    Yeah you also said it could prove to be our biggest defeat of the season. Good work. I reckon we’ll beat Bournemouth next week. Although we may draw. And I guess there’s also a chance of defeat.

    Waaaay too classy of a guy to do that.

    I think the idea is Deborah (the wife) is a more honest character and has to confess to someone. I think it’s believable she’d confide in someone. That person being her antagonistic and disapproving mother in law is less believable.

    Since March, Leicester have seemingly decided that the aim for this season is not winning the championship and promotion, but to relentlessly troll sha. Leicester 1-2 QPR Leicester 2-1 sha Millwall 1-0 Leicester Plymouth 1-0 Leicester I don’t know if it’s an advisable long term scheme to avoid any premier league sanctions that may come their way, but in the short term it’s a rather funny practical joke.

    This is such a minute bugbear but I remember when she died and the outpouring of grief. They were talking to people on the street and this one bloke said “she wrote the greatest album of the past fifty years”. Ok fine, that’s his opinion. I don’t mind. But I was desperate for the person to ask the question “Oh ok, so who wrote an album pre 1961 that you consider superior?” If you think it’s the best album ever, just say it’s the best album ever. It’s fine. Don’t try and qualify it and make it seem like you’ve given it some thought and are knowledgeable on old music by saying “within the past 50 years”. I think about that newsclip way more than I should.

    He did also save that cat in The Towering Inferno, in fairness.

    Well if we’re just going down the Naked Gun route…

    First drop of alcohol in 100 days today (since New Year’s Eve). Green monkey by Joules, posted before. It’s doing the trick.

    I was listening to a podcast and they were recounting an interview OJ gave in which he was asked what he’d like his obituary to say. Apparently he replied “Well, I’d like to think they’d start by mentioning the football…” Which I think we can agree was a fairly optimistic hope.

    Yeah as a subplot to this I’m looking for Norwich to drop points to give them something to do on the final day. With any luck they’ll already have gone by then.

    Leicester, Leeds and Ipswich. Their last five games, between them they have by my count 25 points from a possible 45. Ipswich contribute the most to that with 10. It’s not stellar form, is it? Like they’re all getting stage fright.

    Is he an unpleasant person @OutByEaster?? I get he won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but unless I’ve missed something I’m not sure I think of him as a bad person. I’m (now) aware of an incident in 2009 in which no charges were made so I can’t really say comment much on that. I guess I’m not sure how much him being the “court jester” is simply because that’s what they want from him. My memory is that Ian Wright once held a similar “comedy” pundit role (although perhaps not quite as boisterous as Richards) and subsequently morphed into a more serious pundit. Just to be clear, I don’t think Richards will follow the same path.

    I reckon I know exactly what it was. The protest group against Lerner had put together a load of A4 signs that I believe were to be shown on the 74th minute. They had previously done “Out the door on 74” with people leaving the game and this was a variant of that. A visual representation of discontent for people who wanted to express ill feeling towards the owner but who also (inexplicably) wanted to endure the game. I was handing out signs that day, I met @markavfc40 (whom I believe was chief organiser that day), @HanoiVillan and @Hev.
  14. Mark Albrighton
    Oh if that’s possible I’ll have that then.

    Some more than others I think it’s fair to say. I’m somewhere in the middle I think. I don’t actively want the English clubs to lose as much as I normally do, but I don’t know if that equates to me wanting them to win. I’m taking a what will be, will be stance, I guess. Edit - I’d rather we just finish fourth. Simpler.
  16. Mark Albrighton
    There’s pessimism and there’s “our season ends tonight” shite. We’re still in a European competition and we can still finish fourth. Or we can still qualify for the Europa through the league which we haven’t done for over a decade. Our season clearly has not ended.

    Disappointing to not see any mention of the hot ball(s) being used in the FA cup draw. I assume it’s because we’re all just accepting that it is actually true and any time two big clubs are drawn together in an early round it is simply done to try and throw us off the scent of the trickery elsewhere. Obviously I’m joking.

    If I was being critical I would say it’s another example of ableism (or whatever) whereby to showcase that the villain is indeed a villain, has to have some disfigurement or disability. The last Bond film received some flak for the villain having facial scars. I do however like the line “It wasn’t me, it was the one armed man!”. It has a nice cadence or something about it. But I was made aware of the line from it being referenced in The Mask.

    It’s just been mostly pissy weather all year, hasn’t it? Not a lot of snow and/or ice which is fine, but just miserable. Today is particularly horrible which is colouring my view on the matter.

    Woke builders with their talking to colleagues and their breakfast not covered in saturated fat while learning history.

    Saying we’re not ready for the champions league so it’s not a bad thing if we don’t qualify is a bit like me deciding that, actually I shouldn’t go on a date with Jennifer Lawrence this weekend because I haven’t quite toned up enough yet, can we make it a couple of months from now, Jen?

    Re reading Kinnear’s Newcastle press conference. It’s rather beautiful in its way.
  24. Mark Albrighton
    Don’t have to explain it to me. I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy of suggesting people go and get some fresh air instead of watching a match that directly impacts the club’s position but then proceeds to pass their time by whining about a result from months ago.
  25. Mark Albrighton
    Didn’t fancy the fresh air then.
