Oppenheimer - really enjoyed it, but why does Nolan make the dialogue so hard to hear (and the background effects so LOUD)?

He caught done several times by their very tricky and pacey number 10 but, overall, I think he had a very good game. As @kevinhectoring says, he probably just need to learn the position and I’d be happy to see him stay there.

Their no. 10 was a good player.

He'll have to give-up the fags first.

If the Marvin Johnson rumour came from that source then it's more likely we're signing Hank Marvin and Holly Johnson

Marvin Haggler fits our age profile............, might be a bit too slow now though!

When this happened, the firm was told an investigation would take place, and a resolution would take 10 working days. 

20k was returned almost immediately, due to the transaction being blocked, but the rest would be subject to investigation.

No such investigation has taken place, as far as we can tell, not one witness statement obtained, no contact from anyone in authority, yet today the missing amount has landed back in the bank, without forewarning of any sort.

Not one email, call or contact of any sort to explain the situation. 

Crime really does pay, if you're smart enough.

 

Are you saying that your bank has refunded 100% of the 'scammed' money with no explanation whatsoever?

I hope if Cashin goes we look at signing Josh Earl. Best player on the pitch today and only 24.

Is he their #5? If so, I agree entirely, never put a foot wrong.

With no disrespect aimed at the lady in question, I'd say she's got more balls than Safegate.

Bolton away tickets on sale at 10 o’clock this morning to 10+ members.

So far only the bottom section of the stand is open with 2,237 tickets available.

I'd normally have got a ticket for Bolton within an hour or two of them going on sale (15+ membership), but what the train strikes and other 'issues', I haven't even looked yet. 😢

So Jon Howard has been chief scout since 2015. Isn't that around the time our recruitment became terrible. I could almost name all our good signings since 2015 on one hand.

How TF can you have two chief scouts?

Listening to the pundits on FL72 podcast they were saying what good business we had done getting them in

How do we improve the team if the core of the team is dysfunctional? What do we do when the central figures in the team are standing in the way of progression?

I think if we were an Italian side, there might be an "accident"!

What I can’t fathom is from last season he said he wanted pace and hasn’t addressed it. He says tonight he needs pace and hasn’t addressed it. 

At this rate, I'll need a pacemaker

You need your insurance company to after the perpetrator.

In my experience, they don't fight your corner, and are quite happy for you to carry the can.

I got sideswiped by a Polish owned/driven HGV about 12 years ago on the M1 and I had fight tooth and nail to get my insurance company to go after the haulage firm (I had photographic evidence of the drivers licence and insurance certificates at the scene).

My insurance company were quite happy to pay me out on MY policy, (with me having to pay the excess and losing my NCB), but I told them to 'feck right off', and insisted they persue the lorry firm. Took ages, but got there eventually, with the result it was also logged as a 'no fault accident'.

The only damage to the lorry was a couple of scratched wheel nuts!

Any chance you can drive the minibus?

All I think is when I read this, you've probably spent more times sat watching windows updates as I have sat on the toilet in my life!

Nope, just let it do its thing when I'm done for the day and an update is pending.

I used an iPhone for a few months last year, (after smashing my Samsung). I had to buy a new Samsung before I turned into an axe wielding psychopath.

I've got a Toshiba T1200 from the late 80s that only ran DOS....

We used to use it for remote support back in the day. I rescued it from a skip at work when they finally moved into the 90s and provided us with a laptop - I found it in the loft a couple of years ago and it still boots up - should probably be in a museum....

I've still got my Compaq, not sure when I booted it last though. I used to use Lotus 123 (for Windows) for my spreadsheets back then.

9 years for a Windows laptop will get you in the Guinness book of records, drop them an email with your receipt! Congrats  

I brought a new W10 ThinkPad in December 2017 and its still working perfectly (business use). Although I do sometimes have to delete some of the crap that gets installed during an update.

It replaced a Fujitsu Windows XP laptop that was new in 2006. The one before that I can't remember, but it ran Windows 98 and before that a second-hand Compaq 386 laptop running both DOS and Windows 3.1

I always buy the most expensive laptop I can when I replace them. I'm hoping the current one will see me out!

People need to grow a pair. We're not talking about the social cripples of sociey here, we're talking about very well paid athletes who ought to be on top of thier game.

A good bollocking never went amiss.
