Going to see him tomorrow, he's in Winnipeg for two days, smallish venue- about 2000 seats or so- never been to it, I got a ticket 32 rows from the stage. He spent part of his youth in Winnipeg; the house where he lived is about five blocks from my place, and more importantly, same street as my local. I drive a bus and one of the routes goes by it. So, yeah, Neil and I are best mates practically.

Bob was a legend, an absolute legend in the date thread. Those of us single lived through him, we worshipped him, we whispered his name with an emphasis on the spunk part. And seeing this avocado obsession and a ficking tortilla....on a breakfast.... this is man bun behaviour. I would rather have seen him soaked in his own piss eating a Greggs vegan sausage roll over a heat vent than this. Bob, please get the help you so desperately need.

I went back for another go yesterday. The above still applies, 9/10. A few minor differences - the sausages were cooked a little better this time, the eggs done separately (rather than 2 to a pan) and the mushrooms seasoned better (pretty much perfectly).

Three years in and I've just picked up Leeds CAMRA Pub of the Month which is a fairly big deal for us.

You should change your name to Bob Cuntbreakfast.

I rest my case.

This thread is getting out of hand. People are complimenting Breakfasts. Outrageous. Time to rip this to shreds. Beans all over the egg. Bin it. Knife and fork the wrong way round, warm bread cut diagonally, a scab on one piece of bread, why have you let a dog curl out a turd on the plate, didn't know tongue was part of a full English, what the fuck is that below the top bread to the left? Eggs and mushrooms looks alright.

Nice, like to see you branching out from Ligue 1

Fair play to Arsenal for giving it a go.

Fuck Everton and their “It’s the taking part that counts” assumption we’re in any way invested in them getting a good result. I fully expect them to be neither willing nor able to even keep the score down against City, the ludicrous nomarks, and am perfectly happy with that outcome. You can’t expect any more than a grunt from a pig, and whether we win the league or not will be absolutely nothing to do with such an irrelevant club.

I think part of it also stems from how unbelievably dull it must be to be an Everton fan. They're never seriously in danger of being relegated or getting a top 4 place. They've been in just one final in the last 24 years and their attempts in European competition have been laughable. Even when they do do something slightly noteworthy, they're utterly overshadowed by LFC- e.g. Moyes getting 4th, then us winning one of the greatest European finals ever- or they end up a laughing stock- e.g. Moshiri coming in and them then wasting tens of millions on dross. They're a mediocre club desperately trying to stay relevant by distinguishing themselves with that People's Club, FC class and dignity, Corinthian nonsense. No wonder their a fair portion of their fanbase appear unhinged and have to fixate on LFC, they have nothing else to look forward to.

I've no doubt statistically it makes more sense to hold onto the ball and look for a better shooting opportunity. However, it makes us predictable. An inside forward, for instance, has to try beating a fullback on the outside a couple of times to mix things up and plant a seed of doubt. You can tell the ones who'll only ever cut inside, and they are easily shut out. We shouldn't just be Coutinhoing shots into shins at every opportunity, but we do pass up the chance whenever there's a clear sight of goal from distance. Defenders drop off and just shuffle from side to side, like it's Space Invaders. It doesn't have to fly into the top corner to be effective either. It creates space when defenders are drawn out. Plus, we've got some of the quickest forwards in the league, both in terms of ground covered and mental sharpness, who are capable of reacting first to anything that comes back off the keeper. Most defences that nullify us are made up of less mobile slab heads who're slow to react to the unexpected. Origi following in VVD's up and under being one notable example. They didn't expect Pickford's mistake, but watch Origi, he was moving as soon as it was hit. Tldr: mix it up a bit.

Used to have about six CD’s in the car. Now I use Spotify and utilise the extra space in the glove compartment for multi-packs of Extra Strong Mints, a phone charger and a rape kit.

Fewer goals but all direct from throw ins.

Passed my first placement on Tuesday. Meeting expectations in most areas good in two. Finish in this school next week, two weeks off to write another essay, two weeks back in uni with tons of assessments and then straight into my next placement. Its fucking intense. Hardest but most rewarding thing I've ever done. I don't know how i used to get myself out of bed to sit in an office every morning. I've not had a single day, even when I've had a 'mare (which had happened) that I've regretted jacking my job in to do this.

If playing West Ham is a "banana skin" we're fucked. They're shit, and we should be beating them comfortably.

Hull and Newcastle are the least of our concerns.

To think of the shit I got mentioning pineapple fritters. This country.

I'm generously allowing them a win and a draw from their 3 away games. 5 straight defeats wouldn't be a massive shock. They are, after all, shite. They could easily find themselves in the bottom 6 after 30 games. "Honestly, I'm genuinely concerned for them."

I can do home made bananas at that rate.

This mornings effort might also get slated, but here goes... omelette with mushrooms, peppers, onion, bacon and spinach and cheese with a side of avocado (avo), and a decent drop of Tabasco again. yum.

I have no love for physical media at all. I think I might even be opposed to it at this point.

You don't have to own a stadium to own a stadium but they did own it until they were evicted for not paying the rent.

Take a golf club and a needle instead... The iron the stitch and the wardrobe

It is a good technique. Michael Hutchence swore by it.

And a small but brilliant piece in Angel Heart as well. Love De Niro.

The anti-EU feeling is all Blair's fault for not putting limits on mass migration like everyone else did except Sweden and Ireland. Before that the EU didn't touch people's lives in any tangible way they were able to articulate. Th EU expanded East, partly to hoover up cheap labour and embrace globalisation still further, partly probably at the behest of the yanks to prise them from Russia's sphere of influence. Overnight ten countries of comparable power, wealth and economic status became a two or three tier alliance of 28 where mass migration became a real thing. People didn't like it but were told by their betters they were thick and racist and they should suck it up. It was compounded further by growing resentment over austerity. Cameron opened the government's legs and exposed its balls, and the people who felt that resentment got the chance to kick it in the bollocks. And they took a running kick at that. Lots of people and factors are complicit, but it looks like we're back to calling people racist and thick instead. Could work.

Mook with his kid?

Let the fuuume begin, Brands has crossed the line.

They were never going to lose to this shower of gutless shite. We beat them 5-1 without breaking sweat

I'd make a joke about it being less depressing than watching Arsenal defend here but that would be to obvious.

A Shitcoatigan

We have to win and win with a bit of authority. Do the same against bournemouth and get our shit together for the horrible trip to united. There will be games we will drop points. This can't be one of them.

I’m sure whoever succeeds Silva can’t wait to be hailed as a visionary genius for about two weeks at a level in no way disproportionate to the reality of the impact any manager there can ever feasibly make, before swiftly becoming a hate figure in no way disproportionate to the reality of the impact any manager there can ever feasibly make. I suppose the bonus is nowadays you only have to put up with the mentalists for about 6-9 months before getting your severance cheque.

Can tell you've played hide the sausage before

A textbook example of why we should ban the bean. The gravitational pull of the beans has fucked with the nearest egg, rendering it inedible. The rest of the sorry plate orbits the menacing central bean vortex. The toast is trying to escape on both sides but it's too late... It's like they asked John Squire to throw it onto the plate for his latest LP cover.

The reason I think many move away from physical media is one purely of space. Two of my mates run their own indie record label (White Sulfur) and one of them has had to give up 2 rooms in his house to vinyl, one for the business stock and one for his own personal collection.

Only if you let an idiot or a woman near them.

Bob's breakfast just doesn't know what it is. I'm all for an alternative to a fry-up but at least think about what it's supposed to be! At the risk of being too hipster, avocado on good, ideally sourdough, toast with a couple of poachies (proper fucken runny) and plenty of salt and pepper is great. Adding bacon is also great (the saltiness works perfectly with avocado) but beans, fried eggs and tortillas? Not for me, Clive.

Incredibly bad form -- no one who posts a brekkie should get negged, it is the threads lifeblood -- they should get ripped to shreds - not negged.

Couldn’t give a toss where they are from as long as our numbers are good. They are.

The last few pages of food almost certainly break international law.

Wolves being seen as a sympathetic underdog story. They've got Chinese owners and the most powerful agent in world football redirecting players to them. They're poison like PSG and Man City but on a lower scale.

If you are going to flip my egg, I will flip you. I'll flip you for real

Thats the first transgender meal I've ever seen.
