It's Your Round

Sounds like heaven!

Since we’re talking adverts, ALL adverts piss me off. I can’t stand them, it would have to be an amazingly good programme for me to watch anything on ITV Hub and the like. They don’t even seem to make any funny ones like they used to. It’s just the same repetitive crap on an endless repeating cycle until you either mute it, switch it off, or tear your own eyes and ears out with a rusty claw hammer.

After fielding a squad with six players that didn’t play this week, I’ve still managed to pick up 75 points with one more to play tomorrow. Captaining Salah instead of Kane paid off nicely.

He certainly managed to anger most of us.

The latest round of Covid results are back at the care home my wife works at... four residents positive and four staff. They’re already understaffed and struggling, this is going to be a nightmare to manage. The likely source of infection is either from one resident that had been in hospital last week, she was tested on release and has since passed away. Or it’s come in from staff members not taking it seriously. They’ve got their fair share of Facebook conspiracy believing idiots there and I’d not be surprised to know that some don’t think Covid is real.

The only two things worth seeing at a Christmas market. Apart from a Christmas themed bar.

4-0 to Liverpool now. Beating them isn’t for everyone.

It’s definitely typical of something bacon face would do. Them all the sayum them vilers.

After his two goals today, I’m looking forward to a full January transfer window of people suggesting we get Benteke back.

So let’s get this straight, Dean Smith has told his own cousin that he encourages Jack to dive during games. Then Dean Smith’s cousin has told some random blue nose, who is now some kind ITK that can verify Jack’s a diver and it’s all part of the plan.

Thanks, I’d still have been too young to remember it then. Might have to watch it this week, not seen it for years.

My mum remembers them filming that, I seem to think she told me she was there watching with me as a baby, which would make it very early 80’s. I might well have misremembered though.

They can be heartless bitches when they want to be.

I stubbed my little toe on the wardrobe at 2am this morning, toe stuck out at a right angle so pushed it back in and tried to go to sleep. That’s twice this year I’ve broken that toe. The pain’s not terrible but it’s more the fact my shoes hurt and I’ve got a tonne to stuff to get done today. The only sympathy I get from my wife is that I should watch where I’m going.

I don’t like The Beatles...

If she’s not back soon, I’m eating it.

Didn’t the government sell off most of the UK’s fishing rights to the EU, some years back? Seems hypocritical to be complaining about that now.

Nice madras @Follyfoot I’m currently waiting for my missus to hurry the **** up home so I can get stuck into this, chicken Goan curry with spinach. And a paneer version for the lad who’s a veggie.

Don’t get me wrong, I do like mash, but not on a roast dinner. It’s just a filler, the sort of thing you have if you’re short of a few ingredients to bulk it out. I’d rather have another six roasties, stomach space is valuable and shouldn’t be wasted.

Watched a couple of episodes of We Are The Champions, last night. The frog jumping one was quite interesting, to see how serious they take it. It was particularly funny to see the bloke that’s been frog jockeying for 39 years and never won, beaten by a novice kid. I watched the world champion chilli eating contest too. I love chillis but I don’t think I could eat those hybrid Carolina reapers like they did. Although feeling inspired today, I did eat a couple of birds eye chillis and a habanero. Just to see what it was like. Yes, I’ve been bored today.

I’m not surprised to hear the Millwall fans were booing the taking of the knee. They’ve always had a sizeable racist element. To be fair, most football clubs have a portion of fans that are racist rocket polishers. Villa are no different, much as that pains me to say. Football fans are just one cross section of society. It’s the most popular sport in the world, people of all types follow it. The difference with those Millwall fans was they were on telly, whereas you’re average racist dickhead is out of sight, spouting his bollocks in the pub, or on Facebook. To me, the world seems more racist now than it’s ever been in the last 20 years.

Sausage meat stuffing is amazing stuff.

We have Sunday dinner most weeks in our house (perks of being married to a Yorkshire lass) so Christmas dinner has to be something a bit different, but still traditional. So it’s turkey wrapped in bacon, proper roasts done in goose fat, lots of pigs in blankets, some fancy stuffing, sprouts cooked in pancetta and pine nuts, red cabbage, carrots, parsnips, and some other veg, red wine gravy, and plenty of cranberry sauce for me. Nobody else likes it here, they all think it’s jam, the weirdos. Yorkshire puddings, mash, green beans should never be on a Christmas dinner IMHO.

Lovely goal, almost Grealish-esque.
