I was gonna make fun of Amy Lawrence secretly believing Arsenal still had a chance in their CL group, and how notedly uninsightful pundit Thierry Henry is going to be the new manager after Wenger goes, but then Arsenal beat Bayern 2-0 sooo

some of the other dudes are really bad at parroting cliches too.

On FW I like Honigstein, Cox, Horncastle, and maybe AuClair when he makes it on. Macintosh seems fun to hang out with but I'm not sure he has much insight.

I think Sid and especially Barney are pretty self-aware, I prefer them to journos who take football so loving seriously

Also does anyone else think Jimbo's losing it (in a good way)? He's throwing in more weird references and non sequiturs than ever

I'm sure the source in question described them as an 'elderly man'. Has to be an elderly man who owns a 'mega yacht' and is prominent enough for a football fan to think of showing the source a picture of him.

I reckon it's either Gold or Sullivan.

Did they say it was a British owner? If so it would have to be Sullivan or Gold, who else is recognisable? If not, I can buy John Henry having some hosed up fetish.

Having bought Liverpool it's likely he is into pain and self psychological torture.

The potential list is huge though even in championship and lower leagues....I do like the Gold/Sullivan suggestion though

The guy recognised the name pretty quickly, which definitely limits the number of teams it could be because I doubt the chairman of Exeter or Yeovil could be picked out of a lineup by anyone.

So it's Prem + various Italian clubs + some championship clubs I guess?

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
No chance. He's a great actor but definitely not A-list.

It was hilarious listening to Football Weekly attempt to talk about ticket prices. They seemed genuinely baffled at the idea that tickets could be more expensive, quoted Karl Marx on why prices shouldn't be raised and then suggested a catchphrase-based ticket pricing policy("twenty's plenty"). Way to live up to the stereotype.

The last FW was really bad, possibly one of the worst I've heard yet. For a while they've all seemed about 10 minutes too long, as well. Jimbovision is amazing.

I think it works better when it's Jimbo and Barry with two more serious people, as I find when it's three super-serious people with Jimbo it gets very dry very quickly. I like Ian Mackintosh's enthusiasm for everything, but he's just not that funny.
