Reports here said they received numerous bottles of champagne and "high end liquors" they thought were "complimentary". At the end of the evening they were presented with a bill totalling around £50,000. Pretty impressive night out lads.

For us mortals, it's an impressive night out, but it's pocket change for them! I've dealt with this situation a few times with some well-known music celebs when I was a Road Manager back in the dim and distant past, my favorite of which was the $55,000 incidental bill from a hotel in Europe for a well known artist that I had to put on my Amex card, and that was for one night back in '90.......Oh, and it was just 2 people! Strip clubs are the worst for pulling this kind of scam, hated pulling the lovelies out of those places, I don't like weapons................................

I remember reading the Secret Footballer talking about how there'd be nights out where they'd have a table at a club and there'd be some lads from another team or some other random celebs at another table and they'd always end up playing a game where they'd get the waitress to send over things to each other's table almost in a game of chicken for who would dare to send over the most lavish, extravagant, and expensive thing. Obviously they're all one-upping each other so the bar tab is getting higher and higher and higher. We're talking tens of thousands of pounds i.e. more than most people earn in a year, and they're just treating it as some sort of disgusting game to show off their wealth. Bloody ridiculous.

Welp, I am getting absolutely mullered in fantasy this season. 943 points against and counting. Bastards.

Demaryius with a qb worth a damn>>>>>>>

Love the move by my texans. When Fuller’s back next year thats gonna be hilarious. Hopkins, Thomas and Fuller as a receiving corps is wild.

I figured Thomas would be cut in the offseason, $17mil cap hit is real big for a guy that would probably be their 3rd best WR.

He might be but i doubt it. Could possibly restructure i guess. Its alot of money but if we cant get s better wideout for cheaper we’d keep him i think. But i think with a qb worth a damn he’ll show up a lot better. His qbs have been putrid the last 3 or 4 years

Is this the busiest the trade deadline has been in a while? I don't remember so many big(ish) name players moving. Do the Rams have any draft picks left?

Raiders are just an absolute farce right now and if I was a Raider over in the Bay area i'd almost certainly fuck the rest of the season off and not bother wasting my money watching a team as pathetic and openly transparent to want to tank.

Is this really the legacy Mark Davis wanted to leave the Oakland natives with?!

@beats1 did you watch it?

Thankfully, I didnt realise that the Raiders were on TNF

However I am seeing more raiders fans seeing the reality of the situation now lol

Not scoring one touchdown is a joke but losing by that margin just makes things worse

All of a sudden people are and thinking this guy can't be this bad and suggesting perhaps there is an ownership issue and that they can't afford to pay the players. However paying a person $10m a year for a rebuild is insane.

Crazy that Gruden said that with Mack this defence was terrible but its much worse without him lol

Davis dont care what anyone thinks about him

I can see those $75,000 personal seat licenses for the Las Vegas Raiders selling out fast.

Another win for us, expected though, Bills are dreadful.

5-3 now, 4 more wins and we get to the 9 mark! we now have 3 divisional games coming, huge 3 weeks for us, win 2 of those and we look good.

Dez signing with the Saints! So happy for him!

He's my all time favorite football player, had a lot to do with he was drafted by the Cowboys just as I was deciding to go to Oklahoma State. Going to be a Saints fan for the rest of the season. Can't stand Jason Garrett and what Jerry has turned this organization into, a complete joke.
