"...and their captain, Bendydick Thundersnatch, who owns 47 Cluedo sets but has never played a game. United by a crippling fear of matching cutlery, they are the Ninth Legion."

The terror of the Milky Way, the entire Galaxy! There were very few Snickers from their victims. The Bounty for their capture meant they were soon caught, though, and it all ended in Celebrations.

There's nothing funny about Gianni's new office in Trump Tower, but it WOULD be funny if they put it in the apartment where Chuck Blazer kept his cats. Turns out the stench of corruption was just cat piss all along!

Philippe, if I may! There's a case before CAS tomorrow, Partizan v Patrick Andrade. Am I correct that this is one you mentioned before, where the transfer system as it stands is under scrutiny?

Something I came across that's not been noted much: the Auckland team in the A League, table toppers last season, are not allowed in the Asian Champions League because they're based in NZ, which is in Oceania. So they currently have no way to qualify for this shindig.

You think it's going to run out of juice, then, right at the end, that line just caps it off perfectly. Every line is a variation of "fuck you, John" without ever saying it. Masterful.

There does seem to be an element of "keeping the show on the road" about some of these stories. I'm fully aware this is a Euro-centric viewpoint, but the level of anticipation for the competition itself feels non-existent.

There are 5 international windows between here and WC26, the last of which is immediately pre-tournament, leaving 4 "live". 3 windows x 2 games gets the 4 team groups done, last window for the playoffs. Games already played in the 5 team groups, including the next two days, bridge the gap.
