But you don't, you get a shed load more money that you fully splurge on transfer fees and wages just to stay there. Simon Jordan totally nails this and that the EPL and EFL want to return ASAP to keep the bubble from bursting. And they have plenty of mouthpieces in the media - which is frankly unsurprising because how many forge a livelihood from reporting and commenting on the day to day activities thereof. I don't like Maguire because I saw the true side of him in Twitter exchanges. Deeply unpleasant character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Twitter argument? He might be saying the same about you in that case. We only have one side of a twitter spat to go on. You shouldn't let that cloud the actual content of what he says regardless otherwise it just makes you come across as bitter and twisted and gnarled up like a tree stump in the summer breeze Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Couldn't have timed it better to be fair! I've never spotted any mistakes in any of your posts in all the years of you posting on here, so that was a sweet sweet funny moment!
