Renton

I see. Of course.

I think this is turning into a sit/stand wedge issue. I just don't feel I can trust Gloomy at all now.

Right, how the fuck does that work? Do you peel out the outer layers or something?

Here's a really fiddly recipe you can try. It's not as nice as the real thing which is much simpler, but here it is anyway. Fanks, top tip Gemmill.

Well, they're an excellent source of nutrition for you weirdos who do not participate in eating flesh. High protein, high fibre, nearly zero fat content. We go through a punnet a day. Does anyone remember that ear worm advert, "Make way for the mushrooms!"

I fucking love mushrooms. Don't really understand how you can afford to turn your nose up at them if you're a veggie, they are an absolute staple for Mrs Rents.

Exactly. You've got to enact these little acts of revenge when you can.

One of life's little pleasures is eating tinned fish in the vicinity of people like you. Tough titty.

} Love fish cakes, love sprouts cooked correctly. Rhubarb, marzipan, avocado meh. I always love the look of sea food, crustaceans and the like, but it usually disappoints taste wise. Don't hate it though. Probably the only thing I'd struggle to eat is offal, especially tripe or faggots. Horrible.

TBF I just said "I didn't know you knew me that well" before throwing it in the box with all the other shite mugs I've acquired over a lifetime.

We swapped our Secret Santa presents day earlier this week. I took a considerable amount of thought over mine, got my colleague a personalised present that he will genuinely use. Anyway, the lad who was supposed to get mine obviously had completely forgot, so off he runs to the shop to get an emergency present. Everyone's opened theirs by the time he arrives back then so he has to give it straight to me. The cheeky cunt got me this.

Before I forget, I listened to this during my walk this lunch time. Explains the problems the West are experiencing with immigration and the trade offs that politicians of both sides just cannot be honest about. It's well worth a listen. Prof Hein de Haas undoubtedly knows his onions, despite being a dutch cunt rather than a french cunt.

Are you sure you didn't meet up with - erm - Jacob Rees Mogg?

Gordon's injured isn't he?

Someone's not getting their champagne enema this year......

Never mind that, what the fuck is happening with this title? Gemmill not only unilaterally decides he is the geek to start the thread, but destroys months or years worth of tradition with a title only an accountant could be proud of? We're fucked now.

I completely agree re: where we were and the future I just think it's delusional to pretend finishing last place was a good thing, which is what a lot of people have convinced themselves of. I always assumed under Keegan and Robson after each disappointment we'd win something at a later point, and we never did. I know things are genuinely different now, but my guess is our history is giving me nagging doubts.

They're in the league and FA cups.

What the holy fuck is this?

Plus a place in next years CL. Plus - CAPS LOCK ON COS THIS IS IMPORTANT - WINNING SOMETHING. Plus each match we play in Europe, the more experience we gain in European competition, the more nights we get to enjoy home and away, and the better it is for our European pedigree. I mean, do you think Milan - semi-finalists in the CL last year -were gutted to beat us yesterday and enter this competition? Didn't look that way to me.

You may be right that this is disappointment borne out of over achievement, but it's still absolutely gutting to get this close and fail. Also on the back of our two worst PL defeats. Also they said on the radio just then that us and ManU both finishing last might take away the fifth qualifer spot, an added kick in the nuts. Completely agree the future is bright and I support Howe 100% and just really hope the club can back him over the long term as a dynastic appointment. And I think they will. But nothing about last night was positive, I absolutely do not understand why people think being out of the EL - a European competition we absolutely could have won and qualified for the CL through - is a good thing. Saturday is a huge game now we will have to pick ourselves up against opponents in amazing form. Massive pressure now for Tuesday night, we lose that and I personally think silverware is gone for another year and I really don't see us getting top 4 this year unfortunately. WIn that though and I genuinely think we have a chance of silverware but then again - Liverpool. This isn't being negative, just objectively how I see it. Hope we can strengthen in January, that may change things.

I'm gutted that not only did we come last in the group of death, we didn't even play any proper teams. Anf of course, the mackems would have beaten AC Milan. Time to give up I reckon. Let's just give up our ambitions and live our lives vicariously through the mackems. That's what football's all about marra.

Got to admit, I feel as low about this as I ever have done since the takeover. A lot of people kidding themselves otherwise I reckon. Always jam tomorrow with us. I want my jam now ffs.

Frustrating. I would have been happy with a draw.

Cowardly Itai cunts will defend it out.
