All Activity

Surely we need to know the average pint rating for said "birds"?

I quite like the idea of Fraser Hornby taking up Ross Stewart's spot - replacing a 6ft 2' beanpole with a 6ft 5' brick shithouse. Could be interesting if he gets on the pitch with Larin at the same time - always a chance of the Bravehearts with a big Jock.

And made us go lube free because Frost forgot to switch the oven on. Clue was in the name wasn’t it?

Fucking hell, I’m in danger of a heart attack caused by this heat. Some of the birds round here aren’t covering up to protect themselves from the sun, that’s for fucking sure.

My 1980s childhood as well, football in the park off Weston Grove Road, some days exploring the Archeries woods with friends up as far as the memorial at Weston. Other days at the pitch and putt on Weston Shore. Climate has changed now though and my MIL in her mid-80s is certain the sun has become a lot more fierce than it was. I first noticed it during 2018 when we were in the Lake District during WC2018 and the roads were melting under the car. When one of those roads is the infamous Hardknott when you are actually driving on it, that is not.

A sure sign that a thread has hit the buffers.

Agreed, just don’t see the points of them.

On 28th June 1976 it was 35.6C in Southampton, the highest June temperature so far recorded in the UK, in the middle of 15 days of temperatures reaching over 32C in England, and I was sitting my "O" levels.

Oi! Apart from the alcohol bit, that was some of my childhood! 🙂 Summer holidays...out to the parks in a group...cricket...football...jumpers for goalposts...called in for Robinson's barley water...race back out...mum calling...just another 20 minutes....back for tea...hmmm? I shall inform my parentals, that such activity was unbecoming, and an indication of a less than salubrious upbringing. They will be mortified. 🙂

>tsk< puns again. Well, you won't see me railroaded into making any.

I have to say i got Larin very wrong when he first signed for us and i'm big enough to admit it. He is now one of my favourite players probably just behind Scienza. What both players have in common is they are both grafters and both very humble and have taken nothing for granted. I hope he comes back from what is already a successful World Cup for him and Canada firing on all cylinders and ready to score the goals that will make us challengers for promotion this season.

And he did.

Broadly agree, does depend on what the level of ventilation in the school is like. Trouble is, at least in extreme heat the kids can be regulated in terms of drinking water, shorter outside breaks. When they’re out of school, in some less salubrious areas the parents will kick the kids out first thing and get stuck into the alcohol and the kids won’t have been given sunblock, proper hat etc.

Can we please get back on track?

Boris said ‘Fuck Business’ though.

No just pragmatic and see his end of season vs whole season perception barometer being out of whack. We've already got Downes/Bragg for his largely defensive role, so if we need to cash in big(like we did with Dibling last year) he could be a prime candidate

Oi! Only 50 next year 🙂 But yes, for some people that would the age to have their first grandchildren.

Hornby would likely Revell a season in the Championship.

It's amazing how these football authorities can act swiftly when it suits them.... Twats

Ignore. Should have read thread first.

Ronaldo doesn't even look like he's playing the same game as his team mates any more. Messi now spends 90 minutes wandering around yet still always manages to be wandering in the right place at the right time
