    Your Most Desired Tech

    I really want one of these. But far too expensive for a gimmick and if I disguise it as the youngest Christmas present (he would love it) then the two bigguns qualify for a £1,000 present, which ain’t happening 😂...

    New cars

    I have a 330e through work and love it. Only 30 miles on pure electric but the EV element is a bit more than a gimmick as that covers the school run etc. My first auto and I wouldn’t go back. It does have a manual setting and the flappy paddles but I’ve never used them. On the back of this...

    Joke

    Broken lift at work called me a twat today. I said you’re out of order mate.

    Tipping

    Orlando in august. Took the family of five for steaks and the bill was in the hundreds of dollars which seemed steep. Had a quick glance at the bill, panicked and left a not insignificant 25% tip. Went back later in the week and the waiter was over the moon to see me. When I got the second bill...

    The system

    I think it has to be wingbacks with the personnel. Something has to change and no new faces until January. Dovin DaSilva Milan Binks Lati Thomas Eccles Sheaf Rudoni BTA Wright Whilst I don’t particularly rate him Lati has to come in to provide some more defensive steel. Be that as a CB...

    The next 4 games

    We will probably go and win five or six in a row now. Followed by two points out of a possible 21.

    Thomas Asante

    In 7 more league appearances if Wiki is correct too. But I’m not writing Simms off and consigning him to the bench. BTA’s shirt to lose now but Ellis will get plenty of game time.

    Thomas Asante

    It’s not just the much missed energy and press he gives, he is always looking to shoot. And despite the suggestions that he isn’t the best finisher they invariably end up on target. In a team that creates plenty of chances he should comfortably score 10+.

    Ephron Mason-Clark

    File this under the same reviews our star players of the past few seasons got in their early stages. I think he will come good. The issue at the moment is your Wrights and Simms not performing. There’s no real excuse there and they need to step up (which they will).

    Boxing 2024

    Hearn must fucking hate Warren 😂 Fair play Dubois. Still not sure that was a genuine low blow on Usyk and would hope he gets another go (can’t see Fury beating him in the rematch).

    Oasis Reunion

    Watched a Bob Marley and the Wailers tribute band called Exodus years ago and they were superb. No idea if they’re still going. Also T-Rextacy were great and the lead singer is close to Marc Bolan’s family. As for Oasis, I couldn’t even sign in until 3 hours after they went on sale. Then queued...

    Oasis Reunion

    I was at this one too. 16 years old iirc and first proper gig with mates/no parents. People passing spliffs around and handing out draw like sweets. Richard Ashcroft came out, lit a massive zooter and said “who says the drugs don’t fucking work” (before opening with…. Well you can guess)...

    The holiday 2023 thread

    Arrived in Orlando at 8pm (their time) last night. Bed at 1am and up at 4.30 despite my best efforts to get back to sleep🤦. Place looks amazing though.

    Match Thread Bristol City FC - Coventry City [LC] Match Thread - Tuesday 13th Aug

    Not great. Palmer and Tavares been poor. Thomas passing the ball to them again. Torp a few nice passes but lightweight. Asante isolated. Eccles and Wright decentish.

    Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day!

    Average to poor half. We’ve set up to play a pressing front foot game but then slipped early on into a deep counter attack tactic which has nullified the wingers and isolated Simms. The midfield has been lost and it needs Eccles if we’re going to stick with this style. Should be 1-0 down...

    Tasty but not a lot of defensive bite in midfield. Suggests a front foot, score more than you approach. Bench is a thing of beauty.

    Gathering for Tommy / Discontent

    The car attack and bloke getting set upon at the Clumsy Swan both occurred with 1/4 of a mile of each other. Unbelievably the car attack took place practically outside of Stechford Police station. I get that resources are stretched but for there not to be a single copper at the scenes is mind...

    I reckon the atmosphere might make this feel like a proper game. Handful of their fans already sat down just created an almighty noise when their keepers came out to warm up.
