Don't blame me. Blame Arthur (Guinness)....

That is a pretty weak side but reflects our situation. Injuries are annoying but the immoral little sh1tes who are refusing to play, or pretending to be injured, are spineless cnuts. Just saying.

I think Byram will be better than Hjelde at LB but struggling to see where our goals will come from - maybe Poveda?

They will have former quarterback Tom Brady in the stands rooting for them

Thought this was amusing. Dan James immediately below a 'hard men of football' post....



Ah well.
