This is where I - for a split second - thought we might go more NFL. Want Mitoma? Sure but he's 100 million. Whilst you might have 100 million you can't spend it as that tips you over FFP and you can't just buy them all like a fat lad in a sweet shop. Which top player do you want?
The top boys...
As much as it's fun to laugh at Palace it really is shit. Got a good player? Don't worry he will have a release clause / refuse to play / get the PFA to claim he's in jail.
FFP was starting to bite and now they go abroad instead. The status quo remains.
We kicked off last night passed it back to Pickford who lumped it 70 yards onto a Danish players head. It was like watching Wimbledon.
Southgate and the fat man OUT Hopeless
Baddesley Clinton is nice and there are loads of walks around it. My favourite one also takes in the Navigation and the Boot which are also lovely local pubs. It takes you through the woods at Baddesley which normally have no one in them. Nice part of the world.
So for the country stop off either on the way there or back, the Punchbowl is lovely and about halfway. I live near enough and can recommend it. The food is excellent.
Lapworth is your typical sleepy village with a cricket pitch, a retired colonel plus a national trust place down the road type...
In all the years I've been on here, Timmy was without doubt the biggest **** to pollute the board. Considering all of the weirdos over the years, that is something to be proud of I guess.
How many times have we seen last night's game before? We start well but at some point the opposite manager works out what's going wrong, tweaks it a bit and the balance of play changes. Southgate stands on the sidelines with his hands in his pocket and the fat man stands there looking clueless...
I appreciate the whip argument which really highlights the pointlessness of the whole process to be honest but if someone is local they might at least care even if they end up voting as they are told to. Local MPs that don't care about local issues can get in the bin.
So, for me this has worked completely the other way. Our Labour candidate is local. So local I know her. She's also a massive pain in the arse. Like you, I'm zero to vote Labour but for completely different reasons.
Generally though, I agree with your point. I would like a local not a...
There is no word limit but the one thing I have learnt from work over the years is the shorter the better and sometimes it is ok to agree to disagree. Put it this way, my wife has just called me a "f***ing plum" I've understood her point immediately
Back in the day, I thought "Bubbly* was always the phraseology in a lonely hearts ad for one that preferred a cake to a salad. You know "Single, looking for love, GSOH, Bubbly personality" and everyone thought "nah, overweight pain in the arse"
She's deffo not one I'd apply the Bubbly tag to...
For what it's worth, which even i admit is very little, I've always enjoyed your posts back in the day. More not less please.
I'm sure the grammar police will be along to say fewer.
I don't think anyone that went to *that* game would ever forget the atmosphere there, RDZ included. It's a great fit for him, until it isn't, where it will unravel in the most spectacular style possible.
A great side show to the 24-25 season.
It's a long time since I was a regular drinker in Ruislip (early 90s). I once got told to leave the Bell where the urban myth was someone got shot but refused to get into the ambulance until he'd finished his pint. I do have happy memories of the orchard. Is that the Beefeater in question? It...
