One of my colleagues told me about this as the news broke on teams. I then told two of my colleagues in the office who hadn't heard. The look on their faces was gold I can't say I like the bloke and I'm not looking forward to being surrounded by more shite than usual but you can't argue with what the bloke has done. Took him some time to get going and get rid of the mess bodgers left but you really can't argue with what he has done with the club.

What could he have done, that you would have seen, to evidence he was at least trying to improve himself? Have you been watching him train? He may not have improved and it seems he's surplus to requirements here, but what makes you think the lad isn't even trying to get better?

*The People's Hero* enters the chat* For some reason I can't tag him

Would be very surprised if that yellow wall is load-bearing. I'd be mindful of opening your kitchen up entirely, both your means of escape would be past the kitchen which typically is a bit of a no no from a regs point of view. Wouldn't necessarily be an issue in a bungalow but given your lads mobility issues it's something to think about.

I love these threads

Many Evertonians are proud of being bitter - I've seen scarves for sale saying as much. Worse than a half & half scarf of a Tuesday night championship game that.

Yeah, all he's done there is paraphrase that Italian article

You've been here long enough to know better than that Tuna! The transfer sub-forum is like a game of where's Wally except your looking for actual news amongst reams of rubbish.

The mentality element is undoubtedly a huge boost, they will always think they can win until the dying seconds and as it was with Brady and the pats, you can never count them out completely until the other team is in victory formation. I wouldn't be massively surprised if the Chiefs won Sunday but that said and my bias aside, I do think the Ravens team is very good. All of our early season losses were effectively bottled and we have a history of bottling big games since 2012, many of which have been pretty painful, but the last few weeks things have felt different.

No-one is banning conkers. Made up culture war press.

Calling them all fridge magnets amused me.

Proven to make you wiser. At least that's the conclusion I've arrived at after stroking my beard and thinking about it for a few hours.

Where on earth have you got this from?

A quick google of that name brings up loads of images of this....

Absolutely. Chelsea and Man U have been spending the same sorts of sums but have had 0 success and arguably have both gone backwards over the last few years. Man City at the very least have always had a strategy and bought players with a pretty clear intention for them. Pep is no doubt a big part of that. It doesn't make it OK by any means but I'm surprised we've not heard more about Man U and Chelsea on this front.

If only. Being a bit literal here - almost all of our players have significant experience at a higher level than the championship, that is the point. Doesn't sound arrogant or entitled to me.

Fair enough, I didn't actually bother to read beyond the headline. Mea culpa. Clearly the second tweet was misleading, and it was always likely that there were going to be thousands of job losses, but this wasn't highlighted by Rishi. They will no doubt have argued Tata could've fvcked off completely and lost even more jobs. Whether they've done a good job negotiating or not, who knows.

Tight game this, going back and forth.

Well done for getting all of that down in writing, that can't have been easy. What you've been through sounds pretty traumatic, you have every right to be upset and angry and whatever else you are about these things. Those who lost their lives were obviously in dark places but that does not diminish your suffering as a result of their actions. Your feelings are completely valid and acknowledging that is important. Clearly this is all a burden on you and sharing it here is a good step. That said, it sounds like you know you need to talk to someone about this and share the burden. I can't speak for anyone else but I can't help but think your wife would want to help you get through this. If you're not there yet, try and speak to your GP about it. Alternatively, there is peer to peer support group called Andy's Man Club (here) that meets every Monday up and down the country. I've been a few times and it has really helped. Blokes have spoken about bereavements, relationships, issues with themselves, all sorts. Might be a good way for you to start sharing in a supportive environment. Keep going mate, and let us know how you get on. I'm rooting for you.

What a half this has been. 3 huge drives from Lamar & co. Defence playing lights out - Texans O has still only scored 3 points after putting 40+ on the Browns last week.

Frustrating 3 and out and letting the punt return through after such a good defensive effort so far.

Let's go Ravens!

I wonder if we get that £1B back? 🤔

I know people find this annoying but have you ever tried to use a rucksack with a self-checkout machine? It takes even longer because the weight is a problem on half the shit you scan and you end up stood waiting for someone to authorise every other purchase.

He's just been on Trevor Noah's podcast. I'm not that bothered about tennis or Kyrgios specifically but it was interesting to hear his perspective.
