Nobody here for a bit of Belle & Sebastian on Corro then?

Ooh err…that would have been some offer.

It’s way too hot at Gunsite beach.

Steve talking to Ben using the Belle & Sebastian lyrics refereing to throwing discus for Liverpool or Widnes.

I’ve just seen this screengrab from Coronation Street.

It’s too early to word a cohesive message re rules being all over the place.

Apparently you can foul someone before a corner is taken but can’t foul someone before a free kick is taken.

This is based on recent weeks experience (although the foul before the free kick wasn’t ref’d correctly).

It feels like so long since I’ve been out with mates that its only Tuesday and I’m already thinking about what to wear on Saturday.

Still winter coats or, as it’s sunny, can I bring out a lighter wax number?

Follow me for all the important questions.

Your outdated pop music references only went with your Mother β€˜cos she’s dirty.

Being bent like that scares me.

I always think of George in that Seinfeld episode as well.

I very rarely stretch so my inflexibility is all my own fault.

I tried pilates a few years back.

It made me realise just how unflexible my limbs are. I’m pretty sure 90% of the people there were double jointed.

I’ve not had one in > 20 years but sticking with this.

The crispy noodles from a Vesta curry (?) were amazing but reckon the main dish was probably awful even then.

A Geordie ale to watch the Geordies fail.

Less than 5 hours to a big game so obviously hitting the drinks hard.

I’m discounting the Carabao Cup as they’re always midweek so accept an evening kick off…and be the same if we get them in the CL.

Jeez, that’s ridiculous.

I didn’t realise the lack of consideration for fans went much further than the PL and EL.

I only saw last night that the City v Newcastle FA Cup game is also at 8 on a Saturday night.

Coming after the previous PL game kicking off at 5.30 on a Saturday.

Away fans for both teams are being fucked over (and that’s ignoring home fans that have to travel in).

She’s complaining (barking) as the bread she stole is GF and hasn’t been buttered.

Going to bed drunk at 2am and with an interview tomorrow morning.

Ooh…Walsall on NYD.

Worse than Coventry.

Eek.

I worked and stayed near Walsall every week may years ago so I don’t want or need any reminders of that place.

Arsenal on current form are leading City in the Christ, that’s fucking horrendous stakes.

Can their bottling trump City’s general shit play or will City fightback with their amazing ability to let the opposition walk through their defence to score.

Nobody is a winner here (unless Villa take it).

You have to give Arteta credit for that substitution.

Not many players could play a 1-2 with the post before scoring an own goal.

Tough away game but Arsenal extend their lead at the top.

I’ve been home alone tonight so Seinfeld and 9 shirts ironed.

Refreshments were Vimpto and a cream egg.

That’s why I had my Mother in law come to respectable Cheshire from the (admittedly posh part of) Wirral.

Before 4 during term time should be fine.

It’s a shame it’s too cold to sit outside the cafe where we’re going for a dog walk.
