  1. "In the blue triangle, everything seems strange" "Cadbury is axing its struggling Biarritz brand to make way for Darkness". This was in 1996. Because of course.
  2. Mark Carney, eh? County Road stretching as far as the Northwest Territories.
  3. By which he means the likes of Villa and their ilk need to band together to support a classy and dignified big club, who classily and dignifitally have the interests of the small clubs at heart. Unless there is a TV deal which involves the Big Five reaping all the benefits, in which case the small clubs can fuck right off.
  4. You're no fun. I'm sure Phil McNulty can separate the personal from the professional and have no issue with him being himself on a sock puppet account. Heck, the 'Phil McNulty' account could reasonably viewed as the fake one. However, the towering self-regard displayed in those tweets since he has been caught out deserve - nay, demand - ridicule.
  5. As always, the cover up is worse than the crime. If he had held his hands up and said my bad, everyone would have had a good laugh and forgotten about it within hours. Instead he is now trapped in a lie and you are left wondering: what else is he lying to us about?
  6. My wife thinks the slot where the drip tray on the coffee maker goes into the machine connects to a pipe that drains the tray. That's the only explanation for why she never, ever, empties it. No amount of liquid flowing out of the tray seems to make the penny drop. See also: the congealed gunk on the milk frother. She makes a super cup of tea though.
  7. It's like Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes. You have to commit.
  8. One instance of a typo in Ben Shite's name. You're welcome.
  9. Any time I see/hear a discussion of Ten Jarg's fate at Man Utd, I always think on how there is only one man out there who could whip that dysfunctional club into shape. You can add Arsenal's goalkeeping woes to that discussion. I'm sure Dave was pretty phlegmatic about Liverpool's goalkeeping situation before Alisson on the basis that there wasn't any superstar out there who could transform the fortunes of the Reds. Well, there was and he has. Good luck to Arsenal finding anyone in the same class.
  10. You don't have to watch your team to watch your team.
  11. Maybe he should have hit the ball against the post with such force that it would spin back into the net. So much better than just bundling the ball in at close range like Gakpo did. In fairness, the teeing up of Mo for the first goal earned Darwin a lot of credit for me. I'd like to see him take penalties while Mo is away, the one he scored against LASK was far more accomplished than anything Mo has ever tried.
  12. in 2014, they were the worst. It was only 11 years since they'd won the title and the thought of Liverpool supplanting them as The Big Club That Couldn't drove them insane. Wind forward to 2020 and while the Blues of the Toffee and Moon variety were leading the charge to abolish football, Arsenal fans were notable in their absence, as were Man Utd fans. Yes, this is all anecdotal, I'm sure you can find legions of Gooners being Gooners over the last decade. Overall though, time has taken the edge off them.
  13. Top of the league on New Year's. The bantz merchants will bank that for May.
  14. Her: "should we put all his presents in the Father Christmas sack?" Me: "yes, fine with me." Her: "the rustling might wake him." Me: "he's a heavy sleeper, and we'll make sure we're quiet." Her: "but what if he wakes?" Me: "look, I don't mind. Do what you think is best." Her: "what do you think we should do?"
  15. The handball yesterday was the final nail in the VAR coffin for me. I don't say that out of anger, it didn't cost Liverpool the game - had the penalty been awarded and converted, Mo doesn't score a few minutes later. No, what it encapsulates is the impossibility of VAR giving us better decisions. If that incident had happened before VAR, I'd have said that we needed some kind of review system to help referees. Yet now we have one and not only is it not giving us better decisions, we're being gaslit by the authorities with self-evidently untrue rationalisations (AKA lies) of shitty decisions*. As Browny said in a recent podcast it's not only failing to correct injustice - see that Bony debacle at the Forest-Bournemouth game yesterday - it's creating injustice. We've tried it. It doesn't work. Time to acknowledge the sunk-cost fallacy and get rid. *Please all of this is seperate from the issue of the lack of accountability of PGMOL. That they are marking their own homework would be a problem whether we had VAR or not.
