I've caught the odd bit of the tributes to Pep. Their outstanding charges feels sharper after what we've gone through. Other than that, I've avoided the noise from the hacks about us. The next test will be how it feels should 'boro win, then their PL fortunes. Hopefully, I'll not give a jot. As for the wider PL, I've not missed not being in it. Simply the money it brings. And that gets hoovered up, trying to keep up. Looks as though even watching Valenciennes is going to be harder next season. I've my local team to support and connect to. Starts up Cheers Song ... Where everybody knows your name, And not because you're to blame You wanna be where you can see, They don't mention hiding behind a tree.

Yeah. The OP didn't make it clear it was specifically referring to Spygate, rather just your normal status. 🙂

Really sorry to hear that Willo.

If you look closely, there Will Salt behind one of the trees.

I'll be disappointed if this isn't one of the stories of resiliance and perseverance that the club put on the website to help get past this. 🙂

He tried, but couldn't get through the bushes in the garden. Now has to stew about the steak.

We read that as only sticking our heads in the oven for a short time, or until we lose consciousness and have to be dragged out.

We have to give the police negotiators time to get him into a stable enough place to release a statement.

Good optics...

It's a bit personal. But let's just say the hormone treatments are coming along nicely.

Thank [insert deity of your choice, or none which is fine too]! I'm a little worried about the use of fans killing the planet and the cost in an energy crisis. But happy to show my insurers the "windows open" guidance when we get robbed. Also, how much water? Am I limited to apples and bananas? What's in that approved sandwich with the weird lumps coming out of it?

Remember @sadoldgit told us of the dangers of a Parisian heatwave, when he had to walk between the fallen on the streets. I'm delighted they didn't have to face that kind of terror last week, and can only hope it continues for them.

Take That Southampton fans. Quite appropriate.

To think I put a heart emoji, when it turns out eggs are a death sentence! https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2728487

I just find knowing that a demoted Tonda is there tracking my order history, and viewing my eating habits through security footage, a bit off-putting.

Can't they just wait a season? #outtacontroloptimism

My replacement favourite kits...

Obviously, I wouldn't need to sing "Oh when the Villa, go marching in" That would indicate I needed it as some kind of transition chant from another club. Which would be silly, as I've only supported Villa.

I'm sure there's a pic of me as a kid in a Villa shirt, in an awful "look at us playing football in the garden" pose. I'm therefore just delighted to continue to support our success in Europe. Gordon Cowans? Dennis Mortimer? I get all misty eyed just thinking back to my childhood of supporting them. 🙂
