Whitey Grandad

Ooh, a good weekly serial. It's just like reading Charles Dickens, I can't wait for the next instalment. There's a book in there somewhere, GM, it worked for Geoffrey Archer.

Marginally offside but Shaw running upfield instead of covering didn't help.

Yep, the season ended last Saturday.

Fair point. I'm using an iPad so sometimes my ramblings are abbreviated.

It is, but only if you get permission first.

I believe they have tried this in Japan where there are plagues of Nomura jellyfish in certain areas. Even the Japanese were not keen. I when I was a boy we used to pick them out of the water in dustbin lids and then leave them on the promenade to dry out. Next day there was no trace of them. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/10/16/article-2462895-18C6EA1E00000578-68_634x466.jpg

Certainly impartial but certainly not consistent.

Bloody iPad innit

Wise words Wes.

Hmm, not convinced. 99% - 23% = 73%. There were 7 non-words that I claimed to know, two of which were 'tossee' and 'seepy'. Surely tossee is 'one who is tossed' and seepy is in my Chambers dictionary FFS. These damned foreigners need an english lesson, methinks. And what's happened to the hyphenated verbs? Tsk tsk.

I'm disagreeing. They are paid to play as many games as necessary so they should always give their best effort.

A few of those who sit around me, but of those all were of the same opinion. Not a large sample, I grant you, but if extended... I went to all the home games.

Chicken and egg, innit. I know a lot of regulars who would have gone otherwise but they're not going to sit in the corners when they're used to a top-class seat.

Playing football is the same whichever game you play. Professional footballers are contracted to play cup games as well as the league. Playing a game is much better than just training. Players have bonuses for various competitions. What would happen if your contract stipulated occasional weekend working and callouts, would you refuse?

Stands were closed so you couldn't buy tickets for them

Blimey! And I thought I could hold a grudge...

Yep, I've moved on. It's dealt with and filed away under 'never to be forgotten and brought out on every conceivable occasion'. It's my feminine side but with extra hormones.

It depends on the colour, if they're amber then it's put your foot down to the floor.

Horrendous, hideous, ghastly, atrocious, take your pick. Woeful is probably about right.

We'd sign you up but how are you at head-butting?

Good practice for when they can move to Tescos. It'll save all that travelling.

Er... three defensive errors in quick succession

Much more than I ought to be and I'm quite surprised about it myself. Our shiny new MP has lost some of his gloss, it's like having a new car and then it gets a big dent in the side or a girlfriend who has broke your trust, you can forgive but you will never forget "Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again"

Yeah, but remember to pay him after the job 'cause wiping all that grease and melted cheese off can take forever.

Was that before or after they cleared the table?
