As long as it stays 1-0 it's guaranteed that Mike Dean will give us a penalty in stoppage time.

Is this synchronized diving?

If they do indeed Citeh do come for jack in the summer then I’d hope we drive a hard bargain and get the price we want but potentially also demand one of their hot prospects. One of Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Adrián Bernabé, Jayden Braaf, Tommy Doyle, or Cole Palmer... 

Wolves would not sell Jota to Plop unless they were allowed to sign Ki-Jana Hoever ... We should drive a similar bargain

Last time we did that with a City youth player it didn't work out so well.......

Anyway paperboys... bah they were the softies of child Labour.

We had kids in our school that did milk rounds, every Milky had a lad, they'd run to each house and deliver the milk, whilst the Milky generally sat on his arse in the Milk Float.

These kids would be up at 5am, do the round and be in school on time and asleep.

The only time the Milky would get off his arse would be to collect the money on a Friday night and he'd probably make an effort in December

And back then, you'd leave a note in the bottle for extra orders (or to decrease it) so sometimes the lad would have to go back to the same house again to dropp off the extras.

For some reason these kids were also good at running in PE

Will be amazed if he's not in tomorrow's England squad, Fully deserves a call up 

er, you do know which muppet is the England manager right?

I'll be amazed if he is in the squad. Not down to him as he is a Rolls Royce defender. Southgate is going to pick all the usual suspects led by wedge head and Stones will be the 'surprise' pick.

A stupid thing that is happening is that Stephen Breyer keeps not retiring immediately. Gonna end up with a 7-2 Republican majority on the Supreme Court because of the arrogance of yet another gerontocrat who thinks he'll never die .

Biden needs to get the balls to expand the court and introduce term limits.

He (and the Dems) also need to get the balls to give Puerto Rico & D.C. statehood. Hand wringing about the GOP in southern states passing laws of pure voter suppression (thinly veiled as legislation) is a waste of time. Do you think the morally bankrupt GOP would waste a moments breath if they thought D.C. & P.R. statehood would benefit them?

Also, didn't he pledge during the campaign that he would have a bi-partisan commission to look at the pros & cons of expanding the supreme court?

I believe they pronounce it the same way we do, though I'm not sure and open to contradiction. That being said though, when I've heard Americans and Canadians try to say 'Worcestershire', it's usually something like Woos-suss-ter-shy-er.

Correct - They say "Wusster" - and the butchering of Worcestershire is exactly how you describe it.

There’s a few teams (us included) that can look brilliant or awful one week to the next. Burnley another. 

I think Dean's comments yesterday were right on the money. There are very few teams in the flow right now playing consistently (apart from City.) Our form and energy has fallen off a cliff since the Covid outbreak.

It's an odd season and was always going to be.

Cracking game to be fair.

When did Burnley turn into Barcelona? (First half anyway)

Conservatives love to cut funding for the arts, and the best possible punishment is for them to have to listen to renditions of the national anthem like this one at their annual get-together. You will need the sound on, but don't listen close to cut glass:

Cuomo still hanging on until the biter end. 

AOC, Nadler and most of the NY political scene want rid. Interesting how little play this is getting given his superstar status not too long ago.

Absolutely incorrect and fake news.  This morning NPR was talking about the 6 woman (so far) that have come out with allegations.

Cuomo is getting tons of play in the lamestream media. (So it's obviously fake news )

He's done for. Quite right too.

It’s located in between the indoor market one side, and a sort of posh department store the other side at a point where buskers and lefty choirs and soup kitchens compete for the best spot. All human life is present, and I observe it through glass, sipping a macchiato.

 

So just altos and sopranos then?*

That's brum as well, think they're from Stourbridge / dudley kind of way, that's how the yoof dress now 

They aren't prescription glasses either 

Good lord.

I'm originally from Stourbridge. Anyone going out dressed like that when I was growing up would get glassed!*

*That's not a good thing, but still true.

State of them. Do people actually dress like that or are they in fancy dress? Is this some weird subculture I know nothing about?
