I’m watching via an Amazon fire cube if that helps anyone who’s struggling…

How far behind is this ‘live’ football?

There's another - superstition. Have a pie and the Rams win, simply have to buy a pie for the next match....

Hmmmm, Gemma Chan

Doubt it was Norwich - unless things have changed dramatically, Deliah used to oversee the pie offerings - last time I went I had a beef in red wine pie - absolutely lovely.....

Heard someone on the radio saying that the origins actually date back to medieval times - apparently the 'trick' part was originally to 'do' a trick rather than 'play' one (i.e. sing a song or suchlike...)

Religion isn't necessarily the root cause, but it's a hugely convenient thing to use to justify wars - most religions are all or nothing and demand that anyone who doesn't worship the same sky pixie should be treated with utter contempt - it's then a small step for those craving power to persuade simple minds that they should to want to destroy the non-believers at any cost.....

They sound a bit like the People's Front of Judea - or is that the Judean People's Front?......

Pearson sacked by Bristol City…

No intention of posting any spoilers - other than to tell you that you’ll enjoy it immensely!

Look at the way Collins has been crucified on here for daring to shoot when he could have played Barks in on goal.... Players are clearly not immune to social media and this forum (look at NMLs response after his goal the other night) - the toxicity in our 'fanbase' would make the best players think twice (and we don't have the best players by a long shot.....)

Thailand MotoGP - wow, just wow......the perfect antidote to Max potentially disappearing off into the distance in Mexico....

He did - but unfortunately he was the one that couldn't hack the fame that came with such a big show - it's well documented that he'd had serious issues with drink & drugs for many years (to the point that there were periods during filming when he couldn't remember his lines). This seems to have been a tragic accident, but whether his addictions played a part will probably become clear at a later date....utterly shocked me this morning to hear of his passing at such a relatively young age, but the more I think about it, the less shocked I really am....

Weird timing though after their least winnable fixture - they lost to Leicester (everyone has) and had a player sent off - I’d guess the owners had already made the decision but wanted another loss to confirm they were justified in getting shot…

Matthew Perry, ‘Friends’ star, dead at 54 - reportedly found after accidental drowning in his jacuzzi….

I don’t doubt that he wants to create that sort of team - unfortunately it seems he’s completely incapable of doing it….

Oops - Wolves keeper just dropped a clanger to give Newcastle the lead…

Didn’t Warne state that he’d walk if the fans turned against him? Perhaps we’ll see if he’s a man of his word….

I think that should be ‘Steve Evans is a steamroller’ - at least it would feel like that if the fat little bugger rolled over you….I pity his missus

Almost 30 years ago we were house hunting and went to Willington to look at some new builds off Hall Lane - as we stood outside one of the houses looking down towards the river we were approached by the sales woman and got chatting to her. Being relatively local we were well aware of the issues with flooding in the area so weren't at all serious about buying but I thought I'd ask her about the possibility of floods - "oh, lots of people ask" she said, "in fact people who'd already moved in stand at the end of the road whenever there was heavy rain and watch the river expand" - I suggested that it was quite worrying but she told me not to worry as they would be dredging the river to make sure the houses were safe - it was only when I asked her how often they'd dredge it that she had to urgently rush off back to the show home.....

Well in the spirit of the title of this thread, I thought they were puppies.....

You called?

Joey Barton sacked by Bristol Rovers

I can think of quite a few other words for them......

Newcastle & Italy midfielder Tonali banned for 10 months by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) for breaching betting rules....
