  1. See that I would probably be ok with ATM, I just don't know if he stinks or talks shite constantly.
  2. Think I have finally bought a house. Had to stump up and extra 2k upfront because the mortgage providers down valued it, the bag of dicks. It's been a full on fuckery but hopefully it's done now and I can get on with actually making it nice
  3. It's obviously subjective but I lived there 2 years, and hated it. I did 2 years in London and didn't love that either but (very) occasionally you would meet people who were sound. Not in Leeds though (imo)
  4. I mean, I was making an anchorman joke but I suppose you are right
  5. Might wanna check when your lass is on the blob as well mate
  6. I'm taking references to you being in Yorkshire as definitely being in Leeds, so apologies if I'm wrong. I fucking hate Leeds, hate the city, hate the shitty satellite towns and fucking hate the people. Most miserable set of self important fuckers in the north of England. People in London were nicer than them ffs.
  7. Knockaert is the worst fanny playing football at the moment, loves a dive and whinge. Decent player though and can take a set piece which we are still missing. I think they're was something in those Lucas from Liverpool rumours btw, I can see that or a similar older head coming in before the window closes.
  8. I live in Manchester and am considering a season ticket. If I go through with it I would be driving up for the games and could possibly pick you up. This is entirely depended on a few things though, I haven't decided if I want to go full season ticket yet or just the occasional game, even if I get a season ticket I would probably miss a few games due to work, I would also need to do some background research on you (nothing personal)
  9. The young left back from Leeds, Taylor, has knocked back a new contract, he is better than anything we have and only 19 I think.
  10. I mean, you just admitted to not knowing players at other clubs, so who in your opinion could we feasibly buy or loan that is better than what we have? And before you say that's Rafas job, if he wanted "better" he would go get it. If he doesn't then he is obviously happy with what we have, no? fwiw I have seen a lot of Bamford for boro, he is very average, all of our forward are better than him. He scored a decent amount of goals because boro were one of the best teams in the league and he played 50modd games.
  11. Nah. I will just use this less and less until I pack it in completely
  12. Been off the fags nearly 2 years using mine. Getting cancer probably helped a bit mind. Down to the lowest strength liquid now, not bad from 20 tabs a day.
  13. I went on a tinder date with a lass recently, knew up front she was 6'1" she was a fucking size 10 foot! Not having a lass who can comfortably wear my sneaks to take the bins out
  14. I punched a seagull once at Whitby, it was trying to nick my chips, didn't expect to actually get it. It looked offended and flew off.
  15. I'm a "millennial" have owned and operated a VHS, even remember going to rent videos as a youngster
  16. Doesn't matter what country they are from, nobody should be fancying Phil Jones.

    Going to see Sun Kil Moon at the Manchester college of music in a week, really looking forward to it.
  20. I'm just not sure they are as talented tbh mate, Alli could be anything he wants in football so will have to wait and see about him but Sterling, he is really quick but what else is he good at? He is one footed, doesn't score many, doesn't set many up, struggles to beat a man despite his pace. He had a great season at Liverpool but I am afraid it was a purple patch and now everyone thinks too highly of him.
  21. Cheers mate. Tbh the ability to take games by the scruff of the neck ala Gazza is a one in a million thing. We are in relation to other nations quite small (Germany/Spain/France for example, geography isn't my strong point) so naturally we are going to produce less footballers, therefore less good footballers. The reason we aren't producing those players imo rests squarely on the shoulders of the coaches, but then in turn the managers and owners and media. I did a bit of coaching in Spain once and everyone there working with even small kids had licenses, they concentrated on technical skills and education about the game, more about the why than the how, if that makes sense? Working with kids in this country it tends to be based on old school values of big, strong, fast and win at all costs. But then the managers can't afford to give good kids a chance cos they will get the sack, owners can't afford to get relegated because the prem is too rich to miss out on and the media builds people up just for idiots to eat it up. It's a quandary because we fell in love with the old school values of football, 442, wingers, leaders, shouters and real men etc. But I am afraid that type of football is dead now, the sooner English football realises it the better off it will be.
  22. Told you to get it out man, might want to have a look how much you paid for the chimney to be sealed up as well. Doesn't sound like it was done right.
