They (Disney) have single handedly make me dislike both star wars and marvel. Quite the achievement really.

That wouldn't be Villa. Cult heroes don't drink tea in their downtime 

Meh, why can't we get one of the ones that just drinks cups of tea in his downtime.

It seems like his brain is trying to do things his feet can't accomplish at times, hopefully his feet will catch up lol.

I think he will settle down once he starts to get a few goals, i think he's going to be great.

So I was stopped by the now famous Hampshire traffic police today, apparently for a broken reverse indicator light (how they figured this out when I was going down the M3 is beyond me). In order to show the officer that it worked I put the car in reverse and the lights came on fine. He then wanted me to drive to the nearest services so I could drive with them on, in case of a 'faulty wire'. I did, and sure enough there was absolutely nothing wrong.

I asked him to call his superiors and for his ID. At this point the constable gets absolutely barking mad and started pushing about me just 'accepting the bloody fine'. I asked him if I was being detained or was under arrest, and his answer was 'you will be if you don't do as I say'. He puts me in cuffs (I'm an old man, what am I going to do), and shoves me into the police car. I was having none of this bully, so I just said I want a lawyer. He then proceeds to drive me up and down the M3 for half an hour trying to get me to admit that my car was not legal (it's a bloody Nissan ariya 2022). Why would I tamper with it?

While in the car I told the constable that my car has cameras, and by luck I had turned recording on when he stopped me, whereby he said that these won't be able to 'sort anything out'. I then said I'm pressing charges for how he's treating me and he finally let me off at the other end of the services so I had to walk to my car in the pissing rain. Today I've spent half an hour talking to different superiors of this guy who has now been suspended pending investigation about how they'd love to talk to me (probably to avoid me taking them to court).

I'm wondering if anyone else has any idea what I'd be expecting if I take them to court? I've got the whole 28 minute conversation in his patrol vehicle on my phone (be sure to have Siri active so you can ask her to record in this sort of situation), he makes threats, abuses me, asks why my name is so 'funny' etc. At this point I was shocked and barely responded to his behaviour. I'm sure I came off as a smart-arse in the start of this stop when he wouldn't listen to me about the light working, but I don't think what he did was warranted at all. Hampshire police has a massive issue with their constables being absolute bullies.

Sounds like one for HNK to me, especially if you have it all recorded.

That should wake us up a bit 

Automatic Yellow card for arguing with the ref after a decision if you aren't the captain.

Automatic Yellow card if you block a quickly taken free kick.

Strange draw, thought they were drawing the next group

Zagreb it is then

Class goal

Missed that, what did he say?

He said we played better at the latter end of the season with the new manager, and that 'now' we have confidence. Paraphrased

Well this is slightly concerning but I have to say I’m not surprised. Definitely feels like we’re coming to the edge of a precipice.

He's predicted 9 of the last 2 stock market crashes

If we scored the chances presented to us more consistently, the high line would probably be less of an issue

I like the one about Ally McCoist waking up to find Gazza in his fridge making a sandwich at 3am.

When quizzed, Gazza said he had run out of food, and remembered overhearing McCoist's wife mentioning the spare key in a bag under the tree, so he thought he would nip down and make himself something to eat.
