I thought 2020 was a tough year, 2021 has been absolutely mental so far.
5 weeks ago my brother-in-law committed suicide and then last week my wife lost our baby whilst 4 months pregnant and we spent a rough couple of days in hospital having to still give birth. Tough times.
I was at least hopeful Wayne Rooneys Rams would cheer me up slightly on the Saturday, but it wasnt to be.
My escapism has always been the Rams, but at the minute it's like going on holiday to Normanton to get away from it all.
 
 

I can't take credit for the idea, Alan Partridge pitched it to the head of BBC in the first series he did on TV.
Personally, I was thinking more along the lines of walrus golf.

Youth hosteling with Chris Eubank. 

Matt Hancock is relaunching the 'Eat Out to Help Out' campaign.

Why does Noddy have a bell on his hat?

Inner city sumo?

Monkey tennis?

For all his faults, Rooney doesn't strike me as a quitter.
And that is what he'll look like to other clubs if he walks.

I was actually only half way through the 2nd not the 3rd episode.
I do like it.
It's one of those kind of programmes that it's enjoyable without necessarily having me rushing to sit down to watch it.
It's amusing without being hilarious.
Poignant without being tear-jerking.
And interesting (especially as I spent well over a decade selling the kind of machinery he was buying and know the industry well) without being jaw-dropping.
And I'd not be heartbroken if I missed an episode like I would be with something outrageously funny (to me any) like This Time with Alan Partridge.
I think my resistance is the insane score it gets on iMDB.
It's literally 3rd in an all-time list of TV series behind only Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones.
Newer popular series always get higher marks to begin with and I imagine all his rabid fans rushed to give it 10 out of 10 (not sure I have given anything 10/10 on IMDb other than Gomorrah and Chernobyl off the top of my head) and that will even out.
So yeh, I'd recommend it for sure, but I'd do so by saying 'yeh, it's pretty good, worth checking out'
And holy ducking duckity duck, I couldn't believe the guy was still shy of his 60th birthday when they were filming this. I presumed he was in his late 60s.
 
 

We still have Mac on the payroll, don't we?  Even if he declines management, we have Wassall, who has albeit a short history in charge here, a noticeable one.

I don't know if that's true, but I got one reading your post and they don't happen that often theses days.

For an organisation to approve and sign off on accounts for 3 seasons, to then turn round and say hold up, you know how we approved those accounts? Yeah, we don’t anymore and decided we want to retrospectively punish you by relegating you. 
Whatever your thoughts on Mel, the signings, appointments the colour of his shoes, this is just insanity, it honestly is and it’s vindictive insanity even taking club bias out.
This case should worry every single owner, manager and fan of clubs under the shambolic EFL pyramid.
Including that Championship club where the owner owns another club over in Greece, transferring players between each other to circumvent FFP restrictions without even trying to hide it and the EFL are blind to it.
Our real crime here let’s be honest is being better than Middlesbrough one season, that’s the big issue here. 
We’ve upset this little bloke up North sat in his half empty stadium so much he’s had his lawyers out to shake the EFL suits up.
Then you have that Karen Maguire over on Twitter sticking his great big spoon into the mix as it gives him a hard on and appearances on rogue radio stations and podcasts.
Absolute joke.
Nobody from the EFL will read this, but if somehow you do, fine yourself, fine yourself for being an inept organisation and if you’re serious about looking out for the best interests of the member clubs, sell up, hand the leagues over as you have shown time after time you are incapable of running them, you’re an embarrassment.
#FuckTheEFL

We'll lose to the Ukraine in the quarters..... ?

The scientific method

Yeah, because that's the way to combat 'free' streaming.
Raise the price enough so that even if the numbers drop the income increases. Football continues to price out the average fan.

That’s absolutely ridiculous, at a time where people have lost businesses, homes and livelihoods the EFL in their total inept wisdom decide to not only raise the subscription fee, they ***** well doubled it!!  
 
Absolute bunch of clowns, the lot of them  

Phew, thank god the OP wasn't asking for the loudest thing you've ever heard.
The missus once banged the car door very hard whilst in a strop.
It was the second loudest thing I heard that day.
Can't remember the first tbh.
It'll probably come to me though.

Best bit would be more accurate.
Trust me, it wasn't like you missed the first half against Benfica.

Scotland still celebrating that 0-0?

Shaun's looking well. 
Or rather he would be if he was 84

Something that’s more on topic and should lighten the mood.
There’s a Twitter account called GBNews fails and it’s brilliant. No agenda, no politics, just taking the piss out of all the duck ups that have happened in its early days. 
Here’s one such example:
