Very disappointing, but hey ho - we’ve all seen much worse I suppose. Still no idea, really, about FH. Subs didn’t seem to change the game, but then what could he do about players who don’t take their chances? No doubt it’ll all become clearer in time. Until then - f*** it!
Nice, nice. But… call me a bluff old traditionalist, surely the song must be (to the tune of “Go West”):
Brajan, and Hove Albion
Brajan, and Hove Albion
Brajan, and Hove Albion, etc.
Also, why the need for a spacial juxtaposition - behind the shed? Next to it? Underneath the washing machine? This is madness. I'm afraid none of these options appear truly viable, and I am reluctantly beginning to wonder if this isn't in some way not 100% factually accurate. I know, it seems...
I did wonder if, latterly, his apparent unwillingness to deviate from his style of play might have been less dogmatism and more "imagine if I had access to better players, your kind of players, imagine how great this would look" - a kind of shop-window display for The Big Boys. Too cynical...
Bozza, I can’t add anything of practical value to what’s already been said on here, except to add my voice to the “look after yourself” thing. My father had a stroke a few years ago and has vascular dementia; living abroad I haven’t shouldered the main day-to-day burden, my sister has. She is a...
Magpies, certainly; also terrestrial predators such as rats, foxes, badgers, cats, dogs (more of a threat in terms of nesting disturbance really, but still)
Talk about swings and roundabouts: Haaland out (hurrah!), but Foden in (boo!). Hey ho, let’s hope we rediscover a bit of the old RDZ-fuelled oomph, turn Citeh over big time, and kick start our glorious charge up the table.
Yeah, I know. But a man can dream.
Conside me derailed! Partly it’s about the pubs and bars which serve it, I think. Well-kept Harvey’s is surely god’s own beer, unsurpassed in its delicious goodness, a perfect, slightly floral session bitter. Less than well-kept, however, and it can be a thin, vinegary pint of murky, satanic...
Yes… them. Can’t quite put my finger on the name, just now - something about Alice, was it? Malice? I have a mental image of some random player sitting on the grass whining because he really, really wanted a penalty, and a really baffled old geezer looking on bemused. And some rather spoilt...
Once again, Occam’s razor provides us with the answer. The real difference is alphabetical. In Western cultures such as our own the alphabet is universally conceptualised as progressive and linear (think of idioms such as “from A to Z” to express an entire process from initiation to...
I still don’t understand, though: how could one be expected to know that birds, especially relatively small ones such as swifts, are flying high? It’s in precisely these circumstances that they become hard to see. And - night? That seems unrealistic to me, unless the speaker had access to...
I'm good with a draw tonight and an 8-0 thrashing of that lot up the road. Enhanced by an unexpected meteor streaking in fiery splendour across the Sussex sky - and landing smack on their hoodie-clad, banner-crayoning primary school outing as they form a crocodile holding hands to walk to the...
My (uninformed) take is that RDZ will quite likely want to move on after this season anyway; we have a similar manager recruitment strategy to player recruitment, after all, and I doubt he sees us as a long-term commitment. If the Liverpool job is offered him I should imagine he’d be delighted...
