Happy Face

Regardless of how much we dominated, when you're 2-1 down with ten minutes to go and get something out of the game it's points gained. A noteworthy point on that graph above, McClaren last year led us to our lowest 31 game points total since 3 points for a win was introduced. Rafa has led us to our highest. Different leagues maybe, but remarkable over a 35 year period that the 2 extremes have come in the last 2 seasons.

How politicians and their surrogates keep a straight face as they flip flop on leaks depending on whether the leak harms them or the opposition is as entertaining as it is despicable. 2016 - "Well done assange, let's lock up Clinton" 2017 - "Now come on, General Flynn deserves some privacy, lock up the leaker" Not limited to Republican obviously, Obama ran on a platform of transparency and whistleblower protection before his DOJ pressed more whistleblower prosecutions of any presidency. The proposed change in UK law to criminalise whistleblowers and group them with spies for prosecution is potentially worse than anything done in the US though.

Jimbo's return seems to have been short lived so it's Cath and Gemmil. There's a few from week 1 though. David Kelly, Fish, Jill, Rob W (somethimes), Mighty Hog, Wyki, NJS, you, Ewerk, Zico, Meenzer, Tooj, Sonatine, moi, Renton Dr Gloom. Assume Alex was there then too, but has a new account.

In unrelated news

I know a bloke who claimed to be in poverty on the same forum where he posted news of his new big screen TV, latest iphone, treadmill, landscaping projects and all sorts. Best label for it would probably be attention seeking.

I realise people could set up their own Stuart Lee RSS if they wanted, rather than me post his articles every week, but.... If smelly Tania Masters had wet her pants in RE, Laura Kuenssberg would ask the other girls if they had heard about it, but would do so in such a way as to suggest that while, of course, the incident was awful for poor Tania, it was also somehow thrilling for everyone else, and if they gave her 10p they could even see the pants, which she had screwed up in her pocket. And Two summers ago, clearing decades of foliage from an abandoned garden, I learned a belated respect for rats. Our cat went for the baby ones as they emerged fighting from long undisturbed nests, but they stood up to him on their hind legs; a quarter of his size, they hissed and spat and screamed and punched at him like prizefighters, before he took them by their necks and tossed them onto the burning bonfire. But most Labour party MPs just lay down before the second Brexit vote and threw themselves, and their party, onto the pyre without a struggle. There are braver rats.

If anyone wonders why Mitro doesn't get a game for Rafa he's shown it today. He's a dunce. He scored though, so there'll be loads insisting he should start more and calling Rafa like he's Pardew for not selecting him.

Most people don't go to every game if they DO have one either. Most games I've gone to the last 2 year have been on mates season tickets.

Can't believe half of the 38k are still renewing after that window and rafas reaction to it. The savings from a season ticket are miniscule... If you do save at all.

... Assuming of course you've already seen Ichi the killer, which everyone must have

Gozu is a bit of a head fuck

? All the journalistic gravitas of a sportsdirectnews.com article.

"I'm not going back dad, i'm er..... sick of Ashley messing benitez about. Aye that's it" "But Rafa's happy enough, he'll spend in the summer" "Nah, not risking it, and if he does spend he'll only sell in January, I'm done.... Let me know if your ticket's ever spare though."
