Not quite make it to the mug factory in time?

Eeeeee! Cups.

Safety reasons- As well as the bladder, he’d inevitably fall off the stand, pissed.

No

Quiet day in the office, lads? How Gemmill has the absolute temerity to cry like a slapped babby about the occasional pun-run, then hit the Mumsnet button like this is beyond me.

Not ‘appen.

Great read that. “He still remembers a Wor Flags display hailing him before he began his ban in October last year.”

Just watched No. 24 It’s the story of the wartime resistance work of Gunnar Sønsteby, Norway’s most decorated citizen. It’s done very simply, starting with him as an old man delivering a lecture to students in his hometown, with cuts to wartime to show his stories. Highly recommend it if this is your area of interest. On Netflix.

Ask Ibby

In the last 10 years, they finished 17th in the PL, then got relegated, then flew down to League One, where they’ve spent the majority of the decade. They are now having a spell up in the 2nd tier. Since 1992, which is when they keep telling us football started for us, they’ve had an almost 50/50 split between being in the top tier, and bouncing around between 2nd and 3rd tier. The last time they were in the top tier, Wenger was still in charge at Arsenal. Their most famous victory was as a 2nd tier club. They’ve never, once, filled their ground. Their record low attendance was 3,498 vs Oldham Athletic in the EFL Trophy Second Round on 1 December 2021. A match in the same competition against Bradford City on 9 November 2021 did not have and official attendance recorded Their current record transfer is £16.5 million for N’Dong. None of the above are comparisons to us, they are simple, verifiable facts about their club. To be fairer to them than they deserve, they’re not a small club, but they’re also as far away from a big club as it’s possible to be.

Putting a few levels all round their gaff would create even bigger wind vortexes on the pitch. They’d likely actually witness* an F1-2 Shitnado. *obviously not eye-witness, as there’d still be no cunt there, but you know what I mean.

I’d avoid talking about cracks, Ibby.

Since Albert is recycling old posts, I’ll also do my bit for the digital environment.

I think you missed some details while you were no doubt pulling the neck off it. Eddie Howe on Harvey Barnes: "Harvey will be missing for a period of time. We don't think it's a serious injury but it's enough to keep him out for a few weeks, we're probably looking at around a month. That's the early assessment. It's an injury to the muscle in his thigh."

What the fuck is he getting at in the bit after the highlights? The only possible sensible conclusion I can think of is that he’s pointing out how unlikely it is we’ll have crowds as low as 40,000 in the foreseeable future. Is that player mentioned one of the two future England captains I should be jealous of? It’s just that I’ve honestly never heard of him.

How’s that a problem, it’s their modus operandi.

Wrong ex-player, mate.

All the other blokes had the chance to back out but they just couldn’t resistor.

When they asked him if he would say whether or not he’d drugged his wife… … he refused. @Gemmill, are you sitting comfortably, we’ve begun.

Did a bulletin board fall on top of him?
