He does, but there's been no serious talks or movement on it. 

That's gotta hurt for Everton fans. MSP were pretty heavily involved with a potential takeover of Everton. Didn't they lend them money as well?

I'm pretty sure I've lent Everton money at this point.

Madrid are inevitable

Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh.

Honestly, it's going to be VERY funny to me if Dortmund manage to beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final with Bellingham in the side.

THERE it is. Booooooooo.

Note to people in the UK: the final isn't on youtube this year, but you can watch it for free on discovery+ - you have to create an account and the stream quality was quite bad when I just checked it, but that could be my internet.

No issues with the Discovery+ stream on my end! Used my throwaway email to sign up though because do I hell need another thing emailing me

Jesus, what a chance for Adeyemi.

Rumours abound that 2K have secured the FIFA rights and will be releasing FIFA 2K25.

Hard to believe this is the same Lookman that played for us. Phenomenal work by Atalanta, and at least Leverkusen finished the Bundesliga season invincible before this.

Just now, The Lusophone said:

Yeah this is screaming "2024's version of Munich 1999".

And Lookman just took that personally.

This match has 2-1 Leverkusen with both of their goals coming in the 85th minute and after written all over it.

Pretty sure "battle bravely against relegation" is the games way of saying "yeah, you're going back down don't worry about it".

I'm in the phase of replacing some of the Fleetwood players who've been here since League One and it's genuinely hard for me for some reason. Like, yes, my keeper has been with us since 2016 and has now conceded 46 in 22 and is going to go even more downhill very soon, but does the 20 year old Brazilian regen I've just put a bid on have the heart and soul in him? No, but he does have half a star more current ability, two stars more potential ability and 14 years on Alex Cairns.

Never mind City winning the league, congratulations to @Gazz for winning the 2023/24 EWB Fantasy Premier League that I definitely didn't forget about. (Still only came second to last though so not even the glory of the wooden spoon)

I read that the legend/icon/favoured personnel system is bugged. If someone gains a lot of "Favourite People" points in a single season, they end up reverting to a lower threshold.

Yeah I opened the editor and just ticked the permanent box on favourite people, turns out I'm popular enough to be a legend.

In the space of three seasons at Fleetwood, I've:

- Got them to the quarter finals of the FA Cup.

- Won League One and the Championship by a mile.

- And of course, this means Fleetwood are now a Premier League side this season.

How in the world am I only favoured personnel? Jamie Vardy is an icon after 36 appearances but I'm just favoured personnel after 141 games, two league titles, an FA Cup quarter final and, once again, taking them to the goddamn Premier League? Sniff my farts, Fleetwood, sniff them good.

Wasn't my favourite song but they seem extremely wholesome so I'm happy for them. 

#Justice4RimTimTagiDim though.

Very much prefer Graham Norton to having to listen to Scott Mills and Rylan. Anything to get away from three distinct varieties of inane chatter.

Well, took Southport up to the National League on my second season, struggled a little until October and then was offered the Fleetwood job, who sit in 24th in League One. Promptly took the jump, because even if it turns out we get relegated this season like the board expects, that's still a sizable career move and hopefully I can rebuild in the summer to come straight back up.

EDIT: Lol, never mind relegation, I've won my first five games in charge emphatically and taken us up to 15th. This shouldn't be TOO much hassle.

Took over Fleetwood in 24th, took them up as champions in the same season. Now acclimatising to the Championship, sitting in 11th after fifteen games. The international breaks take some getting used to when you've been doing lower leagues

A seriously unfortunate late own goal for Roma to concede. Ouch.

Leverkusen might genuinely never lose again at this rate, fucking hell.

Playing a game with Southport on FM22 (console FM was bugging me but I refuse to buy FM24 this late ) and in the second season. Somehow, the geography of the National League N/S teams has led to St Albans City being in the NL North. Not sure how familiar everybody is with the location St Albans, but north it is not.

A draw will as good as do it now thanks to goal difference. Which I'll take with Chermiti starting up front!

I do not underestimate our ability to lose 20-0.

Would absolutely love three points against Brentford tonight to mathematically secure survival. (Until we get docked a million points on the last day of the season just because)

First derby win at Goodison since 2010. Absolutely buzzing.

Tuned into this game just as our goal was being VAR checked. You're welcome, Liverpool fans, because now you're going to score four.

You can watch Man Utd struggle to play football instead.

That's the hope, I'd like a Cupset™

I'll take three points though, I'd like to be less worried.
