That would apply to every player under every manager.

I'm trying to be quite fair about things here. I've never happily tolerated the obtuse. Intelligence can be a curse. I reckon I'd be much happier with a window-licker intellect.

I'm of the opinion that the use of the laughing emoticon just because you disagree with someone (as opposed to finding something genuinely funny) is the signature of a sub-standard intellect incapable of elucidating a coherent counter-argument.

No, that's Plan Q, so named because the defenders queue up to clear the ball without problems.

Made a live human sacrifice in the centre circle, whilst saying 'Jimmy Savile is my hero' and 'I support Forest'. Now anyone can make a mistake - or even two - but supporting Forest is a step too far.

Seemed to work.

The problem is, we're not in a 'guaranteeing guarantees' position. We are trying to recover from the second-worst position in our club's history (we were once just five minutes away from being would up before Maxwell bailed us out), and sacking the manager is something that David Clowes, because of the huge cost which that would entail, is unlikely to contemplate (last resort notwithstanding).

Worn out.

You should never be offended by the truth.

So Plan 'S' now?

I wonder whether the commentators will apologise for that too.

I tried watching it on an old laptop. Utterly unwatchable - almost continuous buffering.

Can't say that I do.

I told the Memsahib that when I ripped some rogue pansies out that were encroaching upon my Scotch Bonnet / Armageddon / Habanero sanctum. It did not go down well.

Burgers in water. Boiled, for goodness sake. I've just checked t'internets and it's still a thing. Some people love that soggy, deep-boiled finish. Allegedly.

Well, with Saudi Arabia seemingly set to be a shoe-in for the 2034 World Cup, they'll probably finance a ceremonial destruction of a couple of iconic towers as an opening ceremony.

Miss Congeniality I cannot believe that I sat through the whole thing. OK, on reflection I didn't - I spent some time mixing and steaming the Christmas pudding, made a nice potato salad and drank a couple of beers. I did chuckle a couple of times. 4/10.

Probably Noordwijk in the spring - the Memsahib loves Keukenhof. Also, either Brugge or Gent in the summer. Dates to be confirmed when Derbyshire's fixtures come out.

...That's just a bit of gossip.

Apparently, we had precisely zero trick-or-treaters this year (the Memsahib was at home whilst I was wallowing in the glory of our victory at PPS). Looks like I'm porking out on Haribos for the next few weeks.

You're

A very decent performance and an enjoyable night. Nothing else to say really.

This thread got very silly very quickly.

Totally worth it. Every time they go on sale, I buy a few boxes. They will have them for 3 or 4 weeks, and every visit, I buy a couple more boxes. They will last me until the next time they go on sale. At one time, it was just Fathers' Day, but now it's 3 or 4 times a year they re-stock. The other Belgian beers they have in stock at the moment are pretty good too - Leute Bokbier is a lovely malty brew, and Cuvee Des Trolls is a nice hoppy offering.
