That’s giving him a free pass. Funny how the recruitment looks so much better now we have a better manager isn’t it? Do you think that’s a coincidence?

It’s defo Ipswich’s for the taking, as apart from us, everyone else is stumbling over the line. On paper they do have a bit of a tough run. Norwich, followed by a midweek trip down the road (which can be tough if you’re not on it), Middlesbrough, Charlton, WBA, then us, they don’t face anyone with nothing to play for until QPR their last game. Whereas we have Swansea, Bristol C & Preston, from the “mid table season over” group, and Blackburn are pretty safe as well. If they lose to Norwich & it’s a bit of a battle, they’ll then face similar at Fratton on Tuesday, who knows. They’re facing the same fixture congestion as us, only what looks like more physical type games. Incredibly unlikely, but lose today and you never know the affect that will have on them…

I wonder if you’ll post about the good signings he made, or just the shit ones…

Lots of good deals around on lease or PCP at the moment as manufacturers are trying to avoid fines for not selling enough (that’s what I was told anyway). Not having to pay for a charger makes it a no brainer imo. Longer journeys,you just have to give it a full charge (80% is normal recommendation) and plan ahead. I’ve found a full charge on a public charger works out about the same PPM as a petrol journey, so the only thing you lose on is the time you take to plan the stops & a bit of stress when it gets below 20%.

Perhaps he’s running the marathon the following day.

I was genuinely surprised, so much so that the snap dragon traded her patrol in for an EV as well. We’re on octopus IOG and it’s 5p a KW overnight (was 7). Switched everything we can to overnight, dishwasher, washing machine to get that rate. The other great thing about Octopus you plug in and it charges whenever energy is cheapest (not just overnight) and you get 5p kWh for the whole house, not just the EV. After a while you can work out when they’ll charge it in the day (it’s sunny, or windy) and you can time it right around your consumption. I plugged it in about 2pm Sunday & set it to be ready at 4am ( the earliest it lets you). Exactly what I hoped would happen, happened,the 5p rate kicked in for the snap dragon cooking Sunday afternoon and re heating the hot tub after some maintenance stuff. In short we’ve basically managed to shift so much stuff to 5p that our energy bills have stayed static & we are not buying petrol. Obviously, the charger cost us 1k, but I spent a lot more a year on fuel than that, and once you’ve saved the 1k , happy days. It probably helps that the kids have all gone, so it’s easier to control the electric use, but the answer to your question is, we’ve basically saved the entire petrol bill of 2 cars, less a one off 1k payment. It’s a couple of quid for about 170 miles of driving, but we save that by running appliances overnight. Octopus are great, despite being lefties, but their service is second to none.

I can see Middlesbrough stalling, can see Millwall stalling, it could even happen that Ipswich suddenly hit a wall. But all 3, not a fucking chance. Don’t want Ipswich anywhere near he play offs. A knock out tournament involving us, Middlesbrough, Hull & Millwall , id take that every day of the friggin week.

That’s exactly what’s happening.

No way it was a penalty. Fuck me, some of our supporters need to man up. Red card for Moore, Penalty. Load of old pony, it’s a physical game ffs

My first thought was why didn’t he stay on his feet instead of being such a soft arse.

Our centre halves need to head the fucking ball, or ant least stay strong, and stop flinging themselves to the ground every time Moore challenges them. This isn’t the Premier league, they’re not getting a foul FFS

Was that the same Wigan that beat Man City the previous round?

I was interested in these to maybe help offset the energy costs of our hot tub. , but later heard that the ROI is a lot longer than they claim. The conservative estimate is 8-10 years in a south facing garden, not the 6 some are claiming. I couldn’t believe the savings we’ve made since moving from 2 petrol cars to 2 EV’s, so would be up for anything that reduces the bills, but the timescales are a bit of a push. The final nail in the coffin is the grandchildren kicking a ball round in the garden, as one has the shooting accuracy of Adam Armstrong.

How many plod does it take to police the London marathon anyway. Unless there’s a few instances of misgendering a couple of runners in the birds race, there’s not going to be many arrests. I doubt if there will be anything kicking off.,

Looked like Baz with the goal though
