Unbelievably ****e journalism

Anyway where the fook is the prediction thread? Kick Off is in less than 12 hours

Anybody got any stats on how often we win when Linda Pizzuti's in attendance? The lads always seem to up their game when she's watching them in the flesh. Anyway, It appears that Linda will be opting for baseball this weekend and will not be at Wembley.

Find that disappointing if they've ****ed off to America again, I know they've got lives over there but this is one of our biggest games in years then theres the memorial service on Sunday.

Hopefully, they will jet over for the memorial service. I'm sure they can't be that out of touch.

True but that's just her. Essentially isnt she just the girlfriend of one of our owners?

I'd be disappointed if there wasnt a few representatives from FSG present. I presumed Henry and Werner will be there tomorrow

It's Red Sox home opening weekend this weekend and also the 100th anniversary of Fenway, so it doesn't look too likely.

They are the owners not the club mascots, i'm sure somebody from FSG will be there in person so certain fans can feel all warm and ****ing fuzzy inside

Oh right, well i'd understand if the bigwigs arent there. I'm sure they'll have some people over.

Does it really matter?

Only if you are a vacuous douchbag then it is off critical importance, meanwhile the rest of us is just looking forward to a derby at Wembley
