Wow. Im mclovin the clean out by Ryles. I have never seen a better clean out anywhere
I seen Oprah get a colonic, now that was a clean out.
Haha
Ii don't know, Ricky S was savage & got us into a lot of trouble.
Toulouse pronounced 'to lose' .
Good luck to him; hope he's on a winner LOL
Too Loose.
Lol
That's another 300k saved. Looking like a massive war chest 😍
Is it really a clean out if they (Matto as well) are still on the books for 2026? Also does anyone know how much we're even saving on these two going to SL for a few months?
The hope is that the clubs take them for 2026 once they begin playing with them... try before you buy.
