Whitey Grandad

I shall be out of the country for the next round so at least I shan’t miss this game, but I would like to get through.

Away to Watford

We are number 10

Once in every twenty or thirty games.

I never wear them.

Semi-sucked?

I hate it. Too methodical and slow. No desire or passion. It’s as exciting as watching a competitive embroidery contest. Nothing to get the pulse racing, except when we take needless risks at the back in an effort to show off.

Our unbeaten run would have been longer if we hadn’t concentrated so much on pissing around at the back and actually tried to score a few more goals.

About 7:50 pm.

5th round is Feb 28th they are midweek games 🤬

Then nobody would every try to score a goal. Why bother when all you have to do is aim for a defender’s arms? That’s a lot easier.

I watched the replay again. Don’t be such a pedant.

They’re not even making this year’s kits.

If he wants passes like that then he’s an idiot. There’s a very old maxim that goes “never pass across your own goal area”

You will also be unsurprised to learn that such figures are total bollocks. Whatever they are supposed to mean. We are playing football here, not Top Trumps.

We saw a comment from a critic about this a few years ago. He called it “a mumblin’ and a grumblin’ and in our house it’s been that ever since.

In my days in television research we mentioned this and we’re told that the adverts were never louder than the loudest part of the programme. Of course, all adverts used sound that is compressed upwards.

Could be anybody to be fair. Might even be me 😳

With still wines it is of course easier to have various bottle sizes but where the process relies on secondary fermentation more investment is needed. We have traditionally visited a vineyard near Chenonceaux in summer for some of my wife’s favourite Touraine Sauvignon Blanc and they do a very drinkable fizzy that we have with our extended family on Christmas morning with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. https://www.pereauguste.com/en/product/methode-traditionnelle-blanc-brut-ou-demi-sec/ Sadly now that I am on my own such visits have lost their main purpose.

There are wines other than Champagne. Almost all are preferable.

Please don’t. The scar tissue is still painful.

True. It explains but doesn’t excuse the error. It was a symptom of the mindset that in order to keep the ball away from your enemy you have to pass it back to your goalkeeper all the time. Hoofing it downfield is less dangerous.

Strange that this plan doesn’t include any countries that aren’t EU members. Scheming bastards

Indeed it was. The only person in the stadium who was expecting a back pass was their goalscorer.
