He's got a point though. I know people who'll place similar sums on Ukraine and Russia qualifying for the Eurovision final every year. On the surface it's an obscene amount of money they're putting on the line, and yet every reasonable indicator leads them to the obvious conclusion (and one that pays off several years of their mortgage) time and time again. You just have to have the balls to do it, I suppose.

Aw, Stevie. Not playing ball?

And not even a particularly good one. An £8 minimum wage by 2020, by which time inflation will have eaten up most of the difference. Cheers. Although I suppose even a commitment to maintaining the status quo is better than anything that will be offered elsewhere.

33/1 to be our next manager. Could be worth a safety bet just to soften the blow.

...FIFA hates us...

Schalke would be the obvious nearer-term destination for him I think, aye. Other than that it might depend on what noises Löw makes about his future - if he indicates that (contracts aside) he might step aside after the Euros providing Germany win it or come close enough, there'd be an obvious Löw - Klopp - Tuchel chain reaction there, at least assuming Tuchel's happy to stay out of the game for that long. But then that also depends on Klopp wanting to take over the national team at this stage - I could imagine him wanting to tick the box marked "Premier League" first...

Ah, Wesley Saunders, (as) we knew him well.

Based solely on the tracklisting I'm going to assume it sounds exactly like 16 years ago.

Good piece, although some of the language used by the various protesters is so German. Got to admire the general attitude though. I haven't seen as much of the Bundesliga as I'd like this season either, just the odd game here and there, but the top of the table right now is excellent: 1 Paderborn, 2 Mainz, 3 Hoffenheim.

Radical anti-Pardew terrorist cells.

Slumdog Fishmongaire.

There were a few mutterings around me about the next goal being important considering the mental hex Man U/Ferguson had over us/Keegan at the time, but that was mainly from the sour-faced old boots in the row in front who barely cracked a smile on the Tino Barcelona night. I was wearing jeans, probably from somewhere highly fashionable like C&A because I was that kind of groovy young adult.

Oo, we posted the same thing 30 seconds apart. I feel just like the Leicester fans must have done when Ulloa scored straight after Di Maria today.

He put us to the sword in the league around then too, basically sealed the deal on the subsequent switch as part of the Cole deal, I imagine

Bastid.

Whereas in fact they'd taken a beating much like Everton have at the hands of Crystal Palace today. The parallels are uncanny.

To be fair to CT, his memory is better than usual in this case. Ordinarily it'd be "Leicester fans must be feeling like we did that time we beat a team in red, mid 90s or so, think Shearer scored ?".

At what point today were the Leicester fans thinking that? 5-3 and a man up?

Decent.

It's all right, isn't it? I wouldn't want to drink it all night like a real beer, but for those times when you just fancy the "beer experience" - a cold drink after a hard day's work type thing - it's a decent alternative to have kicking about in the fridge.

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/21/scottish-referendum-massive-voter-turnout-means-politics-changed-for-ever Hard to disagree with the sentiment; harder to agree with the optimism of the piece as a whole, sadly...

NUFC: Krul, Janmaat, Dummett, Coloccini, Williamson, Tiote, Colback, Sissoko, Gouffran, Cabella, Riviere.

Not thinking about it is definitely the best way, if you can manage it! I just broke 30 minutes for a Parkrun 5k for the first time this morning, when I started Couch to 5k early this year it was a struggle to do the first week. It's a slog and there's no point in pretending it's fun, but my lazy bones prove it can be achieved.
