Canny, this

Meanwhile, over in tomorrow's Brentford match thread

Just did the Christmas food shop and Sainsbury's was surprisingly quiet. I was expecting panic buying like we usually get in these situations. Maybe people are still working their way through the bog roll stashes they built up in March...

Living up to fop's legacy was just too much denpressure for him.

In news no one could possibly have anticipated, telling ten million people they'll be subject to new rules from midnight and for the foreseeable future causes a substantial number of them to try and leave before midnight.

Marry me

Best inform Rod Little, for some reason he's not on the same page

I know it's hardly an original observation but a huge chunk of everything that's wrong with this country can be directly traced back to the Mail and the Sun (and to a lesser extent the Express, though they're nowhere near as important as they wish they were). I find it remarkable how we're so willing to let them and their owners gaslight us over and over again.

Stocking filler, anyone?

Or like them relaunching the Phileas Fogg brand with a completely different product range involving no Mignons Morceaux or Punjab Puri. Savages.

We might not, but it'd still be raging on Twitter, where the loon population is regrettably substantial

The only haulier he'd be faster than is Gérard

I see essembee is writing for the Mirror now

Maybe they'll rest Toney to save him for superior opposition.

Football under Rafa was shite though

Bring on Solano, we'll take them 4-3.

Never in doubt

Apparently we're playing tonight. 6pm KO, Jeff Hendrick starts. You're welcome.

He's back.

Rejoice rejoice, Eurovision season is upon us again

In the same way as not going to the relatives for Christmas has been an easier sell now that we know the most vulnerable parts of the population will be vaccinated by the time the number of cases naturally falls in the spring/summer anyway, so we can make up for it then, it is doubly insane to be talking about letting the virus tear through the country right as we're on the cusp of actually getting some kind of control over it. We've come this far, surely giving up now would be the worst of both worlds?
