  1. Evangelos Marinakis unhappy with the premier league? But he seems like such a reasonable, non temperamental sort of chap
  2. They’re all like that though. And unfortunately I suspect a lot of football supporters have it in them to be that blasé over that level of success. I remember watching a bit of Arsenal fan tv and I guess they were talking about Wenger (or maybe it was Arteta) and whether he should be in charge and in the pro column was a recent FA cup win, to which Robbie (the main guy) said “Yeah, but the FA cup…”. And it was said in a manner that was akin to the level of enthusiasm and appreciation one might display having received complimentary water at a restaurant. Like it was a given. **** ‘em.
  3. I don’t think it’s been mentioned on here but the red lion in the jewellery quarter has been bought by Joules. Last time I was there it did feel like it wasn’t quite reaching its potential. Pleased that Joules have a spot in the area, nice to have another good option.
  4. I know I’ve said before but I’ve been in pubs, jukebox already blaring, so I take charge and if I choose “Make Me Smile” it really does the trick. I’ve watched women in their twenties suddenly realise that, actually, they know this song and go giddy for it. A solo, the pauses in the song, the ooh la las. A winning combination.
  5. Can’t remember if I’ve posted the thought on here but I often wonder, if I had the choice, would I rather live to 80 - guaranteed to clock out then, but also guaranteed to be very healthy both physically and mentally (let’s say I look and act like I’m 60, when I’m 79). Would I choose that, or would I rather a guarantee of living to say 105 but I’m going to age normally - when I’m 98, man do I look and feel like I’m 98 - and no guarantees of avoiding dementia or whatever. Basically a simple hypothetical of quality of life v longevity of life and how much I would sacrifice the one for the other.
  6. Just looked out the window. As far as I can see, the sky hasn’t fallen yet.
  7. It’s easy for me to think this being a few years off that sort of age, but I do tend to think anything after three score and ten it is a bit of a lucky dip. That doesn’t mean to say someone can’t feel vital at 75 or feel like they haven’t got life yet to live…but I would like to think at that age I could adopt a philosophical view and think “Well there were people I went to school with who didn’t make it past their mid twenties” so I couldn’t have too many complaints. Sadly that isn’t a completely made up thought, when I was in my mid twenties, three people who were in my school year all died within about 6-12 months of each other. As it gets said, getting older is better than the alternative.
  8. I hope it’s six. But four points from West Ham and Wolves would be very welcome.
  9. “I can see YOU…YOU can see ME!!!!” Every time without fail I laugh when he says that.
  10. A week on Friday. If it was this Friday, I’d back QPR. I don’t know when Mowbray is due back. I’m conscious of debating what is ultimately a trivial matter of our local rivals being relegated and factoring in a man’s health while doing that…but if he was able to return for the end of the month, that might change things for me. It is a huge game, regardless.
  11. Hmmm. They lost - pleasing. Still not in the bottom three - displeasing. On balance, I’m ok with that. I think. I have the sense that they were aiming for 3/4 points from these two home games. Managed to pick up zero. Results wise they are on the worst run compared to the likes of Huddersfield, Wednesday, QPR… I think it will be down to Mowbray. If he is able to return, they’ll survive. If he doesn’t, I’d be inclined to think it might actually happen.
  12. Norwich doing well, don’t want them cementing a play off place before the final game ideally, resting all their players for the play offs and giving sha an early friendly. I know we rested players when we went up, but it was against already crowned champions (Norwich, again) so it meant nothing.
