Unless you wear them on your face, you're still in trouble.

When I was a kid, playing for the school team, I used to come up with daft ideas as tactics. Conceded an indirect free kick in the box? Have half the team hanging from the crossbar, waving their legs to block it. Long free kick into the box? Get on a team mate's shoulders to win the header. My greatest plan was a sort of rolling maul where everyone encircles the ball and trundles forwards with it. Weirdly, none of my ideas were employed.

I think I've still got one of those shirts. I put it on once every few years and then remember just how shite it is, it has almost no redeeming features.

I'll be there.

If we can wear hats I'm in too.

I hope so. I look forward to being a strange old man rather than a strange youngish one, it's somehow more acceptable.

Mad old people. I got collared outside the chippy the other day by a googly eyed old lady with a beard, who went on to tell me with great incredulity that a fella in the bookies put £10 on the National. "£10, can you believe it? What a risk... I put 25p on each way" and then she wandered off.

That'll do.

Have a good one.

If you ever need some erotic match reports I'd be happy to oblige.

I'd rather Roma in the semi, then Bayern in the final. Dunno why, but I reckon we could take them in a one off game. Madrid can fuck off, they shouldn't even be afforded the opportunity to be bummed by us.

Is right. That anyone would deny this is worrying me that our planet may be beyond the point of saving. Nuke 'em all Don, they're lost already.

How so?

Can, Sturridge, Markovic, Moreno, Bogdan and Migs leaving is quite conceivable, but we usually find it tough to get anything other than loans for one or two players. Ward could be on his way too, as two youngish keepers rarely settle in the same squad. Markovic is the new Aquilani and will be loaned until his contract expires.

There are so many good moments in it, it just needs a quality fan edit to take out some of the shite like that and Luke throwing the lighsbabre away for a cheap laugh.

"You're very thorough with the inside leg measurement aren't you?"

Looks alright. At this stage I've come to accept that Disney are going to be making most of these films into Guardians of the Star Wars Galaxy type things given the huge success of the Marvel blueprint. Once I got past the laboured attempts at humour in TLJ I quite enjoyed it.

I like Arnautovic, but what I particularly like about him is he's not in our side.

Reading the Celebrity Tits Out thread and realising not only do I not know half the modern actresses, but my first reaction to most pictures is "Look at the state of that room". I clean up if I'm putting a picture on gumtree, so I'd assume flashing your axe wound would at least call for picking socks up off the floor.

He's playing Monopoly and has just landed on Rodgers' hotel.

Obligatory Half Man Half Biscuit response

Am I the only one to think the fella looks a bit like Peter Ustinov playing Charlie Chan?

I think it's the angle of Mo's run that gives him the benefit of the doubt. A linesman isn't like the TV cameras, they can't take a snapshot and decide, they go more off movement and what happens over a second or so after the ball's played. Mo runs at a slight angle, whereas the defender is going straight, and a split second after the ball's played there's nothing in it. Kyle Walker is indeed shite.

We should get on the phone to Coutinho and find out how his back injury was miraculously cured.

Spent the day making Lego guns with my 6 year old nephew. It's impossible to do without making the sound effects and occasionally diving in slow motion. His fired lasers and had a deflector shield, whereas I had a back up piece and Lego knuckle dusters.
