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

Derby earn a corner from the right and Stoke keeper Gavin Bazunu tentatively parries it out to Patrick Agyemang but the American striker can not capitalise.

AI reckons we’ll be Sat 5.30pm

Knock knock Whose there? Bor Bor who Bor ing,

😂 What a cock. What happened last year then? The only thing which makes the FA Cup such a great tournament and different from pretty much any other is the David V Goliath nature of it. The giant killings, the second division teams wining it. The best thing for the FA cup “brand “ is Southampton or Leeds reaching the final and winning it. Why on earth would they rig it to make it like every other competition in the world. Somd of you embarrassing yourselves and throwing your toys out of the pram because a 25% chance happened. #Nods

We ain’t half got some Noddy fans, it’s not a fix FFS

Fucking sending off 😂😂😂 People need to give their head a wobble….

There’s a decent show on Prime at the moment, it’s about a hitman with early stages dementia (not a great career if you keep forgetting things) . Can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s well worth a viewing.

Looks like it can only be the Tuesday/Weds following Derby I think.

Every single player was magnificent, every one played at the level they are capable of and it was a throughly deserved victory. I can’t remember too many games where you couldn’t look at anyone and say “he was slightly off today”, but today was one of those. The big thing Tonda got right was the mental attitude, Managers talk about concentrating on one game at a time, but rarely do. To me we went into this game with the attitude that this was a one off, rather than “let’s do our best, but we’ve got a big game Tuesday”. Whereas they defo had a one eye on Tuesday vibe. Whilst they all put in great performances, I thought Tom Fellowes deserves a special mention, he’s been off it a bit lately, but he was superb and it can’t be easy to play against such a good side when you’re in a bit of a dip. I’ll tell you who else looks a different player, Wood. He was a disaster waiting to happen week in week out, but he looks a decent player now and he hasn’t had that much game time.

It’s not just the back 4 he’s imposed himself on, it’s the whole team. The corner at the end summed it up for me, he was into their half shouting at us to keep it in the corner, as it genuinely looked like we were going to cross it into the middle. We actually might well have done as the attempt to hold the ball there lasted all of about 3 seconds 😂, but that’s beside the point. Baz would have stood there ghost like, whilst he’s involved with every aspect of the game. Class act…

Why luck? Fair play to SR for identifying his talent, getting him into the club and then promoting him when Still left the club (which 99.99% of the fan base wouldn’t have done). It’s still early days but it’s looking like an inspired choice on a par with Cortese picking Poch to take over from Nigel.
