So were you all playing at the same time still? That sounds like an odd way to do this.

I'd rather listen to Michael Owen I think

She got her visa approval today (thank god!). Being constantly alone has one seeking out familiar voices.

Latest "football ramble meets..." is michael owen. Its actually quite a good listen, completely glosses over the four years he was here mind you. If you can put up with him you get a good insight into the sheers arrogance and inability to self-criticise of the man. Describes his move to Real Madrid and taking the move believing he was better than Raul And Ronaldo as "self belief" He had a pop at Lucas Perez the other day (completely incorrectly as it turned out Perez not coming on was the managers decision, not him refusing to come on) The irony seeming to be lost on him considering his time with us.

Come and be a steward, we won't pay you though...

Magnificent

Ok, I should say "mostly" hunting focused. That fucking 50 cal was a monster! it was huge! All the pistols and a couple of AKs were available but in a locked room as they required a different sort of licence to all the shotguns and hunting rifles.

Not particularly, would love to have a go though. Its a very different culture of gun ownership here it seems, compared to the americans, its all hunting focused rather than "home defense" military boner automatic cock substitutes. I was talking to one of the guys who works there for ages as he explained various things to me, it was a worthwhile trip.

Ohhh they do! https://strandbergguitars.com/portfolio_page/23-misha-mansoor/

Nah, they sound kinda crap regardless, as did the EMGs I had in a guitar I don't own anymore. Dimarzios seem to be the most readily available thing out here, a brand I've never paid attention to really so I know nowt about. Some bareknuckles would be delightful!

I went to a gun shop today, which was quite an odd experience having never actually seen a real gun up close.

I went to a nice guitar shop today actually, Rock Shop! They had some cool stuff in there, chiefly this Sterling Petrucci model which was absolutely phenomenal

I've got chairs for days man, I'll get him yet!

Took a few more, better pictures now that its home and I had some time. I've put some proper strings on it now and its much livelier though the pickups still aren't great, if I decide I really do like playing it I'll replace them with something. Dunno what but its an interesting instrument, plays nicely, bridge is good.

I presume theres no direct flights from nashville to london, same website I got that time from says that LA to london is indeed 10 hours.

Both flew to the US, played and then flew another few hours to their next fixtures and played again before flying home. You might not think it has an effect but that doesn't bear out in the thinking of most managers, coaches or reality. Teams have huge issues playing european games in the week and then domestically and none of them are travelling as far as those two players have unless they're out in russia. And the quickest flight from Nashville to London is 10 hours.

He likes money too much, the worst owner wouldn't have any.

3-1 to us. Hopefully Rondon and Yedlin will be fit to start after some long journeys in the international break. If not then 1-1.

Its 4 posts further up the page man

Yeah, fair enough

I've gotta say your attitude and comment on yourself is absolutely ace @strawb considering all you've had to deal with

Ah mate, welcome to my world!

Thats brilliant, who on earth printed that?!

There comes a point where you're just getting childish tbh mate.

Wait...is that not peoples normal experience playing football?
