Loving the gym joke, Pete!

OI, do you think AI could replace him?

No district line trains this weekend till after 2 pm from Wimbledon

Nigel James used to be at Hanworth Villa when they had a decent youth set up we played them in the Youth Cup

Trigger - nothing from the share sale should go to any day to day costs, this 'working capital' input should be what boosts the playing budget. As far as I know only Mr. Buckley of the decision makers gets paid and as I understand it he is busy trying to find a way to be replaced.

One thing it will be important to see from any proposed 50+1 deal is how much of the invested money will make its way to the playing budget? Versus how much will dissipate away with pay rises and bonuses for directors and other non-football staff or new roles being created (and filled with clique).

Thought Nervo was taking the piss but it turns out Chelsea really are wearing yellow and blue.

And Pete, I went to a talk in Kingston Library with my dad about 25 years ago from the bloke who'd advised the Gladiator people about Roman armour. He said they ignored every word he said.

Chelsea are wearing yellow & blue next season so we've missed a trick

OI- Nigel James was on Talksport yesterday. Seemed a lovely bloke. Like you I hope we have some connection with him.

Brilliant, Pete. Thank you from me and thank you from him.

Watched Napoleon last night, the newish one with Joaquin Phoenix(sp?). Hmmm. Whoever wrote the screenplay was more into bedroom tactics than French battle tactics. The Waterloo scenes were a joke. First time I've ever seen the French attack like a Scottish horde, rather than in slow moving columns. Very poor.

Interesting interview with Nigel James, father of Lauren and Reece, who apparently also discovered Rudoni. Based at Goals Wimbledon( is that the one next to the A3 and railway?). I presume our academy keeps contact with him. [Link]

That’ll be our paid brand & design manager then will it?

Paddington - I did post a joke yesterday, but just for you [Link]

8 red cards for Brazil in their defeat against USA.

A two- colour scheme isn't the worst idea - the advert hoardings at Burton are in two colours and they seem fine - but there's no real reason not to use blue and yellow.

I would be very interested to know how that decision was arrived at and who was involved in the discussions

Why blue and white? Why not blue and yellow?

".... the club want a blue and white theme within the stadium….."

Spot on Karen @13.13

An update on “sponsorship gate”. My understanding is that the discussions/ negotiations reached deadlock with the commercial team. Allegedly the sponsors reached out by trying to escalate it further up the line trying to reach out on a number of occasions, ……..but didn’t even receive a call back . I can only presume that we have found a magic money tree and can allow 100k + deals to lapse. Assuming this is the case then surely those involved need to give their head a wobble. Will be very interested to hear the clubs version of events

Paul Strank has always had that logo, if you look at the old programmes from (I think) the 1980s. I won't be entirely surprised to find out that, like MyPie, he was asked to start paying higher rates and got the arse

Actually having slept on it I agree with Stu, would love to hear the clubs side. Find it hard to believe it’s as clear cut as change your colours or your out. Sadly that will become fact if club don’t respond. IIRC people are outraged when mypie aired there dirty washing online but the club responded magnificently to that and put it to bed.

Why should he change his branding ?? Something he has had for a number of years and has been very successful using it just to please our marketing person
