I thought that too, and I thought the same about Man Utd. They weren’t the sort of team that you would pay good money to watch.

Apparently we have. The deal also includes an option to buy following the end of the loan Daily Mail 😳

I see what you’re saying. (hear?) Some kettles you can touch. Of course, in the winter any heat that escapes from the kettle goes into warming the house.

We’ve done some serious pruning there. We’ve got rid of a lot of the deadwood and brought in a significant mixture of solid replacements and some promising green shoots.

Improved a lot lately but never going to reach the required level. I wish him all the best.

That’s idiotic. If there’s one appliance that doesn’t waste energy it’s a kettle. All the energy goes into the water. Eventually.

If Russia has no claim on any of the assets of the USSR then it does not have a claim on Ukraine or the other states it has taken over.

Are you going to tell them or am I?

From Wikipedia, "On 24 December 1991, the Soviet Permanent Representative to the United Nations Yuli Vorontsov delivered to the Secretary-General of the United Nations a letter from the Russian President Boris Yeltsin. The letter stated that the Soviet Union had ceased to exist, and that Russia would continue the Soviet Union's membership in the United Nations and maintain the full responsibility for all the rights and obligations of the Soviet Union under the United Nations Charter. The letter was circulated among the United Nations membership without any objection, and Russia formally took over the Soviet Union's seat in the United Nations General Assembly, in the Security Council and in other organs of the United Nations. The letter also confirmed the credentials of Soviet representatives to represent Russia, and Soviet representatives to the various United Nations agencies continued serving as Russian representatives without presenting new credentials. Ambassador Vorontsov continued serving as the first Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations."

Classy.

Me too. We knew that this day would eventually come but that doesn’t make it any less poignant. Like the passing of a much-loved pet 😢

I said much the same to my grandson sitting next to me that we had abandoned the silly passing the ball around between the goalkeeper and the central defenders in favour of getting it upfield quicker. There was one occasion when Bazunu rolled it out to KWP but apart from that I don't remember another.

The one that plays on the left hand side?

There doesn’t have to be a free kick. If the opposition have the ball then the referee can play on.

I wouldn’t mind going to Girona but that wouldn’t suit everybody. I sincerely hope that we can have an opportunity to show our appreciation of him.

Probably haemorrhoids.

Agreed. But what was going on in the first one and a half matches?

It’s a complete nonsense. What could happen is that a player is clearly offside but that play is not stopped and carries on for a couple of minutes during which the attacking team scores. Are they going to go back and restart the game and the clock?

Was it this one?

Was it this one?

Was it this one?

That’s what I thought. He was chasing back to provide cover but then pulled up holding the back of his thigh and started hopping. Yes, he seemed to be walking freely and I couldn’t see any sign of an ice pack.
