  1. I switched to a card holder about 5 years ago. I bought one in time for a wedding so as to be appear a bit smarter (best man so a little bit more on display than usual). I then of course was given a card holder as a gift by the groom. Fortunately the gift was better than the one I bought myself. Still not a big fan of loose change in my pockets, but it’s not a regular occurrence.
  2. Great concept, first couple of seasons were really enjoyable. But then I recall it going kinda rogue and basically ignoring the driving force of the show (i.e. Earl and his list) and losing its way. I remember him and Randy having to go to college for one of the tasks and Randy finding himself in a class teaching the theory of evolution. Randy - “Did you know we were monkeys before we were people?” Earl - “No. What were we before monkeys?” Randy - “I don’t know. I don’t even remember being a monkey…”
  3. I have the same concern, however I do think Norwich will turn up. Whether they get a result, that’s another matter. But I don’t think they’ll throw the game as such.
  4. I have this sneaking suspicion that it won’t age well. And I’m not exactly talking about the content of the jokes (although that may well prove to be the case). I kinda mean just generally. I do like it - although I haven’t watched it in years. I actually think one of the best things it did was how it captured suburbia. I feel like I actually know where they live.
  5. In the 90’s my perception was the cup winners cup was considered a bigger deal than the UEFA cup. How much of that was due to Nayim…from the halfway line, I don’t know.
  6. That would also be me - top of this page. <nonchalantly puts on the funky funky eye patch to further enhance my cool only to lose my depth perception> Yes, The Smoking Room is a bit of a lost little gem - if I recall correctly, haven’t watched it in years. I’m a big fan of shows/films that are set in one location, I like Peep Show so Robert Webb being in it was a factor and I also enjoy Paula Wilcox’s presence in things so it ticked a few boxes. Whether or not it was ever going to continue, I don’t know but of course the smoking ban coming in didn’t exactly help matters.
  7. Liverpool fading in the way they have has kinda thrown my thinking a little off. It was simpler when I was just writing off both their games against us and spurs as wins for them. Now I’m a bit more “well, we could get a draw, Spurs might do them again…”.
  8. Five more points needed to avoid any last day nervy shenanigans I reckon. I will feel substantially more confident in that estimate if Spurs lose tomorrow. The injuries are a real problem though.
  9. Most of the fault is on Carlos there. Olsen takes his share of the blame, but it’s Carlos who’s decided to try that pass rather than just booting it away.
  10. Norwich obviously won’t want to lose the game. Strictly speaking they can still lose and remain where they are, even with a Hull win over Plymouth. Which would obviously be ideal for sha. But yeah, fair enough, Norwich should just have enough cause to turn up and try and get a reasonable result.
  11. Annoying that Hull drawing was the ideal result for them. Means that Hull still have half a chance of the play offs so will be up for it against Plymouth but Hull are unlikely to catch Norwich so they won’t (or shouldn’t) feel the pressure to get something purely because of Hull. It’s going to come down to how much Norwich want to avoid Leeds in the semi finals (they lost to them twice this season, drew on both occasions with Southampton).
  12. Maybe try the pre match thread for that game? This thread is for champions league qualification.
  13. Yep I think what they should do is use try and win their next home game at a canter, get them properly in the right mind set to send Klopp off with a win in their final, but also rest a load of players for the game in between those two home fixtures. Wouldn’t want any injuries for that final game. I definitely haven’t checked who they have next and whether the above suggestion would help us or not. Honest.
  14. Recent home and away records. Huddersfield last 10 home games W4 D2 L4 WLLDLWWDLW The wins were against Millwall, Sunderland Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn. Draws against Plymouth and Leeds. Defeats to Coventry, WBA, Hull and Boro. sha last 10 away games W1 D2 L7 DLLLDLLLWL The win was against Stoke. Draws to Rotherham and Hull. Defeats to Leicester, QPR, Millwall, Ipswich, Sheffield Wednesday, WBA and Leeds. My take away is that Huddersfield are a lot better at home than sha are away. Huddersfield are relatively competent at getting something against a team around their position. This is just for info. It unfortunately doesn’t factor in jamminess.
