    They could still catch us... in 2027

    Points deduction. Do not pass go. Do not collect CL qualification

    We don't even need that unless there's an enormous GD swing

    So on a day where we have played terribly, looked totally exhausted and are limping towards the end of the season with a crumbling squad, we have actually managed to increase the gap on goal difference. Thanks Tottenham

    The pitch is 60 plus metres across. I'm always amazed then manage to do it so quickly, and then erase the blue and red lines again before play restarts. Witchcraft

    I'm a little surprised if Richard Parker has won. Don't get me wrong, he was great in Life of Pi, but I didn't think people would be able to see past his dangerous tendencies and long stripy tale. Just goes to show, we are a tolerant bunch in the West Mids.

    So then, is this a bad day for the blues in the Midlands all round?

    All down to Sandwell then - going to be very tight

    Tom Brady's 8th or 9th Superbowl?

    That does sound a dog's dinner, but theoretically (and it is only a theory), if you don't like what the mayor and or councillors are doing, they can be voted out. Local/regional politicians get greater powers, but also should get greater scrutiny/accountability (though a weakness we have is a decent local press and or civic institutions to help coordinate this) Edit: case in point - Ben Houchen oversees what looks like corruption and nepotism on a large scale at TVCA, doesn't get anywhere near enough scrutiny. and is rewarded with reelection. But I suppose at least it's decent local cronyism and grift for local businesses as opposed to the national level stuff we have seen with award of covid contracts

    Not particularly poetic though. I think force feeding crisps through a funnel until death - foie grass style - would be more appropriate

    We won on pens over two legs. I'm oddly confident we will again. Don't know why. Who will be Graham Fenton this time?
  13. one_ian_taylor
    The media, yes, but also our tax system, government control and economy. When you start to see regional mayors get real spending and other powers, that might change

    The Boston Dymamics dog always reminds me of the mechanical hounds in Fahrenheit 451. There's also that killer robot dog episode in Black Mirror. As with many new technologies, the manufacturer will wax lyrical about all the amazing possibilities, but I don't think it's too Freudian to say that at some point people will reduce it to either sex or killing (obviously just the killing in this case )

    Think it's also worth bearing in mind that a lot of teams who qualify for Europe for the first time (or first time in a while) tend to struggle in the league, even if their cup form is decent. In recent years, can think of Wolves, West Ham and Brighton who have all dropped off in the league the season after qualifying. We have done better in the league, as well as getting to a European semi final. Feels like we are very up and down at the moment, but that is some achievement. And I don't see the semi final as being over by any means. Beat Brighton on Sunday and we can throw the kitchen sink at the second leg.

    Clad the terrifying death hound in as much blue fur as you like. It is still a terrifying death hound
  17. one_ian_taylor
    Well, I mean it worked for us...
  18. one_ian_taylor
    Have maintained my 100% record of not seeing us win on telly this season. I don't get to watch that many games, but of all seasons, surely one of them could have been a win. But don't worry, I am not going to be able to watch the game on Sunday.

    Things I'm wondering now... is your dick a plastic dick?
  20. one_ian_taylor
    Or to give it an Orwellian twist, four leagues good, two leagues bad

    But maybe his moonlighting is why it looks like his legs have gone, he's just knackered all the time. And then you start to think, is it just two leagues? Or is it one for each day of the week? Slight Craig David vibes (though to give him his due, David was at least monogamous within the period of a week, and did take Sunday off).
  22. one_ian_taylor
    Do his club know he's been playing in Saudi? Can't see them being too happy about it
  23. one_ian_taylor
    I'm happy for them to be reminded of it to be honest. Rub it in.

    If English clubs did get a 5th place, they could still qualify, but it's a very long shot both that there is a 5th spot and they overtake Spurs, so I'd say the article is spot on
  25. one_ian_taylor
    Well, he can be a real danger in the box
