Turkish Delight

Does that DavoCKop fella actually know anything? The article is non-committal. Basically saying it's potentially that but not known. I definitely followed him on Twitter at one point and stopped. If I remember right I think it's because he was putting clickbait headlines up.

I saw that but thought he was taking the piss.

I loved hearing that coming through.

As someone else said this wouldn't be last match but could be second last. Imagine a scenario where we won the league and relegated them in the very last top flight match at Goodison Park.

It was my kids that initially motivated me when I first lost weight. My then toddler saying innocently that I looked like the Fat Controller off Thomas the Tank Engine made me realise it was time to do something about it. Good luck. With a bit of motivation and discipline you can do it.

About 7 years ago I was 17 stone and lost 4 stone in total over 9 months (probably one more than I should have). I kept a very strict diet for 6 days a week for 6 months (150g carbs, 50g fat, 100g protein), got to the gym 3 days a week for a mix of weights and cardio and took up running twice a week. With the running I went from barely being able to run round the block to doing 50 minute 10ks within a year. My fitness stayed really strong up until covid. I couldn't find the motivation to work out at home when the gyms closed and never really got back in my stride with the running after being really ill in the initial outbreak. With not exercising I couldn't find the motivation to eat healthy too and broke all my good habits. I've done a lot of weight training in the last 2 years but diet discipline has been off and I'm back up to 16 stone now. I had surgery late last year which stopped me working out too but I'm now on week 2 of the same regime I followed back in 2017 and already feeling good and as motivated as I was back then. It's all tough at the moment while I find fitness again but this flab is going for good this time.

It wasn't his fault she didn't like smints. For him to have got a result there would have been utopia and there can be no qualms with his performance in defeat whatsoever.

He was far from our worst player yesterday although he was poor. I do think he is our biggest question to answer though. He's capable of doing things that nobody else is and brings genuine 'wow' moments but for 2 years now my eyes tell me we look a better team overall when he's not there. He lacks the discipline (and maybe even appetite) to play right back and doesn't have the energy or awareness without the ball our current midfield set up demands. If we shape the team around him he'll be the star but overall as team we may be worse off.

Alisson didn't kick the ball away because Virgil got between him and the ball so he ended up kicking Virgil. Had Virgil dealt with the ball as he should have done then they don't score. It's why he could be seen saying sorry to Ali afterwards. For the 3rd Virgil is also way too casual in closing the ball down and then deflects the shot when he reacts late. On the first there's a few things wrong but Virgil charging out into midfield and leaving space behind him is one of them. Alisson's had better days but this was on way more than just him.

Exactly my thought. We were poor but they aren't a mentally tough team and their crowd get edgy. I think we'd have nicked it if we hadn't gifted them it but that 2nd goal got them all up and we lost our way completely.

We had a definite one not given at Stamford Bridge this season too.

De Zerbi's results against shit teams who play a low block worry me most. His teams get ripped apart on the counter by them often and he'd face that a lot more here. I also see nothing in how Thomas Frank sets Brentford up to make me think he'd work well here. He'd need to set us up in a way he hasn't got the experience of implementing. The way Brentford play wouldn't work here.

If they both get the same deduction they'd only be two points behind Forest and Sheffield United and only four behind Burnley. I can see them making that up easily.

I think Forest getting a points deduction with them would enable them to stay up if they do get more taken off them. I do fancy Luton to stay up at this point but Forest look so bad I can't see how they stay above them.

This was already a near impossible thread to masturbate to. It's not getting easier.

The Bournemouth manager?

He's definitely not the perfect answer but at least he has big club experience and has won the Champions League. Also, any Bayern team would be struggling against what Leverkusen have done so far this season.

It's hard to say for certain. I just think that Brighton come up against a low block less regularly than we do and are easily ripped apart when they do. He'd have it nearly every week here and I wouldn't be willing to risk it just being the players.

I don't want de Zerbi. Brighton are wide open to the counter by any shit team that wants to play deep and break on them and it's a weakness that's never improved. He's not the level we need. Other than Xabi nobody is really other than maybe Tuchel. Whoever it will be will be some steps down on Jurgen.

I gave my kids' membership up as we tried for years with no tickets. I'm on ACS with my mate and likely to lose access to the cup games if I drop off in the hope of getting them a game in one of those. Not really sure how kids are supposed to get access to games these days other than through someone you know when they start with zero credits. They're 11 and 9 now and have been to one league game each. I'd been to dozens by that age.

The bit I loved most about his game today was a challenge on Kluivert just before half time. Can't remember what happened after but we had a decent situation from it. Kluivert had just left something on Bradley off the ball and Macca took the ball clean off him while hitting him with good force with his body. Just something to let him know he wasn't going to have his own way with the physical stuff but in a controlled way. Thought he was excellent all round today.

Nobody that attactive.

Haha I didn't say it was recently.

Had an issue with my foreskin splitting quite often during sex and got circumcised just before new year. Currently halfway through week 3 of around 4-6 where I can't have a wank or do any shagging while it heals. I'm also on antibiotics for a UTI picked up following the surgery and have to sit down to go for a piss as it goes everywhere. Fortunately I seem to be past the point where getting a hard on leads to me to bleed from the wound but the stitches haven't dissolved properly yet as they should have done so I'll probably need to have them taken out next week. Had more enjoyable starts to a year.

I love the optimism about their bargaining power on the new stadium if they have to sell it. The new owner of the ground will obviously want to pay top whack for it with it being 'the best stadium ever' and will then be happy to make huge losses by negotiating a bad rent deal with Everton as part of doing that. There's no chance whoever bought it would want to pick it up on the cheap and fleece them on their rent because these companies never want to do anything like that. They'll just be in it for the prestige.
