SNSUN

I met my wife in 2005 on the BBC 606 site. (Now defunct, don't blame me.) It was pretty random, but apparently we're not the only couple that met on that site. The only trouble is I'm now married to a Norwich fan, just my luck I couldn't have met a Saint. :-(

Do you wear 36" or greater belt size? Yes, just, but I'm figuring it could be more after Chrimbler dinners :-( Have you paid more than £7.50 for haircut in last 5 years? Yes, but my hairdresser has massive knockers so it's worth it. List your top 10 albums, was any of them released this millennium? No, in fact I don't think I've ever bought 10 albums. Have you had sex with more than one lady this year? No, just the wifey. (In case she's spying) When did you last wash your car by hand Owned my car 4 years, washed it once under pressure from wife. When did you last go to garden centre Sunday, get in. When Barry said Allegro just now did you know what that looked like without googles I thought it was a type of musical speed.

I don't know enough about Boruc to vote for him, his record at previous clubs is good but already he's out of favour here. Gazzaniga looks error prone and while he may have a good future, he's not ready at this level yet. I also don't see us signing a new keeper in January, which leaves Davis. (Although I hope we do target another keeper in January.)

Wait...Scouser, big hair, tash... they're mocking Nigel from his goalkeeper days. (A photo of which is an avatar on this site I believe)

I spent a lot of money and effort buying up my Chrimbler presents this year, I can't wait to see the faces of my nearest and dearest. That's if they're not melted off tomorrow, of course.

That's it, twas in the Metro on Tuesday I believe. He's a big Liverpool fan though apparently, so if they become interested we could struggle.

There's no doubt he's come on leaps and bounds as a footballer, he's still not the complete winger we need long term though, and he's reaching his peak age. If we can get a couple of million for him, and go out and sign someone even better, then that's good business. On his current form he's worth more to us than £2 million, although not with his contract so close to expiry. Even though Punch has made amends with Cortese, would he rather be at another club where he doesn't have to see him? If he can maintain his good form, I do hope he signs a new contract. Will we put in another bid for Matt Phillips though?

Reindeers are for life, not just for Christmas. (Oh wait, that's dogs. Meh it applies to reindeers too.)

They'd be docked thousands.

If there isn't at least one person dressed as Father Christmas in the stands, I'm going to throw a mild hissy fit.

On topic of the thread, I'm sure I read recently we'd been linked again with Kjaer, but I'm buggered if I can find the link.

This debate comes along every year and I maintain that Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin' Stevens is the ultimate Christmas song. It's cheesy, it's fun, it's upbeat and it's about Christmas. It's hard not to like it. My wife's favourite is Jona Lewie, Stop The Cavalry. Our favourite as a couple is It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year by Andy Williams. We have a good dance around the lounge whenever we hear that.

Had we not got promoted from League One when we did, we may have lost Lallana, Morgan and Lambert. Had we not got promoted from the Championship last season, as well as potentially losing those three, we could've lost Cork too, and though we didn't know what effect he'd have had, even Shaw could've been snapped up, as Arsenal were interested. Being in the Premier League (and hopefully staying here) allows us to keep these players if we wish and then strengthening their team mates with even better. Rory Delap's record transfer would perhaps never have been broken had we not made it back to the Prem. Don't get me wrong, I love the Championship, I think it's exciting and competetive and is my favourite League. But football is a financial game these days, and there's only one place to be for money.

Gunners to win but have three players sent off and a few injuries that will help us in the new year.

Just before the Olympics, Mike Brown promised all train operators currently employed by LUL would have their jobs until retirement if they wanted them. That's a lot of sitting in driverless cabs doing nothing. The fact is, if the Underground wants to keep up with modern times, they have to go driverless, but the three unions are very powerful, because of the disruption to England's capital city they can employ. There'll be a lot fewer staff in the future anyway, which will benefit all Londoners and Tourists. Me? Well my job is fairly secure at present, in that I work in one of the busiest ticket offices on the system at Heathrow. Which I enjoy. (I also wear my "I Love SFC" badge with pride, so come say hello if you're passing through!)

We get 53 days leave, which is already nearly twice what most people get in a year. there'z no excuse for trying to get anything extra for Boxing Day. IT's ASLEF not RMT. (I know it was a joke!) We're not striking, it's just a minority of train operators. It annoys me because I'll be in on Boxing Day, and them striking makes the rest of LUL staff's day that much more difficult. FWIW my manager told me today that the Piccadilly Line hasn't got many ASLEF drivers, and from previous years, them striking hasn't made tooooooo much difference. They're obviously doing it so that they can get a day off, it's pretty obvious, and they'll do it every year until LUL gives in to their demands. Which they won't. So it will continue to happen. As long as RMT and TSSA don't start following suit there should be a pretty good service.

To add to that, should we get relegated this season (touch wood), then that list in the OP will probably form the basis of our Championship team next season! I can see people interested in most of our first teamers if we do go down.

Not no future, no, but not first teamers. All can be improved upon, and if we stay in this division, all WILL be improved upon over time.

I know of at least three locations where I already in exist in DNA form... One other question, if I die, will 18 years of Championship/Football Manager addiction be time well spent, or time wasted?

5 points from that lot. I also estimate we'll finish on 38. Is that enough? Hmm, we'll see.

Would my DNA end up in said apple pie? And if so, can I be cloned from the resulting pie, should the Apocalypse fail to kill everybody? So many questions, so little time. I assume surviving the Apocalypse would entail a situation akin to the film I Am Legend. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/dec/16/mayan-apocalypse-looms-week-ahead

Got to be Wiggo, surely? I reckon Jessica Ennis will push him close though. Mo Farah or David Weir to make up the three.

What's the best household object to stick my phallus in, you know, in case the Apocalypse happens while my wife is at work? If I do that, and the Apocalypse doesn't happen, will it void the warranty?

I'm sure we've all seen the nonsense in the tabloids about West Ham wanting Rickie to replace Carroll, and we're all laughing our backsides off about that. But it did get me thinking, as he's 30 (nearly 31), is there an amount of money we'd accept for him? I personally think, with what he gives our team, he's priceless, in that signing a replacement as good (or better) than him would cost perhaps more than we'd receive. He has 3 or 4 years left at the top of his game, and I'd love him to serve out that time with us. But what sort of silly money would become tempting? £5 million? £10million?

I'm out drinking Thursday night, and I plan on getting slaughtered. If the end of the world is going to happen on the 21st, I hope it happens at 2am, just after my kebab has been finished. I either die drunk, or I die with a hangover, or I have to see the in-laws in the evening, and I'd rather it finished before that.
