They got 70 points that season. Wouldn't have been enough for top 4 the season after. They were nowhere near.

Reminds me now more of a large nondescript city like Hong Kong than a provincial town. Lack of students and youngsters compared to other big European cities. Mostly tourists and workers.

Agree that the pubs in London are superb but when 90% of them in the centre ring last orders at 10:50 at the weekend it puts a dampener on things somewhat

An Aussie bitter? Surely not.

Would be very on brand if Leeds and Ipswich finally stumble but we stumble even harder

Woke up very pissed off. Probably more so than any game since Fulham last year

Would be ironic if we go into the game more than 3 points off automatic promotion...

2003/04 was pretty traumatic

Just get at them in the first half ffs. The longer it goes at 0-0 the more inevitable the defeat becomes

Maybe if we'd played like we did in stoppage time when Vardy was on the pitch...

Likening him to Akinbiyi is harsh imo. Ade had a good record in this division.

No way to talk about Owynn and Pipes

I didn't think it was such a terrible decision. Offside should be as objective as possible and if a a player is standing directly in front of the GK I don't think as you say officials should really be debating whether the GK would get there or not.

Everywhere I go I hear people hacking their guts up. It's like Dawn of the Dead on the morning tube. I've had colds and covid before but like you said it's now accompanied by stuff that I haven't experienced. Maybe the Russians have dropped something over England. Hope you get better and stay healthy!

There are many things I like and dislike about living in Britain but I think the worst for me may be the weather and the fact I seem to be now constantly sick. Hope you get well soon.

I think it's been the wettest six months in like the last 200 years so we're probably all a little vitamin d deficient at the moment. I have Swedish family and people there always take it. Hasn't stopped me from being sick almost constantly the last four months

Strings on commentary!

So us

Norfolk ftw as always

Just finished reading between two worlds - about the first puritan settlers in America. Explains a lot...

I feel like it's the only thing that hasn't happened to me in the last four weeks so give it time.

Coffee now tasting of cardboard which I guess suggests it was Covid. Totally ****ed my back up probably from the coughing and trying to DIY my bed to make my mucus drip better at night. Fun times!

The quality is much better but I find football much less enjoyable. If it's described as "boring" I would guess that's a lot to do with the over saturation and hype in the media. But generally I agree when I watch lower league highlights now it is quite remarkable how much better they are on the ball than Prem teams of the 90s.

I think American Evangelicals are baffling to most Christians.

I haven't read much of Dawkins but I understand he believes religion to be at best delusion and at worse fanaticism, and likens bringing up children in a religion to child abuse. For him to then come out and basically say "well I quite like these Christian traditions and living in a Christian country" is absolutely hilarious and imo invalidates everything he has previously written.
