  1. Got out of jail there in lots of ways , good to see VAR favouring the big clubs though Moyes did his usual negative thing but they didn’t quite stick to the plan and the one time they really over committed we punished them with a goal was excepting a loss today so that’s a point gained
  2. It’s like watching Sheff U at Villa park with 11 behind the ball , West Ham know we won’t break them down and they look comfortable
  3. There’s a lot to be said that if governments really took climate change seriously that it wouldn’t be cheaper to fly a family of 4 to Spain than it would be to go from Woking to Brighton by train but equally they need to balance it so that flights don’t become the exclusive right of Hollywood superstars flying around the planet telling us we shouldn’t fly
  4. Long as it’s not being flown by a depressed pilot with a death wish , I’m fairly relaxed about flying any make of plane . Ive flown a few in my time that definitely would struggle to get an air worthy certificate in Europe … but I’ll be honest when I flew on a Ilyushin Il-62 , there was a collective sigh of relief once the plane touched down , it was making noises that you really don’t want to hear a plane make at 30,000 feet !
  5. I was suggesting in a flippant way that rather than committing childish acts of vandalism that achieve nothing, the environmentalists protesting that humans are killing the planet could take the journey off the cliff if they felt so strongly … you are free to smash them over the head with a tyre spanner and still do your bit
  6. Or why not walk to beachy head and throw yourself off it , one less person creating a carbon footprint on the planet they want to save
  7. Fiorentina most likely favourites to make it from that side of the draw
  8. After 12 mins of petulant behaviour he knuckled down second half so my MOTM goes to Duran , bit more composure and he could have had a couple more comfortable in the end but we will face better teams on the way to Athens injuries could be key , but Diaby will have gained a heap of confidence from that showing
  9. I take it back … much improvement from Duran second half … if he had his boots on the right feet he’d have a hat trick now
  10. Another lethargic 45 mins might as well take Duran off now , he doesn’t look remotely interested
  11. The game did its best to rob me at the death by giving Solanke 2 undeserved bonus points , but won my head to head by one point this week next week should be fun , I think I'm fielding 4 players having squandered my wild card on 3 man City players that pep didn't' play and 3 Liverpool players who all got injured during their double up week
  12. I've seen him twice First time was about 5 years all about the formation of the universe , bloke in front of me fell asleep , but I found it really really fascinating , even if some of it is a little hard to understand second time ( current tour) is around the Horizons TV show , equally above my tiny brain cells but still interesting , talks about black holes and various theories that would have seen you in a straight jacket years ago , but now might actually be feasible the value of the ticket is down to beholder I guess , but if you've watched Horizons on TV you might not be gaining anything new
  13. clearly I'm not their target audience but I'd be giving my tickets back for resale if I had one I think there are 2 artists on that line up I'd watch Idles and Paul Heaton
  14. I think the 5 Spurs players including the player whose career he just ended , that went after Mcginn influenced his decision tbh .. there was enough in it to mean over turning it wasn't an option
  15. if your neighbours smoke weed just play bagpipes in your back garden to get your own back
  16. finally someone came up with an amusing one
  17. Why on Gods earth would you want to go and see her then ?
  18. I found a rat that some mad scientist must have cross bred with an elephant in our garage one evening ..well tbf the neighbours cat found it , then took a good look at the size of the rat and scarpered . I then found a nest where it had been living for a while so I figured I'm gonna have to "take care" of it now I know its here we had a chase that looked like something out of a Tom and Jerry cartoon around the garage before it managed to "hide" in a small recess that I couldn't get to , so I used a garden fork and basically pushed as hard as i could The screams / noises that rat made will probably haunt me for the rest of my life next time we have a rat I'm just going to pretend I didn't see it
  19. There is a one off chance to stay the night inside St Pauls cathedral on Friday , with access to the library , booking opened at 10:00 and is NOT a competition. at 10:00 the link went live , followed by a text button to write and sat why you should be selected for the stay ... followed by message after you submit saying demand is high and you will be contacted if selected On the basis that it wasn't assigned to the first person in , to me that sounds exactly like a competition .. excluding the fact that the lucky "winner" will have already been pre-selected months ago and us mere mortals never stood a chance
  20. On Thursday you saw Doug moaning at full time that players were not making the right runs Yesterday we saw Bailey also making similar gestures I think , the players have got a bit lost and maybe frustrated at being asked to play more defensively , partly due to the injury situation first with Torres and now with Kamara and lack of depth in the squad / team shape There is also an element of rest of the league saw what we did to West Ham and Brighton and thought **** that , lets put 11 men behind the ball , resulting in a more pedestrian style of play from us which seems to hinder us at times. the performance of the season came when we went at City ... yesterday , Thursday and 2-0 v Luton , we went all negative and made mistakes and kept inviting pressure ..
  21. Picked a bad week for our two worse performances of the season but giving Watkins a week off will probably have done him some good could see after the first 10 mis there was only going to be one winner today , they were up for it and better than us in every department … sadly means there will be a 20 min wank fest over Spurs on match of the day tonight and they really aren’t that good let’s just hope United don’t put a run together as lower than 5th will be a very bitter pill to swallow
  22. That was my first thought sadly
  23. After @bickster comments and with low expectations ,Echo and the Bunnymen last night. well it was definitely interesting , McCulloch was clearly wasted and an attempts to interact with the audience resulted in not understanding more than about 1 word in 4 , but when he sang it was fine , no problem with the lyrics and he sounded ok , the band did everything justice music wise a 20 min interval after a 40 min set and set 2 was about 40 mins with the cutter and killing moon crowd favourites .. the encore included an epic rant mid song about Ray Winston being a clearing in the woods which lead into a further rant about paedophillia being the worse thing on the planet , all slightly bemusing on the whole it wasn’t terrible , but certainly not the best gig I’ve ever been to , but I don’t think anyone left unhappy
  24. Went to the cinema on Sat with the boy to see Dune 2 , booked the Imax in Leicester Square online was there pretty early so mooched around , bought some popcorn and a drink , went to take our seats Turns out I'd booked Cineworld ( which is the Imax) , however we were in the Odeon cinema Wandered across the square to the correct cinema with our Odeon refreshments , to be greeted by the usher with " Did you go to the wrong cinema by chance" because sometimes being humiliated once just isn't enough
