The Fish

Oh it'd be a mission for the job she's been offered but I meant, in the future, Ilkley is the kind of place I'd like to settle down.

Yeah there's some nice looking houses that are dead easy for my lass to get to her new job and not too much of a compromise in terms of size/standard or price. Plus it means we can get a Dog and good grief do I want a Dog. I want it so much I make it a proper noun for God's sake.

She's been offered a better job on more money, no brainer really. It's north west of Stockport but we want to live somewhere a bit nicer & we've a couple of mates who already live in Manchester so Re: the rent thing, we'll rent for a year then buy once we've worked out which area we want to settle down in, which will 100% be in the North, but it's not yet clear where abouts. I'd be happy moving to where she grew up (Ilkley) but understandably she wants to make somewhere else her home. If we could find somewhere that has the links, the amenities and the pace of life as Ilkley elsewhere, that'd be fucking great. We should be in a position to buy a house that'll work for the family we're planning on having. The fewer house-moves the better iyam.

A mate's mam used to work at the Findus factory and would bring home the misshapes. Just picture that, a misshapen Findus Crispy pancake

We're looking to move to that area too, but not for a while. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-39123459.html

Bless his heart, looks like he's at an ice cream van, trying to work out if he can afford a Flake 99 with the pound coin he has in his pocket.

Unsurprisingly, my issue wasn't with the lion head, I'm all about the liony-ness. It's a source of pride. The blocks of primary colours suggest childishness and simplicity to me. Don't really associate either of those things with the Premier League, do you?

If you want to get wanky, isn't the logo supposed to represent the brand? Not sure how that logo reflects the purported core values of the Premier League?

Someone introduced me to savoury pancakes a few years back; goats cheese, bacon and spinach. Lovely but like you said, the pancake bit is ... meh It's just a bland accompaniment to the stuff that actually tastes nice.

Where are you looking?

Ironic that they're the more "United" set of supporters. Mind, they do love a cause, they'd have had a walk-out if the Jeremy Kyle was taken off air.

This is a clerestory of jalousie

According to Physioroom.com only one player has suffered more injuries for us in the past 20 odd years.

Excellent attempt to deflect the conversation. The problem is I worked for that company for about a month, that Stained Glass Window has been up for over a decade. I was a stupid kid when I made my decision, you were a full grown man.

You can't deny he's been unlucky with injuries though can you?

Yeah but how much of that evaporation was due to the King's utter inability to arrest a slide? A trait repeated at each of his clubs. Chelsea & Stoke are two very tough games at the best of times, but Chelsea need to get out of the bottom half, and Stoke are in an awful run of form (last win was against Norwich).

To be honest, for all the attacking players go missing, the defence want shooting for our failures on the road. If we could keep a fucking clean sheet we've definitely got the players that have the moments of quality in them, to turn a draw into an away win. Since the Palace drubbing we've only lost by 1 goal in all but 1 of the away fixtures ( and 3 of the 5 games were lost in the final 15 minutes or so).

really? I didn't see that! Shit, you're right he was. Well, don't I feel foolish... Fuck off Thompers, you relentless bellend.

think the nascent On Demand service will mean people who just want the goals and not much more will be able to get that and people who want more discussion & insight will be able to download/stream that as well. There might be issues with the highlight duration? There'll be ways around it though, surely? Like if they're talking about formation, they needn't show the actual footgae, and instead do the MNF big ipad thingy instead?

Frustratingly the more topics there are to cover the more trite the comments. It's only really when it's been a fairly dull day of football (or one of those Saturdays with only 3-4 games) that they can really get into an issue. A lot of Wright & Shearer's contribution seems to be "well he's got the ball there and he's taken his chance early and the 'keeper wasn't where he should be." Which doesn't really tell you that the player's dropped off his defender or if his teammate has distracted the defender with a well timed run, nor where the 'keeper should be. I like seeing Shearer when he gets impassioned about a topic, I mean sure, it's often about us, but when he opined about the ticket prices, it grabbed my attention.

Which is bang average for Premier League centre backs.

He's bang average, but that's better than nowt. He's too try-hard for me, like a politician claiming to be into a band it just makes me cringe.
