"You can only go to the coffee shop so many times, you can only feed the chickens and the ducks so many times, and, you know, it gives you that edge," said Neil Warnock after his return to the dugout.

Imagine bumping into an "on-edge" Neil Warnock at the duck pond.

"We figured we may as well put the boot in since it's easy, chances are it's all over before any of us get there anyway, and maybe he'll stop going on about Greenland for at least a couple of weeks if we make a show of it"

It's really sweet how the young cat has adopted some of the older cat's skills and mannerisms.

Like how she fishes snacks out of the this-toy-yields-snacks-through-skill toys and eats them straight off her paw.

But not how she drags her dinner halfway across the carpet and eats it there. Not that.

I'd argue that any decrease in pressure has been far smaller than the increase in expectations, and when you combine the "no more errors" expectatrion with "there are still going to be errors" and then "but we will sure as shit refuse to learn from them"...

It would definitely help if the natural position of every football supporter in every country with VAR were not "VAR is the mere continuation of systemic bias against my team specifically"...

It was meant to make their lives easier, no? Take some of the pressure off.

One of the biggest failures about the way it's currently done, especially given that half the time they still get meatwalled even though it's out of their hands at that point.

Hell, we could call it the Stephen Ireland Rule. You get two opportunities to swear on your dead nan that you never touched the bloke and you have no idea why he fell over, please take another look.

But the line is drawn at the third dead gran.

Coach or captain. And maybe they don't agree, but it's gotta beat the current "let's all harangue the ref while nobody knows anything" the way of doing things, especially if you limit their ability to inflict drama by limiting unsuccessful appeals.

01.03.2026 19:53 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

iirc the "can I get a check on that please" requests are strictly limited and you lose one for every unsuccessful appeal. So at the very least it would reduce the frequency.

The shop where I used to buy my English sausages is shutting down. I've got like two packs of sausages left for Full English Breakfasts, and that's it.

Gotta eat NΓΌrnberger for breakfast, like barbarians.

Hard times are upon us.

On the diagnosis, I wouldn't even fault them tbh. But I'm not exactly convinced that "let's shaft the billionaires" is gonna solve all our problems, cathartic as it may be.

At the risk of sounding incredibly old: back in my day, I'd have ended up elbowing somebody, and the ref would have let it go as a "if you're a dick, you don't get the decisions" thing.

Gonna tell my boss that all these no-insider-trading rules and trainings seem very unamerican to me.

Yeah, 500ml. You never miss the other 68ml, but it still brings joy to my heart when a place does pints (like Lithuania - where the cans are simply labelled with 568ml).

Wetting myself at the German commentator talking about "schlecht verteidigt von den Hammers" and he pronounces hammers as ham-ers, in the sense of pork rather than nail-on-the-head.

He was amazing in the 'gladbach days. But then there's a running theme of "does well at 'gladbach, goes to Dortmund, never works out".

Last player I can remember for whom that WASN'T true is Marco Reus.

If Restore Britain really want to bring 1997 back they should get Right Said Fred to do the music for all their videos (I understand they're not averse to a bit of batshit nuttery either)

This is like Leni Riefenstahl after doing acid at a Happy Mondays gig.

1997 also happens to be the year I moved to Britain, and the only thing from the video that actually looks like 1997 in any way is the teletext font.

Awesome catering-to-the-target-audience on that one though.

Sat here at the tailend of a sinus infection. Been swimming again twice a week since mid-November. Lost ~5kg.

Put my belt on to go to the doc yesterday and my wife goes "it's scary how much weight you've lost since Tuesday."

GTA game set at Apple Corps circa 1970. you're Mal Evans doing missions for each Beatle mid-breakup. gathering sheep for Paul's farm, scoring heroin for John, flying Ringo to Nashville to record a country album, stealing sheet music for the Chiffons' "He's So Fine" for George

I feel like there should be a light-hearted Marco Rubio cartoon before the main feature.

The younger cat has just stolen the older cats food and @kateofthewillow.bsky.social - who will excuse all other misdeeds by the younger cat - is practically standing on the sofa yelling "HAU SIE! GIB IHR AUF'S MAUL!"
