Does anyone else think Delia Smith is sound? Makes boss food, likes a bevvy, loves her footy and espouses left wing views.

 

Made up for her and Norwich there.

 

Left wing views?

[Faustus]

Comparatively speaking, Jairz. She's not exactly Lenin with a whisk but anyone who slags the Tories and throws their full weight behind the NHS is okay in my book.

[Jairzinho]

*pfft*

 

I had no idea that she'd espoused any political views at all, to be honest. 

[ElishaScottBC]

She's on the left wing? Ahh that's sorted then, for years I wondered 'where are you?!?!'

Veteran football club owner Dave Whelan will be immortalised with a statue outside Wigan Athletic FC, it has been revealed.

 

The charismatic businessman and former professional stood down in March as chairman of the club after more than 20 years at the helm - and was replaced by his 23-year-old grandson David Sharpe.

 

Mr Whelan, 78, who remains the owner of the League One club, will also now become club life president, bosses at the DW Stadium have announced.

 

Dave Whelan saidThe club said the plans for a statue outside the stadium would honour his ‘enduring legacy to the town’ and be a ‘fitting tribute to the man who presided over the transformation of the club’.

He'll be holding a plaster cast in one hand, the FA Cup in the other and be having a right old bloody laugh with a group of utterly horrified 'Chingalings'.

Cracking start to the Europa League final. Atkinson turns down a stonewall pen for Sevilla, Dnipro counterattack and ex-Blackburn man Kalinic nods in for 1-0.

[Gym Beglin]

I wish people would watch games like tonight and remind themselves in six months time about what a great night it would be to get in a Europa League Final next year.

 

I'd take a Europa League Final over a CL semi final any day of the week.

The way we're shaping up the Johnstones paint trophy final would be a bonus for us.

Agreed. English teams not taking the Europa League seriously can go in the shitness of modern football thread.

At least it provides something to throw bucketfuls of tory-infested shit at for the pissed-up locals on the way home or to the local pie shop, (presuming they're not the same place)

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I think I've enjoyed the Europa more than the CL this year, Dnipro have been good to watch, very organised.

[El Rojo]

Half time entertainment tonight is our squad doing the Kolo Toure dance across the pitch.

[dickie mint]

Dick Advocaat has spewed it,chance for Brenden there.

[El Rojo]

Hopefully we follow this new brave new European fad of playing recognised strikers. Looks an ingenious way of improving scoring rates.

[Faustus]

I'm probably in a minority, but I'd like us to have a good go at the Europa League next season. Don't get me wrong, the group stages are shite and it's an absolute ball ache going to fucking Moldova and Azerbaijan, but it's well worth having a go if you get to the knockouts.

 

I think it's only really in this country where it has a bad rep. A good run and some good performances could go some part into improving our rep after what's been a frankly embarrassing European campaign. It did wonders for Ged's team in it's previous guise, even if the quality of teams was generally better back in 2001.

[El Rojo]

What a game this is. 2-2.

[Trumo]

As a neutral I like to see a goal-fest so it's been a decent game so far. The pitch seems to have a very slick surface and a few players are struggling to keep their feet, but the game is flowing quite nicely. Sevilla have had most of the possession as expected, but Dnipro aren't exactly camping out in front of their own box either.

[old skool tom]

It'd be decent competition if the 'losers' didn't enter and domestic games weren't moved to Sundays.pile of shite currently for me

 

Good game tho and what did we see in this Konkoplyanka or whatever his name is?

 

He's basically a white 24 yr old Sterling,quick but shite end product

[Redder Lurtz]

You're such a dick Atkinson. Wanker.

[Redder Lurtz]

Jesus that collapse was horrible. Hoe the poor bugger is ok.
