I can definitely see Pardew resigning. I reckon Mourinho could be tempted by the 500k a year on offer as well.

One of your biggest regrets?

It's one of my biggest regrets, aye.

Looks like you're quick on the uptake too.

Great anecdote. Keep them coming.

Hey, this kid's got some good patter. Not at all like your stereotypical Old Firm cunt.

It was a good finish but Williamson didn't even put a challenge in.

What an utterly pathetic, gutless and tactically inept performance. 3 years running now under Pardew we've gone out of the FA Cup at the first hurdle after being completely outplayed by a lower division side. I'm not sure who I hate most at the moment. Probably Obertan. That Pardew at West Ham comparison seems more apt all the time. Fair enough Shola's sending off was a joke but that just partly masks the performance. We deserved absolutely fuck all from that game. They're 9th in the Championship as well.

It's like the ghost of RobW past.

As a fans' spokesman I prefer him to that Kevin Miles who hoyed his lot in with England when it became clear we weren't going to be the dominant force in English football.

Jesus wept.

Where is it?

You'll get dried porcini mushrooms at any supermarket. You might struggle with the other two though. You'll get tinned Borlotti beans but fresh ones up here? I doubt it. I don't think I've ever seen potato flour. What's that for? Homemade gnocchi? Mmm...Deli might have it. I thought Nigellisima was canny like but all the recipes are on the BBC website.

I shared a bottle the other night as it happens. Eminently quaff-able

Is that Aldi's version of Taittinger?

Week in Crete in May and a week in the Lake District in September for me.

Has there been some over officious moderation here?

Thought Twin Peaks was great at first then petered out a bit. I think Lynch was only involved in the early programmes (although I might be wrong, it was a while ago). I kept watching it though. There was nothing like that on telly back then.

The tiger btw

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Aye, we went early (before it opened) and it was the right thing to do as it was heaving by the time we left. Definitely worth a visit though.

Tbh I don't know, it's just what people have said. As it happens I went to Barcelona in January once. I barely saw a cloud but it was -15c overnight and barely got above freezing during the day. It looked beautiful like but fuck me, it was freezing. The fountains were frozen solid.

It's a bit like going to the races, having a few bets, getting pissed and coming home with about the same amount of money in your pocket as when you left the house.
