Moshi appears to be resigned to the fact that Russia will not rejoin the west for some time and therefore Usmanov will not be around for his bungs. I'd love to know more about that relationship and what hold Moshi has in Usmanov.

Moshi was his accountant and knows where the pilfered resources of the Russian people are stashed.

I might set up a premium rate chat line called Stripchat.

Just a bunch of fellow sad middle aged men spending £1 a minute talking about their favourite Fiorentina shirt from the 90s. Absolutely money spinner.

It is 10,000 days since the blues have won a trophy 😆

Surely a thread title change is needed to celebrate such an occasion

It is 10,000 days since the blues have won a trophy 😆

Just the right time to post a celebratory song for them called 'Right in Two' by TOOL, from the '10,000 Days' album.

Fittingly, it's about division and the stupidity of mankind.*

But they’ve had the Great Lonsdale come back and the Glorious Bolassie Corner to celebrate.

Have we ever witnessed such epoch defining events?

Wow, they should put that up in the new stadium for the players to see on their way out to the pitch.
Will either frighten the opposition or make them die laughing.

Is it true that they have a Golden Lonsdale and Corner flag in their trophy room?

We can only aspire to such heights I'm afraid.

Another Ev first.

Another Ev first.   

I'm dreading them coming to Anfield and singing ''Where's Your Golden Lonsdales?'' 

We've got no comeback to that at all. 

[Tesco tearaway]

"You'll never sing that.
You'll never sing that.
Invasion with Lonsdales.
You'll never sing that."

Good song! I'm a fan of that group in general though.

Not sure. They deffo had a cuckoo clock in theur trophy cabinet though.

This is the club that proved you don't need to win things to be winners, so yes

27 Years

27 years of footy...fuck all won.
Never a decent European run.
FA and League Cups, total nil.
Now 27 years, and counting still.

Never a Title win in 27 years.
If City win it, their only cheers.
It's the only time they can crow.
In 10,000 days of non stop woe!

27 years of misery and decline.
We've won the lot in that time.
Relegation scraps, they have won.
So our Cup double they outdone!

27 years of deep, mounting pain.
Year after year, we get the blame!
27 years, such a fall from grace.
Their Cuckoo Clock in lots of space!

Bloomberg reporting they may get sold to George Soros's son. Almost fitting as far as being a lightning rod for the loons to mouth off about their conspiracy theories. Would probably mean they'd be barred from certain Eastern European countries as well if they were to ever to make it back into Europe.

What about the corner flags Tim Cahill used to punch?

[Son of Spion]

I'm sure they'll have an original corner flag from those days preserved in a glass case in the 'Cult Hero' section of their museum.

Funny how all of their heroes seem to have punching things in common.

[Skeeve]

Just adding something like this to the end of the current title to commemorate their achievement - 10k and counting

[Red Beret]

The Everton 10k run?

[Son of Spion]

The Everton 10k run?

Is that the one where you can drop out after two hundred yards, blame it on someone else, but still be deemed a winner?

[Crosby Nick]

Is that the one where you can drop out after two hundred yards, blame it on someone else, but still be deemed a winner?

It’s the one where you celebrate wildly when turning a corner around 8,500m into the race.

[4pool]

I thought they all ran 1,995 metres. That when they get their medal.

That's not entirely true. Bolassie celebrated a corner, no corner flags were harmed.

So they play Utd. this weekend - where do you want the points to go?

Me? Hate both, but Utd. to win is my preferred outcome.

Yes I'm with you on that one. Always been that way for me. The only two games of season I'm OK with Utd winning.

0-0 bore draw with both teams losing players to dirty fouls, so they end up hating each other instead of loving each other as they do.

So no more pre match buffets in the Red Brick for the Mancs then?

That stadium design looks odder each time I see it, almost like aliens have landed a spaceship and squashed an existing building.
