supported by more than tenth of the entire human population, has chosen as its messiah an old dude who hasn't actually worked in the specific profession recently. He had been content to take Russian tax payers' money for this retirement, but the best club in England has given him his first, and probably last, dealings with a 'big' club.

There will never be a denouement like it ever again. Not given the historical backdrop and the prevailing narrative of that season.

Hmmm...I understand you like to 'drink it in' rather a lot.
And as for the fondness for swearing...is that you, Martin?

If he likes shapes, that’s Luke Shaw absolutely fucked.

Really got to be careful with the phrase 'throw some big ones' in football, as ole found out.

...because they are prepared to give him more of these 'dollars'?
Ahh, I guess as they earn their own money, they're entitled to do what they choose with it.
