Nah, not his sister. The bars are run by Mimi Le Bonk. No Belgian beers and definitely no German or Italian ones, just French!

Robot boxing at the robot games in China. It amuses me that they are wearing boxing gloves and head protection!

It definitely tailed off. I haven't watched 1883/1923 yet, but it's on the list. Taylor Sheridan stuff is decent mostly.

Donnie's policy of denying all visas from 75 named countries has been ruled illegal by a Federal Judge.

Did Tonda comment on THBs absence? Emery sounds thoroughly pissed off

Great breakaway goal for the Toon to regain the lead - that said hard to see them in their WWII Royal Navy Battleship camouflage shirts!

Don't forget % of completed passes, ( particularly backwards ).

5 games left, 4 of them vs teams in the top 5.

Agree that 'having a strop' isn't a good look, but much prefer that to players that shirk the responsibility, especially at his age.

Win percentage, that's not how you judge true footballing excellence. You know that. Got to love a sweet possession pie chart.

I've always called it No Mannings Land! Totally agree with what you said Patches about giving the "Cheat" chant back, especially when their players dive, go down with cramp to waste time etc.

Judging by how the service is ... she's working overtime and a half.

But look at the amount of scar tissue he's worked on at the crisis clubs he's taken over. The processes he's put in place, the man management that has turned those players lives around. Broadening their horizons form thinking of themselves as footballers to seeking careers outside the game due to a collapse in form and ability. 🙂

Is his sister, Stella, in charge of catering and beer sales in the concourse ?

One other thing on Stoke, just realised one of their CB’s was Ben Gibson. Nephew of Gibbo.

Few random observations from yesterday: Defence - probably not stretched or pushed as we would be by other teams, but some concern especially with the CB’s. Need for a better option than on show yesterday. (Thought Hirst might have caused us more problems). Midfield : again the loss of Charles, and Jander’s absence leaves us exposed. Stoke seemed to have acres of space to work in,especially first half, and only Galbraith looked able to take advantage. Matsuki - no taking away his effort but looked a bit lost at times. Azaz - impressed by him constantly probing for an opening. Scienza - easily worst performance I’ve seen from him. Didn’t look as motivated as usual. He’s got credit in the bank so can forgive him an occasional off day. Don’t want to read too much into it. Larin - impressed by pace and finishing. Looked to be tiring before he really hammered one before going off to remind us of his strengths. Mubama - good goal. Promising. But unimpressed that he seemed to have a strop when the penalty was given to Manning. At times we looked toothless up front despite the score(rs). Still think we need another CF (if the Ratkov profile, if not him). The penalty- seemed some uncertainty over who’d take it. In my view should have been known before the match. Reminiscent of the Man Utd game. Credit to Stephens as captain for stepping in and giving the ball to Manning to sort it. Tonda - two subs, and two goal involvements. May be a genius or just lucky. Either way he seems to get more right than wrong on the pitch. Crowd - inevitably a “we spy when we want” bollocks. Pleased there was no booing at HT after we looked to be flagging a bit. Onwards and upwards.

With regard to the Irish crash, I read that it is only in the last couple of months that the Gardai have undergone training in pursuit driving.

The BBC report says a police chase was ended 10 seconds before the crash, so I suspect they weren't at that time, but trying to get away from the filth. They may have done it earlier to have caused the chase?

I have this sticker on the top tubes of all my bikes ;

"Such nice boys", "So kind and helpful", "Fun loving and full of life", "Their whole lives were in front of them", "Not a bad bone in their bodies", etc, etc.

Yellowstone got really stupid I thought. I really liked 1883, think 1923 was ok but Taylor Sheridan writing the sadistic violence for Timothy Dalton character seem gratuitous.

I loved Yellowstone and Dutton Ranch, but couldn't get on with Marshals. The Madison was a variation on the theme, and enjoyable. Landman was excellent too, Billy Bob Thornton typically brilliant, and as for Ali Larter. Clarksons farm hasn't lost any appeal for me. I like Clarkson a lot. I reckon Kaleb is almost as dense as he comes across, and I hope the kid is getting a decent cut of the fee, he's a huge part of the show.

Yeah they can rot in hell.

Mixed kebab doesn’t sound deranged when he is talking about films

Aye just like the travel threads where everyone seems to get on with each other.
