Not so much frivolous (well, everyone else has gone off topic) but very amusing was this post on the Europa cup final thread.

It wasn’t frivolous for the pigeon, but I loved the gentle descent of his feathers into the west stand, while the peregrine falcon took a late lunch in the rafters at the Wolves game. “He’s one of our own, he’s one of our own, Perry Falcon, he’s one of our own”.

This man once ran a South American country, but that doesn’t mean he’d be better than our current leaders. Hang on though…..

Empire Of The Sun

Leedsius semper excrementum (excuse grade 6 Latin “O” level, 1969).

Someone took my flag before I got to my seat for the Man City game, and that was in the 1901 area! I had nothing to wrap my spare prawn sandwich in (sorry for ending the sentence with a preposition).

My only bit of advice is to give the right hand plant a teensy-weeny bit of Babybio, so it catches up with the left one. My OCD took a right-hook when I saw the bilateral symmetry breaking.

I did notice on Sunday that there was a “technical” injury to a Southampton player. That gave De Zerbi the chance to talk to his players. He picked out Enciso and was trying to explain something to him. I think Julio was a bit confused by the language barrier, and went to Caicedo (I think) to...

Oh good. A thread where we can all say how bad a player is.

“Bottom muffin”:oops:! Before breakfast?

Football gods don’t respond to prayers. It’s human sacrifice, correct underpants, and counting the steps to the concourses that matter.

I blame Breadxit

I counted the steps (I’m a bit like that). It was 140 to the concourse compared to 123 to WSU at the Amex, so it wasn’t that much different. I was feeling quite smug having managed that with ease for someone 70 years old this year (who last went to St James Park as a university student here 50...

Quite right. Social media is full of stories about this topic and I’m convinced the vast majority are made-up click-bait (see also all the social media screen shots of text message exchanges of bosses being horrible to their workers, they’re similarly mostly invented).

VisiCalc was around in the 80s. And accountants used “spreadsheets” decades before computers were invented. They were literally large sheets of paper on which you made your double-entry ledger recordings. The word was then borrowed by the computer industry.

I tried to do my ritual of counting all the steps up to the upper concourse but didn’t get past zero. All my fault.

What have I done. I’ve been a STH for six years now but never been to an away game. Before I knew what I was doing I grabbed a ticket for Wednesday. I’ve booked a train and got some overnight accommodation in a pub in Beeston. What else should I do? Will I get beaten up? Should I wear colours...

I’m not surprised considering the Dutch were playing a school team.

I went to the rearranged England Bulgaria match the day after it was postponed for fog. Three of our party couldn’t go so I tried to tout the tickets outside Wembley (I said life was simpler then). I was offering three £3 tickets for £3 (it was a buyers’ market), shouting “3 tickets for £3”. A...

I remember him scoring our first goal in the Premier league. A sudden gust of wind blew dust into my eyes causing a slight lachrymose reaction.
