  1. Lawro's laughable sometimes.

    His prediction doesn't bother me at all, it's not a bad shout. What does bother me is statement about Rudy being the standout of our transfers, it's almost as if he just looks up the top scorers table  and assumes that he's been our best player from that.

    Anyway, please play Gil today. But more importantly, please win Villa, it's been too long since I thoroughly enjoyed a weekend.

  2. The insistence of pundits and others in the game in talking about a team's "philosophy".

    Not once have I heard it explained what a given team's philosophy is, only that they and the manager have one. I assume the general themes are playing well and scoring more goals than the opposition. 

    It's like they're dressed as Socrates and Plato discussing the "Republic".

  3. Tricky one Rugeley (I would quote but my phone seems to hate it). I've got hazard in my team and have been considering removing him too, can't bring myself to do it though. 

    I have an detrimental affect on players once they're on my team. 

    Most recently and to my shame, I took out Gestede before the Liverpool game and replaced him with free scoring Wilson from Bournemouth. We won't see him for six months. 

    I've told my Man U mates that Martial is on my shopping list to piss them off.

  4. I'm fairly sure I read that you would have to drink around 100 bottles of becks blue to equal the alcohol content of a regular becks.

    I do like the odd becks blue when I'm trying to avoid the booze. 

     

  5. Think "From Russia with Love" is one of the picks from the Connery bonds. Very underrated and Robert Shaw is a good villan.

    Never really got into the roger moore films, but "nobody does it better" is the best bond tune.

    Brosnan was bond whilst I was growing up, so I also identify him in the role initially. Likewise GoldenEye is very good and Famke Janssen is quite possibly one of the reasons why I'm attracted to beautiful brunettes who I know will eventually crush me (emotionally if not physically).

  6. As it happens Meath, I was thinking of that "J. R. Hartley" advert yesterday and wondered how many would get the reference now.

    A couple of years ago at work, I was being compared to Victor Meldrew by my one colleague and our 18 year old trainee had literally no idea who he was.

  7. He was also best defender of the weekend in Premier League according to them as well

    Either he is brilliant or he has a mate running the website ;)

    Ha! Yeah to be fair they do seem to have a bit of a crush on him. 

  8. So much better tonight, it really felt like that if a second goal was coming it would be from him.

    Work rate is very good, I saw him gave the ball away in their half and sprinted all the way back until it was clear. 

    Also, (and this is not an attack on Gabby or anyone else), if you asked me which of our players this derby game mattered to the most, based on tonight's performances, Ayew and Grealish would be right up there. 

    Good stuff Jordan!

  9. Whos on the bench? Want to watch but the sickness I felt after Saturday might come back. Can I leave the game alone all night for fear of being pissed off for the rest of the week????  What to do..... 

    Subs- Bunn, Hutton, Richardson, Ayew, Sanchez, Gil, Grealish.

  10. Standard practice to give cash instead of presents at weddings these days.

    I can see how some could consider it rude, but I think it makes sense and at least a cash present removes the headache of what to buy them. 

    Otherwise it's a present off a pre determined list from John Lewis or Bhs.

     

  11. I would suggest "Diner" as a pretty watchable coming of age film. 

    Some good early performances from Kevin Bacon, Mickey Rourke, Daniel Stern and Steve "Police Academy" Guttenberg.

    Decent soundtrack too.

  12. First things first, fair play to Leicester, they wanted it more.

    Another three points thrown away, another bloody late goal, we really have an issue with that, we have done for years.

    Bacuna looked terrible, I'm normally fairly supportive but I lost count of the number of times his choices and mistakes put us under unnecessary pressure. 

    Gil and Grealish simply have to start together (why did Gil have to come off??). 

    Same old, same old.

  13. As a general rule, even if I think it's a bit rubbish, I'd just do whatever activities are on the stag.

    However, if it was involving heights or something else I wasn't happy with, I wouldn't give a shit if I was the best man, I wouldn't take part.

    In my experience, activities are normally discussed well in advance and if anyone has any reservations they just speak up.
