Shocker

Don't flirt with me.

I said it was FUCKING MOOT!"

That joke, ironically, never gets old.

I honestly think it's more that who we are now, does not scan with who we were when his transfer made sense. Our high-pressing, more fluid style just doesn't work with Chris "Plank of" Wood. But the whys and wherefores are moot now. He's not now, and nor will he be a part of our future. Better to get shot now.

Just read that Man City have signed him for a measly £8m

Man Utd, they're after his replacement from Burnley.

I've no doubt that our unexpectedly good performance in the league, coupled with our piss-poor FA Cup performance will alter the boardroom plans. If Al-Rumayyan comes to town he'll probably loosen the purse strings again. I want ultra hipster signings. like Franca, Perrone etc.

You're a good man BW

And Benitez, to be fair. Lewis doesn't look like he's up to much at all, mores the pity.

Of the 11 that started against Shef Wed I'd probably sell in next two windows; Dubravka Murphy Lewis and I'd definitely sell this shower as soon as possible; Manquillo Lascelles Ritchie

What? and miss out on the Bridges and the Glass Museum? Philistines!

Just started watching Bad Sisters. It's good. Not sure Apple tv is worth it for this, and Ted Lasso, but we'll see. Anyone got any Apple tv recommendations besides those two?

If only there was a vainglorious billionaire who recently discove3red it's not as universally adored as he believed. If he threw a couple billion at the problem, that could go some way to offset costs to the people who need the most help, right?

"Alexa, outdoor light off" isn't the ordeal you think it is. My wife was hesitant and brought up similar challenges to modernisation, but now she's using the big Echo Show in the kitchen to give her step-by-steps for new recipes that it suggested the day before, while playing her favourite music. She's telling the postie to leave the parcel on the step while she's upstairs with our son. She's a total convert. Join us, don't resist.

We've got the Ring Doorbell and I'll be adding to that with the alarm stuff. Still back and forth on a smart lock though.

Which security system are you using for that? I'm assuming you'll need contact sensors on the door?

Cheers, sorry to hear about your news too.

Ah man, that's awful. A paradigm shift on cancer would be amazing and it's cause for optimism, right?

Aye exactly. I honestly started to spiral a bit after the call I had with my old boss. I obviously making it all about me then feeling guilty about doing that which compounds the anxiety and blurgh), but I come back to that, what's it called? Prayer of Serenity or something? "Have the courage to change the things I can change, the serenity to accept the things I can't, and the wisdom to know the difference." Honestly had second thoughts about posting this for fear of being mocked, but then I realised that, on here, that ship has sailed, discovered new lands, and been ridiculed by the locals.

Just found out that a lad I used to work with passed away over Christmas. We'd stayed in touch and I knew he was ill, so wasn't surprised not to hear from him for a while, but got the text a couple of hours ago and, well.. yeah. He was the same age as me (41), he had two young lads the eldest only 4 or 5. Last time we spoke (about 18months ago) he was buzzing cos the Drs said it was looking good, but apparently the testicular cancer spread to his kidneys and beyond. Cancer is a cunt, isn't it?

Liverpool have been poor at the back (14th for xGA) and they've just lost Van Dijk for a spell, right? They're scoring more and conceding fewer than you'd expect given the chances they're making and giving up. Their biggest issue for the past few seasons has surely been mobility and energy in the middle of the park, yet they've just spunked £40m on Gakpo, another wide forward. Like the £40m they spent on Jota, the £45m they spent on Diaz and the £80m they spent on Nunez.
