Professional football from 2nd tier up is ****ing shit. Dull money wank shit. About as much a sport as Darts. The fanfare around it is even shitter.

 

Anyway, evening gents.

This article came up on my FB feed and the Meta AI comment at the bottom is actually genuine.

 

Made me laugh anyway

Id say this is definitely a step in the right direction.

 

A lot of money saved on getting rid of a lot of middle management and forces like Warwickshire being absorbed into West Mids etc. 

 

All of the money saved has to go straight back onto the frontline though.

Watching highlights on the Italian Serie C youtube channel for a couple of hours while getting through a 2 litre bottle of Euro lager might be the most relaxing way I've ever found to spend a Friday evening.

Europa League highlights before the league phase bullshit were always so good to watch.

 

Somehow ended up watching them in a Sheffield shisha lounge once with @Basingstoke Fox it felt like we could be on the Bosphorous

That sounds like a beautiful evening. Tell me Foggia are still a thing and I'll be very happy.

Languishing near the relegation zone, the days of Beppe Signori a distant and fading memory...

 

Some quite evocative names down here - Vicenza, Triestina, Ascoli, Perugia, Catania, Salernitana, Foggia. Some great derbies, shitheap stadiums in cities best known for out of town airports Ryanair flies to, insane fans and moments of brilliance from street smart Neapolitan strikers trying to make the most of their second chance after being released by Serie A clubs.   

[AyewJoking]

Cif out, kp out and transfer talk(regarding Leicester) should be removed or at least renamed to slag off Marti, Bitch about Top.

 

Its far past the stage where anything is going to change and i can only speak for myself but its boring and depressing.

I find it really interesting how people will attach significance to the most mundane things as if they say something important about wider society or a specific group. Like 'latte drinkers from London' but ever more niche and bizarre. "I saw someone buying an LCFC mug for their 78 year old uncle who lives in Australia which really tells you why this club is in decline." "Your Sarahs and Emilys from Richmond driving Nissan Versas with their husbands drinking pints of London Pride and holidaying in Puglia and enjoying the films of Greta Gerwig and who ride on the District Line wearing sunspel jumpers are exactly what's wrong with this country". Is this a new social media thing or has it always been a part of English culture, like "Daily Telegraph readers think...."

Simplistic, (probably inaccurate) blaming.

Why do I get Sunday night dread about the following day at work but if I have Monday off Tuesday doesn't bother me. I swear its PTSD from school in the 80's. The Antiques roadshow theme tune sends a shiver down my spine and if I hear last of the summer wine then im done.

I was thinking this the other day. I'm not even working at the moment and Sunday evening still kills me...

Im in a lucky position that I can get away with only working four days a week most of the time. I try if poss to take the Monday off for this reason as it makes Sunday so much more chilled.That said tomorrow ive got to work 😩😩😩

You're right about the AR theme. I'm just imagining it now and a wave of melancholy is coming over me

[Zear0]

AR? 90210 on Sky One was the Sunday night dagger for me. 

[bovril]

Last of the Summer Wine was also a killer 

[leicsmac]

I'm sorry people, but it's the Countryfile theme that's the real terror-inflicting death knell for the weekend. 

[Nalis]

Songs of Praise or Heartbeat theme tunes in the 90s.

 

Poirot them tune was the nail in the coffin if you had a later bed time.

[FoyleFox]

I'm assuming it's Sunday

Retired now but yes AR theme was the one for me

What ever they paid this bloke, wasnt enough.

Drs appointments.

Didnt realise what a rigmarole  it is.

You can only get one if you ring at 8am on the day!!

 

When did it get so hard to see a Doctor  in this country.
