Whitey Grandad

In my younger days The shirts had only numbers on the backs and no names. The shirts belonged to the club and not to any indivual player. Over the course of a season different players would wear the same shirt. Then they wanted to start selling replica shirts with names on the back.

Indeed, but over half of the classroom seems like a lot to me.

My daughter is a dinner lady assistant at our local infant school. She says that over half the children are going in at the moment, presumably because they are classed as children of key workers. She knows for a fact that one of the mothers is working from home. So half the kids are getting a classroom education whilst the rest are staring at a screen.

Meh. Job done. Clean sheet. A run out for the youngsters. Can’t really complain.

The figures usually dip on a Monday until the weekend figures come in. Still a lot of sad cases though.

Delgado?

It takes a while for immunity to be establishing of course. Without knowing the details it’s difficult to form any conclusions.

Ouch. That's bad luck for all concerned.

Are you really suggesting that Stephens pressurised Maddison into scoring a goal?

That is very sad and has been quite common. They call it ‘happy hypoxia’ where the individuals’s oxygen levels are dangerously low yet they can carry on a normal existence at the same time as their organs are suffering serious damage. There are suggestions that getting a pulse oximeter for use at hope might persuade the ambulance to come out to you if you find you have a low oxygen level.

Famous for his ‘Wall of Sound’ style.

How the hell can you play another player offside?

That means nothing. He makes mistakes and sometimes gets away with them. Last night he made two short passes straight to a Leicester player. The first led to a good chance for them and a good save from McCarthy, the second led straight to their goal. There’s something wrong with his visual appreciation of the situation. He just doesn’t see the opposition player. It’s not as though they were miskicks or underhit. The way that Maddison swept past him was not what you expect of a Premier League defender.

Nope

That’s one of the indirect consequences of VAR.

They’ve only mentioned the 9-0 three times so far.

We’ve just polished off a takeaway that I walked back with. Prawn purri , meat rogon josh, vegetarian balti and pilau rice and a chicken tikka starter which I shall save until tomorrow.

If that happens then I will give them the credit for it but there again I’m not a loon 😇

BT do a monthly pass for £25 if that’s any good. Seems a bit steep to me but there again I’m one of the mugs who has the full set on Virgin Media.

It’s on BT tomorrow, which is all that matters. Whether I shall be allowed to hog the tele for two hours on a Saturday night is another matter. I have fallbacks but one is cold and the other uncomfortable.

Sold on at a fraction of face value.

It would not surprise me to find out that food vouchers were being traded on the black market.

No, bike!
