Real Madrid are so classless when they lose…

There’s nobody more knowledgeable about defence in the Labour Party than him, probably since Denis Healy. Yet, you’re such a biased one eyed clown you’re having a pop…

From my experience, it was a friggin nightmare. I logged on yesterday afternoon on the off chance there couple who didn’t have any aways maybe eligible , because I would have sworn Steve Grant said on the podcast that it included last season (although I may have misheard). I was at work so I also wanted to check it wouldn’t block me because I work for a Dutch company and some of my location stuff sometimes shows Amsterdam, and that everyone was on my F&F list. Not sure I logged out, but shut computer down at end of day. Logged on at exactly 9:31, went into queue and eventually got through. Didn’t log on again, my details just came up. F&F exactly the same as day before, some greyed out. Thought it must of been because I didn’t log out yesterday, so logged out, refreshed page & re joined queue. Got in, same thing happened, so logged onto phone, same thing again. Logged back on computer, about 10:15am now. No F&F greyed out, but wouldn’t self populate my details (I was greyed out). Losing my rag, I started refreshing a few and eventually it cleared and I could go ahead. I suspect I was greyed out because the session on my phone and timed out, so the ticket was still allocated to me and it thought I’d already got one. All I know was it was more complicated than it needed to be, and maybe they should have had a period, maybe 8:30-9:30 where you can’t log on and everything is cleared and re set….

This is what happened to me, had to go back in 3 times before I was able to allocate tickets to everyone . Bloody shambles, lost some decent tickets each time as the options got worse & worse. Stressed me out because I was getting tickets for 7 others and I’m trying to second guess where they wanted ticket. The initial basket was in the section we had agreed, but by the time all the F&F weren’t greyed out, that option had gone. I’ve now got to explain to a couple of the dinosaurs that have a physical ST how to get their tickets. FFS, that’s going to be fun….

He might not of signed without that clause

I joined after 9:30 and it happened to me. Maybe I wasn’t logged out, but I only opened browser at 9:31

Is that the same Selles that did a great job at Reading? He even did a better job at hull than Still did at saints.

Depends how fit she is I suppose.

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.
