Yeah Yates is always the most popular

While I agree to a certain extent, it can't hurt someone else having a go at how they would set the team choosing from the best players we have available for the game. It is a shot for nothing on playing the right system.

I got the impression they weren't expecting us to sell out when it went to general sale with no criteria after season tickets.

I'd add 'street food' and to a certain extent 'craft beer' to that as well. both originally meant something, now they are just use to peddle crap or charge more for it.

After a busy summer I've been stepping up my job hunt again. Revised my CV which sort of worked as I've had a few recruitment agencies get in touch, but that has just been frustrating as the roles have been pretty much the same as what I earn now with no better prospects. Each time the recruiters have seemed surprised I've not been interested in the roles they've had. Today I got offered an interview for a job I forgot I applied for. Its been a little while since I applied and didn't think I stood a chance when I saw the advert but went for it anyway, so it's a bit of a result I've got this far. I've got a week and a bit to work out how I'm going to go about standing out in the interview as well as not showing some of my inexperience in certain aspects.

That can't be far off our best team, with Ayew being pretty good at tracking back to not make it too attacking. In theory the interlinking between Gil, Ayew and Grealish should threaten any defence and the chance to supply Gestede should get us GAGGing for more. God knows what he's going to come up with though.

Can't see us winning but it would be an added bonus if we did, to get Mourinho sacked from Chelsea for a second time.

You would be subject to the same restrictions as if you bought them a pint. Non-alcoholic beer is classed as beer for the purposes of the law (they can have up to 0.05% ABV and still call themselves 'non-alcoholic'). Yes it's over 18's only for non alcoholic beer. Apparently Erdingers non alcoholic beer is quite nice. Personally though I don't find the appeal and not tried any. Quite happy with a soft drink if need be. I can't say that happens too much though, especially as I've not had a car for a couple of years.

If Stoke are a far superior team than us, then we are as good as down anyway. of course they are, league tables don't lie, they have been ahead us for years. We are a bottom 5 team and have been for a while. We are only in the prem because there have been 3 really really shit teams in previous seasons. We are not even a 40 point a season team and won't be this season either That's the point they aren't 'far superior' the difference between us and Stoke isn't that much. The only difference is a good run of games. I think it's only 13/14 where Stoke weren't really looking over there shoulder at all during a season. I'm not denying the position we are in. They've been the better team for a while, and this season remains to be seen but far superior is ridiculous, and as I say if they are far superior(this season, not today) we will be relegated.

Last leg of journey into town. Loving it, petrified, buzzing, nervous. Ah sod c'mon Villa!

For various reasons I shouldn't be going today but couldn't resist. On the train now and will get into town just after 6. Not sure what the weather is like up there but it will be interesting to see how the ref handles the first 10 minutes.

Nearly had that monumental cock up in record time, as she's been a bit worried & done a pregnancy test today Thankfully it was negative.

I always find dating a nightmare. I go through spells of trying and likewise the girls I like aren't interested and I'm not interested in the ones that like me. I usually just get really pissed off for various reasons and sack it of for a while. Getting by with the odd one night stand and a few short lived things, it's been a while since I've been in a proper relationship. I met someone two months ago and for now things seem to be going very well. Still early days but from my experience, while its no good not doing anything about it, don't try too hard and something will come up. While things are going good at the moment, I'm fully expecting to update this thread having monumentally cocked up or she turns out to be a little crazy

Got my ticket today. I'm not guaranteed I can go though, it depends on whether I can finish work early Tuesday and start late Wednesday. I'm coming from Bath so will have to stop at parents as I have no way of getting back on the night.

He should have complained about short measures on the cider. I thought I actually wrote glass in there as well You never got away with being short anyway, it had to be brimming to pass without comment.

I worked on a bar where a Saturday night regular sometimes poured a glass of red wine into his pint of cider. I've never been tempted to see if he is onto something.

I put the pic in off topic but hadn't noticed the text with the tweet

I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERF*****G SNAKES ON THIS MOTHERF******G PLANE

Apart from what ever shit they followed it up with... Sorry I know I upset at least one person here. Stereophonics are at least in the running for the worst band ever though. I quite liked Word gets around when it came out, but had a couple of mates that never stopped playing it, which ruined it for me. There aren't many bands from that came out of that era that I have regularly listened to since, apart from SFA. Though I do go back in occasionally for albums & songs that I loved at the time. Cast are playing in Bath in November so tempted to go see that.

My girlfriend works for an animal charity and the main part of her job is regarding re-homing dogs. So I completely agree with you, and from stories of some of the homes she has visited, it should go for children also.

I've never been his greatest fan, even in his prime but if it goes through his experience will be useful to have around. He adds to an attacking threat from set pieces as well.

45 now and never had it ... my kids both caught it a few years back so I kinda expected to get the dreaded Shingles but it never materialised .... but yeah I've heard it can be bad I don't think you can get shingles without having had chicken pox previously and I'm not sure you can you get shingles from Chicken pox? I know it works the other way round though because when I was about 13 I got shingles and gave my Nan chicken pox as she'd never had it before. I'm certainly no doctor so could be wrong though.

Surely putting the ball in low is just being sensible because of the speed he is often travelling at. It's a lot harder to hit in a pin point cross at that speed, playing the percentages a bad low cross is going to cause more problems than a bad one put in the air. We do however need to make sure we've got players busting a gut to be getting to that near post and of course it's no good just doing low crosses but it seems like the right thing to do for me.

It would stop him scoring against us if nothing else.
